I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
J'ai passé un bon moment entre ces pages où l'on découvre l'histoire de Nathalie qui se rend à une soirée de charité qui tourne mal et qui finit par être sauvée par Ilya. Enfin sauvée c'est vite dit puisqu'elle se retrouve à être au final sa "captive". Elle va alors évoluer au cours de son séjour chez lui et découvrir le monde de la mafia, l'obligeant à apprendre à se défendre par elle même. J'ai apprécié l'évolution de son personnage et le fait qu'au final dans le danger elle ne soit pas l'héroïne sans défense qui attend d'être secourue, elle sait réfléchir par elle même et trouver une solution. J'ai également apprécié le personnage de Ilya qui se retrouve à devoir protéger la petite sœur de son meilleur ami qu'il n'a pas vu depuis longtemps. On ressent l'envie qu'il a de la protéger vis à vis de son amitié pour le frère de Nat. Il a conscience aussi que c'est justement le fait de la connaître qui l'a mise en danger au départ et c'est pourquoi il essaie par tous les moyens de ne pas céder à ce qu'il ressent pour elle. Par contre je reste un peu sur ma faim quand on m'annonce un homme dangereux qui est respecté et craint par ses ennemis. En effet son point fort semble être plus sa compréhension des gens et son analyse des situations qui le rendent dangereux car au niveau des actes il ne m'a pas paru très convaincant. Peut-être aussi que c'est dû au fait que pour moi Nino et Remo Falcone restent les maîtres en la matière !

This is book eleven and I am reading this series. You don’t have to read in order to enjoy. This story is a good one about a young woman Natalie. She is helping her roommate by offering a date at a charity auction. It starts suspicious straight away. The roommate gets Natalie dressed up in a sexy outfit but she is totally uncomfortable and doubtful instead of feeling empowered. Second, the roommate allows Natalie to fall prey at the charity auction. Ilya and his brother Dom are leading their territory and don’t usually attend events like this, but out of the blue they received invites. There are some parts of the story that you just have to suspend reality to allow the story to continue. The twist begin there . . . . Read On!
You don't release the safety on a Glock. It doesn't have one. The trigger is designed as a safety in the pull. You don't cock a glock. You rack it. I've seen this type of error many times. Putting the wrong name of the person the character is talking to is a common error throughout this series of books . On a plus the story lines are good the the layers of the characters are well built.
“But I want a gun.” I smile. Natalie Mellowes, I think, but don’t say. You’re becoming more my type of woman with every passing day.
the damn twins were annoying and so was Ilya. I liked their first meeting but after it just was meh. He was so determined to be like 'i don't love her' but clearly u do. bozzo. Natalie doing the most.
Ilya & Natalie story had danger but also sparks between Natalie & Ilya. I am curious to see how Natalie brother reacts to their relationship. I wish that was included in the story.
I so enjoyed this book.. I love how strong Natalie is. She might have started out weak, but she proved she wasn't so weak. Lylia he was tuff for sure. I'm glad they found each other. Ready to read the next one.
