Corrupter.I expected the Russian Mafia to have some secrets on their luxury yacht when I stole it.I didn’t expect a beautiful, wilted angel, held captive in the walls of a sadistic red room.The men I’m running from were going to ruin her. Instead, I painted the room with their blood.I saved her, but there’s something about her that drives me wild and makes me want to … her that drives me wild and makes me want to possess her. She pushes my buttons, and when her amber eyes burn into mine, I don’t resist my urges.
This foolish girl doesn’t know what she’s in for.
Or maybe she does, and she just likes playing with fire.

Autumn is an American student who is kidnapped by the Bratva, and rescued by Vladimir who will protect her by any means. This is a well written story which had me intrigued and enthralled throughout, with plenty of drama, thrills, twists, suspense, passion, and is an intense and gritty read. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all.
This was a good steamy novella, and a pleasant surprise!
There was not much of a story involved. The H fell for the h just because she was there. When he has to save her in was all over in a second.
Russian mafia rescue/romance. Nothing original but characters likeable
Good read but not as good as some of the other books I’ve read by this author. Those were much better.
After taking care of the men who thought they could send an assassin after him because he wouldn’t comply, Vladimir takes a yacht, but he didn’t expect to find the terrified woman, stunned by her beauty and her fate now in his hands.
Finally discovered, the man she sees is different from the others, he looks dressed to kill and straight from a romance novel, she wants to devour. For some reason she knows Vladimir sees through her and really sees her, she feels safer around him and he promises he will protect her, but she can’t go back to Russia or the men will find her and she’s coming to America with him.
The more time he spends with her he knows he likes having her around, he wants to protect her and keep her with him. He feels overly protective of her, the way she responds to him, he knows she likes it, he wants to keep her at his side and knows he’s going to show her just how much he will protect her, he didn’t get all the Bratva and they will come for her, but he knows he won’t let anyone take her from him now he’s found her.
Vladimir and Autumn’s story is action packed and full of suspense, violence, passion and twists that pulled me into the story. Vladimir decided it was time to leave the Russian mob so he eliminates his enemies and steals their yacht where he finds Autumn locked in a secret room. Even though Vladimir was a dangerous man I really like how protective he was over Autumn. These two go through quite a journey to get their HEA.
I always love Alexis Abbott’s Russian Mafia stories!! She always makes you love the “bad boy” who you should stay away from! I loved how Autumn and Vladimir knew what they wanted and just what the other needed! I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us!
4.5 stars
Another intense action adventure from Ms. Abbott. Vladimir is a man who did what he had to do. Growing up was not ideal and he was exposed to a lot of unsavory things which brought him to where he is today, working for men that he loathes. However, that is all about to change. What he does not factor into the equation is the stowaway, Autumn, that he finds on the yacht who was being held against her will. Despite all of his reservations about the woman, he feels compelled towards her and will protect her. For all that Autumn has had to deal with in her life, she is taken aback by Vladimir but the more time she spends with him, she learns to trust. The chemistry between them is unquestionable but is she a risk that Vladimir is willing to take on? This is one well written, raw, and gripping storyline filled with unexpected twists and turns.
I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
Oh my goodness this book had me from the first chapter! I could not help but love the bad boy alpha. I loved that he has no problems going after what he wants.

Their push/pull bantering and blisteting hot chemistry keeps you turning pages to see what will happen next. Fantastic storyline. Autumn is kidnapped. But why and by whom?

However on his way out he decides to take the bosses luxury yacht. What he didn’t expect to find in that yacht is Autumn who has been stolen from her own life and in a red room that would freak out the most experienced Dom. This book is absolutely amazing and I loved every single second of it. You don’t want to miss this one.

When he steals his their yacht, he comes across a surprise. Autumn is an American and was going to be studying in Russia, until she is kidnapped and stowed on the yacht. These two have such an intense attraction for each other. They are two sides of the same coin. They complete each other so perfectly. There is darkness and a lot of action on the high seas, some twists and some intensely hot chemistry. The storyline keeps you glued to the end. Vladimir and Autumn are so perfectly fit for each other and Vladimir will protect Autum to his dying breath.
Suspense, action, fast paced, wonderful characters with a well written storyline. This has a kidnapping, hitmen, the mob and so much more. Autumn and Vladimir have hot steamy chemistry and their adventure kept me intrigued. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is an intense and exciting story. Stealing a yacht will get Vladimir more than he bargained for when he finds a captive hidden on board. This is a suspenseful and action packed story with some darker themes and a sexy, strong and dangerous man who will protect Autumn to his last breath. Another sexy mafia romance by one of my favorite authors.

This is an absolutely captivating story.
Loved this story. It has wonderful characters and a great storyline. Vladimir is taking off on a luxury yacht after taking care of some business. He just didn’t know he had a kidnapped woman in the walls of the yacht. Autumn is being held cative, only she has no idea by whom or why. When Vladimir finds her they are both thrown for a loop, because neither of them knows what to think of the other. With the people who kidnapped Autumn chasing them, they find themselves trying to survive. Can Autumn trust Vladimir? Does Vladimir even care what happens to Autumn? Grab this beautiful story and find out what happens! It’s a great read and I definitely recommend it
What can I possibly say about this book besides it had me enthralled from the first page. It opens with an incredible scene, and builds on it. There’s tons of action, steamy scenes, and adventure that was thrilling for me. I think the story missed a few marks along the way, but not enough to take my interest off the story. I enjoyed it and hope to read more of Autumn and Vladimir in the future.
Autumn worked very hard for the scholarship that sends her to Russia to study. She hasn’t been in the country for 24 hours when she is kidnapped. Vladimir has eliminated the men that were planning his death, and is using the mob boss’s yacht to make his escape from Russia. Vladimir isn’t exactly shocked when he discovers the young woman that has been held captive in a secret room on the yacht, and will do his best to protect her from the men searching for her. Autumn isn’t sure she should trust Vladimir, but he will save her from the men hunting for her in order to turn her over to the man that was holding her prisoner.
Action packed, suspenseful plot with sexy, and well written characters. Fantastic, happily ever after romance. Loved it!
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and nonincentivized review of this ARC.
Alexis is queen of romantic suspense when it comes to hitmen and the mob! Trafficked was a high-octane, explosive story! I love it when a bad man has a conscience. Autumn was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and but Vladimir was drawn to her, and there’s no way he was gonna leave her behind. Their crazy, pulse-pounding escape was fabulous! And the chemistry was so hot! Loved it!
