WOW…JUST WOW!!!
Cora Kenborn is not only at the party for the best read of 2020…she is here…with a cigarette in one hand…a drink in the other….on the dance floor with two hot guys …flipping us all off…..and it’s highly possible she’s gonna burn the place to the ground….I am a big fan of her Carerra Cartel series…..but, in my opinion, she’s outdone herself with Darkest Deeds…
Niko Gaheris and Ava Chernova are two sides of the same coin…Ava is a mob princess fallen from grace and forced into a life of degradation and despair….and Niko is a hired assassin for the Cavalieri Della Morte, and his next job is to take Ava out….Both are such bad-ss characters in such a dark and twisted world….Their history, their chemistry, their story and their passion, whether in the form of love or hate…or blood…is just plain hot…I love this couple and I really love this book…
It’s no surprise Cora has created a sexy, bad boy and kick ass heroine with a dark a twisted past! Love her writing and this is another amazing read by this author!
I wasn’t expecting this to be as great of a book as it turned out to be. The was love, hate, revenge, blackmail, all the attributes of a great Mob story. Nothing is quite what it seems to be. Well done.
Dark romance is a new genre for me and not usually my go to, however, I found myself completely engrossed in this story from the very beginning. It’s filled with twists that are sure to hook you. The darkness inside the characters draws you in so that you can’t help but continue on to find out their fates. Cora Kenborn weaves a tale that captures you and doesn’t let go until long after the very last page.
is well written with strong characters that literally jump off the pages. Niko and Ava meant everything to each other since they were young until something happened that changed the course of their love and replaced it with doubt, hurt, and revenge.

Niko is the exact type of man I fantasize about having, and the exact type of man I want to read about. He is anything but saintly. He sets his own rules and never asks for permission. And above all else, he is a protector. But Niko is also a hitman with the Cavalieri Della Morte and when a hit is placed on Ava, it becomes personal.
Ava is resilient if anything. Uninhibitedly feminine, her poised sense of self is refreshing. Beaten down by her circumstances, she knows her chances of anything else is futile. That is until she sees…. . He’s back, but he is not to be her , he is to be her .

The action and suspense just keep coming in this book. It’s darkly entertaining and thunderously thrilling. The conclusion is a theatrical and astonishing finale, and is completely unexpected, but is so befitting of this seemingly hopeless love story.
4.5* !!!
Wow! This gripping, dark suspenseful Mafia romance has secrets, lies, twists and turns—some you see coming, some you don’t! As I love Mafia stories, this was hard to put this down once I got started. You NEED to READ! I wasn’t expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! Murder, mystery, suspense, betrayal, intrigue, thrills and passion continue to keep you glued to the pages of this fascinating story. This book is not for the faint at heart, and it may be hard for you to read with all the graphic details. Nikolai Garetovsky or Niko Gaheris is the name he is using now—a man with over 28 aliases. Niko is tall, very handsome and sexy, he is fiercely loyal to his family and will do anything to protect them; but members of the Cavalieri Della Morte are faceless men—he is an assassin who kills people without any regret, feelings or no conscience to do his job—give him a name/mark—his fee—and he will eliminate the target, no questions asked. Ava Chernova is the daughter or princess of the Miami Bratva, and her father is one of the most notorious Russian mob bosses in charge of Chernov Bratva. Sergei is very ruthless, cold-hearted, murderer, vile, and gives no mercy. Ava is a strong individual and an obstinate beautiful woman. Niko was given a job to kill Ava. Who would put a hit on someone like Ava? Will Niko be able to complete his mission? This is a thrilling and suspenseful story with lots of action about two battered souls who find one another. They each have their imperfections to deal with but their journey makes them realize that they can overcome anything and any impediments. This is the first time I read a book by Cora Kenborn, but I assure you, it will not be the last. Cora Kenborn you did it with a storyline that is fluid as well as steamy and disturbingly dark romance with grippingly dark and twisted plots with artfully developed main characters. If you enjoy Mafia romance where the bad guy shows just how good he can be, strong female leads, and revenge served up piping hot, then you will love this book. There are several twists and turns with the storyline that will pique your interest.
So far, every book that I’ve read in this series is amazing!! This book was thrilling, engaging and left me completely speechless. Loved every word and finished in one sitting.
Interracial love
4.5 stars
I liked this story and the book part of the Cavalieri Della Morte series.
It was my first read from the author and I enjoyed the writing style.
The story was a bit different from the others as it involved more the legal departments and it was an interesting ride with all the twists and turns that the book took over. Moreover , the relationship and chemistry between 2 members of rival families and the interracial connection between them added to the love story more that I expected.
A well written fast paced story that it’s definitely worth your time to read it.
Took me a bit before i could read this but once i did i couldnt put it down!
Loved it!
It seems this series just keeps getting better. What a twisted tale was weaved, if you can keep up with the twists and turns you are better than me. This was so unpredictable and I absolutely loved everything about it. You catch more bees with honey or orange blossoms in this case.
A Russian Bratva princess, a scared little girl, a monster wielding a knife, a stripper and a whore. Don’t accept anything at face value because their are many facets to be considered. It’s been eight years since ex-Russian Bratva Nickolai Garetovsky was exiled. He’s now known as Nick Gaheris one of the Cavalieri Della Morte’s assassin’s. His target the Russian princess, he’s never failed before, but this one is personal.
First book I have read by this writer. But another amazing book in the Cavalieri della Morte series. Ava and Niko are not fairy tales and roses their story is complicated from the beginning. Niko is a hitman who is given the job of killing the one person he never expected he would ever have to face again. But he wants his revenge. But this person won’t go down so easy as the others before her. This is definitely a dark read. You are catapulted from the first page to the last. I absolutely loved the storyline between Ava and Niko. Intense off the charts heat hatred but yet steamy sexiness you could easily see. These two belonged together no matter what happened between them. Absolutely loved the twists and turns involved in this one. It will have you catching your breath until the end. An absolute must read. Another great addition to this series. I have to say this so far is my favorite one.
“We’re fucked up. We’re sadistic, and we do things most people would consider the darkest of deeds.”
You know what I love about this series, I’m finding new authors, ones I probably wouldn’t have read otherwise. Cora Kenborn included, I loved the plot, the characters, and the writing.
Darkest Deeds is part of The Cavalieri Della Morte, read as a standalone. I’ve read seven books in this series, and I’m being completely honest by saying you can read in any order. A brotherhood of dark, delicious assassins. It’s been one helluva ride so far. This is Niko’s story.
This story was written with pure grittiness. The characters were dark, depraved, and insanely twisted. Ava was a fierce heroine, I love that. With as many captive/dark romances I’ve read, I need that unique edge to keep me interested. And Ava was a spitfire, a fighter, and ultimately the real hero in this story. As far as I’m concerned. She didn’t need someone to rescue her on a white horse. She burned the enemies to the ground. That’s what made this story epic. I was throughly invested in Ava. No matter what she did or had to do to find her peace. The dynamic between Ava and Niko was off the charts dirty, sexy, a little dark. I think the author did an amazing job of taking us back to the past, most usually I get frustrated with past/present POV’s, but not with this one, I actually wanted more past. Yet, I still felt a connection.
If you like Mafia/Bravta romances, you’ll definitely love this one. It was action packed with suspense, mystery, lies, secrets, and most importantly twisted love. My favorite kind!
Not only did I highly enjoy this book in the CDM Series,
but I also found another new-to-me-author.
Really enjoyed this book from beginning to end.
One of my favorites in CDM. This book
really brings in all the punches. I
It was done pretty flawlessly. Can’t wait to read

