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

I don’t know if a main character since the fairy tales days has been so misjudged simply on his looks. Adrik deserved so much better than his father and the people who mistreated him simply because of his looks. I am so happy Adrik found Annika.

Adrik had met with much misfortune in his life. At 8, he was disfigured by a dog. At 17, his father kicked him out of the house. At 19, Adrik found himself on the streets, homeless. Adrik figured out a plan and put it into motion. He joined the Popov Bratva and sought to make a better life for himself. Just as things were starting to turn around for him, tragedy struck and Adrik lost the people most important to him except for his Bratva brothers. Many years after working his way up through the ranks, Adrik is a trusted soldier. He gets a special assignment, to guard the boss’s daughter. The only problem is that Adrik has been crushing on her since joining the Bratva 8 years ago.

Annika is not like all the Bratva princesses. She is weird, quiet, and shy. Ever since recovering from a childhood trauma, Annika has liked playing her piano more than being with people. After a recent attempt on her life, Annika has been confined to a wheelchair. When Annika’s stalker reappears, she agrees to go into hiding but she wants to pick the guards. She picks Adrik and his partner. As Annika gets to know Adrik more, the more she knows that he is the one for her. But so much stands in their way.

When the stalker takes things to the next level, his identity is discovered. Adrik is haunted by this. Things come to a head when Annika is kidnapped and Adrik is left to the Bratva to be dealt with.

Let me say that I am a mafiosa at heart. I have not spent much time getting to know the Russian Bratva but if all are like the Popov Bratva, I will find room in my omerta’d heart for the brotherhood. Excellent story. Fantastic characters. Strong, sassy women!!! Just the right amount of heat. What is not to love? Not much!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is part of a series, but it works as a stand alone book. I have not read any of the other books yet, but I still enjoyed this one. The main characters are Adrik and Annika. Adrik has facial disfiguration from his childhood and hides his face. Annika requests that Adrik guard her, and they grow close during that time. The story was a little predictable about the mafia princess falling in love with her guard, but it was well written and enjoyable. The best part of the story was that both characters had trauma that they pushed through. I loved that they helped each other grow and overcome their trauma.

This is the fifth installment in this amazing series and while I have only read one other book in this series I am looking to pickup the rest of the series as soon as possible. But trust me when I say that this author will hook you from the very beginning and take you on an emotional ride. This author gives us not only an emotional ride, but a ride full of suspense, drama, romance and so much more. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is about Beast aka Adrik Volkov. He is nothing like his father who had double crossed the Russian Bratva.
Adrik was hoping for a place in the Bratva but in order to earn a spot he must fight Timofey.
Adrik was at the lowest of the low when he left home. He couldn’t stay any longer. He needed to get away, get settled and then go back and get his little brother.
He watched Annika from a far. Kept his face hidden from most. No one really knew what happened to his face. I loved his character. He had had such a rough life along with his little brother Damien but Adrik refuses to bow down to his dad and follow in his footsteps. He wants something better.
He becomes a trusted member in the Bratva after being with them for about a decade. He watched Annika grow from a weird young girl who was like an outcast, to a beautiful, young, talented woman. He knew he couldn’t get close to her because she’s a Bratva Princess and then she would see his face and run from his ugliness.
When Annika’s life is in danger, the two men she chooses to protect her at a safe house is Adrik and Timofey.
This book had some crazy suspense I didn’t see coming that’s for sure. I loved the friendships formed throughout the book. Annika was such a strong character even with her recent disability. She doesn’t back down from a challenge even when the odds are stacked against her.
Just loved this from beginning to end. The men in her family, every last one of them are amazing men. Definitely looking forward to another book from the author. Maybe Efrem will be next? Cannot wait. This was Definitely another 5 star read from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another explosive story from this author! I loved the story and the characters! This flows along at a great pace and I quickly read it in two sittings! The characters are resilient and not what I expected.

At first I was hesitant because Adrick is only a bodyguard and I wasn’t too interested in him. Boy was I wrong! His back/story is fascinating! The growth he had over his life is remarkable as he has faced many struggles and horrendous things. It is amazing he turned out like he has. I love that he had the secret crush! I still remember when I read the line anout how he had touched her for the first time…he was sooo excited or giddy. So refreshing! I could hear his thoughts in my head.

While I enjoyed Annika, her plight and her strength I was more empathetic to the beast and how everything would play out for him. I did like all of the family involvement into the storyline.

Overall this is an outstanding addition to the series. This is the fifth book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone. The author does a good quick job of artfully filling pasts where they need to be. I look forward to more!

