I knew Noah Abramovich was trouble the first time our eyes locked. I was sixteen that summer. Sitting by the pool eating an ice-cream I can still remember how it melted over my fingers and dripped onto my thighs as I stared back at him. It wasn't just his Greek god looks, the animalistic Alpha attitude, or his tall, powerful muscled body - it was the aura around him that screamed, Don't fuck with me.
At sixteen I wanted him with the passion of a woman, but mine was a world of unwritten rules. Rules that are worth more than a man's life. I didn't need anyone to tell me that he was everything I could not have.
He never looked at me again, but I watched him from afar. I could tell there were deep secrets that kept his smile hidden. Dark and mysterious he seemed to fear no one, not even my father. A man he should have. One I feared greatly. As the years passed, the afternoon when time stilled became as unreal as a dream.
I am twenty-two now and in six months I will be married to a man my father chose. I will do my duty and bring respectability to my father's dynasty, but before I give myself to that man, I must have a taste of the forbidden. Just one night with the man of my darkest fantasies, so I don't lie on my deathbed, and regret that I never reached out and took the one thing I wanted most in life.
But what if it's everything I imagined and more.
What if one taste is not enough?
Noah.
In the Mafia world, your past is never far behind. If you are careless, it seeps into your future and gets you killed. Just when I had fooled myself into believing I'd stepped away from it all, it suddenly appeared in my office.
Tasha Evanoff: She is what original sin must have looked like. Blonde, beautiful, voluptuous, and with secretive sapphire eyes that see right into my tainted soul.
She comes offering one bite of the red apple.
If I had any sense I'd shut the door on her, and send her back to her father, a psychopath of the highest degree. But that's not who I am. If the pretty princess has the courage to walk into the lion's den, I'm sure as fuck not going to pass on a challenge. I'll take one bite of her apple. Why the fuck wouldn't I? I've been lusting after it for years. I will spread her wide and ravage her delicate flesh. I will leave her aching and sore and ruin her for any other man. She naively thinks everything will go back to what it was before, but I know what she doesn't. You can never have just one night of raw passion. The body will always crave more. She'll be back and I'll play it cool. But who am I fooling, I'm never letting go...

This was very underwhelming...which is unfortunate, as you can really tell that Le Carre did her due diligence in the "research shit about Russia, Russian food, Russia mafia tattoos and Nice" department.
The problem was she wanted to share it ALL with us, meaning this thing read like a travel guide with some sex scenes thrown in there.
Add to that the fact that the actual book ended at 35% and, well...meh, which is a shame because it was a promising dirty read and I really liked how it started off.

Noah Abramovich knows what he wants, and what he wants is sexy Tasha Evanoff. They’ve known each other for years and Tasha has always stirred a fire in him unlike any other woman. There has always been a powerful attraction between them but Tasha is only to “look, but don’t touch”. He’s stunned when she offers herself to him for one night in order to taste the forbidden fruit and satisfy her dark, sexual desires before she gives herself to the man her strict father has forced her to marry…Resistance is no longer an option!
Despite the fabulous interaction between the hero and the heroine, there is also a ton of emotion. Noah is everything a woman could want: handsome, sexy and dedicated to Tasha with all his heart.
The author has written a hot and delicious love story, with one very brave woman who decides to defy her strict and dangerous father and fight for her life and the man she loves, and the man who loves her enough to risk his life for.
This is a scorching hot book, full of sexual tension, angst and action. Just enough detail throughout however my one complaint is the ending... I wanted just a tad more but still this book is a quick sexy read!!

*** 3.5 Stars!!! ***
This is the third book in the Russian Don series, and truthfully it wasn’t my favourite. This one features Noah who is the guy who worked for our hero in the first two books. Noah no longer works for his friend but now owns a bunch of his own restaurants etc.. The woman whom he is attracted too is the daughter of a mafia king.
This instalment was a little boring at times. The writing was fabulous, but I thought the author spent too much time describing food, and the country the couple visited.She does such an articulate job of it, but it became a bit much after awhile. I still love this author, I just prefer her stories to focus more on the love and sex aspect rather than what the characters are eating! Lol!

