SYNOPSIS:
coz-en (kuz-uhn) verb 1. trick or deceive. • obtain by deception.
She was named most appropriately.
Cozen Taylor has more than earned her place as one of North America’s most successful thieves. Her name is whispered amongst criminal elite as the go-to thief when someone needs a heist.
She has never failed.
A call from the Miami-based Astor family could change all that with a job that seems almost impossible to complete. The mark should be simple—a stolen family heirloom, the man who has kept it hidden for over twenty years, and six months to return the piece to its rightful owners.
Nothing is ever that easy.
Three-hundred million for a successful heist. No smart thief would turn the offer down. Cozen didn’t expect a complication like him to put a kink in her plans, though. Sargon Makri—tall, dark, gorgeous, and entirely dangerous. For her life, her heart, and for the success of the heist.
The last thing Cozen needs to be thinking about is Sargon, and how she can get him into her bed … especially when he just happens to be her mark’s bodyguard. The thrill of the job has never been more addicting to Cozen, and she will risk everything to make the heist a success.
But at what cost?

From author Bethany-Kris comes a whole new world. A North American network full of criminals battling to stay on top, and painting the streets red in war as they dabble in the game of betrayal. Malicious, cunning, forbidden, and violent—welcome to The Empires and Badlands.
We have to say that this is our first book by this author and we throughly enjoyed the story from beginning to end.The story engaged us from the very first pages.We loved the characters that the story had and the magnetic pull that went on between Sargon Marki and Cozen Taylor.I loved the complication that this posed for Cozen because this pull between her a Sargon is making her job only ten times harder to do the job and the fact that they can't keep their hands off one another isn't helping matters especially when she is suppose to be seducing her mark yet, doing the dirty with the witching bodyguard who is never far from her thoughts.What complicates matter's even worse is Sargon is having trouble keeping his jealousy at bay endangering both their lives even more.
Cozen's and Sargon's entanglement up the suspense level on a daily basis and keeps you on edge the entire time throughout the story.The chemistry between the couple was super hot and their sexual encounters even hotter.
Jett aka the mark was the typical arrogant businessman and with his obsession and jealousy he feels for Cozen makes him dangerous and unpredictable and it doesn't help the man by nature is not a patient man but, used to getting what he wants.Cozen for him poses the perfect challenge. Jett on the surface seemed like a nice man but, I found him to be anything but.
I loved the banter,the intensity that went on between Sargon and Cozen their love scenes super hot,explosive,exciting and very intense.The chemistry this couple had was Hot! Hot! Hot!I loved the cat a mouse game they had going on between them as it makes things exciting a you never new what was going to happen next.I loved that it should have been a forbidden romance between the two but,the pull was indelible between them.I liked the fact Cozen was doing something that was out of her character for once in her life and that just spiced things up making the game even more intense and even more dangerous.
Overall we loved the story from beginning to end as it had the perfect mix of all the things we love to read about we loved the drama,romance, it had a great cast of characters that were engaging and fun, but, most of all we love that the story engaged us on an emotional level which we loved the most.The story made us laugh as well as cry.And last but not least we loved that ending as we never saw that ending coming which made me love the story even more.
I am so looking forward to our next read from this author.
Recommended read to all!