So this is the first book I have read in this series. I don’t feel like I was missing anything. I do believe I will need to go read the first 4 books though! Adrik and Annika’s story is wonderful. It has everything you could want; suspense, twists and turns, love that sees past what is on the outside. Is their love enough though to see them through the traumas they have both endured in their lives?

I absolutely love a good Mafia story and I have to say this has got to be amongst the best I’ve read. It was an absolutely fantastic read – from beginning to end I was completely hooked. I think Adrik had my heart from the very beginning – with everything he went through as a child, my heart broke for him so many times. Annika was not what I was expecting at all from a Mafia Princess! I loved her character straight away. This story was so heart-warming – I loved the slow burn between Adrik and Annika, it was so perfect for them. I just absolutely adored them both!
I read this book as a standalone and it was also the first I had read by this author but I will absolutely be looking for more to read!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the Popov Bratva series. And wow this series keeps getting better with every book. I have loved everyone. The author does an amazing job with the characters giving the reader and insight into a Mafia family while also making them realistic. This story is a romance but it is full of danger and heartbreak as well.

Adrik (Beast) has a past that has scared him in a physical way as well as emotional. His upbringing was hard and because of the scars on his face he is used to people staring at him. After his upbringing he joins the Bratva to find a purpose and something he didn’t expect to find, a family.

After working for the Bratva for a few years he meets a woman that takes his breath away Annika. However he is too scared he would scare her so he keeps his distance and doesn’t show his face.

Annika has had trauma in her past as well the most recent indecent was when she was attacked and stabbed by an unknown person. While she recovers she has seen Beast around and has felt a connection and an attraction she can’t explain.

When the stalker returns and threatens Annika’s life again she is told to leave for her own safety, taking just 2 guards for protection. When she chooses Beast she sees it as a chance to finally get to know this mysterious man while Beast is going to do everything in his power to protect her from danger but also from the shock of seeing his scares.

This book is full of romance but also a great deal of danger. Your heart bleeds for both Beast and Annika for the past they have had and for the things they are still going through and dealing with. Can two Wounded people heal each other? Or will Annika be repulsed like so many others by the scars left on Beast?

I loved reading this story. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book as it is just as great as the first. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are well written and her writing skills bring each story to life. This book is no different. The characters pulled me in from the start. I found them to be connectable and had me coming back for more. The author’s use of details made me feel as if I was part of their world. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. A story you don’t want to miss, a must read. There is great growth throughout the story of the plot which made the story easy to read. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.

5 Stars

 

Beast is the fifth book in the Popov Bratva series by Leslie Georgeson. I love this series so much, and it just seems to get better with each new instalment. Book #5 has proven to be another feather in Ms. Georgeson’s cap- another fantastic Bratva romance- a bit of an intense and emotional romantic suspense with lots of action, dramatic developments, tension, danger, intrigue, secret crushes, forbidden romance, scarred MC, sweet fMC, heart-wrenching details, chemistry, sizzle, endearing & interesting characters, mafia politics, and violence.
I loved Adrik (Beast) when I first met him in the previous instalment, even though he was just a supporting character. I knew there was so much more to him than what we were shown/told, and I wanted to know ALL the details—- so I was thrilled to find he was getting his own book.
What an emotional and heart-wrenching story he has to tell, my heart ached for what he had gone through. He and Anika are so sweet together, but these two have harboured secret crushes for quite some time, and being his boss’s daughter, and a Bratva princess, theirs is a forbidden romance. So that definitely throws some angst and drama into the mix. Add in the stalker element, danger, and drama- and things take an intense turn. Ms. Georgeson doesn’t make things too easy for them, making them work for any happiness and their chance for a HEA.
I highly recommend this addictive series. Each book could be read as a standalone, but, like me, you will probably find that one book isn’t enough and will end up binge reading the entire series….

The series consists of:
-Freak (Book One) ….. Zeke and Mia’s story
-Snitch (Book Two) ….. Sacha and Willow’s story
-Thug (Book Three) ….. Lev and Siena’s story
-Thief (Book Four) ….. Dom and Leah’s story (Dom is Lev’s twin brother)
-Beast (Book Five) ….. Adrik and Annika’s story (due for release in Oct 2022)
-Punk (Book Six) ….. due to release in March 2023

Happy reading!

Thank you, Leslie Georgeson!

Beast (a secret crush Mafia romantic suspense) (Popov Bratva Book 5)

I was so excited the Adrik got his own story. I have only read Dominik’s story so far but there was something very endearing about Adrik. As soon as I saw this was coming I knew I had to read it ASAP and I have no regrets.

