when there’s a knife to throat scene and he just gets turned on bc she’s trying to kill him 🫨
going through bianca’s backlist and saw this series was set in nyc … as a new yorker you already know i had to pick this up as my next read 😩
this is a dark mafia romance, super quick read, bdsm themes, trafficking, slave, revenge plot, misunderstanding, assassin fmc, filthy smut, and duo pov 🖤
after the death of her whole family, vera spent many years training for the day she gets to kill the man that ruined her whole life. she worked with her uncle and learned how to become a submissive slave for the auction. when it came time to be bought, the drive to get her revenge falters when she comes face to face with him. andrei 😮💨 this man is the ruthless pakhan of the new york brotherhood. he is known to be unforgiving and doesn’t have any softness in him. he is all of that but also knows who raised him, who he is, and where his morals lies. he keeps up his hard image by buying a girl every year at the auction. but he never fucks and discards. he offers them a choice between being his submissive or creating a new life for themselves with his help. when he meets vera, he didn’t know her true intentions was to kill him for killing her family. he just wanted her all to himself even if she chose not to be his, he would find a way to be in her life no matter what 🤭
these two quickly fell for each other !! it was super fast paced so i wished there was just a bit more character development for both mcs. i felt that it was just too rushed and the connection wasn’t really there. but you can just see how many these two love each other after all they’ve overcame 🥹 vera learns the truth about what happened to her family. and andrei got his revenge for what happened to his father. i absolutely adore them !! i can’t wait to continue to series omg
