Rated 4 stars
I can’t even fathom the world this story is set in. Let alone the mind screwing this girl has gone through. So this book was on my outer rim of normal zone. A whole team of FBI Doms? …..Maybe but all openly? Too much. I assume there were previous books with all of these characters stories. So behind all the Dom and Sub stuff is a pretty normal story. Ha ha maybe I should say “ normal”. It’s your basic human trafficking, drug and mafia stuff.
Ok so let’s move on to the characters. Alicia has been brainwashed that she loved her Master. He just so happens to be in charge of the Mafia. Alicia was torn down to nothing (even though she didn’t realize it)being treated as worse than a slave.
There is a MI 5 agent from London who has this “sweet” Scottish brogue. Finlay! An alpha Dom as well! He and Alicia have a rocky relationship. She tried to killl him….twice but during his revenge of her he realized she wasn’t in her right mind. All part of her conditioning by her previous Master. Finlay took it upon himself to help her. He worked hard to build her emotionally and sexually.
What I like is the action and the determination of these characters. No matter what has happened they have a limit. Alicia refuses to be involved in human trafficking. I have to commend her for the fight she has in her. Finlay is pushed to his limits as well! in his job and in his mind as well as his body.
This is my first book by this author. The story was nice but as I said previously…way beyond my comfort zone. BDSM and dark romance/suspense are great for the right person. The author did a wonderful job on Alicia. I truly believed her and wondered how she survived.
Highlander by Julia Sykes Is a mind bending romantic thriller that will keep you turning pages after page. This is the story of Alicia, a woman brainwashed by a Russian mob boss to believe she was his slave and he was her Master, and Finlay, the MI5 agent that she tried to kill, twice. What starts out as a mission of revenge soon becomes something so much more when these two let themselves feel the obvious chemistry between them. With so much against them will they find their HEA? Will they be able to put their pasts behind them and move forward? This book can be read as a standalone as I did but as with many series these days they do intertwine with each other. So I’m definitely going back and reading the others. This story was well written and thought out for every detail. Once I got started I simply couldn’t put it down. The characters are complex and believable and it’s a story you clearly see playing out in your head. I’m giving this book a five star review and look forward to more by this author.
Highlander by Julia Sykes is book 10 in the impossible series. I have not read any other books and was never confused or lost. This can definitely be read as a stand alone. This is Alicia and Finlays story. I feel like I want to go back and read other books though because apparently there are other books with Alicia in them. Overall I liked the book and the writing. I’m not generally into erotica but I liked this one. I would definitely read others by this author and would read others in this series. 4 star rating.

5 Stars!!!!!
Once again I am so happy to have found a new author and a new series. I also once again have read this book out of succession from the series but I found that that didn’t matter. I found the book to be captivating and I was glued to it from page one.
The characters were refreshing and unique and I was absolutely grabbed by the subject matter of the book.
The whole chemistry between Alicia and Finlay is very hot. The whole drama under which they come together grips the reader and you cannot put the book down wanting to know just what will happen next. The very rocky start and the explosive ending along with the twists and turns in this book definitely have me wanting to read more from this author and series. I find myself getting lost in this book and wanting more.

Highlander was the first book I’ve read by this author, I was intrigued by the synopsis “a woman on the run… a man on the hunt… a forbidden attraction…” a recipe for a dangerous romance that can’t be put down. Highlander is the tenth book in a series, but read well as a stand alone. The story immediately grabbed my attention because there was danger and excitement from page one, there wasn’t a long build up before the story took off. I thought the story stayed engaging with enough twists and turns.I found myself enjoying the characters, I especially liked Alicia and her strength as she really focuses on her need to survive. Although I enjoyed this book without having read anything else by this author I would be curious to read more of the series and learn more about the characters.

This was the first book by this author for me and I really enjoyed it.
This book has it all! Love, heart break, mob, bdsm, and everything in between. It took me just a little bit to be sucked into this story but once that happened I had to finish as fast as my pages would allow.
The two main characters in this book had a very unconventional start but man did things change! I cant say who or what happens as it would ruin everything,but pick up a copy today and find out.
This story is about a mafia boss in Russia and one that runs New York and the one woman that tries to take them down with the help of an alpha Scotsman. Actually, the Scotsman wants to take her down first. Finlay and Alicia’s paths cross at the beginning of this story in London, although this is a series so these two may have met before this story starts. Alicia is trying to save herself and her Master from the police and Finlay trying to arrest her Master for all his wrong doings. Their path continues to the United States where Alicia is trying to get away from the mafia and Finlay is trying to track her down. When they finally find each other, they find more than they thought possible. Their sparks are surprising and hot to watch.
This story has doms and subs, people who opening talk about these lifestyle choices and all the people that love them. I liked the adventure of Finley tracking down “his little witch”. I liked this story about revenge, redemption and love. I liked the character of Finley, he is strong even with his secrets. And Alicia is strong even in her confusion and passion.
Personally, I love that there are many more books in this series. While this is book 10 (!) in this series, it is the first that I have read, I did not feel like I was missing the back story. I am really looking for to reading all of them.

