The Underground #3
Guard
Haley Sullivan has been through hell and back. Mistaken for homeless, she was snatched off the street by the Russian Mafia and injected with an unknown substance for two weeks. Confused and scared out of her mind, she manages to get her hands on a gun and shoots randomly at a group of men, hoping to escape.
With Mikhail Dudko has followed two Russian idiots who work for the Mafia after a strange ransom exchange. After a shootout that leaves the two mobsters dead—along with the owner of the house—he’s shocked to find the initial shooter to be a frightened, drugged, redheaded woman who takes his breath away in an instant.
But Haley’s saga has just begun. The Russian Mafia wants her back. And Mikhail finds himself glued to her side twenty-four-seven in an effort to protect her. As he falls harder for her every day, he realizes she’s everything he could ever ask for in a woman: gorgeous, kindhearted, and…submissive.
Haley has a lot to work through. The last thing she needs is a man breathing down her back night and day. An enormous man who fights mixed martial arts for an underground Mafia ring and spends the rest of his time bossing her around in a way that makes her heart beat rapidly and her toes curl under just looking at him.
Has she changed? Or did she always have a latent need to be dominated in her blood?

Haley Sullivan spent the day like any other, helping the homeless but she never expected to be kidnapped. Haley doesn't know what she had been injected with for the last two weeks, but when she gets a chance to escape she does and finds herself being protected by Mikhail Dudko.
Mikhail is an MMA fighter in an underground ring run by the mafia. Mikhail has grown fond of Haley, he is drawn to her and when the pent up tension gets to be too much, he makes a move. Haley never thought she would be willing to experience such sexual satisfaction as a submissive, but everything she experiences with Mikhail feels right. Mikhail vows to protect her, she is quickly becoming the most precious thing in his life.
Intriguing story. I liked the build up between Haley and Mikhail, it is not instantly and even when they begin to explore their feelings it was like a slow burn. The whole angle with Haley and what happened to her during her kidnapping is fascinating. Another great read from Becca Jameson.

This is the third book in the Underground series. This is a DBSM story which to be honest is not really my choice of reading material. I have to admit I was able to overlook that type of sexual scenes. This story was more in-depth on what Anton is up to. We found out how some of the FBI are in his employ and why he is doing these experiments.
Mikhail is a Dom who has rescued Haley for Anton's clutches. Haley is a social worker who works with the homeless who are disappearing from the streets to end up dead. We learn there maybe more to the reason behind these abductions. Why is Anton in such a sweat to get an answer? Will Haley's friend Belinda drag he into her quest to report what is going on? Will Belinda and Nik be the next to be dragged into this situation?
I am looking forward to the next book in the series. This series sucks you in and makes you hold your breathe until you get to read the next book. I would give this story and series a higher rank, but 5 is the highest the stars go. "I voluntarily and have honestly reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book."

Omg🔥
So far Mikhail is the most dominant of the bunch witching timeline of Dmitry, Leo and Him. Although Leo comes close and maybe it was just more explored with Haley and Mikhail. Since she needed more comfort and control handling the kidnapping and drugging. I really liked this story. Still building on the nefarious actions of Yenin but still allowing some story plot crest and completion to each book without giving away the final score. Their relationship goes through ups and downs and push and pull to their new dynamic and you see her blossom as a sub and gain her confidence back after all she has been through. But you also see how much she means to him and how much he would do to protect her. Can’t wait for the next book.

It is amazingly intense and the author prepares you for the journey for you to take alongside the characters really well. The characters and story development were perfectly done. This book was extremely well written and has fast become one of my favourites of all time. This book was full of many twists and turns that will keep you guessing what is going to happen until the very end. I devoured it in one sitting. Incredible work!! I absolutely adored reading this book and will be one clicking the rest of this authors work.

This is such a great intriguing series! I can't wait to find out what's really going on with the fighters and now Haley. The relationship between Haley and Mikhail is great. Can't wait for the next book in this series!

