4.7/5 Stars
This was my 2nd book in this series. Thief was the first book I read and this book was just as good. I love how the book was written and the first few chapters give some great insight on Adrik. The flashback portions weren’t distracting or misplaced and really help us learn why Adrik is the way he is. This series is so good and the books being able to be read as standalone books is refreshing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start this out by saying I’m not the hugest mafia/bratva fan but PHEW. This author got me changing my mind. I find something incredibly sexy about a scarred up MC- especially when they have more substance than their character revolving around their scars. The chemistry between Adrik and Annika was off the charts. Annika was beautiful and despite being a princess- she was relatable- who doesn’t feel like an outcast every once in awhile? I love the way their story unfolded and I can’t wait to read the rest in the series. I might just give this genre more of a chance! Check it out my friends- it’s definitely worth a read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beast is a stunning mixture of mafia and beauty and the beast esque vibes. Leslie Georgeson creates a suspenseful story full of betrayal, slow burning love, friendship, family. Not to mention a chest full of the dark side of humanity to those different from the norm, and faith in the wrong people?! I loved the HEA with these two “weird” humans who found each other in the midst of their pain and sorrow, and the complicated journey they had along the way. All the piano scenes had my heart and soul trapped!

This book was much more fast past than the first and picks up right where it left off. There is a lot going on and a lot of people involved throughout the book. The author continued to develop Tallie’s character as Tallie is discovering herself after learning the secrets that make up her life. Great ending to the series.

This wasn’t a fast read for me, but it was a GREAT read. The author did a great job giving a little more of the characters personality throughout the entire story. So many times I thought I knew what was going on and she hit me with another piece of the puzzle I didn’t see coming. Highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot get enough!! I have not read the other Bratva books, but I now definitely plan on going back and reading them! This novel stuck out to me because I absolutely love the Beauty and the Beast story, and this sounded comparable. I was not disappointed in the slightest. You will love everything about Annika and Adrik. The author did a fantastic job creating these characters and did the same with the plot.
This is definitely still a Mafia novel, so do not get that confused with the romance entwined within. I can guarantee you will still find it thrilling and mysterious. I definitely did. I highly recommend this book. You will not be able to put it down!

See a penny pick it up, all day Long you’ll have good luck or so it is said. This is so not the case for Gabriella.

Gabriella finds an old coin when she got lost on a hike. This coin changes her quiet peaceful life upside down in days.

Richard, an investigator is on vacation with a quick interview with Gabriella. He wasn’t told all the information and finds himself now protecting her and trying to keep Gabriella alive. Through the trials of trying to keep her safe both find themselves drawn to each other. Will there they cross that line or will she keep to her wedding vows? This book was a wild ride. Terrorists, Israeli’s and a crazy murderer is on there tail.

This book was a wild ride of tension, stress, and passion. This is the first book I have listened to from this author. Lots of side plots but stays true to the main story. Loved it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed how the reader found out things about what had happened in Adrik’s (also known as The Beast) past as he revealed them to his love interest. It’s sweet how they both have this desire for each other, and although he has worked for the family for years, Adrik has attempted to maintain his professional distance from Annika. The two have their individual traumas that both eventually feed into the events that unfold when Adrik and his best friend Tim are the two Bratva members assigned to be Annika’s personal guards when she begins receiving threating text messages. I am excited to go back and read the other works in this series! I have not read a book written by Mrs. Georgeson that didn’t have me hooked!

I wasn’t sure how I felt about the book at the beginning as there were a lot of moving parts. At times, I had a hard time following the storyline. As the book progressed, characters made sense. The author did a great job at generating strong emotions for each character, whether it was love or disgust. The ending took me by surprise and it wrapped things up well.

One coin could lead to so many things if you know where to look. Gabriela happened upon one, a 1945 French coin to be exact, on a walking path. Due to this, it unlocked a new adventure that was going to be hard to handle for her. In comes Richard, our lovely American spy, who investigates this mission that ruined his vacation but gained him an interest. Their connection is amazing to hold in to. Great listen!

This is a great story and already looming forward to checking out more of this series!

Set in the beautiful French Rivera ..this fast paced story all about a “Coin”…that Gabriela finds on her own not realizing the implications of this find. Richard Harrison is set to see the coin and protect Gabriela… stakes are high for sure!

Secrets, agendas, thriller….. I enjoyed this listen and definitely cannot wait to discover more!

