Gluttony: A Genetically Modified, Fated Mate Romance (The Deadly Seven Book 5)by Lana Pecherczyk is an awesome story to read. This is book number five in this awesome series that I have loved reading. I highly recommend this story to everyone .
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Tony has struggled with his sin of gluttony, especially with his alter ego as an actor. He is constantly surrounded by those who are gluttonous, from drugs & alcohol to drinking water too fast. Bailey’s past was one that, from the outside, looked as if it was an amazing life, however she was surrounded by tragedy.
I love Tony & Bailey! These two are adorable, and their buildup is so hot! Tony has some great growth in this story.
I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend this series!
PERFECT SUPERHERO ROMANCE STORY FOR THIS LONG-TIME COMIC FAN
The opening might throw off readers for a moment. It’s Tony in his movie character. Aside from that distraction – this book is perfect.
Tony has long been so charismatic he has been impossible to not love, and so broken, impossible to love. You want to eat all of him, yet doing so leaves you feeling so full you hate yourself. A constant situation Tony lives in – surrounded by celebrity excess, both loving and hating it and himself.
Then a threat emerges against his secret identity and the studio insists he gets a bodyguard. Overkill for the superhero, but necessary if he wants to continue the acting he loves so much. Bailey Haze isn’t just any bodyguard though; the ex-fed comes with her own problems, many related to dealing with addicts. But his opposite number – Abstinence to his Gluttony, makes Tony’s genetic programming draw them together.
In the background is the stalker, the Syndicate, and … a mobile sentient plant?
Oh joy!!! Ms. Pecherczyk goes all in with the Superhero Romance Genre with a purely absurd villain of the story. …. Only the plant as absurd as Toad in the X-Man movie (hopping and killing people, freaked me out after seeing him usually portrayed as a loser in the comics) and Gorilla Grodd when he is influencing Gorilla City (trust me, the mind control aspect are chilling when written right).
Each encounter with the plant just gets better and better. This whole story is Superhero Romance at its best!
This is a great series and Tony’s story didn’t disappoint! I would recommend this series 100% to anyone who enjoys supernatural adventure romance! This series is very well developed and thought out.
Addiction comes in many forms as our hero knows and fights against every day. Maybe our heroine can help him win the battle once and for all.
This is book five in the series and it works pretty well as a standalone. I did miss out on a lot of the previous family dynamics, but I had no problems keeping up with the main storyline. That being said, I look forward to going back and filling in the gaps.
This is a paranormal action story with a slow burn romance and lots of action. The story has a strong superhero/mutant vibe to it, which is rather intriguing. The story is well written and easy to read with lots of action that keeps the story moving. Both the characters and setting are well developed with lots of details that bring the scenes to life and help pull the reader into the story. I really enjoyed our hero and heroine and how their relationship evolved over time. Overall, it was a very fun read and I look forward to future installments.
Highly recommended.

Tony seems to have everything one could possibly want in life. But as in most things looks are deceiving. Bailey is ex cia and is his life mate. But she can’t stand him. They realize only that only the deep bond of love and family can help someone from the throes of their heat and embedded sins and make them stronger. They embark on an interesting and exciting adventure as the power of gluttony emerges and Tony fights internal and external intrigue with Bailey at his side.

Tony’s excess landed him in hot water-personally and professionally. It was his struggles to stay afloat that I found admirable and made me more empathetic to him.
Bailey…she was a class by herself! I loved her. She was funny, snarky, and just easy to like. She also fought demons like Tony, giving her personal insight into his battles.
Gluttony was a wickedly fun, yet emotional read. I loved getting a glimpse of the Deadly Seven. The action sequences were also very well done! But the romance. It was a long time coming and I was thrilled with the end results!
Tony is a movie star along with being Gluttony, one of the Deadly Seven. When he ends up with a stalker, the movie studio insists that he gets a bodyguard. Of course, Tony doesn’t need a bodyguard, but he can’t tell them that. So he hires Bailey, who works with Max, to be his bodyguard. She also happens to be his mate and the one person that can balance his sin of Gluttony.
