Perfect Monster is a dark and captivating story with interesting characters。 When Cassie witnesses something she shouldn't have she ends up in danger Roman is determined to protect her。 I like the way the author brought these two together and how perfect they are for each other。 The writing is well done and the story is paced with danger， violence， drama， passion， intrigue， and unexpected twists that made this a page turner。 I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book。 Perfect Monster is a dark and captivating story with interesting characters。 When Cassie witnesses something she shouldn't have she ends up in danger Roman is determined to protect her。 I like the way the author brought these two together and how perfect they are for each other。 The writing is well done and the story is paced with danger， violence， drama， passion， intrigue， and unexpected twists that made this a page turner。 I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book。 。。。more

Good story。 Suspence， intriguing and lots of turnes。 Story started out with controlling everything and everyone， but when you take too many chances by yourself the results are not good。 The person you need the most is right beside you。

This book was wicked good！ Roman and Cassie are both vulnerable in their own way and together they make a great couple。 Letting Cassie into his life is out of character for Roman， but he just can’t get her off his mind and she needs his protection。 Cassie has her own inner demons but with Roman’s help she may be able to slay them。 Steamy， violent， romantic， mafia story with a happily ever ending。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

I hated it。 It was a vile， disgusting， and twisted mess。 That was beyond a dark novel。 That was RAPE and physical abuse no matter how you try to disguise it as love。 I don’t read dark novels but since it was BB I dint think it would be that bad。 Boy was I wrong。 I learned my lesson if it says dark novel I’m going to take the author at his it her word。 I need to go read a romantic comedy to scrub my mind of what I just read。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily lea I hated it。 It was a vile， disgusting， and twisted mess。 That was beyond a dark novel。 That was RAPE and physical abuse no matter how you try to disguise it as love。 I don’t read dark novels but since it was BB I dint think it would be that bad。 Boy was I wrong。 I learned my lesson if it says dark novel I’m going to take the author at his it her word。 I need to go read a romantic comedy to scrub my mind of what I just read。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Loved this story This is a quick read with lots of action。 There’s lots of”romance“ if you know what I mean。 I love the chemistry between Cassie and Roman。 The only downside is this stand-alone novel ends pretty abruptly。 There is more to the story， but not in this book。 There is an extended epilogue that I have downloaded。 I haven’t had a chance to read it yet。 The follow up is not out yet。 I read all of this author’s books， so I’ll catch up soon。 I was just surprised。