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amazing! Heartfelt, heartbreaking, and heartwarming all in one! Adrik is a loyal Popov boyveik, or soldier, and he has been for a long time. It’s the only place he ever felt accepted because of his facial deformities. He is known as the beast. From the moment he saw Annika Popov, the granddaughter of the Popov mafia leader, he knew he needed to get to know her. But she was off limits, and he wanted to shield her from having to see his deformed face. This is a love story, but it’s also a family story. The Popov family is strong and wealthy, and they worked very hard to be in that position. Adrik’s family, and family trauma, are nothing like the Popovs. Sadly, his past comes back to haunt him. Read this book if you love suspense, betrayal, family loyalty, and fighting for someone you love.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow. This was the perfect mix of dramatic, emotional, loving, exciting, dangerous, and relatable. Read this book! This is the first book in this series that I have read, but I can’t wait to read the rest! This book is about Leah and Dominik. Leah is a pop country singer with a secret past nobody knows about, while Dominik is a part of the Bratva brotherhood, his mob-like family businesses. Dominik is a thief, but he stole the wrong girl’s car, or so he thinks. Read their story! It is exciting and you won’t be able to put it down! I loved Dominik and Leah’s story and I know you will too! It’s the perfect combination of action and romance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a crazy story! Many twists and turns, very cynical, but extremely entertaining to listen to. It kept me on edge the entire time. The narrator does a great job of building the suspense with his voice, along with the words he is reading. If you love suspense novels that keep you guessing from beginning to end, read this book! I am a bit of a scaredy cat, but the writing is amazing and the story will keep you coming back for more.

I enjoyed listening to this audible.  This is my first one by this author and I look forward to listening to more by her in the future.  I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story using different tones to keep the story engaging.  I also enjoyed how they brought the twists and turns to life with each word.  This is a great audible that had me coming back for more.  It is fast paced and engaging.  It is a romance story with a twist of suspense added to it.  This is an audible you don’t want to miss.  I highly recommend this audible.

Adrik and Annika’s story might just be in my top three favorite reads for 2022. I did read this as a stand-alone without any problems but you can tell other characters have a story to be read so I’ll definitely be going back to read the rest of the series. There’s so many amazing things about this story, the characters pull you so completely into their world it’s hard to leave when the end comes. Once I started this book I simply couldn’t put it down. I read it in one night and wished I could have slowed it down but I was just way to invested. I’ll definitely be rereading this one though. Well written with characters you’ll fall for. Five huge stars and highly recommended!

This is the second book in The Tallie Brown series. I had not read book one, but I definitely will be. Yet the author made it easy enough for me to stay in tune with all that was happening.

This book kicks off with a bang and doesn’t stop until the end. I thought this was such an exciting book and I really enjoyed the journey it took me on. As the second book in the series I would recommend reading se regs never die first however you csn easily pick up this story.
I found myself constantly changing my mind about everything in this book. The author weaves such a tale and the characters add so much more to it. You could see them develop as the story progressed and I loved what we got to know them now. This was a great book and I cannot wait to see what will be next.

This story focuses on Dominik and Leah, two complete opposites. One lives in the shadows and seems to operate only in darkness while the other thrives in the light. While on a heist Dominik has a wrench thrown in his plans when the owner of the car he is boosting jumps in and goes along for the ride. Each has secrets that could easily get them into trouble or end a career. Dominik isn’t one for getting attached to anyone but something about this woman is making him want to break that rule. Will these two end up with a happily ever after or will they try to ruin one another? Now that I have read at least two books in this series I plan on going back to read the rest. I really do dislike when I read books that are part of a series but I started at the end, haha. Granted this can be read as a stand alone. <br />You won’t feel lost as the author has written the books in such a way that they all tie together but you don’t have to read the others to get any back stories. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

I just want to start off saying that this book was a good read. I liked that Adrik had a plan to make things happen to try and better his life and then set things into motion. After having such a hard life due to some unfortunate circumstances he didn’t feel like he stood a chance doing anything. He must’ve felt like he was on cloud nine when the Bratva Brotherhood let him into their ranks. He spent years proving that he was a good and loyal soldier to them so he got the task of protecting the boss’ daughter, Annika. Adrik is the only one that stand between Annika and whoever is after her. He has been crushing on her for years but he doesn’t want to scare her away like so many others with his scars. Will he be able to keep her safe from himself?

