The Beast stole me from the Devil . . . Anastasiya I was born a trophy owned by the Resnov Bratva, waiting for the day they’d collect.
My identity was engraved in their legacy, and my only purpose was to obey, to submit. I had no voice, and most of all, I had no choice.
I was promised to one yet stolen by another. Simeon Resnov was my savior, a different kind of beast. A beautiful contradiction … contradiction to the name he carried.
He hid the darkness in him so well.
Simeon
She was meant to sit on a mantel, waiting for her rightful owner to claim her. On that day, she’d be used until there was nothing left until her existence was nothing but blood on his hands.
But the moment I saw her, I recognized the pain in her eyes. It drew me in, entranced me, and turned into an obsession that demanded I have her.
So, I took her. I stole the girl branded to another, and now her broken soul is mine to mend…to break…
And mend again.

If you love dark mafia romance, you’ll love this action-packed read!
I gave this book five stars because it was awesome. Simeon and Asya were the perfect couple. They were like two peas in a pod. I don’t know what was up with Mikhail but I don’t trust him. Kosta is another person Asya should watch. Simeon mother is touched. I can’t wait to see what will happen to her. I can’t wait for the next book. Good job Amarie!!
Let me start by saying I am a huge fan. Be introduction to her was Fearless which was all about a Russian name Vassile.. (must read it)! I was captivated by the characters, the language and the story line. Now I’ve read all of the books but something about the Vassile and the Russian thing was super intriguing! So when it ended I was super sad and in walks SIMEON! This story had me hooked at the small exert at the end of Fearless III . In the midst of the world pandemic it was a welcomed escape. Sim and Asya jumped off the pages and came to life. It is a dark story but its the belly of the Bratva it had to be but it is a love story with so many twist and turns of two broken souls connected in the most unordinary circumstances. Jjust when you think you have it all figured out BOOM… you don’t. Always well written, complex, detailed and steamy… I love a good Alpha male tossed with a little bad boy with a strong female to push him and this is that all day! I wish (not really) I had something bad to say but I don’t other than I have to wait a month for Lawless 2! If you like alphas, bad boy, interesting plot, heat and love then you have to read Lawless.
As always this author never fails to hit the mark. This book is fantastic !!!! Definitely a must-read.
Simeon and Anastasiya have always loved each other. He was a hitman for the Russian mob and he taught her everything that she knew. Their sex is hot. If you want to read a story that is full of suspense read Lawless.

As an avid fan of anything Amarie Avant, I gobbled up Simeon and Anastasiya’s story. We met Simeon in “Fearless,” ruthless half-brother of Vassili. Elevated to Pakhan after the much deserved demise (by unnatural causes) of his father Anatoly, his first duty was to retrieve Anastasiya, who had left under suspicious circumstances four years earlier. Simeon had saved her when she was twelve years old, from being given to a man (when she became of age) who would own her for life. Needless to say, they both had major issues, but what was true was that Simeon loved Anastasiya more than life itself. This was a journey for the both of them to eradicate all of their demons, avenge the wrongs committed against them, and find their way back to each other through the strength of their love. I received an ARC for an honest review of “Lawless” and I give it five well deserved stars!
Good book. Great characters and the story was intensely dark and delicious.
I loved the ending.
When I say Amarie put her foot, leg and ass into this, she did! These two characters are rough around the edges, but once the wall is broken down you love these two together. It was steamy, exciting, full of twists and turns. Simeon helped build up Ana and they accepted each other flaws and all. This book is DEFINITELY worth buying and you won’t regret it.
Right when you think Amarie has wrote her best she goes and surpasses it! Lawless is the right amount of action and romance. Simeon is the man and he along with Anastasiya set this story on fire. You are glued to the pages so that you don’t miss anything. I absolutely loved this story. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Oh my damn!!! Oh my damn!!! Hot damn!!!! Mrs. Avant didn’t come to play but to slay. Slay she did with this book. What she came up with was an erotic page turner with mystery and action. This book is a story of redemption, forgiveness, acceptance, and unconditional love. Simeon took Anastasiya from the clutches of monsters and proceeded to build her up (redemption). It’s a story of forgiveness because we must learn to forgive ourselves for our actions (forgiveness). Simeon and Anastasiya accepted each other flaws and all, and loved dispite that (acceptance and unconditional love). Please pick up this book. It’s told in different points of view, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a hea. I highly recommend this book.
I really enjoyed this storyline it was suspendful had me wanting more.I love Simeon even if he is a killer so I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Wow, this was so deliciously written. I thought I loved Vassili in the Fearless trilogy, but I loved his brother Simeon so freakin hard. The new Russian Tsar is EVERYTHING!!! Sim rules with an iron fist. He is intelligent, and such an Alpha Asshole, BUT not towards the love of his life Anastasiya. His love for her is unwavering… yea prepare to melt everywhere!!! He is firm, but seeks to put her needs first…swoon! Asya is fierce in her own right and damn can she hold her own against her man. She has been through so much in her life, but she has definitely risen, and dare I say turned into a total badass. She would make the perfect Tsarina to rule the Russian Bratva, next to Simeon. Their chemistry is SCORCHING. They have challenges still to overcome, but Amarie keeps you thirsting for more of their story. I enjoyed the appearances of Zar and Vassili. Mikhail was very intriguing in this story, and I look forward to the role he will play in part two of this duet. You absolutely don’t want to miss this incredible #MAFIA story. Simeon is such a sh*t talker, and you’re going to love it!!! “Nyet. You know I don’t fu*k fair, girl.” Thank you Amarie for sharing your talent with us.
Ms. Avant consistently puts out some of the deepest, emotionally charged titles that can potentially snatch your entire soul. I never know what to expect in each storyline; however, I always expect and know I’ll be blown away. Lawless was no different. Simeon and Anastasiya’s story shows the consistency of an author who’s mastered the art of connecting with readers. I loved both characters and their struggles because it only made their getting together that much more explosive.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lawless to readers looking for a fierce love story with less than perfect leads.
