Beautiful Russian Monster (A Vancouver Mafia Romance) by Odette Stone

 Her grandfather, a shipping tycoon, is missing, and Blaire is kidnapped by a frightful Russian man.  What else can go wrong?

Viktor has a mission, different than his former position in the Russian Mafia, but somewhat the same.  He needs to be stealthy and better than his opponent because there are no "ties" in this game.  

In order to save his tight friends, Viktor steals Blaire who is supposed to have the answers he needs.  If she can help him find her grandfather, he can save his friends.  Quite a mess of steps to get to the end of the maze.

Constant action, bad timing, luck, and ingenuity not only reveals clues to the end, but a bond between the captor and captured.  

Viktor has no use for a needy woman in the future and Blaire can't imagine this ruthless man as anyone who could have compassion.  Little by little, they work together to get what they want, which may include a first date...

Yea!  

Happy reading,

Dark Russian Angel (A Vancouver Mafia Romance) by Odette Stone

Which bad boy is a better bet on getting help?
Olivia needs help, but only bad men and no help is all around her after she witnesses a murder.
Under the Witness Protection Program, the police get cold feet as they are picked off one by one.  Maybe helping a stripper isn't enough of a payback for putting their lives on the line.
Andrusha has a problem with this.
As the leader of the Russian Mafia stationed in Vancouver, Andrusha couldn't be happier if Olivia lived to tell the truth in court against his rival.
As her safe house is again attacked, Andrusha steps in.
Getting to know each other wasn't part of the plan, but Olivia feels an attraction to the dangerous man who saved her.  Yet, his lifestyle scares her.
Andrusha likes to be in control of everything, including his women.  The fact that he got her a dog as a companion saved him in my eyes.  And he refuses to control her, but rather he digs in himself and finds a kinder, caring element of his personality he didn't know about.
An exciting and surprising read as I followed the unfolding of a man and woman's unconventional romance.

Happy reading,
Dawn
