This
was a difficult one to read. So much heartbreak was involved with one damaged
male. He was drugged and taught to kill at a young age. Stolen from his family
when just a young boy as he watched his family massacred, he’s known as only a
number, “221”. The man is so far out of touch with reality. He doesn’t ever
speak and is controlled totally by a drug and his “master”. But, when he is
rescued, due to a debt owed from an unidentified man, he’s confused and not
sure who to trust. This is Zaal Kostava’s story of finding love with a Russian
mafia’s boss’ daughter, Talia Tolstoi. The two families are enemies, and it’s
not possible for them to disgrace either family. But, they find their most
precious soul mate in each other. “You
are for me. I am for you.” – spoken as only truly infatuated lovers do.
The
story is narrated in three POV’s – Talia, Zaal’s, and Luka’s. I liked how the
author included more of Luka and Kisa’s story and put more of a finalized spin
on it. So, you really have to read Luka’s story first before continuing on with
Zaal’s. Luka is still trying to find his way and how to deal with the reality
of who he’s supposed to be with Kisa’s help, which only promises to solidify
their bond of forever. With little Russian phrases within the pages, we get a
true sense of a more romantic flaire. And, that ending with Luka and Zaal
realizing their true bond, was just perfect! I can’t gush about this book
more!! The only complaint that I had was the quickness of Zaal and Talia coming
together. It just seemed a little rushed. I needed a little more time for Zaal
to find himself after he was just rescued. I love this series, and I can’t wait
to read the next book that seems only fitting that it will explore more of the
Kostava family...
“Be strong. Keep
strong.”

AND, THAT COVER IS
JUST AMAZING!!!
