About this ebook

"A one-sitting, unputdownable read that will have your pulse racing from start to finish." ~ L.J. Shen, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author

Power. That’s what I think of when I spot him across the ER. Power and danger.

 

One of the wealthiest Russian oligarchs, Alex Volkov is as ruthless as he is magnetic. He always gets what he wants, and what he wants is me, in his bed.

 

He’s the kind of trouble every woman should run from. The bullet his bodyguard took for him proves that.

 

I should stay far away, but for one night, I give in to temptation. Before I know it, he’s pulling me deeper into his world of excess and violence, invading not only my life but my heart.

 

How much trust can I place in a man so dangerous? How much do I dare risk for his love?

Ratings and reviews

I'm usually a huge fan of Anna Zaires, but I struggled with this one. To be fair, I'm a mood reader and most of the time when I don't love a book from an author I know I love it's because of things going on in my personal life. I liked the characters ok, and the story is very well written, but it just didn't suck me in like I was hoping. It does end in a cliffhanger and I'm planning on reading book 2, I just didn't love it.

This book completely snuck up on me in both the storytelling and my feelings about it. While I didn't really enjoy the story at first, I grew to enjoy Kate and Alex. From two different worlds, they have an instant connection that burns incredibly quick, intense, and HOT. The book ends on a cliffhanger, but thankfully, the next book comes out very soon and I can't wait to read the next book. Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Alex and Kate have great chemistry. Such a great read. I am frustrated that Kate being a smart lady doesn't seem to figure out that she should tell Alex about what the different Russians say to her. The one at City Hall or the one at the hospital. Come on Kate think about it!! And let me just say I hate cliffhangers but OMG it's so good and I am so glad I read it anyway. Now I have to wait for the next one. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
