Title: The Russian Bodyguard
Series: Krasnov Brothers
Author: Rie Warren
Genre: Mafia/Dark Romance
Release Date: December 7, 2020
 

I am her bodyguard.
I’m her only hope. 
I’m going to break her, teach her, train her.

I cannot stand this prissy brat who practically throws herself at every guy she meets. Yet I’m tasked with babysitting her. The pakhan’s daughter tests my patience, makes me want to break out in uncontrolled violence, or maybe just throw her down to show her what all her teasing does to a real man.

She’s untouchable. Until a Russian rival mafia comes seeking revenge. I’m about to teach the printsessa a lesson she’ll never forget, and I guarantee she’s the one who will be taking my orders from now on. 

The Russian Bodyguard is book 3 in the Krasnov Brothers series. No cliffhangers. No cheating. Includes vivid, steamy scenes. Can be read as a standalone.


✯✯5 Maksim Filled Stars!!!✯✯


Omg I’ve wanted this story since I read The Russian Thug!! I knew once Sasha and Maksim gave into their feelings for each other they were going to be explosive. 


We start off right after we left off. Arkady and Lucia are getting married and everybody’s that’s everybody is there. 


Maksim would like to just be able to enjoy his older brother’s wedding but unfortunately for him he’s on the clock 24/7. His job is to be a full time babysitter to Sasha, who’s the only daughter to Yuri Zolotov. Maksim is tasked with keeping her safe and alive no matter the costs. 


Maksim and the his brothers don’t get to enjoy the wedding long bc they’re ambushed and Sasha is kidnapped. Luckily, Maksim has gps on her and gets to her quick. 


The last thing Sasha thought she’d been doing that day was being taken by somebody and then having to get dirty in the process. That wasn’t the worst part. 


The Zolotov Bratva is under attack over something that happened years ago with Yuri and another Bratva and now they’re coming for payback. 


Yuri knows what to do to keep his only daughter safe. Sasha will marry Maksim. Sasha is instantly against it but Maksim agrees immediately. 


Maksim lets Sasha know once they’re married she’ll do what he say’s no question’s asked or he’ll bend her over until she understands him. Sasha is both furious hot and bothered. 


If you read Arkady’s book you were prob hot like I was reading it. But, man Maksim was hotter!!  Sasha has always been a pain in his backside but lately she’s gotten under his skin for different reasons and he wasn’t sure how he felt about them. 


Safe and Maksim are usually at each other’s throat’s fighting for everything that you can imagine. Now, they’re married, living alone in a small place and they’re just waiting for the other shoe to drop with their enemies. They’ve also given into their desires. 


OMG I read this book in a day!! I was wondering what was going to get Sasha and Maksim together after them hating each other for so long. It was so much better then I could’ve ever thought up myself. 


After reading all about the Krasnov brothers and the Russian mafia life. These brother’s are equally dangerous and hot and they’re all on my favorite list. 


I’m equally attracted to another set of mafia brothers we met in The Russian Thug. Jo’s brothers who are now allied to the Krasnov and the Zolotov Bratva. I’m all for the O’ Sullivan brothers.  






Maksim’s chest heaved as he read me the riot act. “You are fucking impossible.”

“And you are the worst man I could ever have been shackled to!” 

His hand snapping out, he squeezed my cheeks hard. 

I tried not to flinch, but his grip was vise-like. 

Maksim lowered his face to mine, his gunmetal irises just this side of demonic. “I really will beat your ass if you ever attempt to go out on your own again.”

“Do it!”

Releasing my face, he yanked me into his unyielding embrace. His mouth crashed over mine with a fury I’d never tasted before. 

I struggled, kicking at anything I could reach. 

He speared his tongue into my mouth, wildly claiming what he thought was rightfully his. Holding me caged against him, he drove a hand into my hair, angling my neck, trying to conquer me. 

I let out a strangled growl then let the rage and arousal explode out of me. 

Wrath, lust . . . I despised him. 

Desire, rage . . . I wanted some part of him. 

Maksim grunted when I licked between his lips, drawing me up his body so we collided in all the right ways—for once. 

We kissed so ferociously, clawing at each other, practically tearing into one another to get some kind of upper hand out of this pure madness. 

And still the heat roared. 

We broke apart just as forcibly as we’d clashed together, both of us breathing hard. 

“I hate you with every single fiber of my being,” I scathed.

“That makes two of us.” A hard sneer crossed his lips that had just been slanted across mine. 

Then, Maksim struck. 

He grabbed both sides of my blazer and ripped it open. Buttons popped off, pinging across the room. I looked down at my ruined leather jacket just as he tore if off my back. 

