“You will be my woman for a year, servant to my whims and desires. I will not hurt you, unless you want me to.”
I’m in deep to the Mafia. My father was the one who made the deal, and when I inherited his club, I also inherited his troubles.
Ivan wants to save me, or so he says. More like he wants me to be his slave for a year. After the one-night stand I had with him, though, would that be so … him, though, would that be so bad? With his impossibly hard body, and the way he always makes me scream…
But he’s still a monster. He’s a criminal, and something so much worse.
And yet I can’t stop the tingling in my body every time I think of how he touched me, and those dark but delicious words rolling off his tongue, tinged with his Russian accent.
He knows what I’ll say, even before I do. “I’ll take your offer.”

Loved the book.
After her dad died he left her with debts that he owed to the Russian Mob. The collectors that came around started to get rough with her until the handsome stranger comes in and makes a deal with her. If she decides to take the deal she won’t owe anymore debt and she won’t have worry about the Amber Room.
Will she take the deal?
Desperate times can lead to unusual circumstances.
She never thought she be alone at 22. She never intended to run the bar, but life didn’t leave her any options. Owning a bar isn’t the hard part, paying the mafia debt she inherited as well is. Protection doesn’t come cheap especially if you didn’t ask for it.
He was a fling she needed for sanity and boy, did he give her more than she bargained for. One night to hold onto, until he comes back with the most unusual request…well, bargain really.
One year for her freedom…his for a year.
Alex Abbott brings a hit man to your door and you will invite him in. With a sexy accent and a body no woman would deny, Ivan will own you too. Enjoy it, mishka.
This was a great read. Beyond the steamy (which was delightful!), this was an honestly fabulous book. I will be lookin for my next Alexis Abbott book.
I don’t know what it is about hit men books that really draw me. I enjoyed Ivan and Katy’s story.
When Katy’s father passed away, she inherited not only the nightclub but also the debts he owed the Russian mafia, and she had to pay them every month. Unfortunately, the club didn’t make enough money and the debts were due soon. She was broke and unable to pay them at all. She knew that she would be in serious trouble when the collection day came. And when the thugs visited her place in order to remind her of the debts, she was so scared but at that point, she had no choice but to accept the consequences.
Ivan has worked as a hitman for the Bratva. He came to Katy’s club one day and sparks flew when they met for the first time. They had one scorching night together and never met each other again until three months later. Out of the blue, he came back to the club and offered her another option. In exchange for his protection, she had to be his woman for a year.
Heat level – Scorching hot.
Plot – Interesting and addictive.

Characters –
“You will be my woman for a year, servant to my whims and desires. I will not hurt you, unless you want me to,” he adds. There’s that smile again, not on his lips, but lurking in his deep blue eyes.
“You like it rough, don’t you, mishka?” Ivan whispers gruffly. He grazes my exposed collarbone with his teeth, eliciting a rattling moan from my lips. “Answer me.”
“But when you sentence them to death, aren’t you playing judge, jury, and executioner?”
Ivan stares up at the ceiling. “No. I am just the executioner.”
The book follows the age old adage of damsel in distress rescued by a knight in shining armor. But in this case, it’s the mafia hitman.
Katy loses her father and inherits his club along with the debt that goes with it. Will all the day to day stress of running a nightclub, she decides to take a night off and spend it with a tattooed stranger. How knew that stranger turns out to the hitman of the mafia that she owns all the money too?
Ivan and Katy’s characters are sweet and the story weaves beautiful around them. Their history is very poignant. But the only trouble that I had with the book was that it skipped months in between. This lead to a disjointed and smooth development of their relationship. It was quite jarring really. Also her quick belief of the letter was quite telling about her relationship. Other than that, it was quite a good read and a quick pick me up.
is is my first book by this author, received in an instant freebies email thing and I was not disappointed. Not your typical mafia book, some naughty erotic scenes, mystery and not predictable.
If the price is right I will continue the series!
If you like your romance dark,this is a great read.
Good escapism. A spark of adventure in an otherwise uneventful life.
Sexy, stimulating
If you are looking for a sugar sweet romance, don’t bother. This was a very dark, deep story, and you won’t be able to stop reading it. I gave it 4 stars because I believe there is always room for improvement, and I never give all 5.
With Katy losing her parents, her father being killed by the Mafia, Katy know owes the same debt her father did when he owned the bar, each month she pays a fee for protection.
After having a one night stand, Katy is surprised when he turns up and offers her protection all she must do is be his for a year. With everything going on Katy agrees to be Ivan’s for the year.
The two have sizzling chemistry and Ivan romances Katy, Katy learns the truth about her father’s death and Ivan tells her the truth about what he really does.
I loved the ending for both Katy and Ivan. Only disappointment was there was a lot of teasers for the other books at the end and the actual story finished at just under 50%
Decent but unrealistic book until the end. I do not recommend!
Very nice, and nasty. Must read.
Loved this book it was different story line..nice ending..
