If you're not already hooked on this series, L is For Larceny will tie you up and keep you invested all the way to a jaw-dropping ending that I guarantee will rock your world on its foundation!!

The book kicks off right where the last book's cliffhanger left us. You're immediately re-immersed in the world of Victoria Bristol and her five gangsters.

After A is For Arson blew up Victoria's world, the continuing saga sees her on the run with her five gorgeous, tatted, and admittedly dangerous men.. yes ma'am this story just keeps getting better and better.

Unforseen dangers and new characters ramp up both the intrigue and the uneasy feeling you'll get while wondering what's next for Victoria, Rich, Az, Leighton, Joey, and Craig.

Authors Zoe Dunn and CM Bowan are quite adept at grabbing and keeping your attention precisely where they want it!

The banter between the guys flows naturally, and the chemistry each one has with Victoria is undeniable. You will find yourself truly invested in the outcome of their story... and the sex? Buckle up, PopTarts, you have no idea what you're in for!

What a cliffhanger!!

Please tell me that the next in the series will be out tomorrow because I can't cope with that ending. Rich is my favourite Horseman. Victoria needs her daddy.

This book had me in a chokehold. If you read the previous book you were already on the edge of your seat. These characters will have you in all the feels! The twists and turns these authors take you on will have you holding your breath one minute and then have you trying to calm your breathing in the next. These characters and all their banter is glorious! They all fight hard and love even harder. This one will have you clutching your invisible pearls but also a box of tissues….and it’s totally worth it.

L is for Larceny.. I have to say that both authors did not disappoint when it came to giving me everything that I wanted out of this book and more!
If you have not started the series go check out A is for Arson!
If you love a good dark mafia romance this series is definitely for you! There were several times that I found myself giggling and laughing out loud while reading which was definitely a first for me. Long story short you will not be disappointed! Check it out now and you will find yourself falling in love with these characters!

L Is For Larceny finds Victoria and the Horsemen locked in a deadly waltz fighting to survive. They have managed to narrowly escape the ending up in the hands of the Jackals and the vile Rinaldo Mirano. And Victoria, she's left grappling with all the haunting images of what she'd done.

Victoria runs and seeks asylum in the secluded haven of Leighton's family cabin. There, Victoria finds herself drawn deeper into the world of the Horsemen. But, as she starts to slowly unravel their mysteries that surround her bodyguards who have turned into so much more including her lovers, she finds that a traitor is in their midst and is threatening to shatter the fragile peace they've managed to find.

Soon, Victoria and the Horsemen find that alliances are being tested and their loyalties are questioned. Together, Victoria and the Horsemen have to maneuver the landscape of deception and depict that uncovers a truth behind all the sinister forces that are out to destroy them. Their enemies are out there, playing a very dangerous game, but what their enemies don't know is that the horsemen are playing to win.

If you haven't started this series, then I don't know what you're waiting for. L is For Larceny is going to hook you from the first page and it is going to keep you invested all the way to the end with breath taking, jaw-dropping events that will leave you wondering what you just read and that ending, it's going to rock your world.

This book will pick up right where A is For Arson left off and man that cliffhanger in the last book is brutal. And let me tell you as soon as you pick up this book you are re-immersed in the world of the Horsemen and Victoria Bristol and you are going to be so happy to be back with the six of them.

A Is For Arson left Victoria's world in shambles and L Is For Larceny picks up the saga and finds her on the run with her 5 bodyguards, even though she knows that they are dangerous men of their own accord. And yes, this story, and I am going to guess that this series is just going to keep getting better and better as Zoe keeps writing it.

We find Victoria and The Horsemen facing new dangers, and we get to meet new characters who ramp up. This ups the intrigue and so many uneasy feelings that you are going to start to wonder what's actually going to happen next to Victoria, Rich, Az, Leighton, Joey, and Craig

I have to admit that authors Zoe Dunn and CM Bowan are so good at not only grabbing your attention but also keeping your attention and that's exactly where they want it and they know what they are doing.

I love the banter between Victoria and the five guys so perfectly, and it's just natural. And the perfect chemistry. And each one of the guys has their own chemistry and banter with Victoria it is not only undeniable and perfect.

You're going to love this book, and you are going to find that you are even more invested in this series after reading this book, and you are going to want to know that outcome of this story. And the spice? Buckle up, buttercup. It's going to be one heck of a roller-coaster, and you don't know what you're in for.

OMG, I need the next in the series now, what a cliffhanger!!!

This second book sees the men and Victoria having to leave the city and re-group after the attack on the mansion. Rich is not in a good way and needs treatment, will he survive from his wounds?

They set themselves up in a remote cabin arranged by Leighton's sister on his behalf. There the men take stock of what's happened, what has been compromised, and hopefully a plan once Rich has healed.

The men all have to deal with their feelings for Victoria while there. She is becoming something very special to all of them. Well, all of them if Rich would get his head out of his arse! Leighton sees the biggest change. Something he never thought possible. Our loveable Psycho starts to feel what other people do but has he blown his chance with Victoria or will his past give her an insight of why he is who he is?

