Bad Russian #7
Dimitri Driven
I’ll do whatever it takes to save her. Then I’ll make her mine.
How can I resist him when he’s so much man?
I always laughed at men who get trapped by love. I dismissed them as weak. Now my fate is bound to this curvy beauty and I’m stepping into the snare.
I’ll do anything to make her safe. She has no idea what danger she’s in. But how can I keep from falling for her when she’s so perfect?
I’m in his power and I like it. How can he be so impossibly hot?
I know an older man like him wouldn’t be interested in a curvy girl like me, but I’m burning to know what goes on inside that deliciously expensive suit.
I shouldn’t feel the way that I do, but he’s just too much man!
Smolder and steam and plenty of action, with no cheating and a Happy Ever After ending guaranteed. You’ll let go and open up with shudders and long sighs. Dimitri will push you to the ledge and over. Over and over.

This is the 7th book in this series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Dimitri is an assassin and he is supposed to kill Chrissy, a college student. He saves her from a hit and run and kidnaps her to find out the truth. Will she tell him her secrets? Fast-paced read with lots of steam. I really liked the characters and the story is action-packed with lots of steam. A good read.

A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

This is the seventh book in the Bad Russian series and is a stand-alone story. I love these stories because it is always a strong, dominant Russian male who knows that there is One special woman out there that will complete them. They won't settle for second best, but they will continue to grow their businesses until they are billionaires and waiting for their One. In this series, the guys are older, 30s-40s and have since concluded that they may never find their One, but they still won't settle for just any of the millions of women who throw themselves at these sexy billionaire Russians.
In this installation of hotness, you have Chrissy who is an American Art and Music student. She can either refurbish an old classic painting or play cello with any orchestra world-wide. She is one place that she shouldn't be. She is on a hit list for our man Dimitri as his last hit before retirement.
When Dimitri gets his intel on his last hit before retirement, he knows that someone, someone high up, has swapped this American student's info with the info of the real hit. He just doesn't know how far up the corruption is so he doesn't know who to contact to get things straightened out. He just knows that not only is Chrissy an innocent, he knows that she is HIS. He needs to get her to a safe-house until he can straighten things out. He also knows that if he doesn't do the hit in a certain time, then his name will be on the hit list too. While at one of his own safe-houses, he starts to unwind the mystery, when they are found. They are on the run again. When he finds out that she is an agent too, and her assignment is to take him out, they really need to figure things out.

Dimitri Driven is the 7th installment in the Bad Russian Series and it is jam packed with dramatic romance and a love everlasting between two perfectly crafted characters. Ms. Alice May Ball has truly outdone herself with the release of this impressive Series.
This Russian is given two days to carry out his mission, however, something doesn't feel right, when it comes to the honest, bouncy and beautiful Chrissy. She is amazing in her own right but the secret that she doesn't know she's hiding is one she needs to share now that her life is in danger. These two fiery hot individuals are about to embark on a journey that will push them together, right where they long to be. Instant chemistry and lust, however, none of that matters when their lives are in jeopardy.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced readers copy of Dimitri Driven in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this book, as well as the Series as a whole.
Congratulations to Ms. May Ball. Please keep these releases coming.

This was a quick paced, fun to read novella. The characters were developed nicely with personality, background, determination, emotion, passion, chemistry, and heart. Ms. Ball drew the reader into the story right from the opening of the novella and maintained their attention with twists, drama, and passion throughout.
Dimitri was a Russian spy who work off docieys that he recieved. When he got one with Chrissy as the target, he instinctively knew something was not right. After saving her from an attempted hit and run, he abducted and interrogated her. When they finally realized that they were intended to eliminate each other, it was too late. Chrissy had already REALLY messed up! If she had only listened to Dimitri.
Would they that be the end for them? Would they have an opportunity to delve deeper into their chemistry and passion - to find their HEA? Get your copy today and find out if they make out unscathed.

Hitman vs secret agent... who comes out on top?
Dimitri Driven is the seventh book in the Bad Russian series and is about Dimitri and Chrissy. This is a fast moving, insta-love story between an older Alpha Russian hitman and a young beautiful and very talented young American woman. it is his last job before he retires and he is supposed to kill her. But when he attempts to take Chrissy so he can interrogate and then kill her a SUV comes along and almost hits them. So who is the target - Chrissy or Dimitri? Instead of completing his job Dimitri instead decides to protect Chrissy. But does she really need protection or is she more than what she appears to be?
This story was interesting and the author added in an interesting twist at the end. There was a lot of heat and chemistry between the character but not a lot of sexy times, so a bit of a let down with that. Otherwise it is a fun book to pick up and read for a couple of hours.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the seventh book in the Bad Russian series. In this book, Dimitri is a Russian spy who has been given an assignment to kill Chrissy, but he thinks it is a mistake, so he decides to kidnap her. Chrissy has information that Dimitri wants, but she doesn't know what it is. Dimitri is very attracted to Chrissy and he wants to protect her and claim her for himself. Chrissy wants to be with Dimitri, but she is unsure if she can trust him. There is a twist to this story and it adds to the danger and action. I liked this book, i liked Dimitri and thought he really did care for Chrissy. I think Dimitri was surprised that not everything was as it seemed. Good one.

