Secrets

A Russkaya Mafiya Novel, Book 1

By: Sapphire Knight

Narrated by: Melanie Hastings, Aaron Shedlock

Running scared, I’m forced to start completely over. I escape to Tennessee where no one knows who I am. I try to blend in and decide that a huge university will be the easiest way.

Tainted, scared, and alone, will he find me? Will he hurt me again?

I have a secret, you see. I need a savior - someone who can help me be free.

I never expected to meet Tate Masterson.

Strong, sexy, and stubborn; with his alluring hazel eyes, tattoos, and Russian accent.

I never had a chance; he took one look at me and decided I was his.

Tate has a secret too; the Russkaya Mafiya is in his blood.

His secret could help save me, but will Tate embrace it or destroy us?

Cheesy and shallow

A lot of the lines were cheesy. Unfortunately this is the 3rd book by this author I have listened to and this seems to be a common occurrence in her books. Also, I am from the south and we don’t do ridiculous nicknames at all like the ones in this book.
Finally, the falling in love was shallow and lacked the feels.

On a positive note: The narration was phenomenal!

Overall I liked most of the story

This is my first story by this author. Over all I liked most of the story. There were moments where it did not make sense. It put the story on pause before I began to continue the story. I was hoping that Aaron was represented more in the story. Tate as a name for a Russian Mafia guy was not a name I would have chosen. I went into the story blind so do not want to give more details here. I am not sure about this one as some elements were not what would happen in a real situation. I understand that an author can create their own situations but wish it was more realistic in some areas. Melanie was a new to me narrator and I liked her voice.

Tate and Emily

This book had a little of everything in it, humor, violence, suspense, secrets, and some super steamy moments between Tate and Emily. Overall it was a great story. Aaron Shedlock and Melanie Hastings were absolutely perfect for this book, I enjoyed listening to them bring this intense story to life.

Secrets

Love it. I swear The more I listen to Sapphire Knight’s audios the more I want. Narrator Melanie Hastings did a great job. And Aaron Sherlock was a nice surprise.

fantastic

this my favorite book by sapphire Knight and I was so excited to listen to it! I would highly recommend everyone listen to it!
