Till Death Claims Me
To save my brother…
I made a deal with the devil.
One signature. One kiss.
And I belong to the most dangerous man in the city.
My new husband doesn't think I chose this.
He thinks he's punishing my brother.
That I’ve been forced into his trap.
But every time he touches me...
I'm the one burning.
I wasn't supposed to find his secrets.
Wasn't meant to discover what lies beneath his control.
But he can’t hide who he is from his wife.
Not his violence…Or his deepest desires.
I should be terrified…
Instead, I want him more.
The way he protects what's his...
The way he bleeds for what belongs to him...
Makes me wonder if being owned…
Might be worth the price.
Read on A dark arranged marriage romance where a sister's sacrifice becomes an obsession. When she discovers her husband's violent world, she doesn't run from the darkness—she craves it. Watch as forced vows turn to fierce protection, and a debt becomes a dangerous addiction neither can resist.

My darkness!
“Your darkness doesn't frighten me, Dom. It matches my own. You're all I need. She presses closer, her body molding to mine. Just you. Every dark, dangerous piece of you."
A woman who loves and is loved will forgive just about anything. Anya is that woman. She fell in love with her monster, Dom.
This was a really good story. The plot twist was on point. You got me with the Blue/Chris. I didn’t see that one coming. Well done!
One problem I have with this author’s work is the lack of consistency in her scences. She needs to ensure the content is consistent and accurate especially when writing consecutive scenes.
Example: Anya is described as wearing a black pencil skirt in multiple scenes and then refer to her wearing pants in another. In subsequent scenes, she writes about her pants and then her skirt being removed. 🤦🏾♀️

just ok
The authors lack of attention to details is disappointing, missed spelling errors tends to detract from the story. I enjoyed the book once I was able to overlook the now and then errors. One scene she’s in skirt, then dress then pants, at no time was she able to change so how could she appear in three different outfits. Plus her husband had blood all over him, transferred some of it to her, yet he’s the only one that took a shower. Your books are improving, but still need work.

Till Death Claims Me is a dark mafia romance centered around Anya, who agrees to an arranged marriage with the ruthless Dom to save her brother. Anya soon finds herself drawn to Dom's world and the darkness it holds, despite the dangers involved. The story explores themes of sacrifice, forbidden desires, and the complexities of love amidst violence.
Till Death Claims Me was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Anya has a fire to her, and Dom is this ruthless, efficient guy, which is an interesting dynamic. I also thought it was cool that it was an interracial romance; that added another layer to things. The mafia setting, with all the betrayal and action, was exciting too. There were a few typos and just plain weird inconsistencies that kept pulling me out of the story. Some of Anya's reactions felt a little…off. Like, she forgives Dom for some major stuff so easily.
Till Death Claims Me might appeal to readers who enjoy dark mafia romances with strong characters and a focus on forbidden love. Readers who are sensitive to editing errors or utopian plot elements might want to consider this before diving in.
My Rating: 3⭐️ Good read. The well-developed characters and interesting premise had potential, but some of the unrealistic elements kept it from being a standout read.
My Rating System:
1⭐️: The book didn’t hold my interest and/or had significant issues that overshadowed any redeeming qualities for me, but generally not my cup of tea. Most likely did not finish the book.
2⭐️: The book didn’t quite resonate with me, and while my experience wasn’t remarkable, I did finish it. It had some redeeming qualities and potential but fell short in execution. Recommendable, though with some reservations.
3⭐️: Good read, but didn’t quite stand out. Still worth recommending to others.
4⭐️: Really enjoyed it and stayed engaged throughout. Would read book again. Definitely recommendable.
5⭐️: Incredible writing that made me deeply connect with the characters. I was completely absorbed in the world and didn’t want it to end. This book stayed with me even when I wasn’t reading it. I'd gladly reread it and highly recommend it to everyone!

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.

