Bound for You

Avery

I don’t have any family.
Everyone who was supposed to love me left.
Until he walked in on my shift.
He made my heart race and my body tingle.
I fell hard for him, and he became my world.
I was bound for him, but he wasn’t bound for me.
He grew distant, and then I found out he wasn’t who he said he was. His whole demeanor changed instantly.
He’s a killer, an underboss for the Bratva Pakhan that I didn’t even know existed outside of movies.
He didn’t give me a chance to come to terms with it. Instead, he threw me away, just like everyone else.
He broke me after I spent years putting myself back together.
I try to move on from him and concentrate on my upcoming residency.
But then I find out I’m pregnant with his child.

Sergi

She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen.
She was pure, not from our world, and had suffered a lot from life.
But I was selfish; my whole body tingled just being near her; she was mine.
Then I lose myself, push her away, and she finds out who I am.
She runs without looking back, destroying me.
I make mistakes I can’t take back and hurt her even more.
She gives up on us, on me.
But I can’t let her go; I can’t give up.
I will win her back, whether she likes it or not.
She’s bound for me.

This can be read as a standalone, it is book 3 of 3, bound mafia series, with a HEA. Due to mature content and themes this book is recommended for readers aged 18+, this novel may contain triggers.

Last of the Bound series.

Another strong heroine, another cheating H. At least this time he didn't cheat with one of her family members, but that's probably more because she's an orphan than any effort on his part.

So lot's of bad behavior on the parts of the H and some of his family members.

What did I love like: the bromance throughout the series of the Hs. It rang true and while each H screws up horribly in his own book, each one laid out the idiocy of the others in the other books if that makes sense. I also loved the heroines. Yes, they took horrible cheaters back, but they made them suffer first and are keeping the knives sharp in case there are future slip-ups so I feel good about the HEAs.

This one is slightly better…

Every single one of these guys cheated. I realize these are fictional characters but what the heck kind of men cheat on their women once they’ve realized they’re in love? I don’t understand this mentality at all.

Anyway, this is better than book 2. The previous guy was pure idiot and at least this guy wasn’t smexing his girl’s relative. However that crazy Mindy witch was still in the picture, and has successfully smexed all the men in this series. Pretty disgusting…

Avery, the FMC, is pretty amazing and I really liked her, but Sergi was just as dumb as the other guys. I found it to be unbelievable that these Mafia guys could be this stupid. So somewhat entertaining, but not believable.

KU read, fortunately.

Sergi never expected to find love, but when he sees Avery in the coffee shop working he knows she is his one. He does everything to gain her trust and he gets it, but Sergi has not told Avery who he truly is, the underboss of the Bratva Pakhan. Sergi's world explodes and all that sweet and loyal part of his character erupts and he starts pushing Avery away and does something he may never come back from.

Avery does not trust easily, she has been down a horrific road for years before being saved by the only two people who loved her. Her heart broke when she lost them and has not trusted anyone again, until Sergi. She thought he was her rock, but her betrays her and proves he is like all the rest. Even though he quickly realizes his mistakes and wants her back, Avery though is pregnant and has no plans to let Sergi back in but Sergi will do what he has to do win her back, can he?

This was a heart wrenching story. The cheating portion was when they were kind of split up so it did work for this story. A lot of groveling in this one. Great couple, terrific chemistry and a surprise new character who I was highly entertained by.

The first part of the book was amazing but then I don’t what happened? When did it suddenly turn ?
And what happened to let him act like a bitch suddenly everything was great. He was hurt and still loved her but then suddenly he started complaining about her drama. if someone is drunk he stays the truth, so why is he acting like a bitch and he knew that he fucked up and instead of making things right he made them worse .
Also, what is the point of the heroin telling everyone she sees about her past it is pathetic
There are too much coincidences to make it real. How did the professor know her after nearly 2 decades, and how did she know who is her biological father?
The whole book doesn’t make any sense I feel like it’s the first time for the writer to write

Bound for you: mafia romance ( bound mafia series book 3)

This is the first time, I read this authors books. She is great, I enjoyed reading all of her series. This last book was heartbreaking and exciting to read that included other characters from the previous novels. Hopefully this author will continue write more compelling novels.

This series has been like a pain in the tooth ... can't avoid touching it even though I know it will hurt. Atleast this guy was better than the other 2 shitheads! Still he couldn't stop cheating like the other 2 assholes. These people treat cheating very normally as if eating icecream or a cake when ur sad or hurt. Everyone is sad and mad about cheating but it's OK the poor guy was hurting so he decided to stick it in someone's ass . Let's forgive the poor hurting baby for cheating on the love of his life. And all the heroine's have been tortured to death so they think these guys are a better option than atleast dying. The MMC has a 360° change of nature when his cousin is in hospital. He goes from loving, caring and I love yous to treating her like whore, avoiding her and threatening her with her life and cheating on her all because he is in pain for his cousin. Then abruptly he changes after cheating to once again the loving and caring man and wants her back. It's as if he had a brain transplant or a split personality disorder.
Other problems I have with this author is repeating the meaning of some foreign words/ endearments every time the word is mentioned as if the reader is dumb enough to forget the meaning after 2 or 3 times and when it's being used no less than 50- 100 times it becomes irritating. For example sestra ( sister) and most funny 1 I thought Papa (dad) who in the world doesn't know the meaning of Papa???
Secondly there were so many repetitive words, phrases and paragraphs ( in males POV and female POV) that it became boring and I had to skim a lot. For example "furrowed/ ing his brows" growls, rasps . They keep on growling, rasping, furrowing like animals!

