An amazing Mafia story!
I found this story totally captivating. This is my first read by Kelani Knox and I really liked the writing style, the flowing plot and the well-presented characters.
This is an interracial romance with two very interesting and strong main characters. I really liked Dom. He is ruthless, efficient and seemingly untouchable. But when Anya bursts into his life, everything changes – but JUST for her! Long story short, Dom, next in line to take the reins of the Petrov Bratva, sees Anya’s photo in the office of Ivan Kozlov, of Sokolov Bratva. Anya was adopted by Ivan’s parents when she was five and her parents perished. He asks for her instead of money in exchange for his help, but Ivan refuses. Anya, however, decides to proceed with the deal, behind her brother’s back, because she wants to help her beloved brother. What starts as a contract marriage develops into so much more. I loved Anya’s fire and determination, her ability to see behind the obvious to the man Dom is despite the bad. She forgives the most unforgivable sin he has committed (huge jaw dropping moment!). I admired her for this alone (I don’t think I would ever be able to do the same). Mafia business, betrayals, action, and hotness weave this rollercoaster of a story. I loved every single page! I would definitely love to learn more about some of the secondary characters too – like Dom’s right-hand man, Angel. So, fingers crossed! In other words, I totally recommend it. 4.5 stars.
