About the Book:
He Knows Her Secret…
Violet Black is a talented singer and songwriter, but she’s barely scratching a living in London, working at a seedy club run by the Russian mafia.
Standing onstage, Violet locks eyes with a massive, brutal-looking Bratva. Anton Vasilev is second-in-command to the biggest boss in Paris. He’s intelligent, ruthless, and completely fixated on Violet.
He wants something from her, but Violet doesn’t know what. Until he abducts her from her bed in the middle of the night.
The Bratva have a plan for Violet. They know a secret about her… Something she doesn’t even know herself...
“Violet” is a dark mafia romance, full of danger, forbidden love, and bloody retribution. It’s Book 3 of the Colors of Crime series — a standalone novel, complete with HEA and no cliff hangers. Intended for mature readers who love steamy sex scenes, and men who will do anything to protect their women.
My Review:
Violet Black is a poor but aspiring singer, songwriter, and performer in some of the seedier locations in London. One evening during a gathering of the Russian mafia heads at the club she works for, Violet finds herself in the crosshairs of an older gentleman and his second-in-command. Violet is enthralled by the second-in-command who is introduced as Anton. As quickly as their connection sparks to life, the group is gone from the club. Anton doesn't leave Violet's mind, however.
When Violet goes to sleep one evening in her apartment but awakens on a boat with Anton in the middle of a channel, she knows the feelings she had about Anton are true. He want something from her or knows something about her. An effort to escape Anton fails and Violet finds herself standing face-to-face with one of the Bratva's powerful leaders.
Violet is a darker installment of the Colors of Crime series by Sophie Lark. The introduction to the Russian mafia was a nice twist for the series. This is definitely as stand-alone story in the series, though we do get a glimpse of Violet's brother and sister. The chemistry between Violet and Anton is off the charts, believable, and evident from the first time they locked eyes. The situation involving the abduction and reasons thereof, as presented in the story, was too easily accepted by Violet, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book.
I love the characters. They are written well and are realistic. The suspense and twists in the story keep me on the edge of my seat. Lyrically, the author is a star. Her use of descriptive language, metaphors, and vivid imagery take this book to the next level. Violet hit all of positives for story, character development, world building, passion, and suspense. I look forward to getting my hands on the next book.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