Adrick has quiet the interesting back story which only made me like him more. His determination to make something of himself was admirable.

Annika is not the typical Princess, so someone coming for her made no sense. She simply wants to live as simple of a life as possible.

I was on the edge of my seat as I turned pages and may have lost track of time reading when I should have been doing other things like working.

I need to slow like down a bit so I can go back and read the others before the next book is released.

I enjoyed the thrill of this book but also just the story line and how it built. Tallie was a great character and I enjoyed the dynamic she shared with those she shared camaraderie with.

Adrik had a horrible childhood with some trauma that resulted in facial dis-figuration. After living on the streets as a teen, he finally gets up the courage to ask the Russian mafia for a job. After being hired, he fell in love with a mafia princess but he cannot get close to her or let her see his face.
Annika was attacked five months ago leaving her wheelchair bound. When the psycho came back for her, her mafia family sends her off to a secluded house in the middle of the night under watch. She requests Adrik be a guard. Once there, the two grow close but he must protect her at all cost and he is not suppose to get close to her.
Opinion
This is the fifth book in the series but the first one I’ve read. I found that I was able to follow the story quite easily, even though I haven’t read any other books in the series.
I’m a lover of mafia romances. This book is a lot less violent that other mafia books that I have read and would be perfect for those interested but squeamish.
The story is cute, mafia princess falls in love with a guard. I just found it odd that Adrik would not let Annika see his face and would cover it up with hair and a hoodie. If he is guarding her, he should be able to see all around them at all times. Covering your face up would not allow this. Other than this oversight, I think the book was a great and sweet love story.

This is the 5th book in the series by Leslie Georgeson and I am still in awe. The way that this book was written to tell Adrik and Annika’s story was wonderfully done. The way that these characters interact, and their story unfolded was done in such a wonderful way that I found myself reading instead of working. Adrik underwent something horrific, just like Annika did and once they finally were able to share with one another what the other went through, it solidified their relationship and had them becoming closer to one another. There were lots of twists and turns in this book that had me unable to guess what was going to happen next. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and find out what happens next!!

Revenge Never Rests
By: Laurie Lewis

This book is the second book in the Tallie Brown series. I never read the first book before stumbling upon this book and I will say that it pretty much works as a standalone. I do highly recommend reading the first book first, only because there is a lot of backstory needed that made the first portion of the book hard for me to follow. However, once I got a grasp on the characters and their backstory, I found the book absolutely impossible to put down. As a character, I really liked Tallie. Her back story was hard to relate to at first, but she is such an interesting and complex character that I found it impossible not to root for her. I don’t want to give too much information because anything else will spoil it. Pay close attention when reading this because there are so many clues hidden throughout this book. It definitely hooked me and didn’t let me go until the next page. I can’t wait to continue reading more about these characters in upcoming books!

An entertaining read, which had me gripped from start to finish. In this page turner of a novel, Tallie Brown’s life never made sense, she was brought up in isolation by her mother, Julia. Who would take her from one third-world outpost to another, suddenly and without explanation. Life normalised for Tallie when her mother took a position on a mountaintop in the Pacific northwest. However, when Julia unexpectedly dies, Tallie soon discovers that her mother had a secret life. Meanwhile, Journalist Jackson James’s promising career ended, resulting in him working as the editor of a community rag in a posh D.C. suburb. When a lead about a potential scandal takes him to the dying Virginia coal town, Cutler’s Ridge, he meets a mysterious and beautiful woman, Tallie.
Both Tallie and Jackson are loners and do not trust easily, but as their stories become intertwined they come to the conclusion that something terrible happened in Cutler’s Ridge. There are those in the town who want the past to stay hidden, and the couple are soon threatened putting them in danger. This was a fast paced story with great characters, an atmospheric small town setting, and a storyline full of drama and suspense. The likeable and relatable Tallie was a great main character, and I liked how her relationship with Jackson developed throughout the story. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life and made me feel immersed in the storyline. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I definitely recommend.

An enjoyable and entertaining novel, which had me hooked from start to finish. Having read book one and been introduced to the main character, Tallie Brown, I was looking forward to continuing her story, and I was not disappointed. This second novel picks up where the previous one ended, so I would recommend reading them in order. Tallie was raised by a paranoid woman on the run, and having spent her life hiding from the ghosts of her mothers past, she uses her unique skills to track down those who have simply vanished. When Tallie responds to an Amber Alert for a missing girl, it leads her to discover that General Cai Kaswell, her newly discovered father, and the world’s best hope for peace is amongst the vanished.

