Aida and Gia begged their friend Siena to vacation with them in Boston, with her parents away in Hong Kong, she agreed. Only then she is snatched from the bar they were drinking at. Taken captive by one of Milo’s enemies, a Russian Bratva boss, Mikhail Gurin.
He holds her ransom to force Milo to back down from a merger. Siena knows that that Milo is not the kind of man that accepts threats. It means only one thing; Siena is doomed to fate worse than death.
Somehow Mikhail is drawn to Siena, he cannot explain the things that he is feeling inside for his little captive, only he knows that it is not something that he can act on, for he intends to use Siena, regardless, as his slave and plaything until Milo submits.
Siena sees the way Mikhail looks at her, and it scares her to the core, but that pales into comparison when he tells her he will ruin her for all other men and then toss her aside
Mikhail cannot Siena out of his mind, his mind turns wicked and depraved at the things he wants to do to her, and neither can she, as she is thrusted into his life, his world, entangled in a trap she knows she may never be able to get out of, yet they push each other completely, wholeheartedly, irrevocably until the inferno implodes between them. He asserts his dominance from the get-go, and she is not sure how to accept him, let alone how to take him.
Siena fights Mikhail at every turn, but she can’t help but be responsive to the way he touches her, the way he makes her feel, she is determined not to feel, but she has this need inside of her that only he can satiate, for him to take her on a sensual and erotic journey of self-discovery, drowning her entire being in unthinkable pleasures.
Siena discovers that Mikhail has very explicit kinks and very dark and dirty desires, she also finds that she has desires herself, to be pleasured, to be taken in any way possible, her wants and needs taken beyond heightened passion, fulfilling this dark, powerful erotic sensual need inside of her and Mikhail gave her all of that and more.
Mikhail and Siena show each other that there was much more, no matter what either wanted, together they explored each other’s pleasures, going beyond more than what they both could have possibly imagined. Even though Mikhail lets her go as part of a deal, it breaks them both, as they both deny how they feel for each other, the love between a dominate and a submissive, there coupling was electric, there desire white hot, their love for one other burning from the inside out.
The secrets, the lies, the twists, the turns lead to the inevitable, the truth, Mikhail having to form an alliance with his enemies to avoid an all-out war with another enemy. There were those out there, trusted friends and family who betrayed him through blackmail, enemies that were relentless in their pursuit for blood and vengeance, it all finally came to a head.
Their story was raw and sensual, as it was powerful and confronting. Their love for each other heartbreakingly beautiful. It was fast paced and thrilling, it made my heart race and soar to unfathomable heights. The need to see their growing attraction, the lust and fear, to own and dominate, retaliate, to take control, God it was hot.
I was hooked from the very first chapter right up until the last. I loved the different points of view, it told a telling story, especially the complex family dynamics between Mikhail and Siena, Fabio and Gia, Aida, and Milo. The author knows how to write, to ensnare her readers to ensure they will come back for more.
And those s*x scenes in and out of the bedroom were down right sensually erotic, the filthy dirty talk an absolute turn on, daring, filthy, provocative, possessive, controlling, oh so steamy, deliciously wicked, dirty, hot, beautiful, dark, taboo, naughty, raw, powerful, passionate, wet, dominating, and wild and there happily ever after is what you could wish for and more.