Roman & Cassie’s Steamy Chemistry Is Set Against A Bloody Battle For Revenge。 It Will Pull You Into A Power Struggle Of Epic Proportions。 Roman Is A Cold-Blooded Killer， Detached From Humanity; Cassie Is Reclusive。 Both Are Shaped By A Tragic Event But Find Compassion In One Another。 ABOUT THIS NEW SERIES:The world’s most exclusive club includes some of the most feared men and women on earth。 They are the oligarchs。 The mafias， the cartels， the bratva – you name it – they all bow to the likes of Roman & Cassie’s Steamy Chemistry Is Set Against A Bloody Battle For Revenge。 It Will Pull You Into A Power Struggle Of Epic Proportions。 Roman Is A Cold-Blooded Killer， Detached From Humanity; Cassie Is Reclusive。 Both Are Shaped By A Tragic Event But Find Compassion In One Another。 ABOUT THIS NEW SERIES:The world’s most exclusive club includes some of the most feared men and women on earth。 They are the oligarchs。 The mafias， the cartels， the bratva – you name it – they all bow to the likes of them。 The oligarchs are drowning in wealth。 That in combination with the boredom that plagues them has led to a corrupted view of the value of human life。 As a result， they have evolved such that now they operate like gods on earth。 Their money buys them whatever they want。 So far removed from society-imposed consequences， all that is left to hold them in check is the high-powered game that they play amongst themselves。 Like puppet masters， the oligarchs use the various criminal underground groups to orchestrate their desired outcomes。 They enjoy the back and forth and the power struggle that results from their interferences。 It is a zero-sum game。 You take a little here and there， upsetting the balance of power。 But they have rules， too。 Importantly， oligarchs aren’t allowed to make a direct move against one another; that is what their proxies are for。 They can align themselves with the Irish mafia， for instance， to indirectly attack another oligarch via the bratva he helps fund， but only as long as it doesn’t create too much chaos。 They must be measured （which is of course a relative term）。 No oligarch can assume too much power without the others eventually deciding to restore the balance。 Thus the game goes， repeating the cycle， but it always balances out in the end because there are rules that the members abide by， expectations they understand of one another。 There are consequences if they step out of line。 While they might fight with guns via their proxies， that isn’t how business is conducted with one another。 They require a different set of skills to operate amongst their peers。 Politics， alliances， and the ability to sway opinions are how they win the game from within。 A direct attack on another oligarch， however， will provoke a bloody reaction from the group。 Stepping that far out of line， upsetting the balance of power， is not tolerated。 If an oligarch continues the course， causing too much chaos， sooner or later the other players – the other oligarchs – will decide to act against you。 IN THIS BOOK:Cassie Ward， about twenty-one， left her father’s Boston home and moved to Sea Isle， New Jersey three years ago。 Sea Isle was a fresh start for her， a chance for a quiet life。 She bicycles around town and works at various bars to support herself。 She hasn’t seriously considered dating since then。 Her best friend， co-worker， and neighbor – Winter – encourages her to get out there and have some fun， but she doesn’t know anything about the incident。 The car phobia， the scar， the words that damaged her self-esteem … Cassie keeps those things close to the vest。 Roman Lenkov， thirty-eight， belongs to the world’s most exclusive club: the oligarchs。 He assumed his position of leadership when his father was gunned down at his cousin’s wedding three years ago。 Oisin MacKenna， head of the MacKennas， an Irish mafia organization that is moving into the South， killed his father， and Roman won’t rest until he gets revenge。 Darren Servant， another oligarch， is backing up the MacKennas， hiding Oisin and making Roman’s efforts fruitless。 But Roman has a plan。 It will be messy， but it doesn’t matter anymore。 Roman won’t just roll over and allow the assassination to go unpunished。 Revenge will be his， even if Roman’s father was a monster。When Cassie works a party full of powerful and dangerous men， an accident turns the ire of one such man against her。 Another man， whose powerful presence seems to command the entire room， comes to her rescue。 But Cassie’s troubles don’t end there。 When she becomes a witness to a crime， a target is on her back。 Her knight in shining armor， Roman， comes to her rescue again， promising to keep her safe。 But as things begin to unravel， Cassie soon finds herself whisked away into Roman’s dark and dangerous world。 Roman is a monster， no doubt about it。 There is blood on his hands。 His callousness is chilling。 He wants to use her， and she doesn’t really have a choice。 The past that she spent years trying to forget comes back to haunt her， but she finds comfort and support unexpectedly in her captor。 She finally agrees to help him in his quest for revenge， and though she finds herself captivated by him， she looks forward to returning to Sea Isle when all is said and done。 The couple eventually earns a happy for now ending， but the series is clearly unfinished。 The danger remains。 It appears Winter’s story will follow （probably with Erick）。Roman and Cassie’s story is a mafia romance with a twist。 The oligarchs rule just like the gods from Mount Olympus。 There are multiple players and a lot going on; it takes some concentration to follow but it keeps you in suspense。 The story feels timely， as so many of the heads of companies and uber-wealthy these days seem to be unashamedly assuming power and using it to push their influence in new and different ways。Roman and Cassie’s steamy chemistry is set against a bloody battle for revenge。 It will pull you into a power struggle of epic proportions。 Roman is a cold-blooded killer， but there is another side to him as well。 He and Cassie both suffered from a tragic event that shaped their lives。 They were both victims of their horrible fathers。 They both pulled back from life， yet in different ways。 Roman became detached from humanity; Cassie became reclusive。 Together， they find compassion and understanding， which helps to bridge the divide of mistrust。 As for my review， I read the ARC but also the original published version。 There seems to have been a mistake because the published version was also an ARC （and said so）。 I would imagine that error has been corrected by now。 The ARC version had a number of errors， and it admitted that fact， and I can only assume that a corrected version was published in an update。 The story is plot-driven。 It is complex。 It is written in first person。 The POV alternates between Roman and Cassie， with two chapters in Winter’s POV and two in Erick’s POV。 I rate this book four stars （assuming the final version is cleaned up）。I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
