I love looking at them, smelling them, reading them, carrying them, writing them.
I have an addiction. Someone help me.
I'll read anything from historical romance to fast action thrillers, gritty urban to fantasy.
When it comes to writing, I'm more of a romance gal. Expect admirable heroines, swoony gentlemen and some r-rated fun.

Hopefully we'll see more of these characters. I definitely would like to see Misha solve another high profile case with London and Shakira as her side kicks. The best scenes in this series are the women hanging out.It would be a great way to check in on the characters.

Great Ending
This was a very good ending to this series. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the added words in the book. Some were very misleading but I managed to decipher there meanings. Please keep the great stories coming

Saved The Best For Last
I have read and enjoyed the first two Hollis Brothers books. They had a darker tone so I was pleasantly surprised at how much lighter and sweeter Zeke’s story was. He is the gatekeeper for his family and their controlling mother has pinned her hopes on his compliance….Zeke’s job is to run the family company and marry an APPROPRIATE woman. London is a far from the right kind of woman as you can imagine….she checks all of the wrong boxes….high school drop out, criminal family, former pick pocket….are just a few of her accomplishments. However, nothing can halt their feelings or can it?? I loved this opposites story….

September 18, 2021Not believable at all
One tends to like these stories to be a little believable in them. just can’t see this happening to make one really want to believe it. I flipped through most of this because it just seemed so unrealistic, that London character no way would get with someone like Zeke, even in virtual reality, He was absolutely tight when he said he wouldn’t marry someone like her, that’s the only believable part in this book. I’ve read some really great stories with opposites attract but this was way over the top. I want my $3 back!

Masterpiece
Have you ever read a book in which the author made the possibility of a HEA near impossible for the main characters? At least in a way that would not involve some outrageous, hardly believable manner. Then the writer creates a way that is so sensible, you are impressed. Well Ms Verji did it with this book. I already love her writing style. But if I did not, this book would have won me over.

Highly recommended!
Zeke may have hidden his attraction to London but she did show him what he was missing. I don't like his mother, Edya. For her to think she would have an influence in his life was beyond me. It was a sign of a selfish woman. London may have come from a bad situation but she wanted to ride above that and succeed. I love her determination.

Loved the story
I really like this series. This was probably my favourite one followed by book one. I like how the issues in the relationships are resolved in a realistic way. It’s not always hunky dory but the relationships are strong enough to take it. Plus the hot stuff is sizzling

5 flaming hot stars!! London and Zeke were such an unlikely pair. And I think it’s a welcome change that the FMC is the adventurous tempting one in the relationship. Zeke always played it safe his entire life as the oldest son leading a business empire but he soon learns that nothing with London is safe.

The guy was really just an asshole with mummy issues. He's hands-down the worst and least likeable Hollis brother. Grown man acting like he's 5...

I Surrender!!!!
Ezekiel Landa-Hollis and London Pistol are opposites in every way,he is the oldest son of Edya Landa-Hollis and the CEO of a billion dollar hotel chain. Unlike his brothers,Zeke doesn't have the luxury of stepping out and following his passions,he has to make all the right moves to keep the family business on top,but when he finds himself in need of a band for one of his hotels,he goes to a woman who hates him,with good reason,in hopes of forgiveness. London is from the wrong side of the tracks,a runaway with little education but works hard for everything she has. Years ago she fancied herself in lust with her besties Brother in law,but after hearing him make a disparaging comment about her she turns cold and no matter how much he apologizes she keeps him at arms length. When Zeke offers a gig to London's band,she decides to let bygones be bygones and take the offer for the sake of her band. Soon after, lust rears its ugly head and they find themselves as friend w/benefits. What happens when love comes into play puts both London and Zeke in the position of having to make some hard and hurtful choices.
I really can't believe it's over! I love the Landa-Hollis Men. Zeke & London were so Hot and funny. OMG! I really could not stop laughing at some of the crazy things London had Zeke doing,but I loved every minute. Great series,short, hot and sweet. Loved it.

Best of 3
Zeke and London's story is by far the best of the Landa-Hollis storyline...Zeke is the oldest ....most conservative and the head of the family's empire...he has an image to uphold...London is a beautiful young lady...barely finished high school...performs in a band,and is a phone sex operator..and she's black....that would not over well in his world...so they decided to be friends with benefits.....with a pushy mother who wants Zeke to marry a woman with the proper pedigree and skin color...he went and did what he vowed he was never going to do...fall for London....it's funny and quirky with just the right amount of sexual encounters....they literally sexed each other brains out...until someone give in.

Loved the story of how this unlikely pair became a couple!
The book is funny light and breezy to read, it's very funny in parts and emotional in other parts. London has a fantastic overview of life which she imparts on Zeke. I loved their chemistry and want to see them start their marriage and family so Linda if you have another story up your sleeves for the Landa-Hollis brothers I know I as well as your other fans will read it!

4.5 Stars
Really good read. It was perfect. Feisty heroine...strong but conflicted alpha male..villainous parent...obsessed unrequited wanna be lover..steamy sex. All blended together to produce one satisfying book.

I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT LONDON HAD HER OWN BOOK! London is just a loveable goof who you would never want to get rid of hahaha she was the perfect person for no nonsense I-only-love-my-work Zeke. These two were definitely my favourite duo. Their dynamic just made me cheese so hard hahahah every time they interacted, it made me so happy. London brought mayhem and joy to zeke's life and I was so here for that. They deserved happiness and their love was explosive! Must read!
