Freak: a spicy, friends to lovers, fallen rock star romantic suspense (Popov Boys Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 254 ratings

A reclusive songwriter. A sassy intruder. A deadly family feud…


I learned a hard lesson as a boy: trust no one.
Especially not family. Forced to give up my music, I fled from their cruelty years ago. Now I write lyrics from behind a mask of darkness. In seclusion—and hiding a painful secret.

When sultry Mia Bennett shows up at my woodland sanctuary, all my instincts start screaming. Is she a spy for my family? A turncoat? Why is she
really here?

Yet, somehow, despite my misgivings, Mia breaks down the walls and makes me feel alive again. She gives me the courage to just be
me.

Then tragedy strikes, and a series of suspicious events forces me to confront my past.

But I’m no longer the wounded boy who ran. This time, I’m not backing down. This time, they’ve gone too far.

Mia’s life is on the line, and I’m the only one who can save her.

I’ve already paid the price for fame.

Now I am about to learn the cost of love.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"OMG — this book! This book sucked me in! With the poetic writing and the feels. The emotion, the injustice, the crazy. Unbelievable horrors and secrets. The heat and love. The genuine realness that was emotional, touching, sweet. Lots of twists and turns, and a beautiful HEA. I couldn't put it down!" PTators, Goodreads

"This is a really unusual story with some memorable characters." Elizabeth, Goodreads

"I cried for what was happening. Oh this a great book, Leslie has done it again!" Sara, Goodreads

"This novel had me enthralled from the beginning. It was very hard to put it down." Kenneth, Goodreads

"The story is excellent, unpredictable between the beginning and the end." Magali, Goodreads

"Let me tell you, this story kept me on my toes and my emotions on high alert." Jen, Goodreads

"This is the first book by Leslie Gorgeson that I have read. It is phenomenal! I loved the characters and there is just enough suspense, love and mystery!" Gerri, Goodreads

"Freak really held my attention. I read it in two sittings, with the break being there only because I had to go to bed and snooze, or I would have been up all night!" Barabara's Bookanalysis, Goodreads

"This was an unusual read that I really enjoyed." Tracey, Goodreads

"I wish I could keep clicking and adding more stars. What a book. Such abuse by some very twisted people who hide their sins behind their fame. Yet call themselves "family." A life of lies, pain and degradation. This author has written a story that will stay with you long after you close the book. Such a gripping read, you'll find your thoughts drifting back to it again and again. Leslie Georgeson is a phenomenal author and I am looking forward to reading more from her." Debbie, Goodreads

    This is not the YA (Young Adult) or rock star romance I was expecting. Nor would I label it as mystery/suspense although there were twists and turns that I did not see coming (and I’m rarely surprised by a ‘romance’ novel). Zeke is a fascinating mix of mature and needy (and talented). The author does a fantastic job building the chemistry between the characters (and not getting bogged down in multiple long sex scenes). There was a bit of repetition and telling rather than showing in the first half (Zeke’s past life and trust issues), and the action picked up in the second (and I couldn’t put it down as it approached the climax). There were no complex ‘bad guys/girls’ in this one; the bad were pure evil. This was an unusual read that I really enjoyed. 4.5 STARS

    I normally judge a book from the first chapter or so to see if I want to read it or not, mainly because there are so many books out there, why waste time with something that doesn't grab me from the start. So, I almost put it down, but then kept going for some reason, and am very glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. It was like nothing I've read before, a very different type of story which had everything from romance to evil. I found the author's writing easy and real and creative. Lots of twists and turns and things i wasn't expecting at all. I definitely recommend this book.

    I really enjoyed the book. My only issue is the cover. Why is it a normal guy on the cover? I found one other cover available that looks like Zekes album cover is described, and that one is perfect for a book cover. Otherwise, the book is good.

    I wasn't expecting half of what was in this book. Freak is not your usual rock star book, in fact I don't think that is the correct genre, but no matter, the story was unique. Zeke was an amazing character, a recluse and song writing savant however that's not what makes him special. Mia is originally sent to meet Zeke for nefarious purposes but a tidal wave of secrets, lies and betrayal soon follow. If you like genre mash-ups then give this one a try

    I'm so iffy with this author!
    I like her stories but the writing gets repetitive and long winded.
    I was ready for the story to wrap up when I realized I was at 20%.
    Trudging through some mundane bits, the mystery of Zeke starts to really unfold.
    Over all the story is good. I am interested in the next book.
    I appreciate that her books are interconnected standalones without a cliffhanger.
    Though I might try, it is highly unlikely I will ever finish any of her series'. The pace gets to me every time.

    This was Mia and Zeke's love story. The main focus was on Zeke with Mia bringing light and warmth into an otherwise lonely man's life, but the story dragged on in too many places and I found myself speed reading and flipping pages to get to the next part. It was only so-so.
