Side character, Nikolai, Kirill’s brother makes regular appearances as the groundwork for the next book in pit into play. He was looking for her, loving her but also wanting revenge since he blames her for his life in the mafia, a life he never wanted.

The conclusion of this duet was a good one. Like others, I would have liked to see Kirill with the baby. However, given there are going to be more books in this world, I feel like there is g0ing to be a continuation of the story.You see my problem. But Atleast in this book he understood he was in the wrong and apologised but still refused to let her go if your sorry youd say im not good enough just go but no kiril could never😭😂 They'll just have to survive his brother and father to see if they can get past what they have done to each other. Do you want my child, Molly? Have I really trapped you this time?” - took his sweet time to realise why are you even questioning it when you KNOW the answer 😭 Oh, Kirill! Straight away, you can tell Kirill means business. He's been hardened by the life he has been made to lead because of a love he'd do anything to protect, only to lose it anyway. This leads Kirill to go to his dad for help a Bravata Don. Kirill has stayed away from his dad and wants nothing to do with him but he did it to protect Molly.

But he wants revenge first. So he treats her like an object for the entire first book. He refuses to sleep with her in his bed. Gives her a separate room. Makes her wear degrading things. He’s super cold and standoffish. He doesn’t want to open his heart to her again. So he does everything he can to keep her in her place. They don’t communicate or even really talk about themselves and the past 7yrs or what happened that night.EVERY situation between them is DRAGGED out to an extreme and once the situation is confronted they don’t communicate anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️😤 Almost DNF but that’s almost impossible for me once I start a read so I skimmed hoping it would connect with me or that my feeling would change and they didn’t. I see where the author wanted to go with this but it majorly missed the mark.

THEN he asks how she is still is a V…. She tells him that she saved herself for him cause she never wanted anyone but him. there was no way I’d marry someone other than Mallory. I’d kill us both before it came to that. ” he’s such a sociopath and not in a cute way 😭 First let me say many will love this read. It hits all the marks. ✨First loves, ✨heartbreak, ✨obsession, ✨2nd chance, ✨staking, ✨forced proximity, ✨OTT JP, ✨touch her and die, ✨a virgin FMC, ✨Mafia family drama and a ✨HEA. So this is why I still gave 2 stars. Honestly this has been such a good duet I couldn't put either book down and was well reading into the early hours of the morning!!! I can't wait to read other stories in this series I hope some of the secondary characters get a story.Liked the ending and how everything came together, liked that things between Kirill and Nikolai were left unresolved, for me that felt more real and also will lead into Nikos story with Sofia. If you hate your self then definitely read this and if you hate someone else then recommend them this 💀

Months pass and Kirill finally finds her and he's wanting her home and I mean he wants her home now! The man wants her as his wife and what Kirill wants he gets!!!! walking, and children were playing, somewhat dangerously, in the syringelittered sand of the beach. Tweakers and pimps wandered the boardwalk, If I loved anything I loved Nikolai he was funny and caring towards Molly he could have killed her but he took care of her. I loved every scene he was part of the fact that he was supposed to be the psychopath hurts my head when it is CLEARLY Kiril and Molly . Finally having Molly in his grasp again only to watch her leave him is the worst pain he's ever faced. He has no choice but to let her run again but he will find her and there will be no losing her ever again. In the meantime, he'll have to figure out how to deal with his brother and father. The reason why I even read the second book was because I can’t leave a series mid way if I could hell no I wouldn’t read this crap. Yes the second boook is wayyyyy better but it’s not good .Molly is his, and no one, even her, will tell him differently. While kirill is still the possessive Alpha, he now does things without the anger driving him. It's all about his love for Molly and keeping her safe. In this book, we get more of a glimpse into his brother, and you can tell he had just as bad, if not worse, a childhood as Kirill. These 2 are both broken little boys trying to fulfil the destiny that their father pushed on them. This is all they have now. And they are done with letting him c0ntrol them anymore. Im really not a fan of the secret pregnancy and the runaway scenario so that didnt endear me to her either and i was SO disappointed that she wasnt the one to tell Kirill she was pregnant in a sweet and private moment... that made me so mad because they had the perfect opportunity in the library the night before he found out, but she just never told him... why? Because she can't communicate.
