MAKSIM is a standalone mafia billionaire romance.more
I really enjoyed this story. I absolutely love Maksim here is an absolutely Bratva king. As far as Cassandra goes she loses me. Not fond of her at all. She is the reason behind the four star rating. Other wise it would be five. The writing and flow of this book is done well. I highly recommend this book.
Maskim has the different layers he shows his soldiers, the employees of his legitimate businesses, his enemies, his family members and those he loves. When he finds Cassandra, the daughter of his most hated enemy, he has to shift his thinking and try to understand what he can use her for when her father was responsible for the death of his wife and others close to him. Cassandra has the strength to resist some of the strongest influences in her life, but can she resist Maksim when she knows he just wants her to get to her father?
I loved, loved, loved this story. There was something about Maksim that really tugged at my heartstrings and despite all that he was responsible for as head of the Bratva, I wanted the best outcome for him. The heat between Cassie and Maskim was sizzling. The intensity of their relationship was so important in making the story so enjoyable.

Love it!!!
He is out for revenge and ends up with something unexpected
Maksim is the second book in the Heirs to the Bratva Empire series and is about Maksim and Cassandra. He is the head of the Akimov Bratva and she is a reporter and the daughter of the man who killed his wife. So no potential issues between them at all right??? There is revenge, violence, murders, mystery, a mother’s quest to find the child taken from her, kidnapping, attraction and a while lot more.
While I enjoyed this nicely written and somewhat dark mafia story it was a bit up and down for me. I was not expecting the story about Cassandra and her missing child so that kind of hit me out of the blue. I was scratching my head over some of the actions of the main characters at times as they just did not seem to fit to me. So overall I thought this was an okay story.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Very sexy
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, hot and steamy, lust and passion, strength, happiness with a happily ever after. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

Now That’s a Boss
Maksim is the Bratva Boss I’ve been waiting for!! True to his word the whole way through the story and never apologizing for his actions. A true King! I love the way he demands loyalty and respect and doesn’t flinch an inch…even when is comes to Cassandra. And Cassandra a true mafia princess who can handle herself; she is a badass heroine! I love how she just takes charge and demands Maksim surrender to her and he dies without even realize the spell she’s cast over him!! Their story draws you in and sinks hook into you too keep you wanting to know more!
Maksim is focused on revenge and he has a lot to be vengeful about. Cassandra is the daughter of his sworn enemy. Maksim plans to take her and break her. That won’t be easy. Cassandra is an investigative journalist. She is estranged from her father and has her own secrets & darkness. Their interactions are audacious, heated and will have you on edge. Told in alternating POV, this mafia billionaire romance is a violent, passionate & engrossing page turner.

Very intense and emotional. Maksim wants revenge badly and he will do all he can to make it happen. Cassandra is just a pawn but she will do what she has to for her career and get her daughter back. These two people need each other and romance unexpectedly develops between their plans. A page turner, very exciting roller coaster of feels. If you love mafia romances you will love this one.

Maksim will get even with his enemy and he will use his daughter Cassandra to do it. Cassandra has spent a life time running from her father and his criminal enterprise but she knows one truth the only way you really leave the mob is when you die.Now her father’s enemy will use her greatest regret against her he wants revenge for all the death caused at her father’s hand it’s very personal. Cassandra thinks if she exposes everything about the gangs and mob the Bratva she will get to walk away but she’s wrong it only starts a dangerous blaze that can’t be put out without sacrifice and more death. Maksim will sacrifice all he has to protect Cassandra what will Cassandra be willing to sacrifice if it means losing the only man she loves Maksim. There’s a very fine line between love and hate and they will break all the rules. Maksim may think he holds all the cards that he’s in charge but Cassandra is strong and determined more then a match for this tough Bratva boss.
I was allowed to receive and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.
Have you ever read a book that when you read the last page, you sat there and thought…..wow! If you are looking for that next kind of read, pick this book up. What a great mafia style read. It is a vengeful war between two mafia families but is there really a winner? Maksim is out for revenge as his family was killed by a rival mafia boss. His revenge is to kidnap his daughter, Cassandra and use her as a toy. This story has many twists and turns and is forever on the move as this tale unfolds from beginning to the end. Never a dull moment that is for sure and I was hooked from the beginning. Look for the extended epilogue as well that this author wrote for Maksim and Cassandra. Great read, enjoy!