Can’t put my finger on exactly why, but once I started I could not put this down! The plot and genre were not unique, but somehow the author wrote it in a way that captivated me. For a short story, it read like an intriguing spy movie. Full of suspense, drama, and lots and lots of romance.
Dimitri’s POV was written so well, descriptive but not boring, complex but easy to follow. Most of all it gave a good overview on his character and life up until he met Chrissy.
I also loved the way the author had Chrissy being more than she seemed. A bit of tension throughout as to who could be trusted.
Very enjoyable and entertaining.

Another great fun quick read in this great fun Bad Russian series each book is a stand alone so can be read in any order but do yourself a favour read them all
Dimitri is doing his last job as a hitman but something seems wrong why would he need to take out an art major who plays the Cello. This is the first time he has ever questioned a contract he has been given Maybe that is because he is inexplicable drawn to Chrissy The thing is is Chrissy all that she seems or is there more to this student than meets the eye. When danger threatens them both they will have to work together if they are to survive and in the process their love will burn bright enough to destroy all who try to destroy them.

This is the seventh book in the Bad Russian series. Each book is a short novella that can be read as a standalone, but they all have the same basics, older hot Russian and younger naive-ish girl who falls for him. Dimitri gets a job that doesnt make sense to him, he is supposed to kill young Chrissy. She is not his usual target, and while he is following her he ends up saving her from danger. He has to get to the bottom of this, so he kidnaps Chrissy in order to interrogate her. There's a total surprise with Chrissy that I didnt see coming at all. Its insta love, crazy silly romance.

Dimitri aka Boris has been sent on a mission to eliminate a target, but he knows that something is wrong. He does his own checking and knows it a setup.
This young girl can not be his target.
This book was a roller coaster from start to finish. He has to stay one or two step ahead of the people that are coming after them, but who wants whom dead.
This older man has never looked for love, in his line of business it would not be safe.. But something about this young woman calls to him, and he will make her his...

Dimitri Driven is my favorite of the Bad Russian Series so far. Alice May Ball threw a twist I did not see coming which I give a well done to her. Usually I see things coming, this I did not. In my opinion if you are an Alice May Ball fan she did not disappoint me. Towards the middle things got a little confusing for me. I liked Chrissy she was surprising for me, she was strong and intelligent. Dimitri was pretty predictable for me but I was okay with that. This is a fun, fast read. I really enjoyed it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader's copy.

A quick fast paced read. The characters are all developed and well written. The 7th book in this series and it was good read. Alice writes characters that you can fall in love with and who you want to see last. Her writing style is exquisite as she knows how to write OTT stories with a kick to them. I LOVE THESE QUICKIES!

A riveting short read that is fast pace, action-packed, and exciting! The twists and turns, ups and downs, suspense, secrets, witty banter, and danger make for an incredible read. The characters are well developed, and believable; the chemistry between them is intense, instant, and off the charts. Definitely recommended.

I love this series by Alice May Ball. Each book has an older, alpha hunk and a younger, inexperienced girl. Insta love at it's finest! Dimitri and Chrissy's story was fast paced, with some twists and turns, and intense chemistry. Each one of these books have been great reads.

Dimitri is given an assignment. His files are pictures of a girl, Chrissy. He believes that she is the wrong target. Twists and turns and sexual tension makes this a pretty good book. The characters have chemistry but they also have to learn to trust each other.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this quick story about Dimitri and Chrissy. The story is about him trying to get his mark but becomes distracted when Chrissy is put in the path. A dark story with a happy ending for them m

An action-packed, insta-love romance story featuring one alpha driven older man and a curvy younger woman. The chemistry is off-the-charts and there's so much heat, you'll be left in a puddle of lust.

I normally love anything Russian mafia related, but I found it hard to connect with this story. She was his target, but confusion was set in place and the tables started to turn when he found himself wanting to protect her rather than kill her. Ok quick read.

An easy to read story with almost instant love connection.
This last job for russian bratva is a big problem to Dmitri or Boris. He just can not understand how a so innocent girl could be so dangerous.