Meanwhile a plant monster that was created by the Syndicate has escaped and is heading toward the city. Daisy, Tony’s sister Despair, is after it and when she encounters Tony and Bailey insists on them helping her to kill it.
I really liked this story. I loved Tony and getting to see what’s going on with Despair. And I really liked Bailey too. She was perfect for Tony; and since she used to be in the CIA, she could not only take care of herself, but be there for him too. This is a must read for fans of the Deadly Seven. It will definitely leave you not wanting to wait for the next book in the series.
I was given an ARC of this book, but am voluntarily giving my honest review.
Another great addition to the series. This is the fifth book and they keep getting better! Tony is a good guy but he doesn’t really know it. He needs Bailey as they bring out the best in each other.She has issues at first but then when she and Tony get together it was sweet and wonderful! The characters were developed and and pull you into the story’s! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
I’m all over the place with excitement after reading Gluttony.
First of all, I loved Bailey and Tony <3 I knew there was going to be some tension and pushing away since Tony left a bad first impression with Bailey when they first meet in Sloath (Book 4) but it was fun and kept me on my toes around these two until they finally clear the so-thick-you-can-cut-it-with-a-knife tension between them.
Tony was a beautiful contradiction and I loved each layer of his complex character. Bailey was such a powerful female lead, she might not have the power of the DS but she can definitely hold her own. She's ex-CIA so yeah, a total save's her own butt type of heroine 🙂
This latest installment is just as packed with sinister plots and danger involving the crazed Syndicate as the others in the series (seriously this latest monster gave me the heebie-jeebies!) But we also get more of Daisy - who lets face it has me more and more convinced that there is still hope for her yet. Her inner struggle is heart breaking and I need her to feel something other than despair, loneliness and isolation. She is quickly becoming my favorite character! On a side note: A slow painful death for Julius would be too nice. This guy is a total villian and I can't wait for the Deadly Seven Karma to pay him a long overdue visit.
Even though the on-going plot is quickly picking up steam, Gluttony also had a lot of sweet banter between Bailey and Tony *fans self* and also between Tony and Liza (who I'm also dying to read more about!) We also get to see Sloan all happy and glowing with Max, preggars Misha and the rest of the gang. Parker and his sexy man bun also get more page time. Basically there's a lot of sweet, funny, blushing interactions between the siblings and their mates in this one and I'm fan-girling over all of them.
I freakin love this series and can't wait for the next one. Highly recommend reading this and the rest of the series!

So creative and different!
This is such a unique and creative series, and the books just keep getting better and better. I wasn’t sure about Tony earlier on, but I loved his story.
Very well written, great plotting, action and suspense packed, some drama, humor, and it all adds up to a book you can’t put down!
Overall rating: 5
This in depth look into Tony’s life is filled with edge of your seat action. This author unwrapped the main characters soul in layers, keeping the reader guessing as to whether or not he would succeed. But this book is more than just gluttony. Family members are endangered, as well as Daisy’s fate is still questionable. Each book is a stand-alone, but reading even one will still lead to having to read the rest happily. An easy recommend. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
I guess I’m a glutton for punishment because I finished this one within a few hours of starting it and now I have to wait (im)patiently for the next one!
Tony has finally gotten his own book and I’m so relieved that things have finally turned around for him! Though he has managed to get past his addiction there is still the emptiness that gnaws away at him. And it doesn’t help that most people, including his family, don’t see beyond the carefree mask that he puts up. When a stalker starts targeting him, he gets a new bodyguard who is also his mate!
Too bad that Bailey Haze doesn’t seem to care about his appeal or flirtations. In fact, she doesn’t want anything do with him! Or does she?
Tony was a hoot in this one and I loved getting to know the man beneath the carefree mask! It really irritated me at first when noone seemed to even expect much from him. It’s like they were just setting him up to fail, but I guess I can understand that after all the time that he’s spent pretending to not care, they just don’t want to be disappointed again!