WOW This series just gets better and better! Haley's trying to move on from what happened to her and Mikhail won't leave her side. The attraction is there on both sides but will she accept Mikhail's dominant side. He seems to think she will and turns out to be right. As the heat between them gets hotter so does the intensity of the Russian Mob to get her again. Turns out her blood work is as strange as the fighters but what happens when her friend inadvertently gets involved?
This books starts give the readers more hints to the secrets touched on in the 1st 2 books and has you going OMG with those hints! And the heat has you needing a fan to cool you down. This is an awesome story and the characters are great! Can't wait to find out what happens next!

Another good read, this one takes the Anton Yenin bad-guy-ness to another level. It also, coincidentally, may have ruined hummus for me. Forever.
I love that Becca makes sure to cover how a real woman would feel. Haley is no different: after her abduction and medical testing, it's gotta throw a girl for a loop to find out that she's submissive. And I doubly-love that Haley comes back to that repeatedly. Haley doesn't just accept it. No, she continually questions whether it's just the extreme circumstances that drive her to feel comforted by resident hot guy Mikhail. And he is hot.
On that front, Mikhail is another hot Russian fighter. I loved that he gave Haley time to accept him and really tried to think about her feelings. He pulls one douche move with her job and wardrobe (and it was bad enough for me to include here) and he's freaking clueless when it comes to his sister Elena. Even that is believable, though. What guy wants to believe his sweet sister is falling hard for one of his best friends?
Yenin keeps me reading this series, though. I wasn't so wrapped up in the Mikhail-Haley love story that I wasn't appreciative that Becca keeps Yenin front and center as a truly horrible guy who's testing on the homeless, his fighters, random people on the street, and (now) a hapless reporter. What a mess.
Can't wait for book 4! The threads should begin to come tog ether so we can see how Yenin meets his karmic end!

Hmm, Mikhail and Haley, what a pair
Well, we're up to book 3 and I have to say, we're getting better each time. Now I have to say the first love scene is always too long, but to find out you're a submissive after being kidnapped for 2 weeks and drugged is a lot for anyone to take.
Haley and Mikhail were thrown together when he saved her from Antons knucklehead henchmen and Dr, Christensen. Since that day, they've been inseparable. Mikhail recognized his possession of her from the start, Haley took a little while longer, but when they finally get together, they are hotter than hot.
Now, on a separate note, we're no closer to figuring out what the hell Anton is up to. We know it's in the 6 fighters blood, but we find that Haley has the same abilities too. In addition, since Haley invited her friend Belinda over for a girls night..she's now pulled into the this giant mess, but she can rest assure, Nikolav will watch out for her.
Great read..dying to see what the hell is going on in that lab and how Haley and the guys were chosen as Guinea pigs.

*fans self* Woo-eee, Mikhail & Haley's story is HOT. H O T. I'm loving this series A LOT, because along with the HOTness, we also have a very awesome, well-plotted story that spans the whole series. This author is doing an amazing job of making this feel like one story broken up into different parts, each part focusing on a different couple of the group of Russian fighters. Sometimes in an overall story kind of series, you can lose track of what happened in previous stories, but I'm happy to say that hasn't happened with this one, and it makes me extremely happy! I wasn't sure about it after the first book (wasn't really a fan), but the next three have been fast-paced and fabulous storylines!
Two thumbs way up! : )

4 Stars:
Among some of my favorites. Outstanding literary work. The characters are well developed, interesting. The liked characters are likable and the hated are unlikable. The writing is captivating enough to keep you interested until the end and leave you wanting more. It has a fairly original or uniquely well-developed plot. The pretense and romance was well balanced and done with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and chemistry. Not so much predictable if at all. Overall, loved it, I recommend reading!!

I love this series !
I loved book 1 & 2 + book 3 was no different
Fast paced action + hot romance between Mikhail & Haley.
It is still not very clear how they have all those immunization on their blood stream.
Every book gives us a little clue to the big puzzle.
But I think that the bottom line is that Anton is trying to create a vaccine to cure his father's disease.
I can wait to read the next book in the series.
Kudos to Becca Jameson!

This is my favorite book in this series, so far. I was leery because of the premise. Mikhail and Haley just so happen to meet how they did and just so happen to immediately fall in lurv? But the author wrote this is in a way that made it seem possible and logical. And sexy as hell. This is the type of writing I expect from Ms. Jameson.
