He makes the rules…
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.
Rules are made to be broken…
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.
Are you ready to play?
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…
Overall Rating: 5 Rockin’ ★★★★★
Natalie is a workaholic working on her PhD in history. She has been searching for her birth parents for the past six years and had thought she might have a lead. The detective that she had hired had said he thought he had a lead and now she was unable to get in touch with him. Natalie is out with some of her girlfriends at a local bar when in walks a HOTTIE that hits all her virgin buttons.
“Are you looking for trouble?” With a confidence I didn’t feel, I teasingly said, “Maybe I am.” I sounded breathy-I still hadn’t caught my breath since he’d first touched me. “Have I found it?”
Little did Natalie know that her birthfather was Russian Mafia and he had sent his right-hand man to bring her back to Russia to meet him? Her father had not known about her until the detective she hired had contacted him with DNA evidence. Natalie was not sure that this was what she really wanted, to be part of the Russian Mafia, but she did want to meet her birth father. The decision was taken from her by her new body guard, the Neanderthal just threw her over his should and proceeded to a hidden airfield where a private jet waited.
“I told you my intentions. Gave you a countdown.” He started the engine and pulled away from the curb. “Understand me, Natalie, I do exactly what I say I’ll do. Always.”…”And right now I’m telling you that I will get you safely to you father in Russia.”
Natalia finds out that her father is more than just mafiya, he is the head the Bratva and his enemies know about her and want her to use against her father. Sevastyan was sent to protect her from them and to get her to safety.
“Your father is embattled. Adversaries would love to see him fall. And there is another vor who might hurt you in order to hurt Kovalev. Or use you to coerce him.”
Natalia finds herself drawn to Sevastyan. She cannot stop wanting more from him. Sevastyan explains the dangers and where they are headed too. He allows Natalia to call and warn her mom and best friend that someone may try to get to hurt them because of her.
“Of all the men in the bar, you picked me for a reason, little girl.” His voice had gotten huskier, his accent rougher; I responded to it as if he’d touched me. “And it wasn’t to talk about classes.”…”I picked you because you were a mystery. I can read men with ease, but not you. That made me curious.”
When Natalia meets her father it is as natural as breathing. They have so much in common that it seems like they have always been together. He tells her about her biological mother and how she would never have let her go if she had not died after her birth. He explains about the rules that they live by and what will be expected of her now that she is with him in Russia. He asks her to stay with him and go to school there. Sevastyan is always there in the background, observing and protecting them both. She wants him and he wants her but if she gives herself to him then she will be his forever.
I caught myself wondering what it would be like if he were mine. In some mad moments, I could envision us together. It’d never be dull. No it’d be dark. And deep.
Everything changes when her father is betrayed by her cousin. She must run with Sevastyan and stay hidden until things can be sorted out. Will she be able to deny the need she has for Sevastyan? Will he be able to open up and share himself with her?
He raised his brows, eyes devilish in the firelight and mist. “Can’t control yourself where I’m concerned?” His voice was a deep rasp. Resist him, Nat.
