4 Smooches!
Synopsis
“You’re the big boss.” She looked up at me and smiled. She was dressed in a cheap cotton shirt and jeans that should be on the burn pile, but that smile was pure gold. This girl had guts.
“I told José he was a fool to try and cheat you,” she said. “I wasn’t part of it, and I don’t work for you. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
She’d heard about our policy protecting bystanders. Of course it doesn’t apply to anyone whose eyewitness testimony can put me in a courtroom. Well, try to put me in a courtroom. In Mexico nobody would dare accuse me, and I’ve enough resources in England to guarantee a police investigation would come to nothing, but it’s not my style to take chances. Solitaire would be going into the ground along with Escamilla.
“Mr Vazquez,” Solitaire gave me her best smile. “I don’t expect something for nothing.” She dropped her voice. “You’d like me,” she whispered. “I’ve heard about you. We’re the same.”
“Are we?”
“Yes, I can make you very happy.” She brushed my hand over her cheek and then kissed my palm. “I’m a very good girl,” she said quietly. “Unless you prefer a naughty one?”
She sucked my thumb, and I was instantly rock hard.

Review
Talk about an unconventional romance! Songbird is not your typical love story but there is definitely something beautiful about seeing these two criminals, both with hearts of gold, find happiness with each other.
Arturo is a mob boss, as head of a Mexican cartel he has a reputation that is well deserved! Dealing in everything from drugs and prostitution to textiles and the stock market means that he and his crew have to run a tight ship and Arturo is not a man you want to come up against!
Solitaire has been held captive by one of Arturo’s men and has been subjected to rape and other abuse during her stay. Not inexperience with the crime world herself, when Arturo and his men come to her abductors house once they learn of his betrayal, Solitaire sees this as an opportunity to save herself and makes a deal with Arturo for her life.
These two have an instant attraction and chemistry that is off the charts! The more time Arturo spends with Solitaire the more he realizes he may want to keep her around long term. But can she be trusted? With an informant somewhere on the inside can anyone really be trusted?
I really enjoyed this story and despite all of the criminal activity I found myself falling in love with these characters. There was a really good element of mystery throughout the book that kept me guessing all the way to the very end! This story does have some elements of BDSM in this story but it’s nothing to extreme. Actually there wasn’t that many sex scenes in the book but the ones that were there were very sexy.