Another amazing book in an incredible series!! It was totally unpredictable and kept me on the edge of my seat. It was an emotional story packed full of betrayal and twists & turns. Once I started I couldn’t put it down.
Wow!! This book was sinfully delicious. Dark, intense, twisted, dangerous and scorching hot, this is a book that quickly pulls you under and does not let up. Niko and Ava were pure perfection. These two wounded people were made for each other. Prepare yourself for an epic thrill ride that is filled with raw emotion, drama, suspense, brutality, twists, lies, secrets, betrayals and revenge. A simply amazing read!
What can I say except, job well done! I am not a spoiler, but this book had me from the first chapter and hooked until the last page wanting more! I loved the characters are real, the story is awesome, and the book very well written! I loved it hard. Many ups and downs. Many betrayals and secrets that come out. Some good, some not even close to being good. This author can write a book that’s meant to be read leaving you wanting more and more. I highly recommend reading for a story that will have you on the edge of your seat. It’s also has HAF scenes that will have you drooling and wishing it were you, just saying. You won’t be disappointed if you read, not even close.
I’ve read pretty much everything that Cora Kenborn has to offer and I have to say that she really knocked it out of the park with Darkest Deeds. She pulled me in right from page one and there was no stopping or putting the book down until the end. Darkest Deeds is as dark as they get but is written in such a way that the author leaves you wanting more. If you are a lover of mafia romance with dark themes, then this is the perfect book for you. The storyline will take you to the edge and leave you dangling as it is full of suspense and twists and turns. Niko and Ava will capture your attention and your heart as these two broken souls come back together to become stronger than ever in a twisted kind of way. This has been by far the best dark romance book that I have read…absolutely amazing and worthy of so much more than five stars!
BRILLIANT!!!
This has got to be, by far,one of the best books I’ve read in awhile. This story is full of unforgettable characters. The storyline is brilliant. Cora takes us on one hell of a journey with twists and turns you’ll never see coming. This is definitely one of those books you can’t put down. It’s gripping. It’s sexy. It’s not to be missed.
What a mind blowing read!! The story of Niko and Ava will keep you captivated from the beginning to the very end of this dark, twisty and delicious story. Niko is a hired assassin and has been hired to take someone out, but when we finds out who, he doesn’t hesitate to hunt this person down. Ava works in a not so legitimate club and has no way of ever getting out. Until one day Niko walks back into her life and she doesn’t know whether to run to him or away from him. These two characters have chart topping chemistry and you can’t help but fall in love with them. This story has so many twists and turns, your head will spin, but in an oh so good way. Also, the way this author describes the characters in this book you can actually envision what they look like! And I’m thinking Niko is pretty damn hot! I am a lover of Mafia style books and this one is in my top favorites. If you love a dark story that will bring out all your emotions, then this book is for you!!
