Nikolai Vetrov ✨✨ fue tan bello en tantos niveles. Me desgarro el trauma de Abbie. Pero ame las apariciones familiares, mi corazón lloro de amor y ver a Damien y a Winter ser padres fue los mejor y más bello de todo.

Heed the Trigger Warning

Abigail and Nikolai were perfect for one another. Abigail was a mafia princess who was sent off for training which is a necessity within her world. She meets Nikolai who is her cold, ruthless and unyielding combat instructor. Abigail is a natural flirt and free spirit. Whereas Nikolai is a rigid, straight laced member of the Bratva.

Abigail and Nikolai had an immediate attraction to one another. Abigail flirted relentlessly but Nikolai held back due to their age difference. Nikolai is extremely hard on Abigail during training trying to break her but the harder he tries the more she breaks down his walls.

Abigail went through a horrendous ordeal as a result her life was never the same. The depression and PTSD she suffered from was heartbreaking. I love how this story addresses how trauma impacts everyone not just the victim. Nikolai refused to watch the woman he had grown to love to suffer. Although Nikolai was a hardcore member of the Bravta he became the safe place for Abigail to heal and work through her trauma.

This couple had a rough and rocky journey to get to their HEA but when things were bad when Abigail was ready to give up she had a man in her corner fighting to pull her from the brink of darkness

4.5/5

please check tw/cw

nikolai is an instructor at st. monarchs and abbie sees him early on and can't help but flirt with him, even after she finds out who he is.

this book overlaps with book 1 so i do recommend reading that one first though you could ream them in any order.

abbie is fun and carefree and doesn't want to live the life her father is forcing her to live. while training, she flirts with nikolai until he breaks, he swears its a one time thing but he can't get her out of his mind.

everything changes for abbie after getting kidnapped and raped and nikolai only wants to be there for her. he's nothing but caring and wants to help repair whats been broken.

This book was a lot darker than the first but I loved seeing Abbie overcome her struggles through such a dark time. Definitely check for trigger warnings before going into this one.

I AM TRULY OBSESSED....

I THOUGHT NOTHING COULD TOP DESTROY ME AND I WAS MOTHER FREAKING WRONG!!!!
5 STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4.5 SPICE

I believe Michelle heard can do no wrong. I’ve fallen into obsession with this series and cannot believe how she is able to pack so much emotion into so few pages. While not short her stories are not ultra long either yet there is so much intense emotion she is able to evoke that i’m highly impressed. Abbie and Nikolai are so swoony. Their story picks up after aurora and misha but can be read as a standalone. Major trigger warnings but it is such a great read. Absolutely obsessed!
