This truly was a surprise read for me in all the good ways! There are those books that stay with you after you finish them, and have you pondering your ideas, and thi is one of those in the best way. The story of Dmitry & Eva is one that starts with pain and fear for her, and a need to control for him, but morphs into understanding, healing, accepting, and a way to fit in together. Eva hasn't had the greatest life, but she is resilient. Dmitry has been hardened by the mafia, and doesn't know anything else but that lifestyle; but when he finds her, she will teach him about tenderness, care, listening, real protection, and belonging, he will teach her how to survive, self worth, to feel cared for, to belong. But there is so many twists and danger that also comes with them being together in the mafia life. This book is just so beautifully written, there is plenty of development in each of the characters, the plot weaves so much together seamlessly that you will continue reading until the last very word!.
