I'm a proud Texan who's crazy about football. I've always had a knack for writing, whether it is poems or stories. I originally studied psychology in college and feel that it's added to my passion for writing flawed characters. 

When I'm not in my writing cave, I'm busy playing with my three Doberman Pinschers. I love to donate to help animals and watch a good action movie. #SupportOurTroops

Carnal Addiction😈

Callie is due a holiday and she braves her anxiety to meet with her bestie in Vegas. Upon arrival, she meets a man who takes her breathe away and vice versa…Mikhail pulls out all the stops to ensure he wins her over❣️Unfortunately, he holds a few secrets that he worries will make or break their connection😢

A steamy and medium-dark level of Mafia to be expected in this story❣️I enjoyed this story and received an advanced copy which I voluntarily leave my honest review for🤩

Short,steamy and intense! It’s complete insta-love so if that’s not for you, this book isn’t what u will want to read. I don’t normally like insta love stories but that aside it was a quick read for me and was enjoyable. The characters are likable and it had a neat storyline. Callie overcomes her anti social, anxiety ridden tendencies when she is tossed into a quick Vegas weekend with her bestie and is pursued by a Bratva Mafia man who pulls out all the stops to have her and keep her. The story comes together quickly but doesn’t feel like it’s missing anything and is a complete stand alone no cliff hanger.

If you are new to the Russian mafia book world, Carnal Addiction is a great place to start. Sapphire Knight introduces you to Mikhail Ivanovich a Bratva boss and casino owner who has been searching for "the one". Callie is an anxiety filled writer who is taking her first real vacation in years. After their first meeting, in an elevator, Mikhail sets his sights on Callie and the steamy journey begins.

Part of the Dark Regin world, Carnal Addiction is a standalone with wonderful characters that will leave you wanting to explore this world even more.

Instalove with a bit of Mafia thrown in. Callie meets up with her bestie in Vegas for a long overdue vacation and one encounter with mafia boss Mikhail in an elevator and she finds herself unexpectedly claimed. Mikhail is a bit over the top but he knows what he wants and while Callie loves the smexy times, and the courting and attention, she is unsure of how fast things are moving. I really enjoyed this story, it lacked a bit of depth but it was the palate cleanser that I needed and will read more from this author.

Mikhal and Callie have a tension and danger filled story. This is a darkish mafia romance with violence and danger that come with the Bratva. The attraction and chemistry between these two is instant. I like the strength Callie shows and how she did get cave to Mikhal at certain points. I really like Mikhal and is loyalty to family. This made for an excellent one sitting read.

Totally addictive

A feisty heroine & and an over the top protective, hot mafia boss... What more could you want? A fast paced, great storyline with a few fun twists & turns along the way! Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys steamy romance between two highly addictive characters.

Loved it 💞

This book was so easy to get into, it had amazing characters including a OTT possessive mafia H who swept the h off her feet. I found myself chuckling and laughing out loud on and off through most of this book. I loved it. I will definitely be reading more from this series.

Callie and Mikhail

This was an exciting bratva romance. Mikhail
is a mobster in Las Vegas and meets her in an elevator and whispers promises in her ear!!
There’s action and romance and interesting secondary characters.
I just wished the epilogue would have ended with a child of their own.

So good

Callie and Mikhail there story was so good and so hot the attraction was instant from the first meeting. Mikhail is part of the bravata and callie is a widowed writer. There book was perfect. Sapphire Knight never fails to amaze me with the books she writes

Happy New Year!

Starting this new year off with one of my favorite tropes! Insta love! Sapphire Knight doesn't disappoint. An instant connection between characters. Just what I needed. Fast paced love story? Please and thank you!

[Cookie McJingles · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really wanted to like this story, but I felt like it dropped the ball in places. Admittedly, this is a series, and I found this and thought the blurb was interesting. If you are a jealous/possessive hero fan, this might be up your alley.
2.5 🌟

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book started off great but for me however quickly declined. I wanted more from it, and how she just accepted everything from him so quickly was quite unbelievable. Just my taste, I guess I like my mafia books a with a little more fight in them.
