Superman is up to the plate! He may hate that nickname but Thibault sure lives up to the name.
Mika has been dealt a bad hand in life. Parents who couldn't give a damn, her grandmother passing away early and then the icing on the cake, she gets introduced to a certain psychopathic, Russian mobster who enjoys breaking her way too much. Her desperation brought him into her life but she decides to get out whilst she still can. But when she crashes into a hunk of man on her way to an errand, she never realises he wold be the catalyst to immense danger but also the first real safe zone she has ever had. Going into labour??? yeah she didn't see that coming, and her new friend is all up in her business!!
Thibault loves his dysfunctional family, made up of his sister and their life long friends. Family is what you make it and he's generally happy with his lot. Being run over by a cutie in a Toyota was not on his to do list though. But quickly realising that not only is the driver in labour but she didn't even know she was pregnant, T leaps into action.
As they continue to bump into each other at the hospital T realises that Mika is in real trouble. Wll that's what Bourbon Boys deals with daily, so they are just the crew to help her. But Mika is used to fending for herself. With her new little bundle of responsibility, she is even more wary of accepting help. But will her stubbornness lead her into more danger, especially as she is not very free with details of her situation.
Really enjoyed this story. Mika was head-headed and both jaded and naive! You could see how she got sucked into her situation and how well she had done to rise above her dodgy circumstances. T is just WOW. I'd love him to swoop in and rescue me! Be aware that there are some very horrible abusive situations mentioned in the book and these could be triggers for some reader.
There is an absolutely brilliant "WTF" moment when you realise just who is involved in the background of the whole mess. Greatto catch up with the others in the crew, even Ice Queen Toni!

Favourite one of this series
This book is my favourite one in the series.
Mika struggles to do what she thinks is right. Her life was never easy and her choices made it worse. What Mika fails to see is her strength and determination. She thinks her choices are having a negative impact on Thibault and his life. She finds trusting him completely, very difficult as a result of the danger she now finds herself in.
Thibault is amazing throughout. From the very beginning he had me swooning at his kindness and sensitivity towards Mika. When he finds out about her dire circumstances he goes into full 'superhero' mode.
The journey they find themselves on after that is brilliant.
Thibault tries his utmost to convince Mika, she can trust him and the Bourbon Street Boys. Mika has to learn that not everyone is like her boss, and sometimes she needs to learn on others to help her make the right choices.
The twist at the end was not what I expected at all, but it was thoroughly enjoyable.
Throughout this storyline, the feelings between Mika and Thibault grew rapidly over a short period of time. However the process felt natural.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book had all the promise in the world; an intruiging plot, sassy characters, macho main characters. But I just couldn't get into it. The heroine, Mika, didn't know she was pregnant. She's on the run from her mobster boss when she starts getting stomach cramps, turns the wrong way down a one way road, and hits a man. He's fine, but it turns out she's in labor! He delivers the baby, helps her in the hospital, and helps her run away from her boss who is looking for her.
The suspense parts were very flat to me. The hero in the story, Thibault, was WAY too bossy and Mika was very wishy-washy. Their chemistry seemed very forced. All of the sudden he was in love with her, for no apparent reason that I could tell. Also, I couldn't get into the having sex right after giving birth thing. THAT WOULD HURT. I don't know, some people seemed to love it, but it just wasn't the book for me.

I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is the fourth book in The Bourbon Street Boys series, I have read all the book of that series though I did not remember them all that well before reading this one.
All the book from this series can be read at standalones.
This one is the story of Mika and Thibault. Mika works for bigass criminal, Pavel, who's part of the Bratva, she does his bookkeeping.
Except, Mika is also a CI and when she drives to see the detective in charge of the case, she has violent stomach pains and distracted, takes a wrong turn and taps Thibault with her car.
Thibault sees what she couldn’t figure out; Mika is in labor.
After delivering her baby in a nail shop, Thibault and his Superman complex starts feeling responsible for Mika and her son. The three of them end up having to lay low so that Pavel cannot find them.
I truly enjoyed this series. The characters were interesting, as were their stories. Their connection felt genuine and I could truly feel what Mika did. She was so fierce and untrusting, I could relate. The baby seemed cute as hell and I wanted to protect him with my life. Thibault was pretty great too, loyal, loving and all around adorable.
The intrigue, thriller part was just as interesting as the romantic part and kept me on my toes the whole time.
I read this pretty fast and had a really good time.
The best book in the series in my opinion.

Holy crap. I honestly hated this book. It made me angry. There were so many inaccuracies in the story, in the details of the story, and just overall. I wanted to like this book, especially after hating the third one. But holy crap. I couldn't bring myself to. I'm giving it 2 stars because I'm sure there are people who would like this, but I just didnt. At all.