“No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop them from cutting him. The sad thing was, she’d been right. He knew noting. He was a smile on a face and a dick on legs. A monkey who danced to someone else’s beat.”
But, I’m so glad that Tony got a chance to show himself in this one! The character development was amazing and so was his relationship with Bailey! I loved how they brought out the best in each other! At the beginning they didn’t have much beyond their attraction to each other, but slowly a relationship based on trust and mutual admiration began to develop! Bailey doesn’t really like Tony at first and doesn’t expect much from him just like everyone else. But, slowly as Tony sheds his layers she sees him for the man he really is.
She slid her arm over his front, hooked her leg over his, pressed her lips onto his hot neck, right beneath his ear, and whispered, “I see you Tony Lazarus. I see the real you, and I’m not going anywhere.”
And I loved those scenes with the kids at the sobriety house! Also, it was great that there wasn’t too much drama or angst about the Deadly Seven identity thing with Bailey. She quickly figures it out and helps Tony gain control of his powers! Plus, on top of everything we’ve got a mutant killer plant on the loose and the Syndicate coming up with more disgusting plans! There’s also Despair, the lost Lazarus sibling, who is slowly beginning to question the motivations of the Syndicate, but is also unsure of leaving them!
As always I loved the familial relationships of the Lazarus brood! They’re quick to judge and annoy each other at times, but they’re also unfailingly loyal and always there for each other!
“You realize what this means, don’t you?”
“What?”
“You’re an actual star.”
Liza’s book is next and we already know who is her mate after reading Gluttony, so I’m super excited for this! I can’t wait to see how her mate might be the embodiment of the opposite of her sin(which is lust) and how the author takes it from there!
A Perfect Blend of Action and Sin!
“Gluttony” is the fifth book in “The Deadly Seven” Series and is Tony’s story. Lana has done it again with Gluttony. The thrills, chills, and action takes your breath away when added to this amazingly exciting storyline that has Tony detoxing and no longer living his sin. Gluttony shows another dimension to the Deadly Seven as Tony deals with a stalker, overzealous women, his true mate and a failed experiment from the syndicate. All in a day’s work for the Deadly Seven. Gluttony is the perfect blend of drama, action, and suspense mixed in with Tony’s brand of humor, his imperfections, and fears. Gluttony may just be my second favorite yet and I highly recommend this series.

I first started reading this author when I read “Sloth” and immediate fell in love with this crazy family. They are flawed, very alpha, with savior complexes a mile wide but they are a functional dysfunctional family that once you are part of them you are theirs forever.
To everyone Tony Lazarus seems to have it all, good looks, fame, easy women, money and a supportive family. They don’t see the insecurities that plague him that maybe he’s really not good enough to be a part of the Deadly Sins. He used whatever means alcohol, drugs, women anything that would help him silence that inner pain. Now that he is facing his demons, he finds himself the target of a stalker. Since the world doesn’t know of his super powers he has to have a bodyguard for appearance sake.
Of course the one woman that made him start really looking at himself ends up being the one to guard him Bailey. Unfortunately for him Bailey things he’s lower that a slugs belly and has no respect for him. For the first time Tony has to actually work at getting a woman to like him and he’s out of his element. Faith must also have a warped sense of humor because as it turns out Bailey is his life-mate.
Bailey is a strong woman and is capable of taking care of herself and her clients. She has demons of her own that she’s trying to stuff back in the bottle while trying to deal with Tony’s secrets and find out who the stalker is.
This author’s characters while on the surface may appear shallow as you dig deeper you find out there is a lot more going on besides their super powers. They are usually dealing with real world problems like PTSD, addiction and depression. I also love that she lets her female characters take charge of their own sexuality. There is no name-calling or derogatory words that her female characters call themselves if they are aroused by their men, I love when an author empowers her female characters like that.
There is snark, some over the top behavior, a few mad scientist moments, family drama, family love, lots of steam and the reality of struggling with an addiction everyday.
