If you’re looking for a traditional mafia book, this is not it. Although there are elements of a mafiya, it is more of a backdrop in this story. I find this story to read more like a dark romance. It is and , these are the types of things in a story that my little black heart rejoices amongst.
The thing that I admire and appreciate about Lana Sky is that she has an aptitude to cultivate a story that is alluring and she writes without trepidation. She brings you the story barring any reservation. Her characters are always powerful and reinforce the plot foundation of her stories.
Mischa Stepanov is a cruel, impetuous monster that is driven by revenge in a blood feud that originated 24 years ago by Ellen’s family. He captures Ellen thinking she is her half sister, and because of her family’s transgressions he tortures her regardless that she is not the prima princess Briar Winthrop. Misha seeks to ruin Ellen with pain, brutality and bloodthirstiness.
Ellen Winthrop is marked as the fifteenth martyr in the blood feud. You empathize with Ellen Winthrop. She is downtrodden, but she has a strength within her that burns through and allows her to endure the castigations and cruelty she receives from both her husband as well as her captor. She petitions Misha to show mercy, but her fate is beyond any compassion he can offer.
There are secrets aplenty that will have your mind whirling with all sorts of possibilities, twists and turns that will have you unsure of the direction the story is heading and a cliff that will have you hanging by your fingernails.

Mischa Stepanov is one hot blooded mercurial, volatile and broody dude. He has my head spinning so fast I don’t know if I want to bang him like a screen door in a hurricane or put him down like the rabid dog he is. But beneath that temperamental spasmodic demeanor is a gentleness, a benevolence that peaks through every so often.
Ellen Winthrop is put through a blender and battered physically and mentally since her captivity. She is a survivor, she has endured her husband Robert’s abuse and mistreatment, and she will survive Mischa’s torture. Or will she? Mischa has found something that could break her, something that she is not familiar or comfortable with; .
VII is a quick paced, action packed read. Just as your blood is racing, and your mind is whirling and twisting, Ms. Sky detonates an explosive bomb that has you jumping up and down and screaming obscenities you didn’t think you knew the meaning of!

What a conclusion to an outstanding and remarkable series. It is dramatic, theatrical and completely unexpected. * , !! Lana Sky has presented a sumptuous serving of dark romance with her War of Roses trilogy. This story will keep you on your toes and begging for more. I have yet to pick up a book written by this author where I have not gotten completely wrapped up in her writing and the characters. Each story more captivating than the previous one. Stories that I didn’t want to put down until I had devoured every last word, and that I was left still thinking about long after I did. Lana’s distinctive writing style is refreshing and sets her apart from so many other authors and is fast becoming one of my favorites.
Mischa and Ellen’s story has gone from to to to . She has gone from a pawn to a queen and he from a captor to a king. The game is in check, and in most formal games the king is never captured, but in this game there are more players who would like to maneuver the king into a stalemated position. Is there a way to remove the threat before endgame? !!
This is the complete War of Roses trilogy and it will blow your mind! Mischa and Ellen are such great characters and their backstories are so well thought out and tragic that it makes their eventual HEA all the sweeter. This is a true enemies to lovers romance epic. I was so sad to say goodbye to them but will revisit them often.

This merciless saga continues with Mischa and Elle or Rose as Mischa calls her. Mischa, Leader of the Mafiya, maintains his brutal aggression towards Ellen. I keep waiting for things to ease up between these two, but so far it hasn’t happened. There is plenty of sex between them and when Ellen is injured Mischa takes care of her with a degree of gentleness. But then he continues on with his ruthless verbal assault. I didn’t put the book down reading each page with eagerness waiting to see a change between these two people and then another surprise ending.

I was mesmerized by this book, there is so much emotions in each of the characters. I could not put the book down from the first word to the last page. Lana has written a phenomenal series about a “Twisted game of Men and Money”, intrigue, suspense, and so many secrets. A love story that has so many facets, I was trying to figure how who were the evil ones and who were the good ones. You must read Book 1 and 2 before reading this book. You will not be disappointed. I never am with this author.

This is a box set of three and is both dark and compelling. There are many triggers involved with this story. However, I found it to be the best series I have read in a long time. Mischa wants her soul, but Ellen wants his love. These characters are impeccable in their presentation, you must wonder how much the human body and soul can tolerate without perishing. Excellent read!

An amazing dark read! I love the transformation of the characters. Mischa and Ellen both bring out the best in each other. Mischa encouraged Ellen to find her “wolf” and Ellen helped Mischa discover his humanity. I enjoyed watching the family they built grow, and can’t wait for more from this world!
