Synopsis
Twenty-year-old Lauren Thompson left her small town in
Michigan to begin a new life in the Big Apple where no one knows her name or
the tragedy that had rocked her family fifteen years prior. With new friends
and an intriguing new love interest, starting over is easier than she
expected...but Mishca Volkov isn't what he seems. As the son of a Russian Mob
boss, he thrives in a world of chaos and fear, earning the title of Bratva
Captain through blood and pain.
When the two cross paths, lines blur and passions ignite,
bringing them closer than they could ever imagine. Until secrets from the past
threaten to tear them apart. Can they fight past their demons...or were they
doomed by fate before they ever met.
My Thoughts
Lauren experienced such violence at a young age when her father was brutally murdered while she hid in a closet when she just five years old. Years later she moves to NY to put that past behind her. She meets Mishca and falls hard for him, but he isn't who he seems. When the truth comes out it will bring her past into the present and shake Lauren's world. I loved the beginning of their story and was on the edge of my seat through it all. I couldn't wait to read the next one.

Synopsis
After learning the truth behind her father's tragic murder,
Lauren vowed never to go near another Volkov again, but sometimes matters of
the heart are too strong to resist...
Mishca Volkov
As a Captain in the Volkov Bratva, Mishca has pledged his
loyalty to the Vory v Zakone, but he soon finds himself at odds with the life
he's always known...
Until the End
When Mishca and Lauren fight to salvage their relationship,
new obstacles present themselves, forcing the pair to make drastic choices that
either tear them apart or bring them closer together...
My Thoughts
Lauren is completely crushed by everything she discovers in the previous book and things aren't good between her and Mishca because of all that. He is equally wrecked because of everything. What I loved about this book was that Lauren and Mishca both show different sides of themselves. Lauren becomes a fierce force to be reckoned with and Mishca shows a tender side towards her. There is just so much action in this story that you just have to hold on to your seat and enjoy the roller coaster ride. It's fantastic. I loved every page of it.

Synopsis
Three months pass without incident, leading Mishca and Lauren
to believe they can finally move on from the past and build a life together
...but enemies both old and new lurk in the shadows, waiting
for the opportunity to strike.
When a dangerous threat presents itself, Lauren is forced to
turn to the one person that would rather see Mishca dead than live happily ever
after
...she now has to step into a role that demands payment in
blood.
Alliances are formed, one side fighting for survival, and
the other for retribution.
No one can be trusted.
No one is safe.
War is coming.
...and not everyone will live to see the end of it.
My Thoughts
For awhile things quiet down for the Volkov Bratva and Mishca and Lauren move forward in their relationship growing closer. Things never stay quiet for very long though and Mishca becomes a target. This causes Lauren to come out and be all protective and get help from someone that is surprising. I don't want to give away the story in this one because it is just too good for you not to experience it yourself.

Synopsis
Can a love born of violence stand the test of time?
Despite a less than ideal start to their marriage, Mishca and Lauren are finally in a place where they do not have to look over their shoulders at every turn. Now that they are in a secure place, it's time for them to have the one thing Mishca had promised her before they took their vows.
A honeymoon...
Traveling to the sandy beaches of Sardinia, Italy, the couple will explore what brought them together in the first place, instead of the life that constantly threatens to tear them apart.
But as the newly appointed Boss of the Volkov Bratva, is it too late for Mishca to have an even remotely normal life...and is Lauren ready to face another challenge that neither of them saw coming...
My Thoughts
Mishca and Lauren are married but haven't gone on their honeymoon yet. Him being shot on their wedding day put a damper on those plans. Now he is the big boss and the youngest ever to boot. I love that Klaus is still around as he cracks me up when he gives his brother a hard time. I love that Mishca and Lauren finally get their time together in Italy to reconnect and relax. They have a chance to focus completely on each other.
