The Semyonov family is making me fall more and more in love with them with each book. Are they dangerous? Yep! Do they do things most of us want to do but don’t because we don’t want to go to jail? Again, yes. Let’s face some people who need to be dealt with harshly and this family knows how to do that. Even with all of that, I still want to have them over for dinner.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

In this book we get Milena, the other sister in the family whose story was so captivating. I liked her from the beginning but she had plenty of secrets that came out. Secrets that help explain why her two brothers are much more protective of her. Though being in the mafia is more than reason enough. The day she meets Cutter Clayborn her entire life changes. I will say that their meeting is one of the best I have read in a while. 

Cutter comes into Milena’s life at the perfect moment and the instant chemistry between these two is off the charts. There was so much to love about them. They each had things happen in their lives that made them who they are and how they live their lives. They were simply perfect for one another. I do love that there wasn’t a lot of denying what they felt. They made a plan, set a course, and stuck to it.

There were plenty of characters in this book to hate though. In fact, there were more than a few that I wanted to punch in the face. Also, I honestly thought something with one particular character was going to go one way but it didn’t. I’m more than happy how it turned out but I sort of expected a twist that didn’t happen. That was just me though! 

I will say that I am always thrilled when we see characters from the past because they intertwine the books. They also add such depth to the storylines. In this one we meet Cutter’s family as well as his MC brothers. I am hoping we get more of all of them.
