Some women find their strength in yoga and self-help books. I found mine in the penthouse of a Russian mobster who could kill me with his pinky but chooses to rearrange my entire life instead.

I was never supposed to fall for a killer.
Now I’m carrying his child—and his enemies know it.

Anton Malikov built his empire on control.
Rules. Silence. Blood.
But when he found out I was pregnant, the man who never begged… started to break his own laws.

He swore he’d protect me.
That no one would ever touch me again.
What he didn’t say—
was that protection comes with a price.

I’m locked inside his world
armed guards in the hall, poker-night psychopaths who’ve decided I’m family,
and a husband who worships and terrifies me in equal measure.

I should run.
Instead, I’m learning to shoot, curse in Russian, and out-bluff killers at the breakfast table.
Because danger doesn’t end when the bullets stop.
It ends when Anton finally decides who he is—
the Pakhan’s loyal enforcer… or the man willing to burn the Bratva down to keep what’s his.

And when they come for us,
I’ll prove one
you can’t ruin a woman who’s already claimed by the devil himself.

100 Days to Claim Me is Book 2 in the Mark by Malikov Duet. Mary and Anton’s story begins in Book 1, 100 Days to Ruin Me.

My Review Notes- TITLED: Reaper, Printsessa & Gang

Such a beautiful eBook cover. It stopped me in my tracks! And I adored the dual Points of Views.

Anton Malikov, The Reaper, has her melting right away, calling her, "Printsessa". It must be that accent ! Mary likes the edge of danger that he brings even as she tries to resist it and him ! It's not working ! Things get VERY personal and detailed between them. Often.

Anton has his say in the next chapter. He's not sure if he wants to kill her or keep her ! He's torn. Lev, is so often grinning and the only one in the group cracking a joke. Lev, one of his closest friends likes her and wants them to keep her !!! That group of men made me smile, often ! They are- Dima the destroyer/fighter the fighter, Lev the grinning Chaos gremlin as she called them and Boris the tech /gadget genius.

Anton's papa was a tough mafia guy who was always The Family before his own family. He said, his mama, was dead long ago. His father used up until he was no longer useful.

The Pakhan Igor Vetrov was paranoid and feared Anton but he will use him up just like he always did And then when he doesn't need him anymore Anton will be in the ground ! Anton just knows that but stays loyal for a very long time until he has an "aha" moment guided by a few other people's wisdom. Igor's nephew, Timofey is the real enemy to that Mafia group and he's insanely clever.

It cracked me up when she thought, don't get attached, they're criminals not soulmates There's quite a few moments like that. Funny! They LOVE her food and that she cooks for them. Anton doesn't. I loved how Mary went from timid, undervalued and went to so much stronger with the help of Anton and his friends. Her self esteem and skills grows and grows.

He thinks, what's the matter with me I don't laugh but he just did because Mary said something funny in the shower with him. She always keeps him off balance. I enjoyed that so much !

What can I say about Jasper, her gay LONG time friend from their youngest days in school. He is HILARIOUS , seriously talented in his fashion salon and helped Mary get out of jams for as long as they have known each other. HIS love life is a mess ! Her grandmother was the best and was shocked when she first encountered Anton and his group !

I enjoyed Gordo, the fat-cat who is the neighbor's cat but has basically adopted her ! I loved how she communicated with him often. Something that Anton found odd but later made him smile.

The battles are epic and I loved the ending with the great Epilogue !

I got an ARC from the author and now I want to read more of her books like this.
