The Lark Notes:
If you liked Callum and Aida in “Brutal Prince” then you will love Ivan and Sloane. She is a fierce lady assassin tasked with taking down a Bratva Boss Ivan. Their banter and heat level is off the charts. Ivan is my forever book boyfriend ♥ – Sophiemore
Talk about action!!! A fast paced mafia romance with boxed heads and grenades taking out apartments. A female assassin, Sloane, takes a contract to kill a Bratva boss, Ivan. Neither was expecting the attraction to the other. Now they have a common enemy and a common interest in each other. Ivan will risk his life for her but Sloanes not a wall flower to hide when the fighting starts. What starts as an interrogation turns into an HEA with bullets flying.
I recieved an ARC in exchange for a honest review.
Emerald by Sophie Lark was an exciting and dynamic read! Not only does Lark deliver a read that is fast-paced and suspenseful, but she also brings the heat with sinfully delicious romance! The drama and action kept me interested, while the chemistry and heat between the characters had me begging for more!
Emerald’s characters were well developed, and the world building was perfection. With Lark’s writing I felt like I was the one sneaking through tunnels and escaping by rooftop – and don’t get me started on the heat!
Emerald will have you reading on the edge of your seat, and devouring every chapter! Read this sexy dark mafia romance today!
This was an exciting page-turner that kept my attention well. Sloane isn’t your run-of-the-mill damsel by no means. She is calculated and capable at what she does but everyone is bound to slip up sooner or later. It happens sooner when she has a close call with Ivan. Ivan is dangerous and obviously is not someone you want to mess with. I think he thought of Sloane as a puzzle he wanted to figure out. And whew their love scenes were so steamy! The story kept me guessing and I LOVED the ending! The only reason why I didn’t give it five stars was because I didn’t find the dark romance part of it to be very dark.

Ive got a new contender for favorite book boyfriend lol
Ivan, oh my god. I love him. Him and Sloane seriously share a soul and brain and it’s amazing, they’re the definition of soulmates. I loved reading their story so much.
Sloane is a stone cold badass assassin. She’s ready to take a well earned vacation after the job she just finished when an interesting challenge comes her way. Her target is Ivan Petrov, head of a Bratva crime syndicate, and also a badass in his own right.
A tricky little hiccup leaves Sloane Ivan’s prisoner. He’s impressed by her talents. She might be useful to him. Perhaps they could combine their skills and become an ultimate powerhouse.
Woohoo! I loved this fast paced story!
Don’t let the synopsis of Emerald fool you. Ivan may be a tough Bratva leader with men that cower at his size, demands, and show of force but Sloane is not one of his men. She is an assassin sent to kill him. They payout is huge and, even as she eyes his sexy, sleeping form, she knows she has to fulfill her contract. That is, until he captures her and holds her in a cell in the basement. Based on Ivan’s MO, Sloane should be dead, not sitting almost naked in front of him, leaning into his touch and wanting more.
Sloane’s character is great. She’s mouthy, insolent, and when it comes right down to it, can hold her own. She’s been an assassin for years and until Ivan, able to get in, do her job, and get out. By the time they find the body, she’s only a fleeting memory, one people never associate with dead body. Sloane knew going into this job that Ivan wasn’t going to be easy to take down. He’s much larger and stronger than she so convention wasn’t going to work. Ivan catching her and not immediately killing her allowed for one of the sexiest romances to bloom. They both have a maniacal mafia overlord breathing down their necks, each for a different reason, but if they work together, Ivan and Sloane may just take him down.
Sloane is Ivan’s match in almost every way, making this a book about partnership, exploration of unfamiliar feelings, and being ready to risk it all for the one you love. The book is filled with suspense, action, and thrilling moments. I love the characters in the Colors of Crime series. They are written well and are realistic. The suspense and twists in the story keep me on the edge of my seat. Lyrically, the author is a star. Her use of descriptive language, metaphors, and vivid imagery take this book to the next level. Emerald hits all of positives for story, character development, world building, passion, and suspense. I look forward to getting my hands on the next book.
EMERALD, A Dark Mafia Romance (Colors of Crime Book 5) by Sophie Lark
This is a very well written drama with plenty of action, danger, intrigue, suspense, throw in some sizzling hot chemistry, loyalty, twists and turns. Sloane is a hit woman for hire and Ivan is the bratva boss she is to take out. Obviously things so awry and do not turn out how Sloane thinks they will. Sloane and Ivan are so very well matched. I definitely enjoyed their story. This is a 5 star book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Emerald by Sophie Lark
This is an engaging story full of intrigue and passion. Once again, Sophie Lark takes us into the world of the Russian mafia, this time with Ivan and Sloane. Ivan is seemingly untouchable. However, his weak point is Sloane, the girl who was hired to kill him and failed. Ivan is intrigued by her. She got past all of his security and staff and made it into his bedroom to kill him while he slept, only to bested by Ivan. After a brief interrogation, Sloane and Ivan realize they have found their equal in each other. An equal, an ally. They join forces to figure out who is out to get Ivan. A great story!!!!!
Loved this dark mafia roman
Sloane is a hired assassin and she’s been hired to take out Ivan Petrov, a bratva mafia boss. But she ends up being captured by him and he wants to know who hired her to kill him. Too bad she doesn’t know that information, but Ivan is determined to find out what he wants to know by any means necessary. This is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Emerald is the fifth book in Sophie Lark’s Colors of Crime series and I believe it is the best book so far. It focuses on Sloane, Whit woman who takes down the biggest villains, and Ivan Petrov, head of Russia’s biggest Bratva Mafia family. Sloane takes an assignment to kill Ivan, but she fails and ends up his captive as Ivan needs to know who sent her. I recommend this dark mafia read with its complex characters, intriguing plot, and steamy chemistry.

Can he turn the Angel of Death into his own Angel of Love
Emerald is the fifth book in the Colors of Crime series and it is a great blend of Mafia, assassination, suspense, mystery, secrets, action and a whole lot of twists. This is a well written book with a great story-line that grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept it while I read. The characters are nicely developed with good back stories and depth to them. This book and characters have it all if you love some darkness and a whole lot of heated sizzle with your Mafia assassination stories.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Once I started I could not get enough from start to finish with all the twist and turns and adrenaline rush and excitement, suspense the book was fast paced. Sloan went to Russia to find out who killed her father. While thereþt she was given a job and while doing the job she gets caught. Sloan was thrown into a dungeon, while there she was not hurt she was pleasured into telling, who sent her. Loved the series so far.

This is a fast paced inta-love mafia romance. It is highly entertaining and easy to read. The main characters are individually strong but better together and I loved it. The punishments are sexy not sketchy and this couple is hot together.
A nice mix of action, emotion, and suspense.
Good fast pace read. Sloane and Ivan are not looking for love but stumbles upon them. Hot but it over the top. Loved the connection. I voluntarily reviewed this advance reader copy of this book
This is book five in the Colors of Crime series. First off, I have got to say that I have not read the whole series in order but it is not necessary. I enjoyed reading this story and getting to know Ivan and Sloane. Sloane is an assassin, she is being paid to kill Ivan and she attempts to with a syringe of poison but Ivan catches on and captures her. Ivan now has Sloane as his captive since she attempted to kill him. These two characters are immensely attracted to one another and compliment each other wonderfully. I loved reading the story as it unfolded and would twist and turn along the way. Enjoy!
