About this listen

Desperate to find her sister, Erin goes to the only man in Houston who can help her—Ivan Markovic. The intimidating, tattooed Russian operates one of the most elite mixed-martial arts training centers in the world, but it's his shadowy past and reputed connections with Houston's underworld that interest her most.

To find her sister, she'll need the help of her big, scary Russian protector—but asking for help from a man like Ivan carries a steep price, one that might just include her heart.

Under 3 hrs - Start to a fun series

So I have mixed feelings about this book. I'm apparently going through a mobster phase so these Russians were next on my list. The rest of the series comes in at the normal(ish) length you expect from books but this first one is under 3 hours. (Don't waste a credit - just buy it.)

Erin is searching for her pill-popping/shooting sister on the streets of Houston and turns to a brutish Russian guy who runs a fight training facility. The story is rushed, but the timing would suggest that. Ivan is a heavily tattooed orphan that will be our introduction to a group of single hot Russian mafia guys. There's not much else to tell without ruining the short story.

My main beef with it is that with the interesting books to come, why sell this one short? Perhaps going back and bulking it up would have been a good idea before bringing it forward because the author loses the change to give her first couple a good story. Instead, it feels rushed. There's also the setup - a group of orphaned single guys with no loves in their lives meets a group of single girls with shady parental backgrounds. It's took good a setup for a series and life doesn't always end up this way... but we're in this for another reason, amIrightladies? So it's forgiven.

Not bad, fun quicky

I like the series, they are not too deep or complicated, but good quickies. Pet peeve though, I'm Hispanic and it drives me crazy the stereotypical Mexican accent and the fact that the Spanish speaker pronounce the silent H In hermano and she pronounces Guhz-man instead of gooz-mawn. But that's me being particular.

Wanted it to be longer!

What a great start to the series, I wish it was longer but for the cheap price tag it was a bargain with how good the story line is!!!

Hot Romantic with Love & Suspense!

A romantic love story with a Russian Hunk who knows how to take care of himself as well as the woman who walked into his life and turned it upside down. She also made him realize that even a man like him, who had paid for the terrible things in his past, still could find and be loved in return if he was willing to walk that line between black and white to help save her and her sister from men like he fought so hard to not become.

A nice start to a new series.

It was a quick story and a nice start to a new series! I liked the characters and the flow of the story. I would not mind having an Ivan for myself! I will be getting the next book in the series!
