Dmitri

by C.M. Steele

I hadn’t been looking for a future when I stared outside my balcony, but there she was. Cora and her long black hair caught my eye and stole the heart I didn’t know I had. Before I could introduce myself, another tried to take her away. I couldn’t have that, so I captured my woman to keep her safe.

My trip to Italy had been wonderful until my eyes landed on a large, handsome Russian with a devilish stare. As I wait impatiently for him to approach, I’m abducted by another and sedated. I woke up in his bed, wondering how I was going to escape my abductor, only to realize he would always be my hero.

Another obsessed man that would do everything and anything for his One. Dmitri is in Naples for business and that's when he sees Cora for the first time. He instantly knows that she will be his wife and when he tries to introduce himself he sees her kidnapping. But no one will harm his woman and the retired bratva member won't stop until he knows who is responsible for frightening and trying to kidnap her. Cora thinks she is on a vacation, but someone from her past tries to hurt her. She falls head over heels for the hot Russian and just knows she is safe in his arms.
Instalove, age gap, sweet, steamy, OTT, romantic , with betrayal, a bit of action and safe with an awesome HEA and no OP drama.😍😍😍😍😍

Dmitri and Cora

When their eyes crossed across a piazza in Italy, their destiny was sealed.
They both instinctively knew that their meeting was predisposed. But, someone tried to break their future before it started. Thankfully, Dmitry, a Russian millionaire, was more than a simpering businessman. He had been the Russia mafia enforcer, a ruthless and feared man who was ready and able to get his woman by any means necessary. Recommended

The story is cute but the writing quality is very poor, as if this were a first draft. I refuse to believe someone who knows the difference between fiancé and fiancée doesn’t know whether they’re writing in past or present tense (this is not the only type of problem with the writing but it is the most obvious) so I’m chalking this up to a lack of editing rather than a lack of knowledge or skill. 2.5 stars

Rescued through being Kidnapped

Dmitri knows the moment he spots Cora she is meant to be his but when he makes it to her he sees her being abducted. Quickly coming to her rescue he takes an unconscious Bora to his Villa to keep her safe and goes about claiming her as his and finding out the truth of her almost abduction in this engaging read.

hot

This was a good book from the beginning to the end. I liked that he fell in love with her from the moment he saw her. She was getting kidnapped and he saved her and fell for each other right away.

Dmitri

I see Dmitri's instincts were spot on when it came to the death of her mother. I'm glad she realized how much danger she was in and didn't fight too much. Her protective, obsessed alpha would lose his mind if she was hurt.

Cheesy cute

A bit fast paced but still it was a cheesy cute story.I love me some ott protective MMC and a feisty FMC throw in the international language and sweet words and I am hooked.

Dmitri

He sees a beautiful tourist and before he could get to her from his balcony, she was abducted and drugged on the street. He followed the woman he knew was his. The person responsible for taking her would pay...they would pay dearly.
Loved this HEA short story.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I cannot believe the plot twist in this book, he was truly a monster. Thank goodness Dmitri saw what happened but most importantly did something about it. Cora made the right decision to stay with him. Loved the ending
