amara has been forced into an arranged marriage with a suitor of her abusive misogynistic pig of a father’s choice, It can be readed as a standalone . I liked Nikolai but the story in 4# book ( his brother Dmitri and Claudia is way darker and more to my taste. something very surprising and refreshing was that they didn’t have sex on their first night and when eventually did, well it wasn’t gentle or sweet or slow😌🥵🔥

There is something just so consumable about Jenika Snow books- how the insane chemistry and insta love blossoms into an addictive romance. She has a keen ability to right dark and dangerous men that would die for their ladies- swoony only when it comes to their women. And Nikolai Petrov is the perfect alpha psycho boyfriend- a ruthless and terrifying mafioso manipulating his world just how he likes it for the power and legacy of his family….and this includes an arranged marriage with young and innocent Amara and a delicate truce with her family. Nikolai likes to eat a nutritious breakfast 😋. Love me a man that isn’t afraid of eating a hearty breakfast 😮‍💨🥵 Leone’s ability to create complex and multifaceted characters is commendable. Gabriel, with his brooding charisma, exudes a dangerous allure that is impossible to resist. The protagonist’s growth and inner strength make her a relatable and empowering heroine. The dynamics between the characters are electric, filled with tension and raw passion. Amara knew her fate would always be marrying for the family but that did not make it easier. When the time finally came and a mafia boss was chosen for her, she was scared for what her life would be like. With Nicolai who was her fiance, and his horrific tales of murder and torture, she was convinced her life would be painful and humiliating. That is until she met her husband. A man as ruthless as he was pretty, and the only one she could see herself falling for. But there was no happy ending for her. Men like Nicolai didn't love their wives. She had only one purpose and that was to give him a family but that did not stop her from hoping for more. Inspired by her years working in corporate America, Sienna loves to serve up stories woven around confident and successful women who know what they want and how to get it, both in – and out – of the bedroom.From the instant, Nikolai lays eyes on his bride to be he’s entranced and vows to protect her from any harm including that by her own father. He also can’t wait to corrupt and dirty her up and he’s delighted when they seem to fit so well. Not bad. The heroine annoyed me at times and it was kind of boring the first half of the book. I also hated how there were no povs from the hero in the second half. Also a good amount of grammar mistakes. Other than all of that, I liked the second half of the book and I liked their relationship dynamics. Imma need Dimitry to get a book though. This book read so fast! I gobbled it down. I wanted to protect Amara at all costs and when she is given to Nikolas... she doesn't know what to expect, but it is so much more than she ever expected for herself. I had a great time and read it all in one sitting.

Little does he know that when he sees his betrothed for the first time she becomes everything to him and he would do anything to keep her safe and ONLY his.
