To save her life, I had to win the fight. To keep her alive, I'll have to get her pregnant. The second I see Shayna, I know she doesn’t deserve to be mixed up in this world. Innocent, beautiful... being used as a prize. She’s looking for answers in all the wrong places and I have to get her out of there. So I do what I do best: I fight and I win. When I take my prize home, my boss is waiting for me and gives me an ultimatum: get Shayna pregnant. If I don't, we both die. If I do it, he's going to snatch the baby away to replace his own lost grandchild. We aren’t supposed to fall for each other...but our time together becomes something more powerful than I could ever imagine. And when Shayna tells me she’s pregnant, I know one thing for sure… no one's taking our child away.

ARC Received in Exchange for an Honest Review. 
While I enjoyed the characters, the plot line was a little difficult for me to hold on to. The idea that there are these two Mafioso types that are at war, so one takes his prized underground fighter and demands that he knocks up a woman who he thinks is connected to his enemy. While the Boss was a little off due to a recent loss of his own, the reasoning fell a little short for me.

That being said, Finn and Shayna have so hot, sparking chemistry. I mean it is insta-lust from the moment their eyes meet. The sex scenes definitely get you hot and as long as you’re not thinking of why they have to get it on, you can really enjoy their romps.

I love me a good fighter and Finn proves to be one time and again. He’s extremely loyal and that hurts his and Shayna’s connection for a bit, due to tragedy in his past. His best friend, Cormac is another sexy man with fierce loyalty and while he is “clean”, he would do anything for his brother. That Irish accent is sexy as hell too!

Shayna was in a bad situation due to her past which led her to the underground.  In the time she’s saving Finn, she holds a gun to him and we can tell she’s putting on a brave face, but she ends up making matters worse. All hell breaks loose and they have to get away from the underground fight and Finn's Boss's enemy, Zander. 

The writing of the story is good, but the plot just left me wishing for more. I liked the characters, the action and sex scenes. Overall, the story was written well and was a quick read.

Pretty things aren't meant to be broken. 

But I broke her, and now we both have to pay the price.

I'm her nightmare. 

I'm her savior. 

And now that I have her signature on an ironclad contract, I own her body and soul. 

She doesn't remember me. 

She will. 

It's inevitable. 

Because as much as I know I need to stay away, for fear of unlocking the memories I helped her father bury--I can't. 

She was the apple in the Garden, dangled in front of me, her core so tempting and sweet. A voice whispered. Just. One. Bite. 

I bit. 

I tasted. 

I fell. 

Welcome to the world of the Russian mafia, where death, is your only future.

Mob Bosses, Murder, a Mentalist Doctor and the daughter of one of said Mob Bosses?? Sign me up!!

This was a good Romantic Thriller. Odd, I know when you think of a thriller, you don't necessarily think of romance, but Rachel Van Dyken pulled it off. 

The good ol' doctor, Nikolai, has too many secrets to keep and at first I was confused of who's side he was playing for. In the midst of learning about the sexy doctor, there is a serial killer on the loose and the killer is attacking prostitutes. You're not too sure if Nikolai is involved, but you get a sneaky suspicion he is. 

Maya is in awe of Nikolai. She studies his work and begs him for an interview for her thesis. What she doesn't realize, at first, is there is a deal between her father, The Russian Mob Boss, and Nikolai in the form of....Nikolai now owns you. Say what?? Exactly what I thought. Oh, but the plot thickens. 

In the midst of the serial killer, Nikolai owning Maya, and the questions of her father's involvement, Maya's memories and nightmares are coming back. She feels safe with Nikolai, but she isn't sure why. 

I don't want to give away too much, but the plot twists had me thrown for a loop and the edge of your seat action kept me sucked in. The sex was pretty hot too!! I mean how could it not be, sexy, ripped doctor and beautiful Mafia princess...Fireworks!!!