The men eventually return to the city to reclaim their turf, but nothing runs smoothly for them, at every turn there is a setback, and the men have to respond. Putting out small fires until they all come together into another epic battle. Is this the time the Horsemen fall and leave Victoria to the mercy of her assailants?

L is for Larceny is the second book in the Horsemen series and cannot be read as a standalone. It picks up right where the first book left us at with Rich being all shot up and the five needing a safe harbor to rest and recover. The majority of this book covers the six of them holed up in a cabin together. There is a lot of challenges that come from living in small quarters for these six, the least of which are the feelings Victoria and four of the Horsemen have for each other. As feelings are worked through singularly, sexual tension rises. The spice is rather heavy in L is for Larceny and Victoria finds out more about herself as a sexual being at the hands of the horsemen. There is a MASSIVE cliffhanger at the end if the book that absolutely destroys you as a person, but also makes you wonder how in the heck they are going to get out of the mess they find themselves in.

I received an advanced copy of L is for Larceny in lieu of my honest review of the book.

Just how much more are we supposed to take???? Book 2 in The Horsemen series is so freakin intense! It's gritty, dramatic, chaotic and totally consuming! It picks up where A Is For Arson left off and holy hades does it ever take over everything until the final page. This book completely took over everything! I couldn't stop reading once I started it. These characters are fantastic and I love Victoria! She's absolutely fierce and her men will stop at nothing to protect her. It ends on a cliffhanger (that's mind-blowing) and if the next book is anything like this one we're in for one heckuva ride!

That's not how a why choose is supposed to go.

This one got a little repetitive being in constant hiding. The spice was there, and there was more relationship development between the guys. Loved Leighton's crazy comments.

Victoria, Rich, Craig, Joey, Leighton, and Az BARELY escape the Jackals, and for a minute, you feel as if they are safe and will have their Happily Ever After. Then you remember this is book 2 in a 4 book series. Victoria is finally admitting she's into the guys whether she likes it or not. But I will warn you, the tension I felt in A is for Arson and carried over and doubled down on in L is for Larceny. Prepare your heart and mind!!

The Hxrsemxn Series:

This was a continuation of Victoria and her gorgeous horsemen Leighton, Craig, Joey, Rich, and Az, they continue with the game playing dark and dangerous mafia men, when Rich gets shot and Rinaldo is dead Az quickly grabs Victoria before she hit the ground he put her in his car he jumped in his car and had taken her home. This series had been really good it sucked me in straight away this is one wild ride and I hope the next book is just as good.

I devoured this book so fast! The second installment of the Horseman series is just as hold on to your seat as the first. I thought it couldn’t live up to the intensity of the first book, and boy was I amazed that the story got even better! Dropped right where we left off, Victoria and her men are trying to stabilize Rich. That cliffhanger has its noose on me! That can’t be. Absolutely cannot wait to get to the third book cause I need more!!

OMG 😱 Great story. It was a page turner and the suspense was so intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. The chemistry between them was captivating and the physical tension was incredible resilience with desire of passion as they couldn’t fight the temptation anymore in this moment. With the chaos and danger as of right now.

I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed.

L for Larcney doesn't disappoint. The Rollercoaster of emotions keeps you right on the edge of your seat. I couldn't put my book down. The development of the relationship and feelings each character has is quite beautiful. It's a great mix of spicy, funny and action packed. It definitely keeps you guess and never let's you down. It's a must read and one I will definitely be reading again. I can't wait to see what kind of chaos, adventure and pure lust comes next!

𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔~

I am so mad right now! What the h** kind of cliffhanger was that!!! I was prepared for something but NOT that. This one was intense and I love the interaction that they guys each have with Victoria. There are so many question left unanswered. There were parts of the book that are slow we do see more smexy time in this one and also some relationship growth. The last part of the book will have you one the edge of your seat.

L is for Larceny by @author.zoedunn and @author_cmbowen

Okay, I think I'm fully stocked with everything I'll need for this crazy and chaotic book! 🤣🤣 This is book 2 in the @hxrsemxn series and just like book 1, there is all kinds of goofiness as well as nonstop action and amazing spice 🥵🥵

That ending though... Just be prepared for heartbreak and the mother of all cliffhangers!!!

I'm so sad that i finished reading this book and don't have another on to jump right into. I started this series on a whim from an Amazon deal day AND BOY WAS I SUPRISED to love this series as much as I do. The fact that this book only has 28 ratings right now IS CRIMINAL. This book deserves all the hype. Such an underrated read!

One word of advice is that if you’re wanting to read this book first don’t you do have to read them in order. I devoured this story and I’m biting my nails waiting for the next to come out!

The emotional rollercoaster of this book and how you fall for each man Victoria has. Each relationship is different and some of the men are more stubborn than most. Leighton finding himself and understanding feelings was written beautifully….The end really gets you in a chokehold.

"I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I wish more than anything I could take it all back. That we could start over at the beginning, and I could do it right. I need you to know that. I might have been a better man with you if we'd had the chance. If I'd given us the chance. But I'm serious, don't you pick me, Baby."

I'm sitting here at 2 am. crying because I could not put this down. The twist and turns just when I thought I figured out who was betraying them, it switched. I'm not sure how to go about the rest of my day now.the cliffhanger has me in tears!!!