4.5 "love that never dies" stars *sigh*
When a precious mafia Princess,
enters Noah Abramovich's office asking him to have a one night of dirty sex without limits with her,
The Princess wants to be a slut for one night.
before she's given away to marry a man she neither wants or love, the emotions deep buried and shoved in the darkened soul, start to awake
and things just can't stay at that one single night of limitless liberating passion.
She is yours only tonight
The sinner and the sage, the good into bad, night into day, death into life, and back again
They never expected to open a sealed treasure chest on the already destined path to love, as they undeniably fall for each other, or maybe deep in side they just knew...but never had the chance to acknowledge it...until now...and when every possible odd is against them...
I promise you'll be mine, or I'll die fucking trying.
Noah is prepared for war, to fight for her till his last breath...and he's sending a message loud and clear...
Tasha Evanoff belongs to me, and I will kill every man that is sent to come between us.
BUT things are not that simple, as pulling a trigger, threats are even more dangerous as Tasha is faced with the cruelty and psychosis from her own father...and she is pushed til the ultimate limits of her inner humanity and compassion.
And she would be the hurricane rising within cause when the thin line of compassion is broken and the lives of the ones she loves are at stake, she would make it to the point of no return...to fight for her right to withstand, right to love, to defened and fight for the man she loves...to sacrifice everything...for the notion or even a glimpse of what would expand to be the love of epic proportions...
“I'd burn everything I own down to the ground for you.“
„I've burnt everything I own to the ground for you.“
What I love in Georgia'a books is always the limitless love expanding from the characters and you feel it in their words, described emotional turmoils, and then Georgia leaps another step further and takes you with her characters on a „5 senses“ journey – every visual is presented as alive painting, every sound authentic to the described surroundings, the food is delivered to you with every single little segment of content that gives you the vivid image, almost as real to taste, and as she takes you around the world, you've seen places you might never visit in real life BUT in her books you always have a glimpse of a paradise on earth...so, thank you for that.
I enjoyed in yet another everlasting love on so many levels and pealed layers of joy, content and completion.
Can't wait to read more of the new hunk presented in the story JAck Irish!
my God, where am I gonna put all these men I happen to be collecting LOL but still...I am keeping them ALL

Received this book as an ARC, first time that I have read anything by Georgia Le Carre. So going in wasn't sure what I would think about it and after an afternoon totally immersed in this book have to say, I truly enjoyed it.
A Mafia princess being raised by a controlling father and her loving grandmother, she is expected to marry a man she does not love. A deal made by her father to benefit both men. A night of rebellion, she has one last fling with a man she has always desired.
We watch our heroine go from timid and loving daughter to a strong and determined woman.
Events happen that change her perspective on life and she takes control of her future.
Recommend this book to over 18, there are some very intense violent and sexual scenes.
Kudos to Ms. Le Carre, a 4.5 star read!!

I swear every book I read from this author is sexier and more intriguing then the last.
Darn, let me tell you this one is shower inducing go find your significant other freaking HOT!
Ok there is a plot too and it sure gets twisty and interesting.
Tasha turned out to be someone I didn't think she would be and I was happy with the outcome. She took what she wanted and found away to keep it. She turned out to be one tough cookie and she did it without her man! Impressive!
Noah is his hot self and isn't going to stop at one night. Oh and a peek at Zane to tie it all. Oh and Shane and Crystal Jake. I am interested in this new character Irish Jack....
Enjoy a great action packed, short, hot, sexy read!

“You think you have had one taste of carnal pleasure and now you can walk away and never look back? You have only awakened the demon desire.”
Oh, Noah, Noah, Noah.
I’ve waited for Noah’s story and now here it is. He was such an enigma that his character alone makes you want to read more of him.
Tasha is arranged to be married to Lord Oliver Jarsdale. But before she gave herself completely to a man she doesn't love nor like, she wanted a night of pleasure with a man she wanted for so long.
Noah had wanted Tasha ever since she laid eyes on her and now that she had seek him, the one thing he ever did desire in his life, he can't back anymore.
“Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
I love Tasha. She was such a sweet innocent soul that always sees the good in people. Noah is just Noah. The dark and the light. Both are complex characters and endearing.
I always love how Georgia Le Carre writes. The flow and her ability to captivate me. One thing I also looked forward to were the songs attached in each chapter, on how she capture each emotion and moment of each chapter and how the song she choose added to the emotion and overall effect of the story.
Oh, and there's the bonus story at the end! My beloved Jake!! Can't wait for what's in store next!!!
“How come you’re more beautiful every time I see you?”

