Cozen by Bethany-KrisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
GENRE: Contemporary
THEME: Romance, Mafia, Suspense
RECEIVED: Tour
Cozen
BLURB:
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?

REVIEW:
Bethany-Kris is becoming one of my new favorite authors with the Mafia romance theme. I love her shocking twist and the romance is always smoking hot. Cozen was a little different than the focus of the mafia life, but stayed in the world that she normally focuses on. This time the reader is pulled into the world from an outsiders perspective, a thief and a bodyguard. I loved it!Cozen follows a well known thief named Cozen, she is an expert and getting in and out without notice, that no one would ever pin the theft on her because she is either unseen or so far into the world that she wouldn't even be considered a suspect. She gets hired by a very well known and dangerous family, the elder of the family wants a ring back that was taken from them when a daughter of the family passed away and it was left with the husband. However the husband and now target is very closely protected and has a name for himself. Cozen has to get close to him, seduce him into having her around and try to find the ring and bring it back. However her target is protected by someone who makes Cozen lose track of her main goal, she's never had a distraction and Sargon the bodyguard is way more than she bargained for.
This was such a good story, the tension between the family and the target is obviously intense and what makes matter worse is that the target is mocking the family, knowing what he has. Cozen wants this to be officially her last job, with the amount of money they will pay her she can be done. Cozen meets her targets guard who reads her too well for her liking. Its an interesting game between the two and Cozen falls more and more for Sargon, but he doesn't know her true intentions and the jealousy with her is off the charts.
In the end I was surprised by the shocking twist, it was very unexpected and seriously perfect. I was so not ready for what happened but loved how it all cam together. I cant wait for more stories from Bethany-Kris, she's a fantastic writer and knows how to connect you to this world and her characters with ease.
