Baldeon
My name is Viktoriya Korolev and if you’re reading this then they’ve found me…
A hand across my mouth. A needle in my arm. I found myself in a filthy hovel far from home.
Where the men trade captives for money…but I’m worth more to them than money.
I’m worth power.
Only I can’t escape…until they drag him in beaten and bound.
I cling to him, needing his strength and in that room I find myself falling for him.
Dark eyes and a darker soul. I pin my hopes on him. This stranger who protects me from their fists with his body. The first chance I get, I do the unthinkable.
I set him free.
I’m the first son of the Baldeon blood line.
The name you don’t want spoken…especially where retribution is concerned.
So when some low-life scum thinks he can abduct me. You can be sure I’ll find out who they are.
But the beatings are relentless, and I’m alone…until she comes. This fierce woman who looks at me with haunted blue eyes. I know she’s Russian…and I also know she’s like me. A prisoner.
What I don’t know is who she is. Or why she’ll risk her life to help me.
When she gives me a chance of freedom, I do the only thing I can…I run.
But the agony in my chest drives me from my hospital bed.
It’s telling me she is more than who I think she is…
It’s telling me she is fate.
I don’t care who’s blood I spill…not even my own.
And I’ll go to the ends of Hell to save what’s mine.
Note: This is a stand-alone novella series in the Cosa Nostra World

This story was short, dark, random, and appallingly bad. I liked the premise of the story, but the execution of this was so poorly done, I'd be mad if I bought this. Thank fuck for KU. I equate this to a homework assignment left to the very last minute, no proofreading, and needing to be done within a set word limit. There were so many plot holes it was pretty amazing. There was no character/relationship development, no background info of the world, who the fuck the H was, abrupt ending, and the cherry on top (for me, anyway) wth happened to his fiancee? You could at least let us know if you've broken it off with her because you fell in love with someone else.... maybe?
The number of erroneous word usage on top of some sentences being incoherent was another amazing bit. It was like the author started a thought, got distracted, left, and forgot to complete the sentence all together. Or perhaps, the sentence was supposed to get deleted and the author got interrupted mid-deletion. If the author even had one person proofread this, a lot of errors would have been caught. It's quite appalling to expect people to pay for something that should clearly be a draft version, in my opinion.

His brother died on the island of the Cosa Nostra ,
Now it’s his turn, and his destiny seems to lie in the person who gives herself to save his life.
Lucius Baldeon has only just found out about his younger brothers death, not knowing what’s happening on the island, he does know that danger is stalking him.
When he’s ambushed, beaten and tortured he can only turn to the beautiful fellow captive who tends him Victoria .
Their journey seems to have so much more to run even at the end of the book, I look forward to hearing more from them.

Omg!
Where’s the rest??? There’s no mention of this book not being a stand alone. I’m disappointed with the way you ended the book. Not even an explanation after.

Iba tan bien, en serio, tenía todo para ser un gran libro para mi. Lo malo es que todo se apresuró, el libro es tan corto que todo termina siendo malo, no te explican nada, el pseudo romance ni siquiera se como salio de allí, no te explican nada. Y ese maldito final ¿en serio?

Great start for a new serie.
The h was a rock star! Loved her character!
Not fan of the H, he was a little naive, going unarmed and not being more suspicious...

The storyline is goid but surely 2 authors can get the grammar and typos ironed out!
Come on, ladies! The storylines are great! The drama is enticing. The romance against the dark is fantastic.... but surely one, if not both, of you, or your beta or ARC team could help you with the typos and grammar. Repeated phrases. Incorrect or omitted words. Changes in 'person' mid sentence.
PLEASE work on that, so I can 5 star your work.

Not the typical Mafia Romance
This was a fast paced romance minus the typical alpha-hole hero. Lucious wasn't hard hearted or immune to fear. Viktoria wasn't gorgeous and unflawed (though still a virgin).
This book lost a star for all it's grammatical problems. Enough to distract from the story and have to read the sentence over again
Check for triggers. There are brutal beatings of both men and women, criminal elements, and sex trafficking.

Great read. Poor Editing!
The story is passionate! But the poor work of whomever is to read and edit the writing is pitiful! Please, I beg the authors who are good at storytelling to get people who will actually read their work and make edits! I am not perfect, nor grammatically correct, but every single page easy to see/read errors!

Not much was given about the characters in this story. Too many questions and no answers were provided about anything. What caused everything to happen here? Why, why, why? A good read, but not enough.

Baldeon
This was a seriously intense story with some definite triggers for some readers - so beware. I can’t say I enjoyed it as that is not the nature of the story but I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know.

really good
Very well written mafia story. Holy hell the extreme violence baldeon and Victoria went through was horrible. Not for the faint of heart.

Nasty but moving
This is not a happy book. It is full of shadowy characters that we don't get to know well. The bad guys are really bad and relentless.

This was an interesting read about Lucius and Viktoryia. They met while being held captive and this is their journey. The ending was too abrupt…will there be a sequel even if it’s a novella to finish up the loose ends?
