The Den of Sin by Eva Winners
5.0
Eva Winners has become one of my favorite mafia romance authors! And when I heard that she was planning to release another mafia romance novel, I just knew I had to read it! And so far, this one is my favorite! The Den of Sin is a standalone and can be read as a prequel to The Belles and Mobsters series. It's an age gap, best friend's brother and dark mafia Halloween romance, (just in time for the spooky season!) As soon as I read the blurb, I was automatically intrigued. Navigated from the main characters' perspectives: Isabella and Vasili's. Holy, moly wow! The heat in the prologue was through the roof! I didn't expect to escalate so fast! And the plot twists!! It's a fast paced read and I was impressed how Eva Winners tied in the events with each other, hence I couldn't put down this read!
Ahh, Isabella! My heart ached to see what she went through. And I was p*ssed off with Vasili's behavior! I mean, what he did to her! She experienced heartbreak, loss and is still trying to heal from the wounds that were inflicted on her, namely by Vasili. As I read his perspective he started to redeem himself. Vasili may have hurt and used Isabella as a pawn, but he wants her back. He's possessive and jealous as hell, and Vasili realized that he wants so much more with Isabella. Despite how many years have past Isabella can't deny the way her heart and body reacts to him. But she won't go down that road; she's not going to put her heart on the line again. Or so she thought. Even though the s*xual tension between them is thick and heavy, Isabella didn't give in easily making Vasili grovel. I'm happy to see that Isabella and Vasili got their HEA! Can't wait to start The Belles and Mobsters series!
Vasili Nikolaev is a Russian mobster; the King of New Orleans and Isabella is Vasili's sister's best friend. She's aware of Vasili's reputation; he's cold, ruthless and very dangerous. Isabella shouldn't be attracted and lusting for her best friend's older brother, yet she can't help herself she's drawn to him. And when their paths cross at a Halloween party, they give in to the temptation for one night. Isabella is shattered, heartbroken with how Vasili ended things. Fast forward to five years later, Isabella is in a stable relationship with her boyfriend, has a great job as an ER physician and everything was going according to plan, well that's until her past came back to haunt her. And like a chain reaction, the following events will turn her life upside down. After all, secrets have a habit of being revealed.
