This
was my first Belle Aurora read, and I loved the hero – Lev. He was just so
sweet and caring. A man that “wasn’t good with words” but was so protective and
loyal to the ones he loved. His family is close, and when he sees a woman
taking something that doesn’t belong to her, he calls her out on it. He tells
her that he is going to put her to work and also gives her a place to stay.
What he doesn’t know, and either does she, is that he has connections to her
past with a distant relative. Mina, oh Mina, dear Mina! Not my favorite
heroine, but she’s had a tough life. One that for the past seven years has had
her living on the streets. Her relationship with Lev, however, seems to grow as
time goes by. Not just a friendship, but something more intimate. She cares for
him immensely, but sometimes I thought that she treated him like a child. And,
believe when I say that the author’s description of him is NOT one of a
child!! He’s ALL MALE!!! I wasn’t too
keen on her relationship with her brother as it takes off too fast. They never
even knew the other existed. So, how can they be chummy chummy all of a sudden?
There was a great cast of friends and family, however. Like I say they
supported and protected each other unconditionally. But, Lev’s past
indiscretion has left him in the mercy of another that has a tragic outcome,
which could have been a huge problem if the circumstances were different. This
book had me mesmerized by the hero, and I was surprised with what the author
had in store for him. He just was so innocent and sweet. Yes, he had those
moments that included that he stand-up for his family. But, it was all in love,
honor, and loyalty that he did it for. Looking forward to reading more from
this author...
