Viktor, a nightclub owner and billionaire was an endearing and protective hero from the very start of this story. Alia, a bartender witnesses a murder while leaving work and takes off running through a opened door in Viktor's private nightclub. He sees she scared and shaky and takes it upon himself to protect her because that's what Russian men do and boy does he protect her! Viktor has his share of opposition - his brother, Sasha and even his mother, Svetlana but Viktor pays them no mind.
This story was full of suspense and smexy moments! Victor and Alia had great chemistry!
Sasha's story should be just as good but he will need a lot of work because he is so old fashioned and some women will need to modernized his archaic ways of thinking! I would love to read Arkady's story if Jess or Orga are the heroines in his story too!

Needs editing. Can't forget you gave your leading lady green eyes. There were also words missing, etc.
I didn't dislike it, it was an easy read but not much happened considering Alia was running from the Russian Mafia. This could have been a great read if the author had flushed out the racial issues more and really got into how the real mafia would have handled someone seeing them murder someone. I think that needs more than 2 or 3 pages.

Viktor and Alia's story.
This is my second book by this author. I thought the story was more of a sweet romance than a Mafia story. The Mafia element was present but I expected more from that side of the story.
Nevertheless it was still a romantic story!

I thought it was kinda boring. Maybe because I read this right after a read another book that I really really enjoyed (Black Pearl) and kept subconsciously comparing the two.

Nice BWWM story
Nice story with likable but forgettable characters and plot. It's not your typical alpha billionaire, but he's likable. It was a quick enjoyable read.

Serious editing issues. This story had a good plot, and at times it was exciting and entertaining, at other times it was boring and eye rolling. The characters came off as juvenile, and their mindsets and behavior didn't seem to be indicative of mature adults. So for me it was like reading about some adolescent youths drama. I don't know how old Viktor is...one minute he's 35 the next he's 38. Either way he should have waaayy more street smarts than conveyed, his lack of, made him appear clueless, weak, and uninteresting (IMO). It was good effort, it wasn't all bad, and at times it was really good. 3*(less)

Predictable
Not bad, good story ,well written with interesting story and characters. The story was the classic damsel in distress who needed protection and finds it in the arms a super sexy man with a hero complex,not complaining it was a pretty good read, held my attention and the romance between Victor and Alia was really sweet and romantic,but it was so predictable and that's why I only have it 3 stars. This was my 1st book by this author,I'm sure I will try another.

2.5 rating. The sad part is that this had so much potential. I barely finished it and it is only because I didn't want another book on dnf. While I was reading it, minor adjustment to characters and dialogue would have made this another hit for me. Too sad.

Great Read
The storyline was great , and I loved the relationship between the two characters. My only wish is that it was more to the story, it ended too soon.

Got halfway through and had to stop. It’s just so... banal. Nothing has really happened. The fem protag was in mortal peril a couple times but that feels like eons ago. Other than those brief chases (where afterwards the fem protag mystically forgets there’s a hit out on her and her bro and goes traipsing around the streets at night without an escort again like she hasn’t a care in the world) there’s a lot of day to day hum drum that would put me to sleep if I weren’t being productive right now.
I don’t care about the characters. There’s nothing interesting or captivating or amusing about them and so the book is really falling flat for me. Maybe it’s because they don’t have much depth. The male protag is Russian, a gentleman (in real life everyone would think he was a creeper), Russian, a businessman, Russian, formally a playboy, Russian, a generous soul, a family guy (ha), mega rich, and Russian. Oh, did I mention he’s RUSSIAN? Yeah, they kinda shove that little dity down your throat. Several times. Despite knowing that her lover is kinda an awesome guy, the fem protag doesn’t delve deeper into his motivations, just takes him at his word that he’s trying to pay the generosity that’s been given to him forward. That’s nice (polite smile) but I need a little passion, a little sass. A spark, a flame, a fricken sizzle. Something that shows he’s got a personality and he’s not just a 3-D printout of the heroine’s perfect man.
All I know about the fem protag is she’s stubborn (but folds faster than any truly stubborn person I’ve ever met), “independent” (all that’s been shown of her displaying independence is her holding a bar tending job, which she lost where I stopped in the book. Besides that, she’s taken the male protag’s generosity left and right. I’m not saying she’s not independent, I’m just saying I haven’t been shown she is), dedicated to her brother, from Brooklyn, and black-ish (ha. Or maybe she’s full black, I didn’t quite understand the flowery and evasive description of her skin color *shrugs*). Not much to go on. Where are her parents? How did her brother get into college? Why didn’t she try too after he went?
There could be so much more to this story than arctic sex scenes and occasional resolutionless chases. Hell, there might be. But after trudging through this I’ve decided I’ve got (potentially) better books to listen to.

It was ok...not great, but nice
The plot was ok and it flowed rather well, but the ending was super rushed. Like too many events colliding at once to get to the HEA. I think 20 more pages and an epilogue would have done the book a better justice than this ending did. Loved the characters... not too believable or realistic, but close enough to be relatable. All in all, it was an OK book.

