It is time.

I’ve waited two years, given her time and space, all because she asked.

I thought she would eventually find me.

I was wrong.

She’s living her best thieving life, moving from country to country, from job to job, from secret to secret, never stopping—even for a moment. Is she running from something? Is she afraid her past will catch up to her, and she’ll have to face it?

Does she think she will escape me?

For two years, she did. But I found her.

And today, I’m gonna make her pay.


Set in the same world as The Cleanup, The Meetup is a dark standalone short story relaying what happened when Zach finally found Olivia, two years after they left boarding school. Although the characters are the same, it is not necessary to have read The Cleanup to enjoy The Meetup, as it is an independent story.

This is a dark adult MF story, reader discretion is advised. For a detailed list of themes, please see the content note in the beginning of the book.

Umm, YES please to all of this! This is HOT! That’s an understatement, this book is on fire. So much spice, off the charts really. Not for the faint of heart.

If you’ve read The Cleanup you’ve been introduced to some of these characters. This story happens years before The Cleanup. Olivia gets kidnapped by a psychopath and needs to find a way to escape – except – she may not be able to. It’s smutty, kinky, spicy, and all the other words you can think of to describe some intensely hot scenes. I flew through the pages, it’s a quick read, but there are definitely some triggers so read the warning before diving in. It’s spice heavy – there’s not much plot here. But who really cares when it’s this delicious 😉. It was everything promised and more.

I loved it; these ladies did an awesome job with this novella. It left me in need of a cold shower, but it was fantastic. I loved getting to know Olivia a bit better, she’s a wonderful character. I made the mistake of reading this in public – maybe don’t do that - 🤣 it is that hot. The two books from these ladies have really taken me on a ride and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! I will read whatever they write!

Holy crap. This book was hottttttt AF!

Oh Zachary, Logically I shouldn't be swooning over this, but I so am! This is the prequel to The Cleanup of how Olivia and Zach reconnected...and my oh my...it was not what I was expecting.

This book was steamy, sexy and in true order, definitely Liv and Zachary fashion.

It was sexy, short and sweet and I absolutely loved it.

*Overall 5/5
*Heat? 5/5
*Novella - Fast Read
*Fast Burn
*Ends in perfect way

If you have read The Cleanup then this is truly a special treat for you!! We get to see Zach at his finest and who doesn’t love a great psycho! This is a quick dirty read. This novella for me was a perfect addition to the Cleanup and you technically don’t have to read it to enjoy this novella but it makes the experience so much better!

If your’re looking for a hot steamy novella about a psycho and his obsession, this is the place.

Zach, my dear, you and I both know you are not the swooning type but I do swoon for you.

It was definitely everything I was expecting in a prequel about them.

It’s a 5/5 for me! The spice was incredible and the ending was nothing short of perfect!

Gotta love Zach. Treads on some blurred lines up until the realization its Zach. Sex and punishment. Nice to see how he caught up with her.

“I plan to make you into a tapestry of atonement.”

I’d like to preface this by saying you don’t *have* to read The Cleanup in order to enjoy The Meetup, BUT I highly recommend it!!
A) because The Cleanup is brilliant!
B) because it gives you the opportunity to become invested in these characters and learn their personalities and connection.

The Meetup is a (too) short, little tasty novella the authors KNEW we needed. It revisits Olivia and Zach’s unique, for lack of a better word, relationship. The Meetup technically takes place prior to The Cleanup, but there are flashbacks in The Cleanup that predate The Meetup. It’s all pretty brilliant actually lol.
Olivia and Zach met in prep school where Zach’s obsessive tendencies quickly locked onto Olivia. After they graduate, Olivia decides to take a break and travel for two years with her best friend before having to get serious about life. Zach respects her wishes, but time is up and he’s ready to reclaim what became his all those years ago 😈.

“I’m only now discovering that the ghost that possessed my thoughts was just a pale and pathetic copy of you. You’re deeper inside me than I could ever be inside you, Little Thief.”

The Cleanup gives more detail into Zach’s background, but to put it simply, Zach has a high functioning personality disorder & he displays the most delicious psychopathic tendencies 🤤.

“Even if my soul is but a forgotten whisper, it will find yours and make it cry out in both pleasure and pain."

This quick and tasty story is not for the faint of heart. There are trigger warnings in the summary.. please take note of them. But if you like your fictional men dark, twisty, and morally grey… look no further. Zach fulfills it allllll🤤😈🔥

“Your soul is as tainted and dark as mine, Olivia. You hide it, but you thrive in depravity so much so that only a psychopath can keep up with you.”

THANK YOU SO MUCH MILA & MANUELA!!
Now, hear me out, can we please get an extended epilogue novella!! Maybe starring Daddy Zach. Like as an actual daddy 😍😍😍

I absolutely loved The Cleanup, so it was only natural that I’d want to get my hands (or should that be eyes?) on another book about the same characters. The Meetup features Olivia, of course, and Zach, the group’s resident psycho. It’s set shortly after the gang has left school and, aside from a small bit part for Max, none of the other characters appears in the book.