To anyone who considers themselves a connoisseur of the Mafia genre, empty your mind of every aspect you consider the "norm". This Mafia story is so different than anything I've read. Completely. Utterly. Blew me away, however. Without question.
Tasha, is a very proper, sheltered Mafia princess. Her father is a ruthless, greatly feared Mafia boss. Although Tasha's mother is British, their household is completely Russian. Living an extremely decadent life with her father and grandmother in London, she is forced to marry a titled gentleman. Although her family has tons of money and power, they do not have the respect of the upper crust of society because of how their money is earned. Enters Noah, a Russian mob boss, from the wrong side of the tracks. What a friggin clusterf*ck of everything forbidden, dangerous,and deadly! Remember how you felt with your very first love and how you were so very careless, reckless, and blind to everything except that feeling you got when you were with your first love? Now imagine the consequences you suffered when your parents "caught you" in one of your escapades. Multiply those consequences by a million and you have Tasha's life after she naïvely declared her intentions to her papa. She assumed he loved her and wanted her to be happy. Yeah things escalate from sugar to sh*t in a blink of an eye!
I absolutely love this story! Tasha and Noah's story is worth every second spent with them. Their story is very dramatic so prepare yourself! At times I jumped so much I felt as if I needed a sedative! I did not want this story to end. I will read it again and again and again!
Five gazillion stars! You Don't Know Me is a phenomenal read!

Georgia had blown me out of the water with this book! You Don't Know Me is a spinn off of You Don't Own Me. This book features Tasha and Noah. Noah has wanted Tasha since he first laid his eyes on herwhen she was sixteen. When she offers herself to him years later he cannot deny her. Tasha had been in love with him but is meant to marry another. She sees him as her way out of it all.
I honestly couldn't put this book down. Georgia's books always blow me away and I'm excited to read book 2!

4.5 stars. I Loved Noah and Tasha. Long crush on each other that Tasha finally decides she's doing something about it.
It was only supposed to be one wild passionate night. Thinking it would get him off of her mind. How wrong for the both of them.
I love how Tasha stood up and went after what she wanted.
Of course there's some heartache but I Loved the Mafia aspect, the love, danger, anger and happiness that was in this book

Bad boy meets mafia princess
This is Noah's story who was from the You Don't Own Me books. Noah was Zane's assistant and Dahlia's bodyguard. Noah and Tasha have known each other for years and both have been attracted to the other since then. Tasha is supposed to get married to a man that her mafia boss father her to marry and she wants to know what it would be like to be with Noah just for one night before she settles down.
I've only read a few of Ms. Le Carre's books but the sex scenes in this one, like the others, was very hot. I also noticed that the brown leather jacket that Noah gives to Tasha is probably the same jacket that Dahlia buys him in the first You Don't Own Me book. After she gets the jacket from her friend I don't think out is mentioned again and I notice that her friend is not mentioned again either, which I was sad about.

*****5 I want my own Noah Stars*****
Ms. Le Carre knows how to write bad boy mafia stories and this reader had no chance of resisting Noah Abramovich! When pretty princess Tasha walks into his office and says she wants just one night with him before her father marries her off, who is Noah to turn that down? But is one night enough? This story takes the reader on a roller coaster that you never want to get off and deposits you into a world of violence, arranged marriages, steamy, combustible sex, exotic travels, love, hate, fear, and long awaited revenge.
There is not just one epilogue, but two epilogues, the last 50 years later, and Tasha and Noah are still so cute and feisty together! The first epilogue is the birth of their baby, Sergei.
"He's so small. Is this normal?" he asks worriedly.
"Excuse me. Try pushing him out of your c**k then tell me he's small," I retort.
You Don't Know Me is just another masterpiece written by the talented Georgia Le Carre!

