THE SYNOPSIS

She thought it was only for one night…I’ve never let anyone into my life. At least not like her. Not until her. She sees a side of me that isn’t the bratva monster everyone else believes. Now that she knows, she’s mine.

Mine to keep and protect. Mine to please. In return, it’s her love I crave. She’s my soulmate. Every kiss, every touch will take her to her limits, and I’ll be the one to catch her.

THE REVIEW

Tina and Bogden were magic! I appreciated that Tina was reluctant and weary about getting involved with a Kutsenko, instead of just blindly going with it. She questioned him and their relationship often, but while trusting him to take care of her and keeping her safe. Bogden was just the SWEETEST Mafia man ever!  He doted on Tina and read her mind, mood and signals with perfection. I was in love with him and his personality.  Their book was romantic, dangerous and, at times, dark and I was hooked the whole story. Their story overlaps the first book in the series, but it was be read alone. However, I loved how I was walking through Laura and Maks relationship all over again through Tina and Bogden's romance.