I’ll be honest, at seven chapters the book was too short for my liking. I wanted more Zach, more Olivia, and more of that debauched steaminess that I’m convinced Sin and Rouget are withholding from me. The story is pure smut and I revelled in every word of it. But, aside from that, it was smart, witty and everything I’d expect from a Mila and Manu collaboration. Now they’ve got me desperately awaiting book 2 in the series, The Payback. It can’t be written soon enough.

This is a fabulous novella of their kinky session in Morocco after having been away from each other for two years.
After you have read “The Cleanup” if you fell in love with Olivia’s guys, you will love this.
Zach, “Doc”, being a psychopath, he is obsessed with Olivia, he wants to possess and own every part of her even her orgasms, his love language.
Once Olivia figures out that her kidnapper is Zach, she is able to enjoy everything that is happening to her.
If you love smutty, steamy, kinky, sex with handcuffs, anal, forced orgasms you will love this.

This is a dark adult MF story, reader discretion is advised. For a detailed list of themes, please see the content note in the beginning of the book.

I am excited what comes next.
Look for more books by Mila Sin, and Manuela Rouget I know you will enjoy them

After reading The Cleanup it is no secret that Zach is my favorite hands down.

So when I heard there was gonna be a book about the time where Olivia and Zach meet up I was so thrilled.

To have another piece of this wonderful story. (I was so sad to see it ending in the Cleanup).

It starts off with Olivia on the hunt of her current victim.

This is set 2 years after they all parted was after school.

And is the prequel to the Cleanup.

Be warned this is such a hot story. Cold shower is advised.

Zach is done goving her time and goes after her. Ofcourse in his own twisted way.

I have to say this makes me love hem even more.

Mila and Manuela you guys did it again. Amazing story hands down.

Wowza

These 2 may be my favorite book couple! I knew they had something special in the The Clean Up and boy did it shine through in this novella!
Zach is definitely one if a kind and the way he loves is so intense, it is not for the feint of heart, but if there is a sign up sheet I am willing to volunteer to see if I have what it takes!
This story takes us to the in between high school and The Clean Up, where 2 years have passed since they have seen each other and Zach quite frankly has had enough of their separation. In spectacular psycho form he lets our gal know their time apart has officially ended! I like to be informed of things via orgadms too so I totally agree with his methods!
You do not have to read TCU first, but it will definitely give you some perspective, hope you enjoy as much as I did!!

This can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I went into reading this without reading the Cleaner, which now I have to go read it.
This is a very spicy novella, you follow Olivia who is 20 years. She’s on a job in Marrakesh and tailing a major stakeholder to find out what their hiding. As she’s doing so, she is then knocked out and kidnapped. When she’s awaken she’s indisposed and chained. There’s one person in the room with her, unaware if there’s others involved.
Is this person someone who’s she helped take down? Is this a person from her past? She needs to figure this out before something happens.
The meet up did not lag in any parts. It’s a must read for those who’ve read the Cleaner and even those who have not and you love spicy it’ll be a great read. I know if your like me you’ll want to read the Cleaner after reading this.

OMG!!!
This was everything I was hoping for and more when these 2 incredible ladies announced this Novella based on Zach and Olivia!
You don’t have to read The CleanUp to dive into this but I highly recommend you do. It’s where you will fall madly in love with Zach & Olivia’s relationship and wish there was more…. Which this novella gives us!
It takes place before before The CleanUp when Zach Reunites the 2 in an insanely HOT couple days of wild and deliciousness while she’s on a mission 🥵 surprise Olivia, Zach is here to play!
I couldn’t recommend this more!! I’m obsessed. He has kinda a psychopath(k he full on is 😂 )and she embraces him full on - which warms my heart!!! They are endgame and I can’t say enough good things about this novella and stand-alone book(the cleanup)

First of all: read the trigger warnings! They are no joke. But if you love your books spicy and dark, know this: The connection between Zach and Olivia is out of this world! I absolutely love how Olivia respects the person Zach is, with all his psycho personality traits intact. I read the Cleanup and loved the connection between these characters there, but this novella adds something remarkable to who they are years later. And that even though the plot in this story is pretty much absent...

Oh Zach! How I have missed you… The Meetup by Mila Sin and Manuela Rouget has been a great novella to jump start my ovaries and remind me how I’ve loved the chemistry and connection between Zach and Olivia aka his Little Thief❤️ Now, I feel depressed that I will never get a chance to read about Zach again unless I reread The Cleanup which I definitely will whenever I am in a book slump and need an endearing Psycho with utter devotion to his girl. I hope Mila And Manuela decide to give The Cleanup crew a new adventure or heist so we can keep tabs on their future together, maybe with kids. I know it’s wishful thinking but still…

Oh how I have missed Zach and Olivia I had read the The Cleanup and fell head over heels for them and the other character's, so when I got a chance to read what happened between Olivia and Zach when he went searching for her 2 yrs after HS I jumped at it. I needed some more Zach, because yeh he may be diagnosed as a psychopath, but you can't help but fall for his sexy af dirty talking self. This was so worth the trip down the dirty path of memory lane for these 2.

