Release Date: January 27, 2016
~Synopsis~
I'm in deep to the Mafia. My father was the one who made the deal, and when I inherited his club, I also inherited his troubles.
Ivan wants to save me, or so he says. More like he wants me to be his slave for a year. After the one-night stand I had with him, though, would that be so bad? With his impossibly hard body, and the way he always makes me scream...
But he's still a monster. He's a criminal, and something so much worse.
And yet I can't stop the tingling in my body every time I think of how he touched me, and those dark but delicious words rolling off his tongue, tinged with his Russian accent.
He knows what I'll say, even before I do. "I'll take your offer."
~Book Review~
3.5/4 Stars
Katy Foss is trying to keep
her father’s club, The Amber Room, a float. It’s all she has left of him. But
her father left some debts and the Russian mafia is still collecting.
Ivan Dragomirov is a hitman for the mafia. His job is to end
people’s lives, but he just might be Katy’s savior. An offer to be indentured to
him, her anonymous one night stand, for one year might be the best option Katy
has.
Ivan is a fairly interesting
character; he’s dangerous, dark and reserved, yet seemed to have a soft spot
for Katy.
“I keep wondering when the cutesy-date portion of our day will end and my Prince Charming transforms back into my domineering sex master.”
Ivan certainly had potential;
I just really wish the characters and the story would have been fleshed out
more. I had some trouble connecting with them.
I definitely craved more of a build up, and I felt like scenes were
missing that would have contributed to that. The timeframe often skips ahead
(from New Years Eve to Valentine’s Day to St. Patrick’s Day, etc.) and I was
left wondering about their interactions in between. Since they’ve not met before the night of
their one night stand, I needed more of them getting to know each other to
become invested in the romance angle.
All in all, if you are
looking for a quicker, sexy read with overtones of danger, then this one fits
the bill. Told via Ivan and Katy's alternating first person POV, Owned by the Hitman is a standalone.
