This is the 10th book in the Zolotov Bratva family saga. It is the story of another Zolotov/Orlov arranged marriage, although the couple is unlikely based on the prior books. Vladimir Zolotov has been the sparky, sarcastic, rather unpleasant brother. This book does a complete reversal, with him now caring and charming. Sofia Orlov has been the bitchy ice queen sister. She continues this way but has a soft side with Vlad. She is impulsive and jumps to conclusions. This pairing is not as believable as the other matches in the series, although the book is entertaining