Family Matters
‘Till Death Claims Me’ is definitely a wonderful read. It’s like a continuation from the other two books in this series. And if you haven’t already read them…you should.
Talk about Family, Friends and thin thin lines drawn in the sand. This book will definitely surprise you…
The chemistry that Anya and Dom has is nothing short of spectacular. It’s both hot and sexy.
I’m really looking forward to seeing if there’s love to be found or at least another alliance to be formed. Either way… I’m enjoying the series.

This is the story of Dom and Anya. Her brother owes Dom a debt and to save him she makes a deal with Dom to marry him. Dom is a tough and dangerous man but Anya doesn't care because his being dangerous is what attracts her and she doesn't know what kind of world she is involved in now. and can he keep her safe in his world and from his enemies? Wonderful story by my favorite author. I am already looking forward to her next book.

When Dom comes to collect a debt from Anna's brother she ends up making a deal of her own in becoming his wife to save her brother, but when she learns of his criminal world and the darkness it brings she's drawn to it like a moth a flame but will adpm let his wife burn in the fire or burn deeper inside of him! Well written steamy, desires, drama and more.

Anya overhears a conversation not for her ears and decides to act on it. Her brother is beyond upset that she has sacrificed herself for him and their family. But Anya is about to get a very rude awakening, containing the past, and secrets. The present also has lots of surprises for Dom and Anya. How will it all end? A good mafia read.

I enjoyed reading this book. This was my first time reading anything from this author, and I was impressed. Just enough drama, and angst strong MMC and FMC. I especially liked the way the FMC was written. She was strong and honest wasn’t a push over and didn’t do the typical run away before finding out the truth then realized she made a mistake. Those type of FMC I don’t care for. But nevertheless, a very good read and I do recommend this book. Looking into this author to find more to read.

Nice read 🙂
My sister recommended this book to me. She loved it. I, on the other hand, thought it was a nice read, I wasn't crazy about it. If clueless was a person, Anya would have her face on the poster 🙄. She loved her brother and would do anything to help him. Dom got a little in over his head when he married her and fell in love. Secrets were definitely exposed. It was a nice read 🙂.

Had Potential…..but fell short
Loved Dom and Anya but this book had so many distractions.
1. Grammar…. Needed a better proof read
2. Inconsistency…. Same scene starts as sunny then a few mins later it’s night
3. The big secret resolution….really that’s it
4. The end seemed very rushed. This is when most of the issues showed up.
The rating of 3 was generous. Was more a 2.5.

yep
So let me start by saying that for me this story pulled me out of a reading slump. I really love Dom and Anya as a couple. I love that they fight for each other. This book had some twist and turns and just when you think you know what’s happening the author throws a little bit more in there for you. I totally recommend reading this.

I did enjoy this story more than the other Forced Mafia Marriages. I love how strong both MCs were and witnessing their deep love for each other develop and blossom.
However, I did not enjoy the inconsistencies and errors in the writing. Whenever I came across those it immediately took away from the story.

Love the Depth of the story
This seemed my favorite out of all of your stories. I love the way Anya is being Dom ride or die. Dom protectiveness is touching, he is ready to take anybody out over his wife. Maybe I’m feeling lonely, because this story is really getting to me.

Till death Claims…..
This has so many unexpected turns, thrills, passion, trepidation, deception, redemption….. but the love….. unchained! Committed. Passionate and a lesson of what loyalty and disloyalty means in any relationship. Two thumbs up! Great story line! Must read!

This is a couple serious about getting it right. He was, as you probably could imagine dangerous, deadly and over protective. It's funny how they both didn't think they warranted extreme love but they did it so well. They needed to get it right in spite of...

Not realistic, no sister would EVER go against their brother and try to bargain on their behalf in the Russian Mafia. Ivan wouldn’t have to stand down either. He’s connected to supposedly the top of the top rank and wouldn’t have let this stand. Don’t use the Russian Mafia if you don’t know how they operate smh.
And why do authors try to glorify the FMC losing their virginity? It’s not all glamorous, and 90% of women don’t come from penetration alone. They have their FMC’s coming and screaming and blah blah blah, another eye roll. The entire book was a serious eye roll literally. SMH 🤦🏽♀️