Tallie gets drawn into a conspiracy that links her past to the string of unsolved disappearances, and her search for answers sends her around the world. Having nearly lost her trusted friends, Tallie is assigned to a charming operative, but she doesn’t fully trust them, and has to watch her own back as she searches for General Kaswell. Tallie learns that she may be the unwitting catalyst for all the disappearances, resulting in both Tallie and her father being lured into a plot that will threaten the Constitution, and the balance of world power. This is a fast paced, page turner of a story, and I was kept gripped throughout. The storyline is full of drama and suspense and the plot twists keep it from becoming predictable. I love Tallie, she’s a likeable and realistic main character, who is easy to feel engaged with. A five star read and one which I definitely recommend.

This book is utterly fantastic. It really pulled me in from the start and could not read enough about Adrik! This has been a strong series so far but I think this book has to be my favourite. It seemed to have that extra level and I really connected with it. The story was dark an intense and the whole book had an exciting feel to it.
This is still a relatively new author to me and yet with each book she solidifies her place as a go to author. Even though I have just finished this book I am already looking forward to the next.

Revenge is a dish best served cold!
This was an awesome addition to the story filled with action, suspense, drama and of course romance.
Adrik (aka The Beast) has a disfigurement but appears as a confident, put together kind of guy only to those he knows but deep down he has insecurities stemming from trauma. Similarly, Amelia has her own set of issues and secrets that she keeps hidden. Together these two create chemistry and steam but there is so much against them. There is so much emotion. I don’t want to give too much away as there are so many layers to their story. This is the fifth book in the series and can be read as a stand-alone but much better as a part of the series.

Leslie Georgeson writes a gripping dark and twisted tale that has become addicting. She writes compelling, and complex characters that will entice you to want a closer look.
Beast is the fifth book and is a thrilling forbidden love secret crush romance story where the main character is anything but ordinary. His looks alone scare people that is where his name Beast came from. Annika has led a sheltered life as a Bratva princess. She is off limits as the Boss’s daughter, but he can’t help but love her. She is the one thing that is able to see past his scars and see him for who he truly is.
This book in the Popov Bratva series is full of everything you could want to keep the reader enthralled. As with the other books in the series there is intrigue and suspense, passion and angst, lies and deceit, secrets and betrayal, danger and violence.
It reminded me a bit of Beauty and the Beast in a twisted and dark Mafia way with a scarred and broken man, a forbidden princess and a monster of a stalker this instalment will have your heart breaking and melting at the same time. There are also some steamy moments that will fog up your glasses, moments when you are on the edge of your seat and moments when you will need the tissue box.
Don’t miss this gripping tale.

I loved the first book in this series and equally fell in love with this the second book, Revenge Never Rests. I enjoy Laurie’s writing style and her compelling way of telling a story. Her first book Secrets Never Die where we were first introduced to Tallie was one of the best suspense stories I had read this year and this one is just the same.
The interesting characters are well developed and believable and easy to like.
Will Tallie be one of the hundreds who disappeared as she finds herself drawn into this conspiracy?
This is an action-packed tale with drama, twists and turns that keep the suspense real.
Add this to your TBR list and prepare to be wowed.
No spoilers here. I really can’t say enough good things about this book except that you need to discover this gripping world that Laurie has created all by yourself.

Adrik is riddled in scars and carries himself in way that his him working his way up the ladder. When he sees Annika, a Bratva princess, he decides he will never leave this life if only to keep an eye on her. He plans to stay in the shadows but Annika is haunted by her past just as Adrik is. After years hiding from her Adrik crosses Annika’s path and soon they form a friendship that slowly builds to something more.

A ton of twists in this story. Both Adrik and Annika are carrying scars from things that happened to them. I liked Annika a lot, she was perfect for Adrik. Adrik’s character was written in such a way that you are pulled to him in an emotional sense, you just want to become his protector. Highly entertaining read.

This book is a very easy to read book. It went quickly for me because I couldn’t put it down. The characters grasped me by the heart strings in the very beginning. This book has its share of drama and edge of the seat suspense. The characters have trauma and growth. This book hits on everything that I enjoy in a book. It gives the characters a voice, almost as if they are speaking to the author in person. The details in the book are in a class above most. Being able to actually visualize the events in the books AND feel the emotions that the characters have makes this book one that can’t be put down. You will feel yourself giving off the emotions of the characters to anyone who dares to try to talk to you while reading it. Tears to raging anger and everything in-between is the emotional roller coaster you will go on. I highly suggest this book to anyone who is wanting to escape from their own reality for a little while. Must read!!!
