It began with a massacre.
As shots rang out, Nikolai stole me from my wedding,
Claiming me as his own before anyone else could get the chance,
Bending me into a pale memory of who I used to be.
Nikolai is cunning, drop dead gorgeous, and feared by everyone who knows him.
Including me.
Now he demands that I marry him instead of the man I was sworn to…
His brother.
He wants me to make a mistake, to get lost beneath his wicked tongue,
To fall into the dark side and finally become his,
And without anyone to save me, I slip…
In doing so, I become an enemy to my own family,
A death sentence to all who know me.
Except for Nikolai – the killer, the boss, the man with no remorse,
And soon to be my husband.
I belong to him now,
And he will crush anyone who says otherwise.
I had some mixed feelings about this book. Which I am mentioning further on in this review.
But I just had to give it a bit higher rating on my reviews because of the parts that I thought were well written.
This book was a total surprise. Probably because when I read the book information, I had it all figured in my head what it meant. Well, it was a bit different from what I was thinking. It also had quite a few other surprises in store for me.
Innocent, amiable, obedient Annika has a lot more going on under her surface. Her mother and father might have steamrolled her into marriage with Michail but she has a boiling resentment underneath. And when she spots Michail's brother Nikolai lust blossoms for him. Too bad for Michail who she detests on sight.
Nikolai is definitely a handsome, ruthless bad boy. BUT, there is a whole lot more to him than just that. When he meets Annika yes, he definitely wants her.
This story is definitely an Adult story with some violence and sex. But putting some of that aside, it does have a pretty good story with depth in it's characters. There is also quite the twist towards the end.
I liked the Epilogues that were included. One each for Nikolai and then Annika. That was different and I liked that. A sweet touch.
I received a free ARC of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