The story Highlander by Julia Sykes is a suspenseful romance book that I enjoyed reading. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. The story begins strong and only gets better. It is a page-turner that will keep you wondering what is going to happen next. It is a story about revenge, obsession and desire. It also is a story about finding the strength to overcome the past even when it haunts your thoughts. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Alicia and Finley. They both find that they have a mutual desire and connection to one another. As the story progresses so does the relationship that has started between them. Will they find love and a happy ending together? I found Alicia’s character a strong woman to have survived all that she has. She is also a woman that is haunted by the past and you read how it invades her thoughts. Finley is a strong alpha-male character that protects those he cares about. This is what I would consider a dark romance story. It does have some very steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. An ever-present danger is always there as well. This story has many additional characters that you are introduced to. I enjoyed reading about them and the interactions/bantering that goes on between them. Don’t miss out on a well-written story with unforgettable characters.

This is my first book by this author and for sure will not be my last. Im seeing that this is the 10th book in this series and although I never felt lost I will go back and read the first part of this set just so that I can get the whole story of everyone.
This had a little bit of everything in it, from russian mob, to danger, revenge, to sex, and just a little bit of love, it moved into the BDSM aspect and it actually took a bit for me to get into the story and maybe it’s because I had not read any before this but by the end I was totally hooked.
The writing style was very smooth and easy to read and I will definitely be checking out what else this author has available even outside of this series.

Highlander is the tenth book in the Impossible series by Julia Sykes. I don’t know how I missed this author, but this is the first book I have read by Ms. Sykes. This book can be read as a stand alone as I had no trouble following the story. I will be going back and reading Ms. Sykes backlog because this book is just that good. This suspenseful romance had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The story flowed and the characters were true to life.
Alicia, was controlled by a Russian Mob Boss, who was also her Master. When Dimitri is killed, Alicia finds herself on the run from both the mob and the MI5 detective, Finley, who she shot trying to protect her master.
The story is full of twists and turns, that will having you thinking what is coming next? As Alicia and Finley find out more about each other, will they learn to trust? Will they be able to put old baggage behind them and concentrate on the chemistry between them? You need to get this book to find out. I highly recommend this book and it is definitely worth your time to read.
Highlander by Julia Skyes, is the 10th novel in this series but can be read as a standalone. I never have read the others in these series but they are now waiting on my kindle for me to do just that. The book itself was amazing and pulled me in. The sex scenes hot! Just enough violence to not be overboard! I want more and more from this author!
Alicia is on the run and trying to hide from the Russian mafia, her master is dead and he meant the world to her. But mostly, he was protecting her from those that want to hurt her, until they killed him and she lost everything he had given her. Finlay wants to find the girl who shot him while she was trying to protect her master, he want the revenge he feels he deserves. Almost right away sparks fly between Finlay and Alicia, even though this love is so forbidden. Finlay sees a girl that was broken and he wants to breal the damage that has been done all while trying to
Highlander by Julia Sykes is the tenth book in the Impossible series and is the conclusion to Alicia’s story. Throughout this series she has played a number of roles from victim, lover, a pure evil, but in this book you get to see the true person she should be.
He master is dead and she has run away from the Russian mafia and needs to hide away from them, so she decides to escape to New York and hides within the BDSM club. The only problem is its not just the mafia who is after her, Finlay has not really recovered from Alicia shooting him to protect her master but her is on the hunt from London in New York. He only has one goal, to seek revenge.
This story is a great wrap up to this saga and had me understanding the Alicia character from the bad ass villain to a woman on the edge of survival, the emotion between these two characters was great to read and although Finlay is a great alpha male character I loved this story which showcased him within the story.
I have read other stories by this author and some of the books within this series but although reading the other books in the series would be great, you can follow the story enough without having the background on these characters. I enjoyed the style of writing and I feel invested in the story from the first page. I would recommend this book and series to anyone who enjoys a dark romance with strong characters and loves a page turner.
Highlander By: Julia Sykes was a great read. The book and characters are ones you just want to know more about. I did not read the other books in this series, but really enjoyed this book and loved the characters and cant wait to go back and read the other books in this series. This author has a great writing style, and I will def continue to read this author and this story line. I give this book a solid 4 stars.
Highlander was a great dark 5 star read.
I was once again pulled in by Julia Sykes writing.
Alicia’s world was turned upside down when her Master was killed in Crusader and she is now on the run from the Mafia and Finlay.
Finlay is after Alicia, especially since she is the one who shot him.
Alicia is used to having her Master control her and without him she’s feeling lost. She is in survival mode. When Finlay finds Alicia there seems to be some intense connection between them. And as Finlay learns more about Alicia his original plans get a little complicated. Will Alicia be able to put her trust in Finlay? Will Finlay be able to protect Alicia?
I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. There is action, suspense, BDSM and some very dark scenes. If you like dark than you will like this book and series. As I read more from this series the more I get drawn in. All of the characters added a great element to the story. Right now I think Alicia and Finlay are my favorites so far. The books can be read as stand alone however I feel you will connect better with the characters if you start from the beginning.