My sworn enemy murdered my wife in cold blood. I’ve spent years mourning what he took from me. Now, the time has come for revenge. His daughter thinks she escaped from her father’s underworld. But I’m coming to show Cassandra that she can never run from me. I’ll find her. I’ll claim her. And I’ll Make. Her. Mine.
This mafia romance is really good. I enjoyed all the time that I got to spend with these characters and their story. There are so many lies and twists and turns in this book that your head just might be spinning. However revenge can be so sweet or it can be exactly what you need when you find a true surprise in this book. I loved it and can’t wait for the next one in the series.
Loved it!!!
OMG this was my first read by this author Nicole Fox and it won’t be my last book either. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down because it was dark, twisted and so freaking HOT!! I can’t wait to read more from Nicole Fox.
I had to finish this book. Maksim is so dark and delicious. So much carisma your A typical alpha male also the Boss to the Bratva Brotherhood in NYC. Cassandra is a kick-a** investigative reporter that is going to bury Maksim. There is so much tension, action, Bratva and Italian Mob killings and in the middle of all the hate and death after you lose the only thing that matters there is a rebirth. There is the forgiveness, passion, and love you are totally exhausted because you fought the fight with Maksim and Cassandra and you came out alive. Remarkable story.

OMG !! I absolutely loved Maksim and Cassandra’s story. Danger,death, anger, hate, lies, and so much more made this book impossible to put down. The chemistry between the characters was hot, hot, hot. I was totally captivated and riveted to every single word until the last word. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing dark read.
I am so thankful that I never listened to that saying to never judge a book by its cover because I have always found my favorite books that way and this one was no exception! This is the first by Nicole Fox that I have read but it definitely won’t be my last! Even now that I have finished the book, I can’t let it go and I just want more!
Maksim is the leader of the Bratva and he has suffered to many losses due to the Balducci Family and he finally has a plan to get even, he is going to use Balducci’s own daughter against him. Cassandra walked out on her family 10 years ago, after her father took her newborn child away and tried to tell her it was better for her this way, after all the baby could be used against the family. Now that Cassandra is back in the big city, ready to take on a new job as an investigative journalist. She soon realizes that even though she left the family she will forever be linked to it and everyone, including her new boss will remind her of that. When Maksim lures her to a park to tell her he knows about her daughter and that he will help her find her Cassandra can’t believe it but what he wants from her in return is extreme, she must come live with him and do as he says or he will make sure she never sees her daughter. As they spend time together they both feel drawn to each other but they are both harboring secrets, the kinds of secrets that can ruin lives.
This book sucked me in so hard from the beginning and I couldn’t stop reading it!! Maksim makes me want to come from a dangerous crime family just so I can have the opportunity to be used as a bargaining chip!! He’s the kind of man that earned respect and shows it just as much, he loves his lieutenants like family and seems to know the bulk of his employees from the legitimate businesses too. Cassandra has been treated like a pawn her whole life, always treated as what she can offer the family vs who she is. When she walked away from her family she did everything in her power to survive and flourish so she would be able to remain free and she is one of the strongest female leads for this! She constantly tries to defy Maksim just to remind him that he can’t fully control her and she actively works to expose the mafia underworld for her job.
The plot itself was amazing and I loved it. The chemistry between Cassandra and Maksim was hot as all get out, the way that they push and pull against each other and fight for dominance it extremely pleasurable to read. I will saw some of my favorite moments are when Maksim stops acting like a Bratva boss and is just acts like a normal man… plays a game, talks about a book, runs around the house. I really can’t say anymore without giving everything away but I will say I highly recommend the book and I hope others get to enjoy it as much as I did!
