I really enjoy this series...like a lot. Although it's HIGHLY advised to read this series in order, I haven't been doing that. Regardless, I'm trying to make up for that (kinda) and this was the tamest one I've read yet. And considering some of the brutality that takes place in this, that is saying something. But this was a very fast paced best friends sister story. Mafia stories, especially one's with this quite unpopular (even though I personally love it) trope in it aren't going to be for everyone, but I've recently found Ms. Cole and I'm completely hooked on her work so this is a winner in my book. The feuding families, the angst, the drama, I need more. Always always.

Dark, hot love story with a side of crime families, debt and blood. What do you do when the devil owns you?

Boris and Noras story was fast paced and easy to follow. A typical forbidden romance. The angst and pull could have been enhanced as time quickly moves by. Yes, you are aware they’re meant to be together (especially if you read book 1) but their love story could have had more depth. I felt like we just got into the heart of their story and then they broke up and then boom they’re pregnant and back together. I liked it but not as much as I liked Maksim and Aspens story.

I liked hearing different perspectives of the story in this book. I thought Nora and Boris were very cute together.

Broken Fighter is the second installment of the Mafia Wars Series. This book follows Boris and Nora. Boris and Nora are like magnets, they always have an undeniable attraction to each other. Their chemistry is smoking hot too! This book will keep you hooked with the many obstacles they go through with their relationship, family and crime. This series is addicting. I cannot wait for book three!

Ya'll this book... THIS BOOK!
This couple was tearing my heart out.
Nora and Boris have been around each other forever. Her brother is best friend's with Boris and she has wanted him from afar for so long. He wants her too, but there is a big problem. She is an Irish O'Malley, and he is a Russian Ivanoff, and while their families may tolerate each other, she could never marry someone who isn't Irish. So he loves her from a distance, but she is never far from his mind.
Something I really loved about how this story was told is that it really spanned some time. If you read the first installment of this book, you already know a few things about this couple's relationship. You know about the tension and where they are at with everything. (We also get to see Maxsim from the last book both pre-Aspen and post Aspen and its awesome.) So it was interesting to go back a few years and see what led them to that place.
Though the merry-go-round of "will they, won't they" went around one too many times for me... I understood why they would be afraid to possibly ruin some relationships. There is a lot on the line when their families are so sure about them NOT being together, but man... it made for some HOT sneaking around scenes. I mean, that's what we want in our forbidden romances right?
This book does also progress the Maifa Wars plot as a whole, but again, it doesn't go too much into the future past where the first one does. So we are definitely still in uncertain waters.
Also, did I mention this is hot as fuck? Well, yes, yes it is.
5/5 stars from me. And I connot WAIT for the next book, we got a bit of a sneak at that couple and I want more.