Paying it forward
Viktor has to be the nicest billionaire ever. He remembers that he came from nothing and goes out of his way to help the less fortunate. He meets Alia when she witnesses a mob hit and is targeted by the killers. The book is way too long and the story could have been condensed. In addition, the book had many
typos. In spite of these issues the characters were engaging and I love Viktor.

What a protective and sweet cinnamon roll hero. Viktor was so sweet and wonderful and kind and loving and understanding… whew my heart melted… The plot was good. Had a good pace and some side characters. I liked that it was not only about the hero and the heroine. The best part was that he took her in and protected her even though he didn’t know anything about her… because “that was the right thing to do”. Where do I find me some like him? Where do I sign up for a guy like him?

I loved this title!!! It is a very sweet BWWM romance about a black woman suddenly thrown into the world of crime after witnessing a murder. It has great character development and explicit love scenes.

GOOD STORYLINE BUT !!!!!
I liked the storyline and characters in this book,but there needed to be a proof reader involved that is the only drawback for me. That said still not a bad read. Good job Ms. Westwood and thank you. 🙏👍

Too soft
Viktor was too soft. Russian dudes are
supposed to be bad a$$. This guy was not. Seriously working with cops. Not. Alia was ok. Kinda wishy washy.

This book was pretty good actually, I was expecting the worst because the reviews are not promising at all. However it was overall a good book. I think for some reason the characters seemed… simple I guess that the best way I know how to describe it.
Obvy the ending was a little… over the top unrealistic but hey it’s a book, you can make it whatever you want to make it.. there are no rules.
Actually thinking about it, I know what my probably was with this book. I was expecting the billionaire to be extremely alpha male… and that isn’t exactly what I got… he was a little more “understanding” than most of the billionaires that I read about which is probably why I felt he was a little underwhelming. However it’s not to say I disliked his characters.. I actually really did.
However… I was not a fan at all of Alia… she was either over the top independent or needed. Like pick a side, some of the things that she was offended about didn’t seem like a big deal at all.
Anywho good read.

This book...I only finished it because I had invested too much time in it. It wasn't a bad book, just not what I expected. I was hoping for a bad a$$ gun toting Alpha. What I got was the complete opposite. And Alia, she was okay, I wasn't complete annoyed with her. I think if I hadn't read an good Alpha male romances in the past, thus book would have been rated higher.
Alia was walking home from her job, when she witnessed a murder. While on the run for her life, she ends up in an exclusive night club.
Viktor is the Russian owner of the club, and takes a liking to Alia, and decides he's going to protect her. After spending some much time together, they end up falling for each other. Of course there's that pesky murder investigation and the attempt on her life, that keeps them from moving forward. All in all, it was enjoyable, but I'm not jumping for joy to read the second book in this series. I may take a day or two before I attempt Sacha.

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. Needs editing, but not unreadable. I did have to reread sections to understand what the author was saying ie the instead of than for live instead of life. Some of the sentences seemed like English is maybe not their primary language. I was letting it slide when Viktor spoke, but even then he lived in the states long enough he it seems he would have used proper English sentences. I did like the fact that when they spoke in Russian it was obvious what was being said. I did think some of the dialogue from Viktor did not fit his alpha character. With that said I did enjoy their love story. Sex scenes seemed rushed. Story does end with a HEA, but I felt like it just ended. I wanted a little more maybe an epilogue of something. Hopefully we get an update with the second book in the series.

This is the first time reading a novel by this author but not the last and I'm looking to read more. The story was just missing that piece of puzzle or edge to make it a book that I'd want to come back to. I thought that Vitkor & Alia relationship was not developed as it should be for the readers to invest into them. Vitkor character was strong alpha male and a really good guy so don’t get the wrong idea about him. He is her protector and he would do anything for her to keep her safe. I have read many Mafia story and this not a typical Mafia romance in no way. The dialogue and sex was repetitious and bland. There were several error mistake and definitely in need of an editor.The storyline was good and have great potential,. Overall, just OK if you can overlook the errors.

This book is an erotic romance.
Not for me, I wanted to strangle the female character, sorry.
Viktor started in America with three dollars and built a million dollar business all over the world with his night clubs. When a mocha beauty seeks refuge in his club due to her seeing a murder, he feels the sudden urge to not only protect her but to cherish.
Alia grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, the Bronx to be exact and with her skin and attitude she can take care of herself, until she is a witness to a murder and they want to tie up loose ends. It has been her and her brother so it is hard for her to believe this Russian god is her white night.

Danger finds Love...
This book was perfect, from the drama to action and best of all, love. It was beautiful how such a dangerous situation brought two people together!! I loved how Viktor was a person who poo believed in paying it forward, even for some stranger. By him being so kind to Alia was truly an Awhh moment that I loved. And the length he went to protect her was impeccable. What a real man!!! I'm glad the ending was the way it was; however, I want more, please!!!!! Their story needs to continue please!!!! I'm dying for more!!

Confusing and unrealistic
The storyline started out good but then it started going allover the place. The Russian mafia part was where it started getting confusing Victor and Alia were a intriguing couple but getting a singing contract when you have a price on your head is unrealistic. Victor getting a meeting with the head of the Russian mafia wearing a wire unrealistic and the story left. too much unfinished. It was just okay.
