Gypsy Brothers #3
Five Miles
My father taught me the importance of an eye for an eye—a cardinal rule, ingrained in every club member.
A life for a life.
Seven lives in payment for an unimaginable list of sins.
People might wonder why I’m doing this. If this vengeance is borne from some noble cause. If I’m trying to prevent others from suffering at the hands of Dornan Ross and his sons.
But I’m no selfless vigilante.
I’m doing this for me. I’m doing it because I want to.
I’m doing this because I just want to be able to sleep at night without seeing their faces.
This is the fate they have earned. The penance for their crimes.
Time to send some of these brothers off with a bang.

Five Miles Juliette’s deadliest plan yet.
With the help of her ever faithful friend, Elliot….. Her long term goal develops into her deadliest and most terrifying task to date. The reward could offer completion to her ambition but the risk and possible consequence of discovery did not bear thinking about. My heart was beating so fast during the sequence of events in this third part of the Gypsy Brothers. Would she succeed or fail? She’s lied and cheated with her duplicitous behaviour throughout the first part of the story…. How would Jase, her one time, long time ago first love, feel about her actions if he discovered them? What would be the fall out?
We witness her interacting with Elliott and, through this interaction, learn more about the cop turned tattoo artist, the man who once gave up life as he knew it to help a young Juliette. We’re also introduced to Emilio... An Italian drug lord and Dornan’s father.
Juliette is a girl who appears to have lost all sense of fear... Her life feels worthless to her….. She has nothing to lose and maybe everything to gain in terms of retribution? Only one thing drives her, revenge. Any fear she does have is more than superseded by the need for her own form of justice and ensuring the demise of Dornan and his sons. They need to suffer at her hands, as much as she has, for their chilling, heinous actions.
I felt the strength and hope in Juliette and the people who help her. Their loyalty and solidarity despite her dire situation are admirable and warmed my heart. This is my favourite part so far and where the series turns into a five star, I-can’t-wait-for-more or read-it-fast-enough book. I was gripped from beginning to end. It had everything fear, revenge, suspense a glimmer of romance, a relationship between two people that I was longing for…… And the ending! Thank goodness I could move onto book four, I needed to know. What. Happens. Next?
My first Amazing 5 star of the year from a series to remember!

4,5 "Suspicious" stars***
"God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another.
- William Shakespeare, Hamlet
I don’t know if it was God who gave me my face or my mother and father, but either way, it’s gone now...
And now I have the face of a killer."
Damn!!! This series will be the death of me!!!
"It’s almost like I’m dying…little by little; piece by piece.
Burnt out, shattered, breaking apart under the weight of my lies—and I still have five to go."
Juliette is walking on a very dangerous path in the name of revenge...
If she won't be careful, she will find herself in a very difficult position...
Especially, after Maxi's death, the things got complicated!!!
“I reminded of the dangerous game I’m playing here. Like Russian roulette, but with more bullets in the gun and I’m the girl holding the fun to my head, hoping desperately to hear an empty click each time I pull the trigger instead of my brains splattering on the wall behind me.”
Dornan is more cruel than ever with her and he is warning her that if she will ever betray him, that will be the death of her...
But Juliette is determined to succed in this crazy plan of hers, no matter what!!!
"I want him to fuck me and hurt me and make me bleed, make me feel something, because I'm stubborn and twisted as fuck, and I want to be able to say he tried his best to destroy me and failed."
Jason from the other hand is getting very suspicious of her and he is keeping his distance from her...
That is something that hurt Jules, but maybe it's better that way...
There is no time for love, when you're out for blood. Right???
"I think you're Dornan's son and you just kissed the girl who's going to kill him."
At the end of this book, Juliette played all for all, but will she be the winner???
Or that will be the beginning of her own destruction????
"Everything is getting too muddled, too murky, and I’m drowning under the weight of it all."
God, this series is stressing me out, but still i can't stop reading!!!!
"You don't hate me. But you will.
It's only a matter of time."
"God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another.