Breasts thrust against the corset that remained, I saw him through a haze of red when he slung the jacket aside like it was no more than a piece of rubbish. 

I launched back to smack him right across his face, but he captured my wrist in an iron grip. 

He towed me inexorably against him again, and all my feral instincts went into meeting his wild kiss. 

A loud groan thundered from his chest when I rolled my tongue over his then nipped at his bottom lip. His hands roved from my arms to my ass, and he cranked me right against his undeniable erection, which threw me back into that heady spiral of hate and lust. 

His sculpted features came slowly into focus when he drew back. 

A filthy grin the likes of which I’d never seen played across his lips that—goddamn him—had felt perfectly voracious against mine. “Shall I tell you what I’ve been thinking about?”

“What?” All the breath caught in my chest, my voice emerging raspingly. 

His smirk widened. He paced backward a couple of steps. Without taking his eyes off mine, he removed his tie. With a shift of his strong hands, he unbuttoned his shirt from top to bottom. A shrug of ropey shoulders, and he eased the material from his muscular tattooed torso. 

Then his fingers—the ones that had bit into the fleshiness of my ass—dropped to his trousers. 

The belt slithered and hissed like a snake when he removed it. He stepped out of his shoes, toed off his socks, went for the closure of his pants. 

His voice the same gruff timbre as always, he unzipped, saying, “I have been thinking about my cock in your mouth, Sashenka.”

✯Release Review✯The Wives by Tarryn Fisher


🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

THE WIVES by Tarryn Fisher is LIVE!!!

“You’ll have whiplash until the very end.”—New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover
New York Times bestselling author Tarryn Fisher delivers a pulse-pounding, fast-paced suspense novel that will leave you breathless. A thriller you won’t be able to put down!
Thursday’s husband, Seth, has two other wives. She’s never met them, and she doesn’t know anything about them. She agreed to this unusual arrangement because she’s so crazy about him.
But one day, she finds something. Something that tells a very different—and horrifying—story about the man she married.
What follows is one of the most twisted, shocking thrillers you’ll ever read.
You’ll have to grab a copy to find out why.


✯✯5 Crazy Stars!!!✯✯ 


This is my first book by Tarryn Fisher and it’s definitely NOT going to be my last!! I was hooked from the blurb and hoped the book was as good as the blurb and it totally was. 

Thursday loves her husband Seth. But their marriage isn’t conventional and isn’t for everyone. Seth is married to Thursday and two other women. Yes, they’re in a plural marriage. Only Thursday doesn’t know Seth’s other wives. She doesn’t know anything about them other then they all share Seth. She doesn’t even know their names. They’re referred as “Monday” and “Tuesday” and Thursday’s OK with it. Or so she thought. 

When Thursday sees a paper for a Dr’s appointment in Seth’s pocket for a “Hannah” she wonders is that Tuesday’s real name. Thursday decides to do a drive-by to get a glimpse of what she looks like. Even though that’s totally against Seth’s rules she figures what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. 

Thursday bumps into Hannah and realize they’re total opposites, from their looks to how they’re living and even how Seth treats them both. 

That one conversation with Hannah makes Thursday question everything about herself, her marriage and everything about Seth. Thursday wants answers from Seth but isn’t sure she’s ready or can handle the answers. 

Once I opened my kindle I couldn’t put it down until I finished! I legit couldn’t figure out what was going to happen next or what was real or who/what was fake or lying. 

I’ve always loved thrillers and suspense books. It’s why Stephen King has always been one of my favorite authors for as long as I can remember. I’ve been reading a lot of romance and fantasy/paranormal books for awhile now. So getting a chance to read this book was such a great treat. I’ve forgotten how much I love this genre and that I need to start reading it more often.

✯Release Review✯Untwist (Unbound Trilogy #3) by Kathy Coopmans

Title: Untwist
Series: The Unbound Trilogy, Book 3
Author: Kathy Coopmans
Genre: Contemporary Romance


I waited ten years to grasp hold of a woman I knew was too good to be mine.
Back then, I had failed her. But I knew, somehow, someway, unknowingly to her, I’d find a way to make it up to her.
All the years in between, I watched her from afar. Keeping her safe, protecting her from the shadows that crept in the deep, dark of the night.
Then, out of the blue, she unraveled me with one sweep of her innocent little tongue.
The woman drew me straight toward all her light.
Blinding.
Intoxicatingly.
Mine.
It didn’t take long for me to come undone. Fall in love and change the course of my life.
Ellie Wynn had untwisted me from leading a lifestyle that should have never been mine.
Then fate gave us a crash course about how not all good things come to those who wait.
I’d failed her once again.
This time, her life is on the line.