What a great love story of Tasha & Noah . I loved this book and it was nice to see a familiar character show up in this book ❤️ . It was a great story especially the ending .
March 15, 2019
A well researched book with regards to the details of Russia, but the actual romance part was more about the sex than any sort of relationship. Not really up to this authors usual excellent standard IMO. Plus it was way too short, and felt rushed.
August 9, 2016
"Your sins, every one of them, they never leave you, no matter how far you run, or how long you live."
The Russian Mafia is a law unto itself, it's claws never fully releasing their grasp for those born into the life and those that choose to join their ranks. Noah, brother at arms to Zane from the first two books in this series, has longed for the Russian Mafia Princess to adorn his bed since he noticed her at sixteen. A few years later and she walks through his door to offer herself to him and he isn't strong enough to say no to his fantasy. Yet the reality is so much more than he dreamed possible, one night is never enough but he knows he is declaring war if he pursues another man's wife to be, promised as part of a business deal...
Tasha, although shielded from the darker side of her father's nature, is aware of the danger that lurks close to the surface. Promised to another she decides to taste the forbidden just once before she becomes a transaction, a prize in a bigger game. Keeping her powerful father happy she has always towed the line until she craves the ultimate sin..a man not deemed worthy of her by her father. Not caring that she is running a risk she begins a secret love affair with the man that stole her heart but her luck soon runs out. With her father baying for blood and Noah desperate to keep the woman he has declared as his own who will survive in the cut throat world of the Russian Mafia?
You Don't Know Me is a stand alone read in this series but why you wouldn't want to read the others is beyond me! It is a steamy, passionate read that weaves together an air of danger, recklessness and passion that pits a young couple against a reptilian man who truly has no soul. Power and greed corrupt and it heart breaking when Tasha realises she really has never known the true face of the man that is her father. A sinister and blood drenched world is made more welcoming by the strong alpha male that is Noah and I loved how it connected to other favourite characters of mine, I am intrigued to see what happens next. Tasha I have to admit surprised me and I think I ended up crushing on her just a little bit, she has an inner strength that shines bright when needed. This cements my belief that Georgia Le Carre is an amazingly talented story teller; she spins stories that are rich in imagery, characters that you fall in love with or hate with equal passion, and the romance, passion and steam factor is pitched perfectly to balance the plotline. Another fantastic read from this author, one click away you won't be disappointed.
A five star I want a bad boy too read.

This cements my belief that Georgia Le Carre is an amazingly talented story teller; she spins stories that are rich in imagery, characters that you fall in love with or hate with equal passion, and the romance, passion and steam factor is pitched perfectly to balance the plotline. Another fantastic read from this author, one click away you won't be disappointed.
A five star I want a bad boy too read.

Noah Abramovich is a former mobster. Tasha Evanoff is a mafia princess. While they basically exist in the same crime riddled world, they come from very different sides of it. And because Tasha’s father wants her to advance to royalty in that world, he has her betrothed to a creep much like himself, rather than Noah who Tasha secretly desires.
“The Princess wants to be a slut for one night. And the person she has chosen is me. I lean back in my chair and let my eyes roll all over her. Well, well, well. All that untouchable beauty just laid out for me to soil and dishonor.”
This is a tale of forbidden love in the mafia world after one night isn’t enough, and the pair must decide if their attraction to each other is worth taking the deadly risks. The opening scene was intriguing and perked my interest in the characters as we’re introduced to the pristine, sheltered girl propositioning the bad boy for a risky exchange. Unfortunately, I never quite felt they developed far enough from those stereotypes. Tasha really was naïve it seemed when it came to the dangerous, chauvinistic world around her, although she does get a rude awakening that empowers her to finally revolt. And Noah, well while we’re told Noah is a bad ass, it still felt like more tell than show. Noah certainly had potential, but I just craved a little more. Then again, I have not read the previous books that Noah appeared in so perhaps that makes a difference.
Told via Tasha and Noah’s alternating first person point of view, the pair engages in some dirty stolen moments.
“I commit to memory the dirty image of Tasha, no longer a Princess, but horny, slutty, her leg cocked over my dick, and out-of-control sexy.”
Most romance readers will enjoy the steam factor in this one. I have to admit though, I was totally spoiled by Georgia LeCarre’s novel, Masquerade—one of the best, dirty talking alpha hero I’ve possibly encountered so the, ah, pillow talk in this one didn’t come off nearly as smooth or fitting.
All in all, it’s an okay story. No major issues but nothing original either. It’s fairly similar to some other mafia romance-adventure reads. This is pretty light on the suspense and minimally dark. I will warn though, if you are a reader that has issues with animal abuse, you might want to sit this one out as it could be a trigger for some readers. Otherwise, the story is safe and thankfully the OM drama is minimal which keeps the romance plot on track.

