OMG this was a great book. I enjoyed this book mafia story are amazing. It was a page turner and the suspense was intense . I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. Irina and Alexei and Dmitri are the main characters. Irina and Alexei love was forbidden and she belong to someone else in this mafia world. Irina worked in this bar and Dmitri and Alexei always come through. But they couldn't even fight the temptation and they gave into the passion and romance and the danger was excitement for her. I can't wait until the next story. I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