5 It only keeps getting better Stars
Holy HOLY hell! Just as I think I know what to expect from this series, Lili goes and throws me a curve ball like this. Wow! This was the best book in the series so far and they only seem to get better and better with each book.
Now I have a confession to make. See I happen to have the attention span of a 3 year old. True story. Serials are typically my kryptonite since I almost always seem to grow bored by book 2 or 3. It's a sickness really and seems that Lili St. Germain just happens to be my cure because her books have hooked me...line and sinker. If I wasn't completely addicted to this series before, after this book I am practically salivating for more.
If you had questions about Sammi's motives or reasons in the past 2 books, most of your questions will be answered here. Anything that left you hanging in book 1 is also brought to light.
Here's the thing, if you're at all like me, I bet you were thinking that this may be some of the same old, same old. You have 7 brothers, there's 7 books, each book you have one die, and Five Miles will follow the same formulaic approach, right? WRONG. It's like Lili saw into my head, that evil genius, and decided to take everything I thought I knew and blow it all to hell and back.
I will not give you a sum up of this book, I will not regurgitate the blurb back to you or any of those things. But what I will tell you, is prepare yourself for one hell of a ride.
I was on pins and needles the entire time I was reading this. It kept me at the edge of my seat, biting my nails in nervous anxiety, equal parts nervous to keep reading yet unable to put it down. With each book I fall more and more for Jase and understand Sammi just a little bit more.
But the one thing that I love about this series? Lili gives you an ending that has your practically panting for the next book without doing the obligatory cliffy. She gives you just enough yet not enough. It's that sadistically perfect balance between a sneak peek of what's to come without all the details to make you sure of it. GAWD but it's awesome.
And the ending of this book had me raging in bittersweet pain. Everything I've been waiting for finally happens...yet not. It was perfect yet not enough. I'm addicted. Completely, totally, utterly hooked.
But don't take my word for it, read for yourself and find out what I mean. This is one of those serials that I can't recommend enough. Trust me, if you weren't sold with the past 2 books, this one will seal the deal.

FINALLY, we are getting somewhere...
Suffice it to say, this shit is batshit crazy and I love it.

TWO DOWN, FIVE MORE TO GO
BOOM!!!
"What the fuck are you doing here? Are you even real?"
Elliot and Juliette, their memories and the past.
Dornan and Sammi, their sick twisted sex life and the present.
Jase and his girl. A girl that he knows she is lying. Any future there?
I am taking my time to read this series -although the books are short- because it is hard to stomach all the violence, the pain and the truth.
Excellent books!

HOLY FUCK! OH EMM GEE! HOLY FUCKNUTSAMAZBALLSCRYINGREVENGEPOLT!!!!! I... I'm.... just... I don't know what to say. I'm sure I'll find the words somehow, but right now I'm speechless. I'm telling you now... If you haven't read this series yet, PLEASE do yourself, your mind, your eyeballs and your heart a favor and read this MUTHAFUCKING KICKASS SERIES! You will not be disappointed.
I'm sure everyone knows there is a sort of formula or recipe for romance or even the dark love stories. And I'm sure we all knew what was going to happen in the Five Miles installment of the Gypsy Brothers. Well, Lili St. Germain will show you exactly how not to try and predict her story. She will bitch slap you into another world.
Some of the questions I've been asking myself since the start of this crazy adventure are also realized by Sammie. She is forced to think about the future and others around her, but she's on a war path to destruction and is ready to go down in the flames.
At this point I have no idea what is going to happen next. I'm so blown away right now I'm surprised I'm semi-functioning to even type something up.
I fucking hate Dornan and his sons! I want them all to die slow and painful deaths and I want each one of them to know who has finally brought them justice.
Overall, this is my favorite one so far and I cant wait to see what is coming next in Four Score! Everything was perfect for me and hit on all cylinders. Now my vagina is betraying me because some of these sex scenes are really fucking hot and I know I'm not supposed to like them. Fuck it! Who cares! Do I really need to say anything else? Nope! Are you going to go out and get the series? I really hope so.

5 fuck me stars
It’s ridiculous how invested I am in this series, this crazy fucked up roller coaster ride just keeps on getting better and better, with no way to even guess what could happen next. The only thing for sure is that it’s not gonna end well, I mean how could it...Sammi has a death wish, with that I am certain of, the things she endures just to get one step closer to the revenge she needs is just twisted...and at this point I’m almost wondering if it’s enough?
How much longer can one last with any hope of keeping your sanity and individuality??? The only saving grace Sammi has is Jase and Elliott, without them I’d be scared she would be so far gone in the hell Dornan created for her. The two men keep her grounded, caring for her in different ways, letting her continue with the self-destruction that is clearly on the horizon.
Five Miles for me was bitter sweet, I loved the fact that I got to read it as soon as I did BUT at the same time waiting till the end of May is gonna suck balls! But DAMN was it good, I loved the twists and the unpredictability of it all, there is so much that can happen and I am all over the place with my feelings. I’m starting to wonder about my own sanity; getting aroused when I know damn well I shouldn’t, wanting their death as much as she, it’s crazy! It still trips me out that I'm lusting hard on this series when it isn’t a “romance”, it is life in its ugliest form, one I am thankful I have no experience with, some may call it over the top but me I'm enjoying it for what it is. Now I have to sit tight and try and behave until the next one comes out.

