Crime Kings #6
Forced Vows
Griffin Dark worked his way up from the gutters and gained a deadly reputation before becoming the Crime King of New York. He reluctantly agrees an arranged marriage is the key to ending the war brewing around him, but believes his life doesn’t have to change as he and his bride will be connected in name only. However, after one look at his soon-to-be-wife he knows that will never be enough.
Harlow Petrov was born and raised within the Russian Bratva, so she’s no stranger to the dangerous life nor the expectations that come with being who she is. When her ailing father plans her future without her consent, she vows to make the best of it, but Griffin is more than she could have ever bargained or prepared for.
As they work to unite their empires, they must face enemies that want to destroy it all. Will they succeed or will internal conflict break Griffin and Harlow apart first?

If none of those float your boat, you might want to find another book. If they do, you're in the right place

Crime Kings
I have to admit that the Crime Kings is one of my favorite series and this one did not disappoint.
-no cheating
-no ow/om drama
-some pushing away - 4 month separation
-safe neither with others after meeting
-no violence of a sexual nature
-great epilogues

This was a good read. I enjoyed the continuation of 'Crime Kings.'
In this story our New York Crime King is Griffin Dark. He reluctantly agrees to an arranged marriage that will help to end the war brewing around him as others are trying to take over his New York territory. His old friend and business associate, Victor whom he loves like a father, has just told him he wants him to marry his daughter so they can join forces. He said he was willing but he isn't thrilled about it. He has had nothing to do with women. In fact, it has been at least a decade since he has thought of a woman romantically, so ten years or more celibate. He was not a man-whore and if I understood correctly he had not been with many.
Harlow Petrov was born and raised in the Russian Bratva (mob) and she is her father's right hand woman. Her father, Viktor, is suffering from terminal cancer and has chosen the man for her to marry who he is certain will protect her and stand by her side as they both work together to join the New York and Russian Bratva. She is also not thrilled but will do anything for her beloved father.
When the two meet they are very pleased with what they see. They marry before Viktor passes away but when Victor dies Harlow is so shook up and broken-hearted that she disappears without a word. It takes Griffin four months to find her. Griffin has been beside himself but he finally has word of his whereabouts.
Will this marriage survive their time apart? They were only together a very short time before she ran away?

4.5 stars
I can’t imagine what Foster must have gone through when he thought he lost Annabelle forever. How he didn’t blow his brains out is beyond me. I’m not ashamed to admit if Harlow was killed, that’s more than likely what I would do, unable to go on without her.
Great continuation of the Crime Kings series. Action packed with insta-love and alpha heroes who only have eyes for their women.
-virgin h, celebate H
-no abuse
-no cheating
-insta-love
-HEA
-great epilogues at 5 years & 10 years
Can't wait for the next book in this series. I'm always anxious to read about the secondary characters that she teases us with.

This is the 6th book in this great series and is Griffin and Harlow’s story. Griffin is the Crime King, and in order to end that war brewing around him, he agrees to an arranged marriage to Harlow. No spoilers; this is a must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story which had me hooked and intrigued throughout, and I recommend for all.

A Bratva princess and a mob king?! Im sold! Solid!! Nothing excites me more than a badass h. Butttt, this book didnt really show how badass the h was; well, atleast, not enough to sate my hunger. Yes the h was the H equals, but i wanted to see more action and the h being kickass. There's a tiny itsy bit of action near the end, for a quick twist; and that's all.

Better and better
I swear each book in this series just keeps getting better and better! Griffin and Harlow are both strong-minded, fierce and loyal people. They join forces in an arranged marriage but as soon as they see each other sparks are flying. I love them and their story! ♥️

Griffin has agreed with viktor to enter into an arranged marriage unsure who with.
Harlow is following her father’s wishes but isn’t sure it’s right but her love for him has her agreeing.
Has Griffin met his match?
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Quick read

Their father dying was super sad. But the siblings did it together. The lead characters were perfect, too funny that Griffin didn’t like paper but the Harlow came in to save he day. Love the epilogues, the series is great and a must read

I didn’t like this one as much as the first but still loving the insta love, possessive hero, and strong heroine!

Griffin and Harlow are HOT! One alpha male, one equally alpha female definitely made for an interesting read. Harlow kept Griffin on his toes, and much like a woman was always a few steps ahead. Love it!
