Was it considered stalking if the woman you were stalking liked the idea of being stalked?
It started out like any other job.
My brother, the head of the Russian Mafia, wanted me to delete an opponent. Like the good brother I was, I decided to give him what he wanted.
In doing so, I ended up finding a woman that made my cold, dead heart start to beat again.
One day while doing some reconnaissance on my target, I happen to overhear Keely telling her friend one of her darkest fantasies, and I decide that I’d be the one fulfilling that particular craving for her.
I tell myself that it’s only once. I’d give in to that darkness inside of me once, and I’ll leave her alone from then on.
Except, once turns into twice. And twice turns into way too many to count.
Just when I plan to cut all ties so she doesn’t start to develop feelings for a killer, I find out that Keely doesn’t have just one stalker. She has two. And the one that wasn’t me wanted her dead, and I couldn’t allow that to happen.
Not to her.
Not to the woman that not only chased my demons away, but also didn’t care that I had them in the first place.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Dima and Keely. I don’t even know that I know how to describe Dima. He’s not exactly the most stable person you will ever read about. But, you will love him all the same. He certainly has a side that is prone to obsession and forget boundaries. He has no clue what they are. However, he is fiercely loyal and protective of those in his small circle. Keely is a girl who has been through so much trauma in her life. However, she has not let that break her. On the inside she might want to run and hide but she is not going to give in to that. These two characters are broken but together they make each other whole. He is a trained assassin He has only ever killed for the government and his brother. But there is about to be a girl that walks into this life, flips it sideways, and he would kill for her. He is a bit of a stalker when it comes to Keely too. But she doesn’t seem to find. He is the fantasy that she didn’t have a face for but he is also her new brother in law. This story is so good you won’t be able to lay it down. I loved these characters and I have to say this book has some really spicy moments in it. You do not want to miss it. It is the last book in the Semyonov Bratwa Series. If you haven’t started it you really should. All the book are equally as good.