4.5 It-Was-About-Time stars
Whoah. I can't tell yet, but I think this was my favorite book from this series. So far at least! We had a couple of developments and I'm quite pleased by them. Still,I'm terrified to move on, since I know that even though my stomach was in a good place in this one, the sunshines and rainbows won't last for long.
If you haven't read the previous books, procceed with caution. I may say something that will spoil it for you.
In this book, finally, we had more scenes with Jase. He is a smart guy and he was following her around, being suspicious and all that and knew about her meetings with Elliot. It makes me wonder..How is it possible Jase did that and his father, who's the leading member of the biker's club, hasn't thought about something like that? She's his new toy, how can he trust her so completely?
“Trouble just seems to find you.”
I shake my head. “No, I definitely go looking for the trouble,” I reply. “I find it before it finds me.”
I'm glad that in this one Jase grew up some balls and faced her and her whole act, showing to her that he's not a fool , just like his father or anyone else. I liked his angry side, even though I must admit that it also scared me. Not that I expect Jase being a fucked up psycho, just like his father, but oh well. You can never know with this series..
How much more can I take?
Why do I stay?
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I'm glad we saw her doubting herself, because there is truly something fucked up about her. But I get it. They ruined her life and she wants their blood by all costs. Even if she's also ruining herself in the process.
And finally!! The last chapter was heaven ! I'm super excited to read the next one, to see how this story is going to unfold. I'm scared, but I can do this. Right?

Another awesome read from Lili St. Germain! I was origionally going to give this a 4.5 stars; but since I have devoured this book, I can't seem to get it off of my mind. A book like that (In my opinion) deserves a five star rating!
We continue on with the third book in this dark series, and things are heating up in the MC World. Dornan is beginning to lose his cool after the death of his two sons. He is beginning to think he knows who to blame, and he is more than willing to start a war between his supposed enemies. Meanwhile, Julz is also breaking down in her own way. She is finally getting her revenge on the evil brothers who gang raped her at 15; but at what cost to her soul. She is spending a lot of time thinking about what will happen after all is said and done?
Julz is also having to endure being with Dornan, and she is finding out just how twisted he is. Will she be able to survive his sick and evil treatment, or will he end up finding out her betrayal and killing her on the spot?
In this installment we get a little more time with Elliot and Julz together. We also get a little more of Jase and Sammie time as well. Jase is starting to become suspicous of her and I think he is watching way closer than she thinks!
All in all, it was another action filled read that I could not put down for even a second! This series has me captivated, and I am sad now that I am caught up, because it means I have to wait until the end of May before I read the fourth book. There were some huge reveals, and some major emotional scenes, I can't wait to see what will happen and if there will be a happy ever after for anyone in this harsh world. I am totally sucked in, and please Ms. St. Germain write faster!!!LOL ;-P

3 huh? Stars
I’m keeping up with this series because of the raving reviews. It’s not that I didn’t dislike Five Miles. I am just highly disappointed.
It does have the wow factor, I give it that. I don’t understand the relationship she has with Dornan. I understand she needs her revenge, but really? I mean, he’s REALLY REALLY REALLY horrible. Don’t get me wrong, the scenes were totally crazy and I was glued to the pages, but it does leave you hating Dornan, like REALLY REALLY REALLY bad.
Then I don’t understand this Elliot character. Can we slap a sticker on his forward that says sucker? I mean, what a man has to do to get a girls attention? I mean, short from cutting off his balls and giving it to the girl, I don’t know what else he can do for her.
It’s just overall sad.
And Jase. I think it would have been better if I didn’t get his POV. I can’t explain it. I think it’s because I know he loves her and I know he would do anything for her, it just gets me frustrated that he’s kept in the dark.
To sum up the read. She wants to kill the brothers. Elliot still loves her. Jase still loves her. Dornan is still nasty.
This book has angst and some lagging parts. I hate angst and I hate lagging parts. I felt like the first 90% was just filler (except for the scenes with Dornan) and then at the last 10% I was like oh okay I see where this is going.
I’m continuing with the serial. I just can’t quit yet. Call me crazy.

To sum up the read. She wants to kill the brothers. Elliot still loves her. Jase still loves her. Dornan is still nasty.
This book has angst and some lagging parts. I hate angst and I hate lagging parts. I felt like the first 90% was just filler (except for the scenes with Dornan) and then at the last 10% I was like oh okay I see where this is going.
I’m continuing with the serial. I just can’t quit yet. Call me crazy.

5 better and better STARS
Wow, this just gets better and better as we follow Sammi/Julz into the darkness of her revenge...
We get more of Sammi and Jase as he becomes distance and angry with her. Sammi sees flashes of his father in him and fears that he'll never forgive her for what she plans to do. And she knows that she'll accept any fate he chooses for her.
As she comes closer to realizing her goal, she's also barely hanging onto herself, her soul and her sanity.
“I reminded of the dangerous game I’m playing here. Like Russian roulette, but with more bullets in the gun and I’m the girls holding the fun to my head, hoping desperately to hear an empty click each time I pull the trigger instead of my brains splattering on the wall behind me.”
“Even the best-laid plans can go awry. That’s the thing about randomness and fate.”

