I started reading this book totally unprepared and what a great surprise.
This book was so well written and uncomplicated, this story was amazing, maybe some lies.
It’s worth the reading.

This is an intriguing, on-the-edge-of-your-seat romance that I couldn't put down. As each chapter ended, I was compelled to continue to the next. The plot is exciting and uncertain, and luckily, it has a clear and complete ending.
Mostly, this was very well executed. My problem was with characters and dialogue. There was a lot of internal debate on the parts of Alex and Isabella as the narration switched from one POV to the next. There was too much reflection on the sizzling chemistry between th ...more

A good fantasy romance. When Alex and Rafe met they had no clue how important the other would become in their lives. Follow their journey here in this book.
When Izzy becomes involved in their lives they once again take a dramatic turn and she becomes the very reason they do what they do. A pact that could cost either one their own lives at any moment.
Excitement, anxiety, loyalty, love, honor, friendship, and hatred all live in the pages of this book.

This is book one the The Pact Duet. Two friends and one pact. Meet Rafe, his sister - Isabella and Alex. This story is told in Alex's POV and what an amazing read it is. This story covers so many topics and basis all while flowing so smoothly and effortlessly through the story. I loved the twists and turns that were worked in to enhance the story and encouraged you to read on as the story unfolds. I loved the characters as well, they each had their contribution to the story and made it more real

This was a great start to the series. This had you from the start, made you want to finish to see what was next. It was well thought out and written. The characters were great. It had you feeling what the characters did. It was about family blood and not, friendship, bonds, righting wrongs. It had some twists and turns, it was fast paced. It had you rooting for the Mocking Man, hoping for Alex, falling for Isabella. The story unfolds beautifully, reads smooth and has you thinking about it for da

Alex goes looking to rescue Rafael. Alex has to stay hidden from the cartel and Rafael has to do his father's bidding. Miguel Alvarez is the head of the cartel and finds out he has a daughter.

I absolutely love Romantic suspense and am always excited to find a new to me author that can do it, and do it well. Enter Leslie Georgeson and The Mocking Man. I loved it and cannot wait for book 2.
Another great book by Leslie!! It was A very intense book, I cried and once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. Rafe and Isabella just had to make it out of under their father’s business alive and also his friend Alex. With all of the problems that they had going on it just didn’t seem possible but they prevailed and the ending was so worth it. Can’t wait for Rafe’s story next! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading this book routing for them.

The Mocking Man (The Pact Book 1) by Leslie Georgeson is the first romantic suspense book in a series, telling the story of one of the main characters, Alex. Part two is the story of Rafael, the other main character and very good friend of Alex. I would recommend following the authors order so you get the whole picture about this story and don’t miss anything or get confused.

The perfect romantic novel to give ourselves a break
Leslie Georgeson is the writer of this 2-part, romantic suspense novel. In her book, she shows us how talented she is as she is able to immerse us into this hard-to-put-down novel.
Throughout the 370 pages that there are in this book, the author lets us enter this twisted world where two friends' lives are joined together forever, specially after one of these friends have been kidnapped.

Author Leslie Georgeson tells the story of two teenage friends, Alex and Rafe, who made a pact to rely solely on one another to survive. As the years pass, they keep this promise, that is, until Rafe is kidnapped. Alex tries to keep the pact, but finds it to be very difficult. In addition to this, he feels an obligation to secretly guard his friend’s sister from potential danger. However, she soon finds out and becomes part of the pact, much to Alex’s distress. Alex must try to help Rafe while f

For a romantic suspense, this is a good one and even though most suspense/thriller/crime novels include some of the same formulas, this one mixes it up a bit. Alex and Rafe are best friends, and when Rafe gets kidnapped by a drug cartel, Alex will do his best to try and save him and protect his sister, Isabella.

Leslie Georgeson did a great job on this story, the plot and characters were strong, the story was written well with many feelings. A lot happened in this story. The characters journey was far from easy, they went through so much. This was a great start to this Duet. I'm looking forward to reading more of this story.
Thank you, Leslie Georgeson. Great work :) ...more

So much action at every level.
I had to keep so many characters straight for this action filled story. It was sad and gruesome but really does happen in real life. It was a well told story because I was able to go along with it. And love was truly great between lovers, siblings, friends and parents.

I do SO want 1/2 stars!!! This would DEFINITELY rate 4 1/2 stars. . . . but I just can't quite bump it up to 5 . . . perhaps after I read the Pact #2, I can!
Incredibly intriguing story arc; great characters; good descriptions ~ so why 4 instead of 5? I liked it! I really did ~ but it **just missed** that spine-tingling, total-exclusion-of-everything-else, think-about-it-all-day quotient ~ for me, at least. I mean, it is GOOD, it's just not GREAT. But I AM planning to read the next one!

The Mocking Man is the first book in Leslie Georgeson’s The Pact series and sets a fast and intriguing pace from the beginning to end. This story is packed with amazing characters, and the storyline is an edge-of-your-seat, can’t put down romance that keeps you riveted till the last page is turned. A thoroughly enjoyable book that whets the appetite for more to come.

Then, there is our man, Alex. Dang! I want him. An man of many mysteries. Perfect men rolled into one. Mystery and romance are a plus and this is a definite plus! Read it!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really loved the Dregs series, so moving onto to something new was hard for me but I tried to keep an open mind. "The Mocking Man" was a bit hard for me to follow at first, but once I gave it a chance and let myself be lost into the world of crime and mystery, I enjoyed it. I loved the fierce bond of brothers and respect showed to women. I liked that our heroine was strong and sassy and had no trouble giving people a piece of her

Quite a shocker the book was as the subplots were intriguing with plenty of twists. I got a few pulse spikes while reading this. The story kept the pitch high. Tension enveloped the scenes where some were read with my heart in my mouth.
Alex and Izzy make delectable pair. They scorched my kindle screen with their chemistry. Being on opposite sides, it was fun to see them get closer.
Best friend Rafe was a wonderful support. Their friendship and Pact was heart warming.
Overall, quite entertaining.

Leslie Georgeson writes a blend of romance and suspense, sometimes tossing in a dash of sci-fi or paranormal to make things more interesting. From genetically-altered super soldiers (The Dregs) to deceptive, daredevil rescuers (The Pact), her stories are laced with danger, action, and plenty of steam. Music and the mafia combine in her newly released romantic suspense series, Something Real. Book
