If anything, Her Vicious Angel is a cautionary tale about accepting a sketchy emailed offer to move to Russia and marry a stranger in exchange for an exorbitant amount of money. You know, for when you find yourself in that situation, as one does. 

 

Cerise definitely should’ve asked for more money, given Andrei was not at all the gay theater owner she expected, and was instead a dangerous Bratva underboss who’d never heard a “no” he listened to in his goddamn life. 

 

I don’t know what it is about how Kate Raven writes her heroes but somehow she makes non-con more palatable for me. Maybe it’s because, in most cases anyway, her heroines are strong and can be brutal themselves? Cerise is one of those. 

 

Also, this book made me laugh. The convent? Lmao.
