Push Everyone knows what they need to about me. I’m a dangerous man with a dark and twisted soul. A killer. I’m in the business of power, and money flows through every corrupted vein in my body. They call me Push. I run the wicked streets of Washington D.C. I have everything I could possibly want, except one thing – Nadia. She’s like a delicious drug running through my sinister veins. I’ve wanted … wanted her ever since she was just a teenager. But I’ve held myself back, keeping my need for her hidden, even from her… especially from her. I’ve seen the fear that flashes in Nadia’s eyes when she looks at me, but she can’t hide the lust that accompanies it. Her energy is like a damn aphrodisiac. Now her life is in danger and she’s come to me for protection. I think we both know I’ll keep her alive, and keep her as my own, but she’ll not be safe, not from me.
Nadia
I don’t even know his real name. Everyone calls him Push, but he can’t push me around and I think he knows that. He’s a notoriously dangerous man, intimidating everyone he comes into contact with. He’s rugged, with dark eyes – eyes that frighten me, but light me aflame at the same time. In a way, I guess I can understand parts of him. My own father is corrupt and depraved, and my mother died so many years ago that all I have left are scattered images of her memory. The sole purpose I have is to fulfill my father’s hunger for money, corruption and power. I’m nothing but a pawn to him, when I should to be so much more than just a piece to move in his game. He gave me to Lucas Peterson, a man who matches my father’s ambition. Lucas is just as cruel, and maybe even more sinister. When my father is killed, it’s now that I realize the only person I can trust to protect me is the man I’ve kept at bay. Push.

An intense, dark, gritty & captivating ride to go on with Push and Nadia. I was hooked from the beginning, taken on an emotional journey, kept on my toes, and breathless by the end. Wow! Couldn’t get enough.
Well that book took a turn I didn’t expect. What a fun listen. This book starts off with tragedy and then goes from there with so much more heartbreak than you can imagine, but we do finally find a happy ending. So much happens and so much healing is needed and we see the perfect amount. Great writing and narration.
Terrific Story & Narration A Dark & Thrilling Ride!
Pushed
Capitol Corruption Series, Book 1
By: Linny Lawless
Narrated by: Rodney Falcon
Linny Lawless pens another mind-blowing novel. She takes you into the underworld, a world of danger filled with the dark and the twisted, corruption and crime, where power is key and play by their own rules. The characters are complex and well developed, some may say Push is a bad man but I found he was a good man and honorable one living in a bad world. Nadia, the daughter of a mob boss was handed over to power hungry Lucas Peterson, who thought marrying her would make him more powerful and maybe one day rule their kingdom. But that is not what her father had in mind when he gave her away. Push has had business dealings with her father and Nadia always captured his eye. He was not pleased with what Lucas doing or how he was treating Nadia. I loved learning more about Push, who he was and how he became the man he was. Also loved how how everything plays out in this book, the story is fast paced and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, some angst, thrilling twists and turns and suspense, as well as some heartfelt moments and hot romance and kink. Thank you Linny Lawless for another awesome and thrilling story, I loved where to took Push and Nadia’s story!!
I listened to the Audible edition, Rodney Falcon is a terrific narrator and voice artist. He does an awesome job portraying the characters, humanizing them with their own attitude and personality. You could hear how much heart he puts into his work as he captures and projects the characters emotions, their passion as well as the drama of the story into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
This dark, sexy, and twisted story was filled with lots of secrets and blood shed. An entertaining read!
Pushed by Linny Lawless is a mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Rodney Falcon. This is the first book in the Capitol Corruption Series.
I absolutely love Linny’s books! Warning the book does cover some dark topics within the Mafia world. You can’t help but root for Push and Nadia. I cannot wait for the second book in the series Cobalt to be released on audible so I can get Nolan and Gina’s love story.
Rodney did a great job on the narration. He always knows how to bring a story to life.

Pushed its a Dark Romance, Push and Nadia are made for each other. Nadia’s father gave her away to an evil man who hurt her sexually and physically every day. But her heart belongs to Push. He’s a serious Dom who has wanted Nadia since she was a teenager. Nadia had wanted Push from the second she saw him at a party at her father’s when she was 16. It’s a bit of a May – December thing going on and a bit BDSM thrown in. Push teaches Nadia how to find and explore her sexuality after she had to endure being raped and abused. He also helps her find answers to some troubling questions about her Mom and what happened to her.
It’s a good read that I couldn’t put down one I started the book. Thank you Linny Lawless for such an erotic read.
Push is a force of nature.
He went through hell growing up.
As soon as he laid eyes on Nadia, he knew that one day she would belong to him.
As with any mafia story, there will be bloodshed and lots of it.
This story blew me away.
4.5 stars
Oh my, this is the first book I have read by this author when she hasn’t co-wrote with anyone else and she is fantastic! I loved the from the start the chemistry between Nadia and Push. He comes from a broken, horribly bad past but he rescued himself then met a man who changed his life for the better. Nadia comes from a dark past also but she at least has a father but he isn’t loving in the least and only values her as a bargaining chip. Her father promises her to another powerful man leaving Push out but he doesn’t give up because Nadia has always belonged to him. Once he has her after being neglected and abused he vows never to let go again. She is thrust into a viscous and corrupt world where everyone knows the score but her, but she has Push to help her navigate the murky waters. Will she come out as innocent and pure as she went in or will the political oneupmanship taint her? I can’t wait for the next installment of this series!!
This is the second book by Linny Lawless and it floored me, again!!
Push is a dark, sexy alpha that runs the streets of Washington D.C. and he is feared by everyone except Nadia. Push has been drawn to her for years but she has been the forbidden fruit. Now she is in danger and he will do whatever it takes to protect her, no matter what!!
