The heroine: Sasha (a.k.a. Aleksander) - she is from a wealthy Russian family, most of whom were murdered in a massacre. Her uncle tells her that the only way to protect herself and the rest of her family that somehow survived was to join the Russian Army. She is undercover as a man named Aleksander, her hair has been chopped off, she wears bindings around her breasts and is doing her best to not be a weakling, though she is thinner and smaller than all the other brutes in her unit. I love how Kirill cares about Karina and still hugs her even when she threatens him and curses him. I can't wait for Karina to forgive her brother. Also, I'm dying because I know Karina has a crush on Sasha! 💀 Kirill would surely lose it if he found out his sister's feelings!
the slow 🔥burn. Look. Im not always in the mood for slow burns because they’re not always done right. In fact, I prefer them to be medium burn, with the occasional fast burns, so that I don’t experience b9ng anxiety. But here, it made sense and it worked! Oh LAWD. Captain Kirill correctly guessing Sasha’s not a man and having lingering looks/touches had me burning up. Say whatever you want, but having the physical part of the relationship gradually become more *ahem* physical was 😮💨😮💨😮💨. I’m not gonna tell you how many times I reread the sauna scene🥵💦… or the office scene 👀… or the bathroom scene 🔥… (might as well bring in the limo scene too 😉) because I’m a lady after all 💁🏻♀️. Just know that these scenes will live rent free in my head… for a looong time Rina Kent's books happen in the same world, but with a slightly different timeline and therefore, many characters pop across different books. The book starts with wedding scene of Kirill and Kristina. After some manipulations Kirill get his dream of Pakhan and news of Sasha’s death. Kirill’s grief 🥺 over 2 months was just heartbreaking.Kirril with add an extra thump to your heart, and with Sasha you'll end up admiring her for her sheer determination/will power to prove that she belongs in this mans dominated sector. I read the deception trilogy and knew about Kirill and his bodyguard Sasha since then, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read an entire trilogy or even a book about them. However, I love everything Rina Kent puts out there, so I started this one with a grain of salt and ended loving it from the start. The story started with a bang and I loved the first few meetings between these two. They are both strong characters, though both suffer from nightmares about their respective pasts. Not only did they help me, but they also helped you and offered you warmth and shelter from a deadly storm. How are you supposed to protect your soldiers if you can't display gratitude to your benefactors?" It's amazing how Rina Kent can make the most honourable and great characteristics seem insufferable😍 Anyway, if you like softies who everyone considers a baddie, you'll be in for a treat. Watered-down anti-heroes for the win. 🥳
The suspense, the brutality, the sensuality between Kirill and Sasha. The love of family that brought the story to an awesome conclusion. All of it was amazing. It’s safe to say the timeline for the first book is before any of the events of Deception trilogy/ Thrones duet happens ! Okay I should probably stop referring to the heroine like she is a real person, I think I'm dissociating from reality stars. Books where a female disguises as a man are just so funny to me as a concept. Before going in, you just know that everybody and their mother is gonna be blind at best, hella dumb at worst and delusional as an immutable law.I just love clowning myself and following in the footsteps of my fav man Sisyphus —repeating the same meaningless task , in my case — trying to find common sense in the contemporary romance genre only to come up empty. 😍 A fan of Greek mythology and absurdism inside me is too strong of a bad influence. As I sprint the length of the vast garden, my breath catches at the sight of the gigantic trees surrounding the property and the calming white that extends as far as the eye can see. My brother shakes his head more in resignation than anger. “You’re never going to grow up, are you?”
executing 6 months long plans to get into Kirill's office for documents she assumes might be there. What even is this plan?? She doesn't know what files she is searching for or if he is involved😭 She doesn't know anything at all!! What leads is she following to waste so much time?? He’s already on my side. He just doesn’t know it yet.❞ I'm a Kirill-Adrian stan from now on. Aiden-Adrian who? He’s one of the exceptions to the blond genes running in the family. His hair is dark brown and often styled to perfection. While I’m always looking for trouble and riling up my cousins so they’ll join in, Anton is the manifestation of collected and a bit boring. There was a lot of action in this book, the story was intriguing and kept my interest from start to finish, as with most Rina Kent books. Kirill was obviously the same guy that we saw in earlier books about the Russian Bratva (Deception Trilogy, Throne Duet). He was always a handsome but dangerous guy with his own secrets and was always looking out for number one. Kirill is the same in this book, but we get to see inside him in this one and find out why Sasha was with him and still pretending to be a man.how JP Kirill gets. He almost blows a gasket when he finds out Sasha is hanging out with the men when she doesn’t need to. I luuurved it 😈. It led to the amazing sauna scene that I mentioned above We get to see the scene where Rai (drunk) walks into the office where Kirill/Sasha are about to have sex and this is where she believes that Kirill is gay and with his bodyguard and instead of shoving Sasha under the bus, he protects her. Allows Rai to have something over him and owe her a favor.
Great Deal