✯✯5 Untwisted Stars!!!✯✯ 
I’m strung up because of it. I’m tumbling down because I should have known, the shadow that lurked in the night would steal her from me, in a blink of an eye.
And, now, I’m left to wonder how much can a person take before they break?

This is the last book in The Unbound Series and omg what an ending!! You definitely must read the first two books in this series before you read this. 

We pickup exactly where we left off. Shadow’s lied about his release date and he’s came for Logan and Ellie. Caught them by surprise. He’s shot Logan and left him for dead and taken Ellie but not before she fought for Logan. 

Logan knew he should’ve killed Shadow years ago and he’s regretted it ever since. Logan doesn’t plan on making that mistake again. But until he gets that chance he’s gotta take it easy. Logan’s been shot and his younger brothers and closest allies are banding together to find and get Ellie back home and serve up Shadow on a silver platter to Logan. Logan just has to be patient which he’s not known for doing. 

Ellie has lived in fear bc of Shadow since he entered her life and ESP since the night he attacked her. Ever since meeting Logan her entire life changed. She doesn’t want to love her life afraid and alone anymore. Ellie loves the light, happiness and strength Logan brought into her life. Ellie refuses to believe Logan died. She can feel him still and until he comes to rescue her she won’t backdown to Shadow and fight him off every chance she gets. 

Ellie is one strong woman. She never saw herself as strong and never stood up to her fears. Once Logan entered her life Ellie’s backbone came out and she embraced it. She fought and stood up for both herself as well for Logan. 

Logan’s always been a protector. He’s always looked after his brothers since they were younger. He even took over his fathers business that he never wanted. Protecting Ellie was no different. Logan has also loved Ellie since the instant he laid his eyes on her. Logan worships the ground that she walks on. 

These two are literally couple goals. Even when they’re at their lowest, after they’re in mourning a loss and dealing with physical and mental pain they still are madly in love and more worried about the other one before themselves. I’m so in love with Logan and Ellie and as much as I loved their story, I’m sad it’s over. 

I’m hoping Kathy is definitely writing Logan’s brothers stories bc those fine men desperately need HEA AS does Ellie’s best friend.

Once when I was a little girl, I dreamt that my dad painted our house pink because he wanted the whole city to know that inside the castle, lived his princess and his queen.
There were thick vines covered in bluebonnets that rose up from the ground and went past my bedroom window ending somewhere in the bright blue sky.
Below on the green grass stood my prince. I couldn’t see his face; I only knew he was someday going to climb up, and we were going to live happily ever after just like all the movies I watched with my mom and dad.
When I woke, I knew our house wasn’t pink, and I knew the man that stood there waiting for me wasn’t real. I pretended he was, and even though I thought boys were yucky, I remember telling my mom about the dream. She didn’t laugh and tell me it wasn’t real. She told me seeing was believing. She said children have a vibrant imagination and mine could be whatever I wanted it to be.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be. I only knew someday I wanted to be a mother.
I wanted someone to love me the way my dad loved my mom. So, I used my imagination, and I pretended and daydreamed as most little girls do. Sometimes, my dreams came vividly alive while I slept. Others would occur at random, like the times when my parents and I would lie in the field, surrounded by bluebonnets and gaze at the stars.
In this dream I’m having now, I’m hopelessly in love with a man with dark brown hair and the greenest eyes. A love like ours wasn’t a conventional type of love, but it’s our love, and it came on quickly. Beautiful to me, and everlasting.
In my dream, I’m holding a baby, and this man was holding me as we stared down at our unexpected miracle. I couldn’t tell if it was a girl or a boy. I couldn’t even see its face. I only knew it was a part of me and a part of him. Its heartbeat vibrant and steady. It has ten fingers, ten toes, and a head full of hair the same color as the man. It was perfect, it was healthy, and it was very much alive.
In my dream, there wasn’t a monster holding a gun; there were only beauty and peace and a whispering breeze of calm. In my dream, my parents are alive. My mother knew who I was, and my father, he wasn’t lost in his sea of pain.
I gasp, choking on my saliva, spitting it out and feeling it dribble down my chin as my dream switches directions. The gears start shifting. They grind making an awful noise, and my life swerves, spinning out of control. I come to a dead stop, ending with my worst nightmare in front of me.
A hallucination that can’t be real.
Unpredictable and volatile.
I blink and close my eyes several times to clear the fog. I need to see my baby’s face instead of the monster.
I open them slowly, to find my baby is gone. Sweat drips down my temples; dread surrounds me because as my hands frantically search for my child, it’s then I realize the man holding me isn’t the man I love, it’s the monster.
He’s found me.
