All the books have insta-love and are similar in one way or another, but they're extremely short to even care. I truly enjoyed this one, but it would be unfair to give this book a proper rating because the author plagiarized 'Morally Ambiguous' by Veronica Lancet.
Sergei's character is my favorite, of course, it would be considering he's a teeny-meeny version of Vlad Kuznetsov, but this book didn't do justice to his character because his trauma should've been explored more! Angelina was the same as other girls!
It's a pattern, the traumas aren't discussed well, they're in love too quickly, and the girl being a damsel in distress and the boy being the knight in shining armor in the end is constant!
➳ Rec – If anyone wants to read about a cute psycho who has episodes and a girl who can calm him, with great character development and groveling, I'd definitely recommend "Morally Ambiguous" (which is also getting published again and is becoming a duet).

This book didn't help much! I enjoyed it though! I thought maybe I'll get how much Adrian is regretting that Lia jumped the cliff and he'd be out of his mind, but nothing much happened! He was terrified and all, but still!
The first half of this book is just like book 2. Adrian is still thinking she cheated on him I don't blame him when he saw Luca kissing Lia, but thank God he believed her after his PuNiShMeNt. There wasn't a full grand happy moment when Adrian found out she got her memory back! He was like OKAY ...more

• 3.75 stars
Everything was really predictable, but I still enjoyed it! Rai and Kyle had too many fights in this one, but I guess I like this one more.
• In this book, Kyle's past is revealed and he's out for revenge. He wants to kill the people who killed his parents – Irish and Russians because they were somehow involved. He could've taken his revenge but he also wanted Rai, that's why he set-up an arranged marriage plan!
Kyle — is wayyy better in this book now that he started sharing his past with her. I actually felt so bad after reading his past scene where his mom and dad died. That scene was truly heartbreaking, and his parents loved him! What happened to him was bad, and I'm glad he found his godfather. Kyle's character is complex, and his past makes it understandable why he's so obsessive; he has put the lives of the people in love in danger once before because of his nature.
His betrayal with his godfather wasn't told, so I had to read it in 'ghosted'. Kyle was disheartened that his godfather was neglecting him for his wife/lover, so he aimed a gun at her and tried to kill her and also tried to kill himself. Well, he was forgiven, but he went to England!
Rai — aahh she was still the same. She's super indecisive, on one hand, she doesn't want to trust Kyle, but on the other, she can't just live without him. Glad she put up a fight with him for the things he did, but she should've held onto them!
Kyle exchanging her birth-control pills and making her pregnant was seriously so freaking wrong. And the hypocrisy of him to act like it's Rai's fault that she wants to abort the child—like, seriously? He was withdrawing from her and being petty, and Rai was like, "I WILL KEEP THE CHILD NOW." Okayyy soooo, I would've been more and more pissed, but Kyle actually apologized for it in the letter and told her about the reasons he did it and respects if she wants an abortion and all! And then he left her again... lol, he came back then. It's just, there's no point of being guilty, and I don't think he really is lol because he wants her to have his baby, it's just that he thinks he lost her. well now we have NIKOLAI so ig it was worth it eh? ...more

Tbh, Rina Kent ensures her books have a captivating side plot to engage readers. Even though you might dislike the dynamic between the couple at times – which I didn't in this book, you just keep pushing through. So, I'm super curious to know what'll happen next!
❝Just because I was born a woman, doesn’t mean I’ll let anyone stomp all over me.❞
This is an arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers romance without Rina's favorite virgin trope. ✨
Rai Sokolov — she's the executive director at V corp and is an elite member in the brotherhood (alongside other members aka Kirill, Damien & Adrian). She's always looked down upon because she's a woman, but she fought and gave as good as she got because she doesn't give a fuck about anyone. She wants to stay on top to protect the people she loves. She wants power.
Ngl, she is wayyy cooler than I anticipated. She's better than her daughters. I actually quite liked her attitude and how she dealt with Kyle, he's wayy too much of an alpha-hole, so it was shocking that this book did not show much misogyny. Rai is a badass, but yes, she suffered from BODY BETRAYING SYNDROME too.
Kyle Hunter — he's a professional and the best hitman in Bratva. He left Rai 7 years ago for a mission, and now he's back in the brotherhood. I actually liked him, he's quite arrogant and overconfident, but still, he's much better and is kinda smitten with Rai. I'm curious to know his secrets and past, but overall, he isn't bad and he'd just DIE FOR HER.

I adore them so much! I loved how they both grew, and their character development is amazing! Even though Kiara overcame her traumas in 'Twisted Emotions,' this book truly showed how she became stronger and accepted everyone as her family!

He did get her pregnant, but SURPRISE SURPRISE, she has cancer (as in a tumor because she's been experiencing headaches and nausea since her teenage years). I swear to God he was acting like a jerk, so it serves him right. Despite being nice and kind, he's still her CAPTOR, which earns him no points. (lol I mean I don't find him hot so???!!)

Wow this was super toxic! I expected it, but it's the first time I've read a book where the fmc's mental health is affected by the mmc. My ratings don't mean shit because I wanted PRESENT chapters and not Past ones. Maybe I'll rate the 2nd one better.
• Alina and Alexei were betrothed to each other when they were 15-20, and since then, Alina's been doing everything to stall things. And Alexei has been giving her time, until her parents die and the contract is nullified. Alexei still gave her a few years to heal until she ran away, and now he has finally kidnapped her.
This book is short, with the present chapters (where he kidnapped her) covering only about one day, while the rest of the chapters show their history together from Alina's pov, from age 14 to 25. Honestly, I understand that Alexei is obsessive and gave her a lot of time to heal, being patient and not seeking anyone else. It really fucked up with Alina's mental health. She was attracted to him, but she was being forced to marry him until she didn't, yet he didn't leave her and kept stalking and killing the guys she started to see, which made her stop. Then she had to run away, only for him to find her and blackmail her.
I wanted Alina to put up more of a fight in the present chapters, but seriously, 11 years is way too long, and Alexei seriously drove her insane. Let's see what happens in the next book because he wants to tie her to him with a child. It's fucked up ...more

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I like the books, but they bore me in the middle and then make me love them in the ending. The start is always amazing! Even though this book has all my favorite tropes and I totally enjoyed the start, I kinda got bored in the end, but the last 15% is totally worth it!
Zephyr — Unlike Amara and Morana, she had a really nice life. I'm not complaining lol, but I understand why everyone was wary of her since she was new. Personally, I related a lot to Zephyr and her struggles. No doubt she was a bit clingy, but at least she was confident and eventually found love. It was quite touching how she never gave up on her love from a decade ago!
Alpha — Is he good? Yes. Better than Tristan and Dante? No. ...more

"You’re the beat to my heart, Amara."
Could they be any more perfect and strong? They're a literal warrior couple! I love them both so much as characters and their dynamic together. ♥️
Amara — My heart hurts for what she's been through. I knew I'd like her after reading The Predator. She was so sweet yet so strong, I loved how she fiercely protected herself and her unborn child. I truly respect her; she's literal WIFE MATERIAL.
Dante — He's the greenest red flag ever! Listen to me, this man is perfect! Not at all like other mafia men! He's not shy to express his feelings, needs, and unafraid to show affection. He's vulnerable at times and had an amazing personality in TP & TR. The way he cared for Amara and gradually fell in love with her by taking care of her. His words of affirmation, his respect for her boundaries, and how over the years he learned what gestures she's comfortable with— I'M TRULY IN LOVE. If not for the story, then read this book for Dante. ...more