The Coin (Audiobook) is a Romance Suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat as your listening. The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and keeping my attention throughout the story. This is a  fast paced story that is set in the French Rivera and is about  betrayal, love ,hatred that bring forth personal greatness (triumph). Gabriela’s life is a bit complicated and she finds herself at her favorite spot while there she finds herself in unfamiliar area and discovers a coin. Then there’s Richard who is an American Intelligence officer who is  not happy with his boss after he asked him to do a favor.  Turns out that favor  has him protecting Gabriela from a killer who will stop at nothing to keep his secret safe. I truly enjoyed listening to this story and highly recommend listening/reading to find out what happens next. Im definitely looking forward to seeing what other books this author has to offer.

Revenge never rests is the second book in this series from this Author. Although i have not read book one in this series i was still able to follow right along. I felt this book was a really fast read for me, it kept me engrossed. I honestly love Tallie brown’s Character dealing with her feelings with her mom and not to mention all the intensity and twists in this read. I was unable to predict what was going to happen in the book and it was so wonderfully written that you will not get board. if you like clean romance suspense reads i would highly suggest going and reading this book. Thank you to this Author for writing this book and i look forward to reading more books by you.

Taking a getaway, Gabriela visits La Marbriere France. While there she finds a 1945 French coin. That is where everything turns deadly. Richard, an Intelligence officer who was on vacation, is now helping to keep Gabriela safe while trying to catch the man who is threatening her life. This story is fast paced and is a rollercoaster of twists and turns. You will find yourself listening and getting caught up in this Romantic Suspense. The author has clearly written this series to entertain her readers. Her characters are just everyday people whose lives are turned upside down. I could not put this book down.

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I chose this book for the name thinking it was a twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast, and even though it wasn’t completely, I enjoyed it so much! I’ve been reading a lot of mafia books by Amy McKinley in the past year and a half or so, and even though it wasn’t by her, it was just as fantastic as all of them have been.

This book is the fifth of the series but I was able to enjoy it without having read the other books first. I enjoyed the story a lot, the flashbacks that pop up throughout made me want to not put it down, because it made me need to know more about ‘Beast’ and his haunted past. I love the connection that he forges with Annika, and how she is able to show him that it is what lies beneath the surface that matters more. Can’t wait to read more by this author!

Forbidden love tropes are my absolute favorite!!!
Add a broken man who needs fixing and I’m hooked!
I truly believe that our soul mates are suppose to have such a significant impact on our lives that we are forever changed and this book just cemented that believe.
This book is superbly written with well developed characters and an amazing storyline.
I did not read the previous books in this series, so it can definitely be read and enjoyed as a standalone. But I loved this author’s writing so much I’m going to read the other.

What an amazing journey I took with these characters! Finding a seemingly worthless coin and having it mounted on a charm bracelet, the heroine’s life is forever changed. It turns out, the coin can help identify a villain. Said villain does not wish to be identified. The author provides a suspenseful mystery, with a tiny dollop of romance to tease the listeners. Betrayal, heart-wrenching choices, and above all- a wonderful tale from a truly masterful storyteller is what awaits you when you open your ears.

I love it when I pick up a book by an author that’s new to me and their story is not only suspenseful but gives enough details to understand the main character and what she’s going through. This book has intrigue, multiple suspects, and it keeps your attention because it’s so good. I do wish I had read the first book in the series and I might still read it anyway.
Tallie Brown faces a lot of challenges but seems to figure out what’s going on before something happens to her. Moments when she faces how her life could have been very different are things many of us see in our own lives. This is one of the best suspense stories I’ve read in a while and I’m looking forward to reading more by this author.

A fast-paced tale of romantic suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat. I found the narration to be quite fascinating. His voice was perfect for adding the right tough of suspense. That plot, the author wrote one that flows until BAM, there’s a twist and it continues through the story. I love stories like that. The characters were well developed and written into the story well. I found myself engaged into the story from the beginning. The only thing missing was my ear buds so I could listen to this all the time. Excellent story.

I haven’t been this interested in a mafia story in ages. I couldn’t put it down! Adrik and Annika are this unlikely, yet perfect pair that fit together in the most unexpected, wonderful ways.

Learning about Adrik’s traumatising past, along with Annika’s, and seeing the similarities was absolutely insane. There are twists, turns, and love in all corners of this story that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire book.

I loved every minute of this one, and I just KNOW you will too.
