This is the first book in this completed duet—the story of Tatiana Nikolaev!

My husband.
His secrets.
Our tragedy.

I thought I knew him. I didn’t. I thought he was trustworthy. He wasn’t.

But nothing in this world is as it seems.

I caught the attention of the most notorious man in the underworld.

Konstantin wasn’t the type to be ignored. He commanded his criminal empire with an iron fist but he had secrets of his own.

But I was Tatiana Nikolaev. I’d never bend to a man’s will or be used as a pawn. Not again.

The moment I tempted the fates and played with fire, life spiraled out of control.

My only way of survival was to trust again.

But could I?

*This book is part of a complete duet.*

I have always wondered about Tatina and the obsession that Konstantin had on her. I knew there was something more while listening to Sasha's story.

I cannot wait for the second book.

LOVE this storyline

Oh gosh. I'm so happy I've discovered another author that I absolutely love. The story was absolutely one of my favorites. This is a duet though. So there is another one to read. The narrators were great and they made you feel every word.

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!!!!

I have quickly become a fan of Eva Winners. I love the audiobooks of hers that I've listened to so far! This had characters from the Belles and Mobsters series which added to my investment of these newer/new characters. I sat, glued to the book. I am so glad to have been listening while on the road so that can start the next book right away! The cliffhanger...... Ugh!

Tor Thom and Erin Mallon are EXCELLENT narrators. They brought this audiobook to life. Their voices are so easy to listen to for long periods of time.

Completely invested!

The only complaint I have is that there is no apparent resolution to the big mysteries in sight. What were once the burning questions that keep one engrossed in a story are fast becoming fizzled curiosities. I hope book two throws us a bone in the first few chapters or I’m thinking I might have to change things up.

Good but…

This starts off with a bang, quite literally, and that pretty much sets the tone—this book is exciting, packing all sorts of drama, angst, some stalker vibes, manipulation, so much corruption, business dealings and lots of steamy scenes.

Some tropes /qualities you may enjoy:

Violence.
Crime families.
Scandal.
Unexpected Pregnancy.
Enemies-to-lovers vibes.
Tragedy.



Audio:
I was surprised when I started this book and there was less-than-perfect sound quality, as this production company’s books are usually flawless. That said, Erin sounded like she was under water for this one—it was unpleasant. She also sounded winded throughout the entire book, absolutely panting, which could be a bit distracting.

The male was … okay other times and sometimes sounded robotic, just dictating the words, completely void of any emotion. Overall he did a decent job.

The overall production was still higher quality than a lot of audio productions I’ve heard—3.5 stars on this front.

Truly ... lusty. :)

Eva Winners does it again and pens another amazing mafia romance novel and a fantastic start to her new “Thorns of Omertà” series. “Thorns of Lust” is the first book of a duet and features Tatiana Nikolaev and Illias Konstantin. They have intriguing backstories, and together they make another intriguing story. This book drew me in and grabbed my attention right from the start and held it captive the entire time. It was like nothing else around me mattered except what was happening next. And believe me, a lot happens, the drama is non-stop, there are some emotional and heartrending moments, twists and turns, truths, lies, thrilling and suspenseful moments and a possessive and steamy romance. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Will Tatiana put all the pieces together of what happened to her late husband, who was behind it, and Konstantin’s connection to Adrain? Does Konstantin finally have Tatiana right where he wants her, will he truly have her? I am looking forward to what happens next in the second part of the duet “Thorns of Love”. Eva Winners, thank you for another amazing story and the wild emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 Tor Thom and Erin Mallon's narration is fantastic, humanizing the characters and giving each one a fitting and believable voice. Thom knocks it out of the park as Konstantin, the demanding alpha Pakhan, Russian accent and all. Mallon nails it as Tatiana, grasping all aspects of her persona. Both are just as amazing performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling them all. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.  

Terrific Story & Narration🎧Intriguing & Intense!

It was a good story with good characters. I listened to the two available audibles in the Thorns of Omerta series and would have purchased a third. The author writes a good story. The Russian accents were a little off-putting for me, but certainly tolerable.

certainly worth a credit

I really like the book and I like the characters I just don’t understand why do you have to make it two books? I’m getting ready to start the next one soon as I submit this review.

Did it have to be 2 books

Started off really well. But started getting confusing half way through. Entire chunks of the story are missing. Chunks that affect the course of the entire story. I think they are part of Sasha’s books, but they greatly impact this book. But they are just left out. Makes no sense. Also, what happened to looking for answers. She was all over the place looking, then she comes back from Russia and no mention of the search for almost 2 months. Seriously, that’s supposed to be a major plot in the story.

I don’t know why Elias doesn’t tell her he was the one who took her virginity. I think it would have made things so much easier for him.

Narration is excellent. Because of this, I will read the next book.

Meh
