Boss Girl from Emma Tallon is the third book in the Tyler series. This book can easily read as a standalone, as I have not read any of the other books in the series. Emma Tallon is a new author for me.
Anna Davis is under pressure. She is the Boss of Club Anya and now opened a comedy club with business partner Tanya. It’s opening night and they celebrate with Anna’s boyfriend and gangland boss Freddie Tyler, who owns most of London and Tanya’s boyfriend Tom, who wants a slice of the pie that Freddie has and asks if he can start working for him. The story continues when Freddie and Anna gets burgled and then Anna gets kidnapped. Freddie thinks that the only person that can be responsible is mafia boss Frank Gambino that has arrived from America.
If you love stories about the British criminal underworld, then this book is for you. I loved this book from the very first page. It gripped me from the start and totally drew me in. It had great characters and l liked how gritty and suspenseful the story was. But, also the rivalry between the gangs. I can’t wait now and read the rest in this series and to see what else Emma Tallon has in store in the future. I am so glad I chose this and thank NetGalley and Bookouture for a copy of this book. massive big 5 stars from me.

Loved it! The book reminded me of Martina Coles' earlier work. Tension and drama, excellent character development. This book definitely kept me on my toes.
I felt that the book could have been even longer since I truly felt connected to the protagonist and her plight.

Yet again another absolutely brilliant segment of one of my now favourite series to date! After the troubles Anna and Freddie faced in the past it finally looks as though things are on the up until Anna befriends a young girl. I absolutely adore the charectors in this book and can't wait to see what happens in the lifes of Anna, Freddie, Tanya and the rest of the gang. Another 5* rating from me...

This is the third book in the series about the Tyler's and their family and friends. Anna is under pressure as she is busy with her West End nightclub and the opening of their new club. Her boyfriend Freddie Tyler owns nearly all of London's West End. Freddie has also got lots of enemies. Freddie is hoping to go into business with Frank Gambino, but will the deal run smoothly.? I don't want to say anymore as it would spoil the plot.

Although this book is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. The main characters are back and I like them all for different reasons ie: the bond between Anna and her business partner Tanya, the way Freddie, even though he's a bad guy, loves and protects Anna. I do like a book that's set in the criminal underground. This is a fast paced edge of your seat read. It's both dark and gritty with a storyline that's gripping from beginning to end. If your a fan of Kimberley Chambers, Martina Cole or Mandasue Heller you will enjoy this book/ series.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Bookouture and the author Emma Tallon for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. This is the third in the series and really should have read the first 2 and maybe could have related a bit more to Anna

Emma Tallon has once again come up with another excellent gritty thriller.Boss Girl is the third book in the Tyler series and finds Anna and Tanya all happy and content as they open their second club The Last Laugh in addition to Club Anya,But trouble is brewing on the horizon in the shape of mafia boss Frank Gambino, who Anna's boyfriend Freddie Tyler the west end crime lord has invited to a meeting to discuss business.Things start to go awry for Anna as she has to keep secrets from Freddie and she takes her eye off the ball and doesn't realise she is being watched,but by whom ? Boss Girl can be read as a stand alone book but it would be better to read the first two books in the series in my opinion and why wouldn't you want to ? All three books in this series are excellent gritty gangland thrillers and if you enjoy this genre then these books are for you.Carry on the good work Emma i look forward to the next instalment ! Excellent 5 star read again.

Another brilliant book from Emma. I loved the last instalment of the Tyler’s and this was just as good. A gritty fast paced storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down. Although this is book 3 it can be read as a stand-alone but it’s good to read from the beginning of the series to get the background of the characters. I can’t wait for the next instalment to see what happens with Tanya.

Having read the book before this one and having thoroughly enjoyed it, I was looking forward to reading this and was in no way disappointed.
It is gritty and fast paced, with plenty of intrigue and lots of different threads weaving through the plot. I worked out who was orchestrating events fairly quickly, yet that in no way diminished the story or my pleasure in reading it, as I looked forward to confirming my suspicions and to the other characters discovering the truth.
The characters are flamboyant, yet believable and wonderfully engaging.
The book flows rapidly throughout to an ending that leaves room for more. Definitely one to add to the bookshelf

Emma Tallon, you are amazing, you have had me hooked on following Anna and Freddie's lives from Runaway Girl and I wait impatiently for the next instalment to see what the underworld throws at them next. I have never hidden the fact that I absolutely love this series and this one certainly lived up to my expectations if not more, I read this in the day, I just could not put it down, I had to know the who, the where, the why.... brilliantly pieced together.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion although it was the impatient side of me not wanting to wait til publication day, confession to make, I have already paid a couple of months ago the preorder via Amazon :)

Boss Girl is part of a series of books featuring Anna, her best friend Tanya and Anna’s boyfriend Freddie. I haven’t actually read any of the other books but that didn’t spoil my enjoyment whatsoever of this one. I am now desperate to go and read the others though after loving this one.