Amazing!!

This is the 3rd book in this fascinating series.
This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, angst, intrigue, challenges, humour, witty banter, loyalty, danger, suspense, romance, lies, betrayal, palpable chemistry, and love, which all leads to an entertaining, twisted, unpredictable, and heartfelt steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose I highly recommend.

Avery and Sergi

Sergi was my favorite through out the series and in his story was so much more going on. This had everything that angst, betrayal in every corner, OW drama (same chick throughout the series)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and series! I do wish there were more to the series and see them or their kids in the future. That being said...
Avery was such a good one that was most relatable. She's been through so much in her young life and she still was a good person. She deserved so much and Sergi was going to fix what he broke.

Emotional!

Loved the story line and seeing the final character get their HEA, but also extremely emotional trauma background that had me in tears. Many parts of the book provoke emotional responses.
Definitely worth the read.
I read book 2,1 then 3 (because I found book 2 story line first and was intrigued), which I actually think worked better overall even if it was out of order, but because the book 3 story line picked up where 1 finished and flowed with the events of 2 at the start.

I enjoyed this series and would have given it a 4 but the slut shaming got old. Women don't lose their value over having sex nor do they become loose. If that happens it is vaginal damage caused by birth and sometimes even rape. Those parts were not good with me. Sex does not make a female a bad person. Gold digging and chasing others mates do. It's really my only complaint so far in all her series. She tells a great story and all her books can be read as stand-alone.

DNF @ 42%
I’m not wild about these characters, I’m kind of bored due to reiterations of previous storylines and the focus on other characters, nothing too interesting has happened with the main storyline up to this point, and eye roll inducing moments when almost every woman looks down on the heroine because she is so beautiful and smart.

I was bummed because I really enjoy this author, but not being wild about only one of her books after reading so many of them is not a bad run.

The terrible writing completely overshadows the storyline potential.

There are so many misspellings, wrong words or common phrases used that it’s hard to stay focused on the story itself. And this is after the series has supposedly been re-edited. And I cannot stress enough how annoying the constant “smirks” and “sobs” throughout series is. Everyone does not smirk or sob at all times, certainly not if you’re an assassin or in the mafia.

No quise calificar los libros anteriores porque son tan malos que no quiero registro de ellos en mi goodreads pero decidí escribir esta reseña final para decir que no entiendo la doble moral y lo misógina de la autora. Los hombres que escriben cometen una serie de delitos, son malas personas y aún así quien sufre siempre son las mujeres. El final de esta historia donde mandan a Valerie a una isla para prisioneros por no superar el engaño de su marido es RIDÍCULO.

I really liked the story even though some parts irritated me. I really like Avery and was glad she had a backbone. Sergi learned absolutely NOTHING from what his friends went through.

The parts that irritated me were Avery not telling Sergi her past but other people. The crying, OMG the crying from everyone.

Overall I did enjoy this series.

I had high hopes for Sergi. Initially, he was kind and sweet, but then he lost control. Despite the circumstances, his handling of everything was like really poor. But, he was still better than Alexandr and Damian. Unfortunately, it seems like men in their family can’t avoid cheating and treating their women poorly.

hopefully there is another

I loved this book. You tied up some things ie Mindy etc . I volunteer to edit your books. I know I could do a better job. But anyway I would love another book or at least a short story to see where they all are in the future. I will definitely look for more books by you. Thank you.

Good job, author!

The writing style and the grammar are greatly improved in comparison with the first book. I'm glad I decided to read the whole series and didn't just stop at the first book. This one was my favorite out of the series

Great series!

I loved all three books and this was a perfect ending. The characters are great and I love how they are there for one another. This book was difficult to read at parts due to child abuse. Avery was such a strong character. Glad she found her HEA.

Really good series.

I love all the books in this series, but my favorite will be book one. My only issue is unlike book one the MFC didn't get her MMC to grovel as much, which was a pity. 5 🌟 from me.

Writing was too neat and simple.

Two words; What the.

Didn’t know getting whiplash from a book was possible.

They went from strangers to lovers to haters to friends to lovers real fast.

It was like watching a train wreck, you just can’t look away.

The cheating trope was so unnecessary.

🔥 Ending to a series

I like the way she tied everything together. I just didn’t understand why the all the characters were crying all the time. These are Made Men. Still a great story.

Trigger Warning

This author never gives you a heads up about possible things that could be upsetting to readers. Child abuse, pornography, sexual assault are all mentioned in this story. Spelling and grammar mistakes are careless. Needs to proofread.
