Publisher's Summary

From the moment Lev Leokov spots the young woman hiding behind her hair in the middle of the gentleman's club, he can't take his eyes off of her. For the very first time in his life, he is affected. Having been told his entire life that he can't process or understand emotion, he considers it a big deal. 

When Mina Harris gets caught red-handed with a wallet that isn't hers, she falls apart. She's tired, lonely, and hasn't eaten in days. 

Lev offers her an ultimatum...a nice warm bed, a hot meal, and a job, or the cops. 

Mina takes her chances with Lev.

A FEEL-GOOD, UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL 5 ⭐️ LOVE STORY

Outstanding storytelling by Bella Aurora.. a uniquely different, weighty and compelling dual POV plot that was both well-paced and well-described. And the wonderful tugs and tension between the intriguing loveable (and not so loveable) cast of characters were all skilfully brought to life by the very talented Jennifer Blom and Edward Thomas.

Mina’s been hiding herself and struggling on the streets for seven years, she is now starving and has finally hit rock bottom so, out of options and in utter desperation (.. or perhaps led by Fate), she finds herself in a busy Gentleman‘s Club where she steals a very tempting wallet. But it wasn’t just anybody’s wallet and her desperate move was witnessed by Lev.. the wallet owner’s brother, The brothers own the Club and their sister plays a big part two.. they’re family men but they’re dangerous men if you cross them - with roots linking back to the Russian Mafia. And this first move into their world will challenge Mina.. will strengthen and save her.. and will give her the family she desperately needs. Lev is also the Club’s Enforcer - he’s socially awkward,, he can’t read people’s feelings, he’s straightforward and he rarely smiles or laughs (he has traits somewhere on the Asperger and Autism scale). But, when he confronts the tiny scrawny thief who’s just stolen his brothers wallet and offers her a lifeline, she will push his emotional boundaries, she will understand him like no one else has ever done and she will awaken something powerful in this quiet alpha’s heart that will make him want to fight to keep her. Lev is such a loveable emotionally challenged hero.. his unwavering loyalty and love for his two-year-old daughter (and for Mina) was beautiful to witness. His emotional challenges and breakthroughs were a joy to see.. his backstory was heartbreaking.. he’s got a heart of gold and he becomes Mina’s rock. Mina has a wonderful understanding of Lev’s odd ways and, as the storyline slowly unfolds, she becomes such a loyal loving link between the three siblings. She’s a powerful supportive influence during their many pitfalls and she becomes the rock Lev clings to. Many highs and lows in a feels-challenged relationship.. sizzles and steam and beautiful swoon-worthy sentiments that enrich the storyline. There’s drama and daggers with other dubious cast members which brought tension, twists and thrills and revealed much. Well-balanced sex and swoons, fireworks and feels.. and feels.. and feels which makes this book very addictive. WORTH A CREDIT? Oh boy yes, a story that instantly draws you into their world where there was a good progression and pace and character growth to the wonderful love story. Lev and Mina’s relationship was strong and they worked together to sort drama out when it touched them. It has a sweet happy ending and is a heartwarming and crucial start to a new series.. and now I could listen to it all over again (sigh). :)

Worth credit...

great

I was worried I would get bored because its a longer book. But this was really good, totally worth the credit.

Amazing book

From start to finish I was hooked. The story was great and the characters had lots of depth. The narration did the book justice. Worth the credit! Im looking forward to the next book.

I. LOVED. LEV!!

The hero was complex in such an awesome way, I wish there was another book for him! It's one of the most well-written books where the hero is brilliant, yet has a mental impairment (e.g. possibly Non-Verbal Learning Disorder since he has issues with being socially aware and reading social cues). It was so well done and without any stigma at all. The hero has a large, though fairly dysfunctional, funny-as-all-hell protective family and they are close and full of love for one another.

The heroine is well written as well. She has her own issues, but she quickly becomes part of the family and it all feels so natural. She never quite picks up on the fact that her dude has a mental illness and she just rolls with it until she learns the hero's cues and triggers, which is FABULOUS.

Add in the various antagonists, and you've got a winner!

Enjoyable book

I enjoyed listening to this and I’ll get more from this author, especially the remaining books in this series as I’d love to find out what happens with other characters in the book.
