"Mafiya enforcer Aleksei "The Siberian" Sevastyan's loyalty to his boss knows no bounds, until he meets the boss's long-lost daughter, a curvy, feisty redhead who haunts his mind and heats his blood like no other. Ordered to protect her, Aleksei will do anything to possess her as well--on his own wicked terms. Grad student Natalie Porter had barely recovered from her first sight of the dark and breathtaking Sevastyan before the professional enforcer whisks her away to Russia, thrusting her into a world of extreme wealth and wanton pleasures. Every day under his protection leads her deeper under his masterful spell. Yet all is not as it seems. To remove Natalie from an enemy's reach, Sevastyan spirits her into hiding. From an opulent palace in Russia to the decadent playgrounds of the mega-wealthy in Paris, the two lovers will discover that even their darkest--and most forbidden--fantasies can come true..."--Amazon.com.… (more)

My 1st erotic mafia romance! Natalie has been searching for her biological parents her entire life and is pleasantly surprised when a drop dead dangerous Russian has the information she needs. Sevastyan works for Natalie's biological mob boss father and has been watching her for the boss. Practically kidnapping her and taking her to Russia she meets her father. Unanswered questions and getting to know her father has Natalie living in a mansion and being tempted by Sevastyan. The chemistry between them with the utter lust and forbidden factor heat things up. He introduces her to things she never knew she liked and unleashes something in both of them that they can't control. ( )

I liked this book, but I did not love it. The plot was OK. For me, the story and characters needed to be better developed. I wished that the story had started in Russia with Svastyan and then moved on to the US. Maybe some details about him stalking Natalie and how he comes to fall for her would have helped the story.

In addition, I found numerous errors (more than a dozen). I am NOT an editor, but I am very good at finding missing words and word order problems, because I have to read every single word, and being the detail person I am…. It drives me crazy!

If you can ignore the copy errors, and you like hot steamy sex, then you will like this book. Otherwise, I suggest you find something else. ( )

Contemporary Romance. Aleksandr mafia enforcer and Natalie, longlost mafia princess. Not even close to her IAD series. OK-

I've spent years studying Russia, and the language. So, when I saw this book I decided it was worth a shot, even though it was not in a genre I normally read.

That said, this was a story that draws the reader in from the first chapter. It was quite the interesting story, and kept me engrossed to the last word! ( )