If you love stories set in the criminal underworld, you will love this one. The friendship between Tanya and Anna I loved. They are both strong women who have obviously been through a lot. That bond is very much there through out the story. Freddie, I pretty much fell for straight away. He is a lovely bloke but there is also a side to him that whilst scared me, also thrilled me.

I don’t want to say to much about the story line itself as to do so would spoil it for other readers. It is an edge of your seat read though with many heart stopping moments where I was literally beside myself to see how things turn out for the characters by the end. This isn’t probably one for the more faint hearted reader but if your not, you will love it.

Boss Girl is a dark and gritty read that I absolutely loved. There were so many parts that had me literally biting my nails and the build up of tension and suspense as to who is behind it all was electrifying. Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be reading the other books in the series.

Another corker in this series and I'm already looking forward to the next one. This is total edge of the seat stuff, if you're new to this series you can start here but it's best to go back to book 1 and start from the beginning as there are so many twists and turns. Although I guessed part of the ending, it kept me hooked until the end and the cliffhanger ending was amazing, I can't wait for more! This author just gets better and better and in my opinion is one of the best in this category, a must read!

Really enjoyed this next instalment from Emma tallon but it ended way too soon! Hopefully the next novel will be out soon then we can find out what happens with tayna

This book clearly will likely have a fan following and it wasn’t a terrible book. It was clearly a book strictly for entertainment value. There were no profound moments or lessons to be learned. It aches at the end to set up for a follow-up novel, so I suspect that’s likely already in the works. I won’t be knocking down bookshelves to find it and read it. If this book had been more fast paced and exciting, I would have gotten through it much faster, but I found it easy to put down bc I grew bored with it more than I ever was drawn to it. Again, not terrible and I’ve read worse books just to follow a series through to the end, so I’m sure fans will appreciate this book for the easy read and continuation of the storyline that it is.

What a fabulous book,
We return to the lives of Anna, Tanya & Freddie among others. Freddie is a gangland boss, Anna his girlfriend, Tanya her best friend and partner in their nightclubs.

When Anna doesn't arrive home one night, Freddie's first thoughts go to mafia boss.Frank Gambino who he is trying to go into business with. But Tanya reveals that unbeknown to Freddie, Frank has threatened Anna as he missed out on buying her club years ago, but by threatening her he thinks he is on to a winner, not realising how tough Anna can be.
Freddie is out of his mind with worry and can't find any leads where she is. Tanya has also revealed that Anna is pregnant with Freddie's baby. Will they find her?
This book kept me gripped right to the end, i never once suspected who had got Anna and it had me gasping out loud. I just couldn't put it down as i grew deeper and deeper into the story. An excellent book full of crime and tension.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity.xx

Anna Davis is under pressure. With her West End nightclub packed full every night and the opening of another club just around the corner, she knows she can’t take her eye off the ball.
Her boyfriend Freddie Tyler practically owns London’s West End. He’s going into business with crime boss Frank Gambino. But visiting Anna at work one night, Gambino tells her he’ll only sign the deal with Freddie on one condition – that she hands over Club Anya to him.

When one night she doesn’t return home, Freddie is beside himself with worry. And as he races to save Anna, one thing is for sure – he’ll get back the girl he loves. Even if it means taking down the whole of the London underworld to find her...

Apparently this is the 3rd book in a series, which I'm going to have to read the first 2 because this was an amazing book! Such a fast paced, quick read, that you can't help but devour this story. Anna is one of my favorite characters, I'm hooked on the Tylers!

Thanks to #NetGalley for the ARC of #BossGirl

Although this is the 3rd book in the series I did not know that. It reads well as a standalone. Very enjoyable read. The story gripped me from the beginning to the end. The characters are superb. The story engaging. You won't want to put it down, I hope to read the next book very soon. Thanks to NetGalley, Bookoutre and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

.To be back with Anna,Freddie,Tanya,Paul,Carl and Tom was a delight i was so looking forward to catching up with the story and charactors.To say this book is fantastic is an understatement i was being pulled further and further into their story.Emma Tallon has a brilliant gift of writing a gritty book that draws you into the pages and what a blinder this book is.But we all know not all is right in Freddie's world and there are a few shocks to come this book is well worth 5* and i can't wait for the next book.
