Man this book I thought I d read a couple of chapters before beginning work this morning and oh my goodness I was glued to the pages all day sorry boss it s ok I had already done everything I had to do for work in case you re worried. Anyway this book It reminds me of so many well loved romantic suspense I used to read extensively like Sandra Brown and Linda Howard The whole story doesn t let up for a minute You re thrown into the thick of things from the very first page it s fast paced you don t know what will come up next and it all flew very beautifully. Beautiful Russian Monster can be read as a standalone and is on KU 9798212956208 Viktor and Blarie Asterdam He kidnaps her to save his friends This one was better than the first. felt real Your dating profile would be so compelling willing to kidnap vast knowledge of firearms and the dark underworld of crime Strong silent and wants his way all the time Will put on your seat belt for you Her Opposites Secrets Kidnapping CL listen 9798212956208 Riveting. Odette writes exceptional stories But here s the thing Each one is better then the last and it isn t something an already accomplished writer usually manages For me she is in that top 10% of writers everything she composes flows This latest book starts off grabbing you and pulling you into the story you will not want to put it down I had a very hard time not going to the end to see what was going to happen cause I couldn t stand the suspense Very few books read that way This is a five star suspenseful ride. This author can write If you want high end action sensitivity emotion and slow burn romance you just found it Highly recommend 9798212956208 I HATE captor captive books where the heroine doesn t know when to shut her f king mouth There is no sense of self preservation because they always somehow because the author doesn t have the lady cojones to write dark heroes that the captor won t hurt them She was just kidnapped by the guy and spends the hike through the woods and the car ride asking TOO MANY QUESTIONS In real life she d be tied up and tossed into the truck with a dirty sock in her mouth Ugh Naive heroines are the bane of mafia romances 9798212956208 I was so drawn to her Would my darkness swallow all her light It s been about two years since I ve gotten lost in an Odette Stone read and I m happy to say that her stories are still incredibly well written and so easy to immerse yourself in Beautiful Russian Monster definitely leans into the suspense aspect of the story heavily and straight from the start while the romance aspect slowly builds and builds along the way with tension and a bit of sweetness. Viktor and Blaire are essentially forced on this dangerous journey together in order to save his friends and her grandfather Viktor has a past and experience in doing these dangerous and often criminal things but Blaire is in a whole new world Reading these two falling in love slowly while on this rollercoaster ride was so sweet Odette truly takes the time to convince you of why these two match up While the title does give extreme dark mafia vibes the book is suspense journey with a slow burn romance plot There s some criminal activity but it s less mafia corrupt happenings Anyway I don t want to get TOO into it because this is a story you need to experience on your own. Also that ending Excuse me Ms Stone I need answers quickly Note this is easy to understand standalone but I highly advise that you read Dark Russian Angel prior to this You don t need it to understand the plot but it will introduce you to some of the characters in this story and why they are where they are in their lives Not required but in my opinion read it first. AVAILABLE NOW ARC 9798212956208 I m in love with Viktor 9798212956208 A reviewer mentioned this was like Jason Bourne and YES Take Jason Bourne make him a grumpy monosyllabic Russian and give him a HEA and you ve got this book. Viktor is the aforementioned ex Russian special forces grump who s trying to go straight but he gets pulled back in by a shadowy dude who wants him to do bad things The bad thing is kidnapping a heiress and then traipsing to Asia to retrieve some doohickey that belongs to her grandfather Listen the plot was wild and didn t make a whole lot of sense but I didn t care because it was such a great ride This is an epic adventure into Asia Cambodia Vietnam and Singapore all play a part and during this wild and life or death escapades the stoic Viktor transitions from kidnapper to protector The burn is slow and they don t kiss until halfway through but I didn t care because big burly grumpy Russian was kicking ass and taking names all the while treating Blaire like she was the most precious thing in the world This is a mix of adventure and suspense romance that s paced so well I felt like I was watching a movie It never let up It wasn t perfect though like I mentioned the plot was bonkers and hard to follow at times but I who cares when the hero is a bearded giant dirty talker who is willing to die for his woman Her eyes found mine Why did you hit him I spoke the truth He doesn t love you the way I do Sigh Tropes Grumpy sunshineKidnapperForced Proximity 5 5 9798212956208
