BLURB:
His world. His rules. Her love.
Though his methods may be rough, when it comes to protecting what’s his, Russian vor Sergei Petrovyh’s heart is always in the right place. That’s never been more true than when the gorgeous Evette Labadie asks him for a job. He knows enough to keep his hands off someone as beloved by the locals as Evie, but there’s something about her that calls to him—no matter how badly he burns to make her his.
Don’t think Evie hasn’t noticed the powerful Russian mafia boss who makes her favorite diner a regular stop. How can she not? He’s as hot as his reputation is dangerous. But everyone in her struggling New Orleans neighborhood knows he’s the man to turn to. And right now she needs money to get her son out of trouble.
Her other needs—needs she knows damn well Sergei can more than satisfy—will have to wait.
Evie soon finds herself playing Cinderella to a man who, despite what people believe, is definitely more prince than villain. She can’t help falling deeper in love with each passing day. But when a turf war between Sergei and a rival brings violence to her doorstep, Evie must come to grips with loving a man who will do anything to defend her…or walk away from her best chance at a happily-ever-after of her very own.
CHRISTINA’S FIVE STAR REVIEW:
This has been a heavily anticipated book for me. After reading the “Men of Haven” series by this author, we all knew that the Russian needed his own book. AND WE GOT IT!!!!
Sergei Petrovyh is what you’d call a “Pakhan” in Russian. He’s the leader of his Mafia and he’s created his own family. No one messes with what’s his and he makes sure that everyone knows it. After moving to New Orleans and settling in, he’s slowly helping the community, making it a better place. Although his methods may not be…conventional, he does what’s needed to get the job done. Which is probably why he considers himself dark and unworthy of affection.
Evie has a lot on her mind. She’s been let go of her job for something she didn’t do and is now desperate to find work quickly in order to pay for her son’s education. While visiting her friend in a diner, she can’t help but wonder if Sergei could help her. It’s worth a try, right?
Evie pretty much steps straight in to a Cinderella story. Everything is way too good to be true, but yet, it is. She even becomes Sergei’s “Feya”, which only leads to…well…everything. Now all she needs is for her uncle to leave her alone.
As usual, this author pulls you in to a story that keeps us on our toes with every turn of the page. Between building relationships among the main characters or introducing new ones, we form a bond with them as though they’re OUR friends. That’s quite the talent.
This is an amazing start to a series that I’m sure will keep all of us coming back for more…and more and more. Because let’s face it, a Mafia full of hot Russian alphas is quite the craving. 🙂