“My heart leapt a little. The ghost I had become—the girl suspended in time, neither dead nor truly alive— felt the first stirrings of hope, of new beginnings and second chances. Because although he had saved me, although he was my Prince Charming and every beautiful thing a girl could ever want, we weren’t in a fairy tale. I wasn’t a princess in an ivory tower, and he wasn’t my gallant knight.”
- Juliette Portland

“No, it wasn’t a fairy tale that brought Elliot to me. It was a fucking nightmare.”
- Juliette Portland

“I left because after three years, you were still calling out for him.”
- Elliot McRae

“The juxtaposition of our past and present couldn’t be more starkly contrasted. Innocence and guilt. Morning and night. Living and dying, piece by broken piece.”

This is about on par with the first and second installments. I'm still not completely sold on the lead female, but the story is chugging along and I'm still interested in seeing how this revenge scenario plays out.

4.5 stars!
Amazing....! This story is just getting better and better! After the end of the previous book, I was wondering how the story can remain interesting. Well, it was....more than interesting! It was fantastic! And it just went on from the end of the previous book.
Julz is still out for revenge! Although she put herself in more danger than she thought with her actions during the end of the previous book, she doesn't give up and she goes on with her plan! Everything becomes more intense and dangerous as Jase is suspicious of her and her intentions. I won't say anything else for the plot as I don't want to give anything away.
The writing remains amazing! It's direct, emotional and raw! The plot of the series is difficult to keep interesting and balanced and Ms. St. Germain has succeed both! I'm totally hooked and I cannot wait to see how everything will move forward.
Julz is amazing! She is aware that she is risking her life with her actions but she cannot stop now. I really love her!
Dornan is still vicious and crazy. Elliot still tries to save her. Jase is a big question mark! Each of them has an important part in her plan! Brilliant!
And there that I was thinking that I had figured everything out, the end came and left me voiceless! I mean, seriously? How is it even possible? And although I was considering to take a break from the series, I couldn't....I have to know what happens next! What other surprises and twists are coming up!
Fantastic series! I totally recommend them to anyone who enjoys a dark story!

I really wish I know how to get my hands on arcs :(
anywaysssss.......
I mentioned before that I realize that after a period of time, the books go on sale, but I can't wait that long so I caved in and bought the $2.99.
I just need to remind myself that IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
That ending!! I loved it (no it's not finished yet). I've re-read and then re-read it and then re-read it. I just love big reveals!! My favorite kinds of books :)
The next book will be really interesting. I feel like Juliette will have to go through a lot of obstacles to become truly satisfied with her life. No telling if she'll ever be happy though. As she has said, she's too messed up for normality. But I do wish that she eventually gets her HEA.

I hope dornan goes to hell soon

I came back to the Gypsy Brothers series only to try to figure out where I stopped three years ago, but once I started reading, I decided to read this one again to make sure I didn't miss anything and now I can't stop! I have no idea why I quit reading this series in the first place, because it's awesome!
Great writing, an original story line, and an author who cares enough to make sure her work has been edited and proofread, which is starting to mean more and more to me lately, make this an unputdownable read for me. There are a few incidences of BE that really should be converted to AE since the books are set in California, but that's the only thing I find that bothers me at all.
I gave Five Miles 4 stars all those years ago (Again, I have no idea why? Maybe back then they hadn't been properly proofread? I'm not sure.), but I'm gladly giving it 5 stars now. If you like your MC books dark, gritty, suspenseful, and sexy, then you'll love this series!

holy. fcuking. shit
Lili, I LOVE YOU, OK?!
This book was brilliant, I don't even know what to write...
Wasn't what I was expecting, thrilled me to pieces.
Dark, and yet thrilling. Juliette has a change of plans, it's time to get rid of them all at once.
Amazingly well written, great plot, and well executed (get it? MUHAHAHAHA).

Lili Saint Germain has exceeded herself in this book. I loved one and two, but wow, this book totally blew me away! And just when I thought she'd finished with the surprises she threw another one in and left me gagging for book four! She's a bloody tease and temptress.
This book sees Sammi endure yet more degradation from Dornan and family, and for some reason in this book I felt like she was more alone than ever. At times she questions if she's following the right path, but as the reader you're so torn. Yes, revenge is sweet but is it worth the price she's paying.
My only complaint is still that these books are way too short. They're not long enough to feed my addiction so please Lili, hurry up and release the next one to feed this addiction!

I love this series. I can't believe all that happened in this book. Julz is bat shit crazy for doing all that she is doing but it is also heartbreaking all that she is going through. Jase and Elliott will steal your heart, each in their own way. Can't wait for the next book.
