I didn't like this book. I usually enjoy books written by this author. I waited for this book, because I love mafia romance. This book was a big disappointment. Rack and Ruel's relationship was very weird. I know that they were twins but, their relationship was borderline incestuous. Come on the guys married and he calls his sister to discuss personal marriage problems. This happens throughout the book. He is also overprotective and it's explained away by saying that he made a promise to his mother to look out for his sister. What? I know that some brothers are protective of their sisters but this was just a little too extra for me. Then there was Nicholai and Rack's relationship. I like instant love romance, but this didn't work for me. The characters were underdeveloped. The storyline was predictable. I was expecting an alpha male mafia leader type. Instead, I got an ex-mafia whining billionaire type. Rack wasn't any better. At first she seems to be an independent modern woman. Yet, we see her character falling short in this department. She comes across childlike in this story. I would find myself wondering if her character had a disability. This way of thinking isn't helped because of her brother acting the way he does. This book is a definite no for me.
Sometimes the sins of a parent really do try to come for the child!
Nickolai was forced to take over his family business at the death of his parents. I guess what I have always heard has some truth in that it was difficult to bifurcate oneself from the mafia be it through your involvement or that of family members. That is another reason I like these Members from Money characters because they are so astute that their adversaries cannot seem to best them. Another thing I love about this group of very handsome billionaires is that their hearts are always captured by beautiful smart intelligent Black women some of means and some not but their personalities seem to be what each of these men are looking for. Let us not forget that they find a passion with each other that is insurmountable. So once again another very, very good Members from Money story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Another great job Katie yes indeed another really great job.
Its ok..I guess?😳 The sex was just too quick for me and it was all about that for perhaps the first third of the book? Raquel was unbelievable. Instant heat..despite the previous mistakes. Uhhh..no. I get Nicholais' reticence..but what kind of woman just goes with that and then pouts and cries about what she agreed too. And really no one should be painted as so naive not to have a clue as to why Nickolai stayed out of touch after knowing about the issues with some of his family. Like for real?!?😑 The problems with Nickolai's opponents was wrapped up too quickly and neatly. I know this is fantasy fiction and all but its just a little too far fetched. Ok, Next!
Simone, you are so right when you said : love will change a woman. A woman who is in love and knows that she is loved can move mountains! Nickolai was in hard position & he didn’t want to endanger her, could he call ?! probably… but he wasn’t in position to explain all . In the mid time, Racquel was pining and trying to get over an moved on. What meant to be will be … what’s the odds of Nickolai meeting Racquel, they lived in two different worlds?! For his plane to crash not too far from her lodge and fir her and her brother to even find and rescued him was a miracle in itself. Fatewas definitely at play! LOVED IT! Ps. was hoping for an epilogue 😔
Okay first thing first! Rack brother was getting on my nerves! The way he was acting, you’d think he & Rack was together. He was DOING TOO MUCH! He couldn’t let her live her own life how she wanted too. So many times I said, “would you stfu” it was that bad! I’m happy Rack & nick got their happily ever after. Their chemistry flowed through the pages of this book! I’m happy Nick was able to get the people who were after him! & he made his way back to Rack! I enjoyed this book so much & was sad when it ended! 😭 great job to the author! She doesn’t disappoints.
Nickolai: BWWM, Russian Native, Billionaire Romance by Katie Dowe
Obviously I love this series of books by Katie Dowe this book is no different. Nichols has everything attempted murder, accidents, jealousy, love and lust. Nickolai meets the woman of his dreams after and accident and she nursed him back to health but her brother is so protective and tries to interfere but the chemistry is so hot between them it could burn up your reading device. So you will just have to read the book. Absolutely for readers 18 and above read the book!
I really enjoyed reading this book! I am so in love with Nickolai! Lol. He and Raquel had this steamy hot chemistry going on that had me jealous. Her twin brother, Ruel, was so over protective of her, it almost seemed like he didn't want her with anyone. But, his wife, Simone, put her foot down and gave him an ultimatum! I don't blame her! He needed to stay out of Raquel's relationship and worry about his own! I think everyone who reads this book will enjoy it. I definitely recommend this book!
This book was a great read for me and I have no negative comments, but a concerned comment. I thought that Racquel's twin brother Ruel seemed a little too angry about her love life. I understood where his wife was coming from with accusing him of loving his sister more than her. I would recommend this book to all who like men who takes control and leaves you well satisfied. I gave five stars because I read this book in a day, because the storyline kept me wanting to know what's going to happen next.
I have read this author many times. This one has a lot of words missing wrong tenses and some words spelled incorrectly which is unusual but I still enjoyed it. The wrap up with the two mafia brothers was a little unbelievable. I mean come on we're dealing with the Russian Mafia for goodness sake. They're trying to stay out of jail not walk right into one. So I guess it had a few issues but I always look forward to the new releases from this series.
Racquel and Ruel’s sibling relationship was a bit too much, but you have got to love it. Now that his sister has found the love of her life, perhaps he will be able to enjoy his own, I know Simone will. I was disappointed in Nickolai. There is really no excuse for him to not have contacted Racquel after he left her. He was publicly photographed with an ex and her life could have been in danger, so I did not buy into his excuses.
Have read a lot of books this by this author and the use of the word darling in most of her books is used entirely too much. But the word honey in this book, the brother and sister keep calling each other was over the top. Honey was used entirely too much between them. But over all, Rack and Nickolai story was enjoyable despite the missed words and spelling.
Another great and amazing romance novel Katie Dowe!!!! I enjoyed reading the love story of Nickolai and Raquel. It contains drama, betrayal, hope, dreams, deception, murder, hate, intrigue, loneliness, kindness, kindred spirits, and finding true love. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know!!!
I love each one of Katie Dowe books, but as I have come to find out as I have read several books, what is up with the publishing company typing of all the errors. I mean you have to decipher what the writer is writing!!
I enjoyed the storyline between Nickolai and Racquel. There was real chemistry between these two. Racquel's twin was very overprotective of her but he was not interested in seeing her hurt. I enjoyed the suspense with the characters and loved how everything got worked out.
This was truly a wonderful story about siblings. Ruae was so clingy to his twin sister. But Niclolai was a man who truly in love with Racquael What's For You will be for you.
Msn Dowe has done it again, another great read. I love her work and its a great pleasure to pick up one of her book's to read, a great source of entertainment. I recommend.
Katie Dowe never disappoints 🙌🏽and in Nickolai she ✍🏼 a steamy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥filled, sweet, tender romance that make you wish you were Racquel. I love this 📖, but wish it had an epilogue so I could get a glimpse of their HEA🤗
Another beautiful story from Katie. Nickolia and Racquel is is a beautiful love story that will keep you reading from page one to the end without stopping.
