"I’m tired of giving my best to men who don’t deserve it."

This was meh. It's a guilty pleasure, for sure.
Like, it was alright, but it felt like it was missing something.

It's a typical brooding male mafia lead with the damsel in distress, and they can't be together. It's very cliche and predictable, but I still was entertained. There were times when I was annoyed with the characters and the plotline.

The wins definitely come from Paige character, and we see her development and growth.
I love the involvement of side characters, it gives a better understanding of the family dynamic and Misha's personality.

That ending definitely was a cliffhanger.



"No woman looks like that at a man she doesn’t care about. That realization probably scares her as much as it’s scaring me. I want to stop her. I want to tell her to wait. But for what? I’m not sure. So I let her go. For both our sakes."
dark emotional tense medium-paced

This is book 1 of the Orlov Bratva duet. Paige is left with nothing when her (not really) ex-husband drains her bank accounts and ghosts her. She runs into Misha at a restaurant and he finds her curious so invites her to eat with him. One thing leads to another and they spend the night together. Little does she know that 2 weeks later, she shows up to her first day of work and find that Misha is her new boss.

Nicole Fox never fails to pull out all the drama and tension and I eat it up every time! This book was addicting and I cannot wait to see how it ends in book 2! Highly recommend!