Hot Mafia Romance
A Romeo and Juliette romance within the Russian Mafia world.
Tasha is the daughter of a mafia boss, promised to marry like a business transaction.
Noah is also Russian but no longer part of the business or family.
Both have had an attraction but never professed it or acted on it until Tasha decides to have one last night for herself before she enters a loveless marriage to a cruel man and secretly without her ruthless father knowing visits Noah.
One night wasn't enough for Noah and the fight for love begins.
You don't know me is a hot passionate story filled with suspence an alpha male and topped with a sprinkling of danger.
I would of prefered a build up to how both characters know each other, previous encounters etc, instead the plot jumps straight into their first hot night together.
Told in dual pov's you get the whole experience of the thoughts and feelings of both characters.
I didn't understand the Gypsy characters or why they were involved in this book as I haven't read all the Gypsy heroes series? , a brief encounter yes but not as much as there was at the end of the book, I don’t like it when one series mingles with another and your expected to know who the characters are, it spoils the current book as a standalone.
A great mafia read with a steady plot and a great love story leading to a hea.

I read this as a stand alone and it was perfect. I never felt like I was missing anything. Wow let me start off by saying I love mafia books and don't read enough of them. This book was definitely one that itched the spot. Noah is the overpowering alpha male that is perfect in every bad boy way. He will fight for what he wants and what will be his. He doesn't care if it takes his last breath Tasha will be his in the end. Tasha wants to live her life the way she wants for once, even if it's just got one night. At least that's the plan but after one extremely passionate night, will they be able to walk away from everything g they've always wanted? Will Tasha be able to stand up to her dangerous and over barring father? Will she let Noah fight for her even if the risk is high? Let me tell you this book has it all. I want to go read the first two books but don't let it deter you because this book was amazing all by itself.

5 Noah stars
I really needed my Georgia fix, after so many DNF this week when Georgia send me copy of Noah and Tasha story i was on seven heaven. I didn't expect to like Noah so much but he did stole my heart with his alpha and dominant way but in the same time loving and caring for Tasha and Tasha was perfect heroine, she is strong but in the same time fragile. The story plot is interesting and fast -paced so you are always on edge and Georgia writting is perfection like always, I always say she have magic ways when I start reading i can't stop until last page.And that fun bonus story with Jack and Lilly in the end is just amazing bonus, i was very happy to read it because I missed my Jack Eden fix.All in all another amazing book from G.
Highly recommend

Well Georgia it`s another 5 stars from me, and another one to put in my top 10. I loved this book from start to finish and as always it`s a fast moving erotic love story. Iv`e said it before and i`ll say it again Georgia`s writing style is unique she never fails to deliver a book that will hold your interest till the very end. The story of Noah and Tasha and there formidable relationship and there fight to survive her monstrous father had me enthralled to say the least, as i`m sure it will you. This Russian Mafia series has been amazing so well written and edited, here`s hoping there`s lots more to come. I was given this ARC to read for an honest and unbiased review.

This is my first read by Georgia Le Carre and I definitely will be reading more from this author. Ms. Le Carre has that little something that lets her readers know that she loves to write. She pulls you into the story and keeps you captive until the very end and even then you are wanting more.
You Don't Know Me is beautifully written with characters who can't help but love (or hate). It's gritty, intense, addictive, raw, emotional, captivating, steamy, suspenseful, and action packed, with an awesome mix of emotions, extreme attraction, deceit, corruption, turmoil, violence, and love.

QueenZany 4.5 Star Review
You Don't Know Me
by Georgia Le Carre
“You Don't Know Me” is simply a scotching panty melting Russian mafia book!
Filled with hot chemistry, and a couple that were never destined to be. Which only makes us yearn for them to be together.
Plus the sizzle is off the everloving charts. Scorching!!!!
Mix in a train load of baggage and crazy as hell twist at every turn. Hey I just devoured it!

An other interesting story by GLC!!
I liked it a lot!! It's like a Romeo & Juliet mob romance...Tasha and Noah love each other, but her father, a cruel mob boss, is against their love because he thinks the guy is beneath her and constricts her to marry a pervert mean lord.
Poor Tasha has to take the most difficult decision of her life in order to protect the lives of the people she loves most, but also to get her own life back.

Mafia princess Tasha wants to have one night with Noah before she is forced into a marriage for an alliance for her father. The only problem is one night is not enough for either of them. Tasha learns things with her father are not as they seem. A story filled with passion, following your heart, love, and ruthless mafia bosses.
