He was the last man she thought she could trust...

As the right hand to The Mistress, New York City’s most notorious mobster, Charlie learned early on that when the boss points, you shoot—or you’ll end up on the wrong end of the bullet. And she has no reservations about doing what it takes to survive. That is, until the cost becomes the blood of the innocent and she’s forced to decide: Will she become the monster everyone thinks she is? Or will she throw everything away and try to outrun death?
And that death hunts her in the form of disgraced ex-cop-turned hitman, Everett Daniels.

She was the last woman he thought he'd fall for...

Everett regrets the day he turned to The Mistress for help in locating his missing wife. Now trapped in her service, he will do anything to settle his debt. When Charlie goes on the run, Everett sees a chance at freedom that he can’t afford to turn down. Tasked with returning The Mistress’s protégé, Everett has everything to gain. But he can’t shake the question in his head— why would the heir of a criminal throne leave everything behind? Could it be that Charlie isn’t the viper he thought she was? Discovering that answer might cost him everything…

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read!

I loved this book and the Decopunk theme! It is a refreshing change to the frequently used settings and time periods and the story gets better and better the more you get into it. Must read and I can't wait to read the second book, Scorcher.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic debut!
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023
I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Warren’s debut novel. I found it to be very engaging, and despite it having zero spice (I usually read dark romance) I really enjoyed it. I was invested in the story, and thoroughly enjoyed the author’s style. Poetic at times, the style of the novel is at times pure art. The mafia storyline was very interesting and emotional. The progression of the romance was well done and all of the characters were well crafted. I am extremely looking forward to the follow up to Bearcat! As for my 4 star instead of 5, there wasn’t anything majorly wrong with the book. I try to save a 5 for books that are perfect or near perfect. Warren is off to a great start, and like all authors (including myself) has room to grow—which is exciting when you consider how promising her debut is. Very few authors come out of the gate with a 5. Please read my 4 star as an *incredibly* enthusiastic rating, I can’t wait to see more from Warren!

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a fantastic steampunk set in the 1920s!
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023
This was such a compelling story. A combination of futuristic in a 1920s setting. Great characters that feel so authentic to the flapper era. Loved the way it worked in sacrificial love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Story
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2023
I loved S.E.Warren’s debut novel for its compelling story. I was caught up in the futuristic, yet 1920s setting, but the characters and the huge framework surrounding them pulled me in and refused to let go -even late in the night when I should have been sleeping! The noir feel is juxtaposed against the jingle and shine of the flapper era- a complement to the story which is a perfect blend of shadow and light. I received a free copy from the author, but will be buying the sequel. If you enjoy huge stories with sacrificial love and impossible choices, this book is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly good decopunk
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023
Did y’all know there is a genre called decopunk? I sure didn’t before this ARC. I am in LOVE with this book!
It is a futuristic book that is surrounded by the 1920’s style.
This book revolves around a woman named Charlie and a man named Everett. Charlie was raised in the mafia and is being groomed to take over from the boss lady.
Everett is an ex cop that had some unfortunate things happen to him and is now in the same mafia.
This is a slow burn (no spice), enemies to lovers, excellent banter one liners, found family, decopunk, mafia, action packed book. Had someone told me I’d love a book like that… I’d probably not agreed.
This is the authors debut novel and she did amazingly wonderful! I love everything about this book! I can’t wait to read the next one already.

Bearcat is slams for a fiery woman and Charlie definitely fits this description. She is destined to inherit a crime syndicate but is that really her future? In walks Everett one of the syndicates flunkies and throws some issues Charlie’s way she wasn’t wanting or expecting!
The story building and backstories are so very well written it makes this book a fast paced fun read!

I cannot wait for more from this author!
