Dmitry
When your family is part of the Russian mafia, and you own the most exclusive club in Barcelona, no one messes with you, and everyone wants to be with you.
I’ve become accustomed to getting what I want around here, especially when it comes to the ladies.
Then she walked into my life. Vitoria, a smart, funny, gorgeous girl with the heart of a saint.
What can I say, I was really falling for this one.
But she’s wound up in some serious trouble with the rival gang that could end up being the death of us both.
At least that’s what they think. I’ll protect her no matter what.
They have no idea who they’re f***ing with!
Dmitry is a stand-alone novel with no cheating, a healthy dose of steam, and a happily ever after. I’ve also left you a little bonus content for your enjoyment.

Vitoria Mata leaves her university to go back home to Barcelona, Spain due to her mother’s illness. While at the hospital, Vitoria discovers that while there are treatments that could cure her, they are very expensive, and her father cannot afford them. Her father has ties with the Spanish mob group Audaz, though her parents have worked to keep Vitoria away from their influence. When Vitoria is approached by Roberto (one of Audaz’s leading men) to do a job for them in exchange for full payment of her mother’s medical bills, Vitoria jumps at the chance. Roberto states that she must seduce Dmitry Volkov, the nephew of the head of the rival Russian Volkov faction, in order to learn the Volkov’s secret plans for their upcoming attack on the Audaz group.
Dmitry Volkov, a tattooed, former hockey player, is an unrepentant ladies’ man. He has lived in Barcelona for the past three years, helping his family run their clubs and enjoying the sun, beaches, and the Spanish women. The Audaz group feels that he will be an easy mark for Vitoria.
Vitoria arranges an “accidental” meeting, which turns into a date on Dmitry’s yacht. The couple feel a connection, which causes Vitoria to feel torn about lying to Dmitry. Once again, Roberto holds her mother’s health over her head, so she feels she must continue with the deception. Meanwhile, Dmitry’s superiors have taken notice of his interactions with Vitoria, and apprise him of her connections to Audaz.
Will Vitoria go through with the deception? Will Dmitry want to continue the relationship now that he knows he has been deceived?
Love the cover! I thought that the idea behind the story was pretty interesting, and some of the beginning scenes actually did grab my attention. I began to get a little frustrated with the story for its lack of depth. Once Vitoria arrives on Dmitry’s yacht, it was like I was watching little snapshots of events, without really knowing how the couple got there. There was a lack of dialogue to create a connection, and I had a hard time believing that the couple fell madly in love after only two dates. I also do not believe that any mob family would have gone so easy on a rival intent on killing them- that rang particularly false to me. The story felt like it was being told to me instead of shown to me. The ending was also rather odd in that the story just stops.
So overall, there were some good ideas, but the execution wasn’t quite there. It’s okay if you want about an hour of light entertainment, but don’t expect the earth to move beneath your feet while you read it.
I received an ARC of this novella, and I voluntarily chose to write an honest review.