I really enjoyed this novella. This one’s just between Zach and Olivia. They are two characters from the book The Cleanup. This one takes place before the story about The Cleanup. Olivia is on a job. She is following her target. She gets grabbed off the street. She is strung up and lots of sexy times follow. When she finds out who it is she’s not all that surprised. Zach helps get finish her mission. Catch up on the rest of their story and for more sexy time in the cleanup.

A short, amazingly spicy and kinky as fuck read!
I loved Olivia and Zach in the cleanup! I’m so happy they got their own little novella.
Olivia is still a badass bitch! She’s sassy and definitely knows how to hold her own.
Zach! My perfect psycho doctor! I’m still obsessed with him. His tastes are dirty as fuck🥵. He’s kinky and just down right filthy! I loved every second of it!
The chemistry, the need, the desire! It’s all still there even years later! I need more from this group!!

Holy smutsticks. I loved *LOVED* seeing Liv before she became the ultra bad@$$ we saw in The Cleanup and Zach as the calculating psycho he would grow to become. Their chemistry is next level. This novella is practically all steam but I never once complained. Their dynamic had me fanning myself from beginning to end. Five stars, slow clap, cold shower. In that order.

The Meetup is a hawt as sin Novella from The Cleanup by Mila Sin and Manuela Rouget. Now if you’ve not read The Cleanup wtf not?! Hop to it! If you wanted to try this before well this is a very short spicy novella based on one of the the guys (the one who I licked hands off he is mine!) and our FMC Olivia. This has those steamy as hell scenes in you didn’t know you absolutely needed. The chemistry between the pair is utterly insane. Utterly delicious fun read.

The Meetup is a short and spicy prequel!
I loved this short and spicy read featuring Olivia and Zach. My only regret is it was too short because I absolutely loved The Cleanup and the characters.
If you have read The Cleanup then you should definitely check out this prequel, if you haven’t read it then what are you waiting for?

If you read The Cleanup and wanted more of Zach, then here you have it! Don’t go into this novella and expect a plot because there isn’t one. This quick read is nothing but delicious smut! Zach was my favorite in The Cleanup and I loved every second of this story! Oh, and make sure you have something cold to drink while reading!

And I thought The Meetup was spicy! Holy batteries batman! This novella is allllllll the spice you need and then some! After 2 years apart from his Little Thief, Zach is making up for lost time with Olivia!
Again, the writing style of these two authors blends so seamlessly and that is such a difficult thing to do. I'm off for another cold shower and you need to read this book.
Oh and these authors need to invest in a battery company ... and maybe send some out with paperbacks!

A short and sweet smut fest. If you loved The Cleanup and want to know how Zach and Olivia reconnected, then you will enjoy this. Warning ⚠️ : The spice to story ratio is way different. This is mostly spice and it is wonderful.

Oh yes please, short, sexy and completely naughty.

This is the story of how Olivia and Zach reconnected in the prequel to The Cleanup, it's a riddle full of triggers, but it also weirdly has you swoony, don't ask, just read...It unexpectly good.

XOXO Lottie.

Steamy and Sweet
I absolutely loved reading about Olivia and Zach in The Cleanup. He's a bit sadistic for me, but oddly enough, I love it! He's different and unashamed of it. It's sexy. And even though his ways of handling things can come off totally creepy, he's actually incredible sweet. We get a good glimpse at his softer side in this novella, as well as the love that he and Olivia share. They may not call it love, but that's exactly what it is, and I'm 100% here for it!
If you want something short, steamy, sweet, and shower inducing, this is the novella for you! I'ma go take my cold shower now...

Enjoy!

I loved this. Zach is my favourite from The Cleanup and to read about him finding Olivia, his Little Thief, after two years apart is wonderful. And hot, so incredibly hot! I think my kindle started to melt while I was reading this!

Oh my! 🥵 What a perfect short story of a hot & heavy hookup between Olivia and Zach in Morocco while Olivia is out on one of her missions.

This reunion between the two takes place a couple years after their high school graduation. You could read this novella as a standalone but I’d definitely recommend reading The Cleanup first to better understand the history between these two.

This was a fast-paced, fast-burn, spicy, kinky, steamy read and I loved every single second of it! 🙌

If you enjoyed The Cleanup you will definitely enjoy this book because we get to see more of our favorite psycho. This book can be read before or after the full length book, it can also be read without reading The Cleanup at all. Also this book reads as MF whereas the original is RH. Either way I really enjoyed this novella.
