The conclusion of this duet was a good one. Like others, I would have liked to see Kirill with the baby. However, given there are going to be more books in this world, I feel like there is g0ing to be a continuation of the story. walking, and children were playing, somewhat dangerously, in the syringelittered sand of the beach. Tweakers and pimps wandered the boardwalk,

First let me say many will love this read. It hits all the marks. ✨First loves, ✨heartbreak, ✨obsession, ✨2nd chance, ✨staking, ✨forced proximity, ✨OTT JP, ✨touch her and die, ✨a virgin FMC, ✨Mafia family drama and a ✨HEA. So this is why I still gave 2 stars. You see my problem. But Atleast in this book he understood he was in the wrong and apologised but still refused to let her go if your sorry youd say im not good enough just go but no kiril could never😭😂

This book started immediately from book one with Molly being kidnapped by Kirill’s brother, Nikolai and Nikolai telling Molly the deceptive ways Kirill tried to keep her. Of course, he had his reasons given their history. Molly decide to leave him — again! I hate unnecessary separation, particularly for weak reasons. So predictable. Good start with the first book. I loved Kirill, from his sweet boyish ways to the hardened man he was forced to be. Devoted, indulgent hero, with a breeding kink. He adored Molly. What’s not to love and forgive, especially after their seven-year separation? Confident but annoying heroine, sassy at times, but no way would a woman leave a man like that. Kirill was the touch her and die hero you dream of, and with their past history, “weird boy” as Molly affectionately called this Bratva underboss, so endearing. Molly is his, and no one, even her, will tell him differently. While kirill is still the possessive Alpha, he now does things without the anger driving him. It's all about his love for Molly and keeping her safe. In this book, we get more of a glimpse into his brother, and you can tell he had just as bad, if not worse, a childhood as Kirill. These 2 are both broken little boys trying to fulfil the destiny that their father pushed on them. This is all they have now. And they are done with letting him c0ntrol them anymore. Kirill is absolutely obsessed with Molly and I was living for it. If you’re a fan of possessive/obsessive men then I think you’ll love Kirill. The chemistry between these two was great and the spice was 😮‍💨🔥 so good! ⁣

Wow!!! I jumped right into book two after reading book one and all I can say is what a duet this has been!!! The heroine is a poster child for doormats. The author tries to convince you she’s a fighter and feisty etc but gives no evidence to support it other than getting mouthy with H for a paragraph before immediately folding to whatever bullshit he’s pulling now. The characters both have a lot to love and hate about them and their conflicted feelings leave plenty of opportunity for many steamy moments, as well as some sweet ones. You'll be kept on the edge waiting for it all to play out. Do you want my child, Molly? Have I really trapped you this time?” - took his sweet time to realise why are you even questioning it when you KNOW the answer 😭Almost DNF but that’s almost impossible for me once I start a read so I skimmed hoping it would connect with me or that my feeling would change and they didn’t. I see where the author wanted to go with this but it majorly missed the mark. Molly has no idea what Nikolai has planned for her but she knows it can't be good. He killed all of Kirill's guards before taking her and she can only imagine the plans he has to punish Kirill using her. What she finds though is the psycho is not everything she thought. When he starts revealing Kirill's secrets everything she thought she was finally figuring out about Kirill is broken. NEVER communicated! Like NEVER not till the very end of book 2. So the end of the series. It was the most infuriating couple. Like they just never just jammed together and once they do the series is basically over.

This had a lot of potential but the H was a moron so it really dulled the shine here. The H is hellbent on hating and taking his revenge on h based on a misunderstanding. Did your eyes roll involuntarily? Yeah, me too. Monsters are made, not born yet Kirill was both. Unfortunately, Molly realized this too late. He may have forgiven her for running before but when he finds her again, all bets are off. Kirill is determined to get a ring on her finger no matter what he has to do to get her down the aisle. Molly is pretty sure what he may do but he doesn't know what she's hiding. It's nine months in the making. But he wants revenge first. So he treats her like an object for the entire first book. He refuses to sleep with her in his bed. Gives her a separate room. Makes her wear degrading things. He’s super cold and standoffish. He doesn’t want to open his heart to her again. So he does everything he can to keep her in her place. They don’t communicate or even really talk about themselves and the past 7yrs or what happened that night. I don’t want to see you end up like her, Princess. I’ll do my part to stop it, but you have to do the rest.” This story runs at a moderate pace and in dual povs, lots of Bratva action but a bit less spicy than book one as they balance their roles: she, his queen rather than captive, and he, making amends but still the boss. There were times where the sweet boy Kirill Lewis made an appearance, too, but mostly Kirill is the darker, made man he’s become.The reader gets the whole picture. He hates her. He loves her. He’s beyond obsessed. He has this ridiculous need to “break” her but predictably starts to immediately regret it when it seems like he may be succeeding on his mission. He’s a total asshole in every interaction to ensure she doesn’t suspect he actually loves her. I started to gag every time we’re subjected to the sad little dichotomy between his actions and inner thoughts. They'll just have to survive his brother and father to see if they can get past what they have done to each other. Liked the ending and how everything came together, liked that things between Kirill and Nikolai were left unresolved, for me that felt more real and also will lead into Nikos story with Sofia.
