Lindsay
Unconventional had always been my brand.
I didn’t fit into my family’s mold. I didn’t have the usual college track.
I made my own way.
But I had my sights set on my future.
Then, I met him.
Suddenly, I didn’t know what I wanted. I didn’t recognize my world.
Everything was more dangerous than I ever could have imagined. What was more important, my plans or him?
Would I live long enough to find out?
Brazen is a stand-alone novel that comes with a healthy dose of steam and a guaranteed HEA.

Great short mafia romance. This story, well written, had it all: fast-paced, action packed with drama, suspense and a beautiful HEA. Both characters are strong and they share an indeniable chemistry. I loved Gabriel and Lindsay’s story. I enjoyed my reading. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Fast, easy read about Gabriel and Lindsay. She’s a struggling artist, in Chicago, who is working as a receptionist waiting for her “big break”. He’s from the mafia in NY working in Chicago, to uncover information on someone who is encroaching on the NY family’s territory. It turns out he lives across the hall from her and they work in the same building. He doesn’t have any family and her family wants her to be an office drone but Gabriel and Lindsay just click. There is action and adventure. It’s fast and easy without leaving any holes. I was wondering how they were going to end up but it was a very suitable HEA. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
An exciting, fast paced, action packed, well written short drama romance. Lindsay works for a Security Company in downtown Chicago. Gabriel has a job to do for the Bianchi Family and goes to Chicago snooping around for information on a rival mafia family that Lindsay works for. They end up neighbors and their chemistry and connection is on before he goes to work at the security company she works at as they start a fling that starts the beginning of one steamy romance. Things get tricky as they face challenges that might break them apart. An amazing unpredictable storyline that has twist and turns, some glitches and obstacles, ups and downs with danger, intrigue and suspense captivating me from the start.

4 stars
this light read was a different twist on a mafia story.
gabriel was sent to Chicago to get info on a rival trying to make waves in new york and the mafia family he worked for needed it.
on arrival, he met his neighbour Lindsey the artist and also worked for the man he was there to get info on.
they start a casual affair and when things take a turn Gabriel has to decide if his loyalty is for the family or his girl.
Not my favorite of Ava Bloom’s book but was well written and thought out. Lindsey did not know what her boss was and Gabriel wasn’t what he seemed. Life has a way of throwing a curveball that gives a home run.

ONE INCREDIBLE READ!!!
Man, Ava nailed this bad boy. This is one exciting, fast paced, action packed, hard hitting, pulse racing, heart pounding, nailbiting, page turning, thrilling rollercoaster ride. Talk about unpredictable. All the twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few glitches here and there make for one enjoyable experience. You get all the drama, suspense and danger around every corner that captivates from the start. The characters and their personalities are unique with qualities and traits that balance out perfectly. The two main characters have a solid connection and explosive chemistry. With danger stalking the two and death knocking, all you want to do is put your head between your legs. The scenes are so descriptive and detailed its easy picturing each scenario as it plays off one another beautifully. Ava did a magnificent job bringing this read to life. Fantastic job Ava, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
