She was never supposed to walk into my club. But she did. I shouldn’t have looked twice at her. But I did. The criminal underworld is no place for a girl like her. One night with Katerina isn’t enough, but men like me can’t afford to be weak. So, I tell her to leave me behind. She does, but not before she sees something she shouldn’t. When she goes into hiding, it’s my duty to hunt her down. I … she goes into hiding, it’s my duty to hunt her down.
I have a job to do, and she needs to disappear for good.
But four years later, Kat isn’t alone anymore.
And the little boy right beside her looks just like me.

What an amazing duo of authors: Natasha Knight and Ashleigh Zavarelli! I’ve read both of them individually for a few years now. Natasha with her Benedetti Crime Family series (among other notable works) and Ashleigh with her Boston Underworld series (also among other notable works). The two of them came together to give us Mine, another stellar entry into their already impressive body of writing. This is such a riveting read! This book is part of a duet. The next book, named His, releases in April.
Lev, a member of the Russian Bratva meets Kat, an innocent who encounters him one night in a night club. They both share an instant attraction but Lev is sensible enough to want to keep Kat out of his lifestyle. However, circumstances being what they are, this turns out to be an impossibility. And to make matters worse, Kat is privy to knowledge that can get her killed and Lev’s cousin, Andrei, a true psychopath, is just fine with destroying her. The story unfolds from there.
This yet another fine piece of writing from each of these authors. If I see a book is being published that is written by either of them, I jump on it. But a book coauthored by both of them? I’m sold without even reading the blurb.
As is usual with these two, the world building is perfect, the characters real and distinct, and the plot well executed and fascinating. I can’t say enough good things about this story. I started and finished it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down once I began. If you’re looking for a really good mafia romance, this book is for you. Highly recommended.
Lev is viciously seductive–he doesn’t win you over with hearts & flowers–he rips your heart from your chest and claims it as his own. Intense. Deliciously wicked. Mine is a dark romance masterpiece that leaves you desperate for more!”
Oh my gosh!! I could not put my Kindle down. I’ve been looking forward for this book & I’m over the moon that it delivered. I love everything about Russian Mafia stories
If you’re not aware already, this is a duet, so yes, it does end on a cliffhanger. Each book in the Ties That Bind series is co-written by Natasha Knight & Ashleigh Zavarelli. I am a very big fan of both these amazing author’s, they are an automatic one-click for me. So if you’re a fan of either author, I think you’ll love this book & be salivating to get the second instalment into your greedy little hands after devouring this one.
I loved the relationship between Levka (Lev) and Katerina (Kat). Not to mention the chemistry between them is chart topping and sizzling!
There’s an age gap, but it’s not a key factor.
While she’s a bit naïve & innocent, Kat has a very heartbreaking past. Lev just he screams jealous and possessive book boyfriend.
Lev meets Kat at his bar, and he is immediately drawn to her, but he knows he can’t bring a relationship into his world. So he figures a one night stand will do, until it doesn’t. He’s deliciously dangerous and edgy while simultaneously caring for Kat and once she enters his life, he determines that she’s not going anywhere and is his.
These two will take you on a dark & delicious ride of which you will never want to get off. I can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens to them! Bravo to these authors for a phenomenal read!
Dark, Dangerous and Delicious is exactly how I’d describe this book.
These two Authors are both fantastic when it comes to writing Mafia stories, so I knew I was in for one Hell of a ride.
I loved everything about this story, it was suspenseful, exhilarating and full of twists and turns. With secrets, lies, betrayal and jaw dropping revelations it was a thrilling rush from beginning to end.
Lev was the kind of Dark and Deadly character I love, this Russian Mafia Man ticked all my boxes.
I just adored Kat her history made her the strong resilient girl she is, she’s sweet, caring and head strong.
The connection between Kat and Lev was intense, passionate and possessive, the kind that’s hard to replicate and impossible to forget.
His Darkness and her Light was an intoxicating combination.
That cliffy….A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I need the next part right NOW.
