Resolving that cliffhanger and more hot Russians
Dangerous enforcer for the Russian mob, Roman Loginovsky hires unknown American actress Dora Liverpool to assume another woman's identity and pose as his wife, in order to draw out a top target on his organization's hit list. Now, Roman and Dora are targets themselves, and the more time they spend together, the more their unwanted feelings intensify.
Russian Enforcer's Feisty Lover resolves the previous book's cliffhanger concerning Dimitri and Ariel and revisits Vitaly and Joanna from the first book, Russian Enforcer's Reluctant Bride. All three stories are interrelated and deal with the Russian mob and the Russian mob's sudden interest in forced unions between hot Russian leg breakers and their willful American beauties.
I enjoyed catching up with Vitaly and Joanna and how their relationship has grown. I was very pleased that Joanna is less annoying than she was in her book.
Author Nic Saint's Russian Enforcers Series gets better with each book, and I have fewer criticisms with this one.
That said, my primary complaint is the same. The men need to stop being so tame and be more assertive. More growling, less groveling. They're Russian enforcers, for Pete's sake! Start enforcing, and start with the wife!
My other quibbles are the same as with the previous books. The wife is OK with the enforcer's violence and criminal ways when that's what is keeping her safe, but when the dust settles, her morals kick in.
These books aren't dark and gritty like other organized crime or MC books, so it's a bit unfair to hold this series to the same standards. I just wish these men were a bit rougher around the edges and the women not so unrealistic and hypocritical.
These are nice novellas that are fun to read.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