Highlander by Julia Sykes is the tenth installment of he Impossible Series. Although part of a series, this story can be read as a standalone. I do suggest to read the series in order to learn more about the main character of the story. It is a suspenseful romance full of heat and forbidden love. This is the story of Alicia, she was the slave of a Russian mob boss, Dimitri, which is now dead. She is now on the lam from Finley, an MI5 agent after she shot him defending Dimitri and she will do whatever it takes to avoid getting caught by Finley. Alicia ends up in NY and starts working at a BDSM club while she hides from Finley. He finally catches up to Alicia, but instead of doing away with her, there is an forbidden attraction between the two. Alicia has been through a lot of pain and mentally abused while being a sex slave. Will Finley overlook his hatred for Alicia and fall in love with her? There are plenty of twist and turns in this story to keep you on he edge of your seat. This is not my first read by Julia Sykes, her writing is seamless and full of raw passion. I recommend this book to those who really enjoy reading BDSM.
Highlander by Julia Sykes is the tenth book in the Ultimate series. It could be read as a stand alone but I would recommend reading the entire series which I plan on doing to get the background. I have a feeling there are lots of things I missed.
Alicia has been through so much over the last seven years, but she hasn’t lost her fight. She is truly the hero in this story.
Finley is a Dom in the most alpha way possible. Little does he know how important his dominance is.
There were some pretty hot moments, but there were a few things I felt were too far but that didn’t detract from the story for me. Just a personal preference. Just keep an open mind when reading.
Alicia Camden was the slave of Dimitri Abramovich who was the head of the Russian Mafia. Alicia feels like demitri really did care for her and probably did care a small amount about her. But at the end of the day, she was just his slave. He has broken her and now he owns her. Until, he got killed. Now she’s on the run from the Russian Mafia. Dimitri’s right hand man Roman is stepping up to run the mafia but he needs Alicia to complete that. She runs to NY and is working the BDSM clubs passing Bliss in exchange for Peter keeping her safe. No one expected the M15 agent she shot in London to travel across the pond to find her. Finlay recovered and within a few months and he went on his own
to NY looking for his witch aka Alicia.
Alicia thought Bliss was used to protect Subs from doms but there’s a much bigger picture she had no idea what was happening. Now she feels like it’s her job to save a these girls.
This book has a lot of twists you didn’t see coming. When Finlay finds Alicia, will he bring her in or will he help her get to the bottom of everything. I thought this book was action packed from the middle to end and was greatly written
This is a new author for me and I enjoyed how she was able to pull me in right from the start. This story is about wanting revenge, finding courage and forgiveness. This story took me on some twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what will happen next. Alicia is my favorite, she is so destroyed by what has happened to her but yet she has this side of her that surprised me some. I was not disappointed by this story and I don’t think you will be either.
Highlander, by Julia Sykes, is the tenth book in the Impossible series. This is a romantic suspense that will take the reader on a full speed chase with a mix of characters with less than caring intents against the heroine of the story. I admired Alicia’s character throughout the story, as she is such a multi-faceted character – truly shows how one person can be more. The author didn’t a fantastic job in her character development. The cat and mouse chase within the story was fun, suspenseful and finely written. The cast of characters in this story are fun. I haven’t read any other stories in this series, but after reading Highlander, I want to go back and read the others to learn more about some of the secondary characters in this story.
Highlander (Impossible #10) by Julia Sykes. This is a new to me author and also a new series to me. This is the tenth book in the Impossible Series. While I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, my expectations were met with flying colors. This book had everything that I love to read: romance, suspense and really hot sex scenes. I can not wait to go back and start this series from the beginning.
