Mikhail is the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva, the Romanovs. He is dangerous, he is possessive, and he is dark. Apologies don’t come from him. He’s a man that needs to be married but can’t seem to keep his finances alive. If he isn’t married, his Bratva will fall and others will step in and take over.
Aria is a hacker who finds herself in more trouble than she would’ve ever imagined. She hacked one thing and opened a can of worms so big she ended up with a target on her back. A target big enough to send her right into the arms of Mikhail. The man who needs a wife and Aria needs a safe space to avoid those who are after her.
This book had me hooked instantly. And I mean by the end of the first chapter, I couldn’t put it down. If you are a mafia lover, like a good dark romance, and a badass FMC this is the book for you!!!

✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨
Mikhail and Aria make an adorable pair, and I enjoyed their interactions. Yet, my feelings toward Aria were a bit indecisive. Initially introduced as a formidable hacker, I anticipated a consistently strong personality, but her demeanor fluctuated unpredictably. The speed at which she developed feelings for Mikhail felt somewhat implausible and sudden. On the other hand, Mikhail's character was utterly captivating, displaying genuine concern and a protective instinct.
The story suffered from repetitive scenes and phrases, causing some distraction, and unclear dialogue added to the challenge of fully immersing myself in the story.
I yearned for a more gradual transition from enemies to lovers, wishing for a deeper exploration of their evolving romance. More insight into their growing connection would have enriched the story significantly.
