I made the mistake of picking this book up to read after lunch, intending to read a few chapters before going on with my day - what a mistake that turned out to be! I could not put it down and found myself reading long after I should have stopped。, in fact, I didn't stop until I'd finished it in the early hours of the following morning! Rian is a wonderfully drawn character, the storyline was so well developed I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book, and then when I did finish it sle I made the mistake of picking this book up to read after lunch, intending to read a few chapters before going on with my day - what a mistake that turned out to be! I could not put it down and found myself reading long after I should have stopped。, in fact, I didn't stop until I'd finished it in the early hours of the following morning! Rian is a wonderfully drawn character, the storyline was so well developed I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book, and then when I did finish it sleep was denied me as I found myself still wrapped up in his and Renata's story。 Renata's character is strong, she's needed to be with the life she'd led from seeing her father an Italian mafia Don killed when she was only five! Then having to suffer abuse from every man she's ever known her brother who should have protected her amongst the worst of them, he even sold her in marriage to an abuser so it's not surprising that she doesn't trust men。 Now some twenty years after her father's death Kian is still trying to find and kill her brother when they meet again。 Kian and Renata find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other despite their differences but will attraction and chemistry be enough to ensure a future for them? To find out if or how you will have to read this fantastic book yourself。 。。。more

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review。 The Kovalyov Bratva series about the O'Sullivan brothers has been one page turner after another。 Kian and Renata have a story full of tragedy, abuse, family, strength and love。 These two have a couple of decades of history that is far from pleasant。 It began with rival families and her witnessing him kill her father。 Now they are thrown back in each others path thanks to her brother。 He first sees her as a means to an end bu I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review。 The Kovalyov Bratva series about the O'Sullivan brothers has been one page turner after another。 Kian and Renata have a story full of tragedy, abuse, family, strength and love。 These two have a couple of decades of history that is far from pleasant。 It began with rival families and her witnessing him kill her father。 Now they are thrown back in each others path thanks to her brother。 He first sees her as a means to an end but things change。 She has known him as one of the devils in her life but that changes also。 Two people who should never be together find an undeniable attraction。 I really enjoyed this book as much as the others。 The age difference did not bother me because obviously their pasts prove love is blind。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Loved the story of Renata and Kian。 Twenty years ago Kian killed everyone that was in Renata's family home except for Renata and her brother Drago。 Drago wants revenge for his family because he lost the rights to the family fortune and for him to take over as Don after his father but that was not the case instead he really messed with Renata and sold her to a man that treated her just as bad。 Kian met again the chemistry, the heat the sense of feeling safe only to try and stay away。 I really got Loved the story of Renata and Kian。 Twenty years ago Kian killed everyone that was in Renata's family home except for Renata and her brother Drago。 Drago wants revenge for his family because he lost the rights to the family fortune and for him to take over as Don after his father but that was not the case instead he really messed with Renata and sold her to a man that treated her just as bad。 Kian met again the chemistry, the heat the sense of feeling safe only to try and stay away。 I really got emotionally involved while reading loved the story。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This is definitely a hot, risqué story from the start!

It is a well thought out storyline with strong characters and a fantastic plot。 A definite must have if you love age-gap or mafia romances。 I loved everything about this book。 A fiery romance well worth the cost! 。。。more

This is Renata and Kian’s story。 Renata is the daughter of a Don and was just a 5-year-old little girl when she witnessed Kian brutal killing her household, while covered in blood。 Now 20 years later life has been tough for Renata being brought up by her sadistically cruel older brother, who she is now currently hiding from。 Now Kian is the Don in America for his Irish heritage and has an Italian apprentice。 When Kian and Renata cross paths she is stubborn and a little spitfire and looks at him This is Renata and Kian’s story。 Renata is the daughter of a Don and was just a 5-year-old little girl when she witnessed Kian brutal killing her household, while covered in blood。 Now 20 years later life has been tough for Renata being brought up by her sadistically cruel older brother, who she is now currently hiding from。 Now Kian is the Don in America for his Irish heritage and has an Italian apprentice。 When Kian and Renata cross paths she is stubborn and a little spitfire and looks at him with hate filled eyes。 Kian has certainly bet his match with Renata, as she challenges him at every turn, and the attraction between them is explosive and undeniable。 This is a well written story which is filled with emotions, drama, betrayal, twists, mystery, suspense, danger, and mystery, which all leads to a thrilling and riveting page turner。 I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend。 。。。more

This is my first book for this author and I was entranced by the warring dons and tensions between characters。 Kian and Renata have explosive chemistry and a battle of wits seems to follow whenever they are in close proximity。 Renata is tired of being a pawn but can she get out from being under a man’s thumb?I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Renata watched as Kian killed her father and her life did not get easier, her brother is cruel but when she sees Kian and she is all grown up now, sparks fly。 Still strong even after all she has been through, her and Kian make a formidable pair。 This is a fast-paced mafia read with loads of drama, suspense and steam。 Great characters with lots of depth, sizzling chemistry and a story that draws you in from beginning to end。 I loved it!

Beginning and endings。This is Kiam’s story。 It starts when he’s avenging a rape and murder (only the daughter’s name changed from Corinne to Aisling in that same scene)。 It also is the day he meets Renata, as he has just killed her pops。 Twenty years later, she’s been raised to hate him。 They have chemistry to spare, more vendettas and mafia drama stuffed in to an action packed book。Recommend。

WOW, WOW, WOW! I have to say I am loving this series by Nicole Fox。 I know this is a standalone, but to go forward 20 years and bring Kian into the mix, this was perfect!

I have to say I am loving this series by Nicole Fox。 I know this is a standalone, but to go forward 20 years and bring Kian into the mix, this was perfect! I loved seeing what happened with Artem and Cillian families and how they all came together。 And then the fact that Artem’s son Phoenix is learning the ropes from Uncle Kian is something else。 This is the story of Kian and Renata。 Renata is the daughter of Dom Lombardi who Kian happened to kill in front of her when she was 5 years old。 Renata at the time was not afraid of Kian and felt at peace with him。 Fast forward 20 years and Renata has been through hell – her brother (Drago) raised her and it was not all sunshine and roses growing up。 Drago manipulated the situation with Renata and he not only mentally abused her, he also physically abused her。 Drago made sure that Renata knew the O’Sullivan family was evil and they were the reason why they were always on the run。 However, Renata was also a little spitfire and had determined if she wanted her freedom, no man was going to help her, she had to help herself。 Renata and Kian had this banter going on – they were both attracted to each other, but knew it was wrong and would never work。 Renata put up one hell of fight the entire time。 But what happens when you can’t go through with your original plan? And just how far is Renata and Kian willing to go? Great story with great characters。 I’m a little sad this series is over, but I am really hoping that maybe a story with Phoenix will come out next!!
