Awesome start to a great series! Definitely worth checking this one out!
I’ve wanted to read this book for a while, I cant believe I haven’t read it until now. Justine’s life is one battle after another, as her guilt tries to right her wrongs of her past. When nikolai enters her life, its like the past, present and future clash. She doesn’t know what to do with this demanding dangerous man. But the chemistry between them is incredible. I love nikolai’s fierce protection towards justice and I cant wait to see where this story goes.
Nikolai will have you fanning from page one. Bad boy with a huge ego and a alpha pride to the bone. He claimed Justine from the moment he saw her. he is hardcore mafia. Killed without conscious . The sexual tension was off the charts. It seemed Justine was overwhelmed by Nikolai’s personality from the beginning. She showed a little spunk here and there. Fast paced and a quick read. We have a lot to look forward to in coming books.

*swoon* Nikolai
I did not just read this book, I inhaled every word, seeking out each sentence like it might be my last. I couldn’t stop once I’d started and every moment had me dying to know what happened next.
I must have thing for cocky, tortured, bad boys because oh my god is Nikolai totally panty-meltingly hot as hell. I was fanning myself and swooning I honestly don’t blame Justine for feeling more than a little hazy with lust whenever he got near her
Speaking of lust, my god the sexual tension in this book was intense. I was on the edge reading it at times dying for Justine to finally give in. And when she did… *Faints* hot, hot, hot.
You all need a Nikolai in your lives, trust me. And I need the next book
This book is intense, hot and will have you so caught up in Nikolai and Justine. He is Mafia all the way with an alpha persona to rival Hannibal. He and Justine are like gasoline to fire and when they ignite it sets off explosions all over the place. This action packed story will definitely be memorable making sure that you will read the next book in the series! I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Nikolai is the Mafia Prince. Abiding by family rules. Until an altercation has him placed under house arrest… in his attorneys house.
Justine is an intern and Nikolai has her on his radar. Wanting her to counsel his case.
But as the weekend goes on, so does the fight Justine has to give in to Nikolai and the electrifying lust swirling between the two.
Justine – “He is the reason fathers buy guns, and women buy sex toys. He is the ultimate representation of sex, intrigue, and mystery, while also displaying he’ll be your worst nightmare.”
Justine has a past and the reason she moved to Vegas was to help her brother.
But one weekend with Nikolai and he changes everything. She starts to uncover the real man behind the mob and gets a glimpse at the man who has captured her attention.
Nikolai- “The less clothes I had on, the more chance your scent had to imbed into my skin,”
As always the chemistry is hot between the two characters, Nikolai is out to make you swoon and the story line keeps you intrigued and you always crave more!
ONE STEAMY TREAT!!!
OMG! A whirlwind with a myriad of spiraling emotions burst forward. All the drama, action, uncertainty and suspense brings all the pieces together for one wild ride. An incredibly intense storyline and gripping plot kicks this baby up a few levels. A coiling eddy of vexing circumstances and surprising array of events that keep you flipping page after page. The characters are realistic along with personalities and depth that add a little spice to the mix. The scenes are so graphically descriptive and detailed it bursts with every color on the spectrum. Amazing job Shandi, thanks for sharing.
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Nikolai has been put on house arrest and that is when he stays at his attorneys house. Justine is a beautiful red haed Nikolai thinks she is gorgeous and he is dominant alpha male. The chemistry between these two are off the charts hot and steamy.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

He Is currently waiting for his lawyer. Meet Justine, she is a woman with a past but she is set on creating herself a future as an attorney, she is the intern.

Very interested in book two.

The two main characters of this story are Justine and Nikolai, they come from very different worlds, when they meet there is no escaping their chemistry. The author does a good job of giving the backstory and so this gave the characters more depth. This is an interesting start to a new series.

This is exciting, intense, suspenseful, emotional, heartbreaking, heartwarming, intriguing and so much more. No spoilers just read the blurb. This is such an involved story you need to read it. It kept my attention and kept me awake till late. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
I have read several of Shandi Boyes’s novels before, but I have to say I think that the Russian Mob Chronicles will be my new favorites from her going forward. Nikolai: A Mafia Prince Romance is so far my top favorite of hers, and I look forward to seeing if she tops it with her upcoming books in the Chronicles. I was blown away with how exquisite Boyes writing allows the story to just flow effortlessly for the reader once again. I was consumed from beginning to end and found myself finishing this novel fairly quickly in one sitting. I just couldn’t bear to walk away from it for one moment.
MmmMmm… I love secret love affairs. Shandi hit it out of the ball park with Justine and Nikolai. It wasn’t an easy wham bam and all steamy love scenes type of novel either. There were layers of stories and many different things going on that brought things together and led them to where they were. I am highly curious as to how things will eventually play out in the long run for everyone. I wouldn’t say this necessarily ended on a cliffhanger, but there is more to this story that I need to find out as soon as possible!
