About the Book:
Seduce An Enemy To Control An Empire…
Nadia is a mafia princess, come to Moscow to solve an old mystery from her mother’s journal.
Nikolai is the heir to the rival Markov empire. He’s about to secure his family’s fortunes once and for all. There’s just one thing standing in his way...
He needs a wife. And not just any wife — he needs Nadia Lebedev. Their families have been enemies for generations. The bloodshed and betrayal goes back two hundred years.
Nikolai must end the feud by taking possession of Nadia. He will tame her. Own her. And make her his forever…
“Crimson” is a blazing hot Dark Mafia Romance, full mystery and intrigue. It’s Book 4 in the “Colors of Crime” series. It’s a stand-alone novel, complete with HEA and no cliffhangers.
Contains explicit scenes, including spanking.
My Review:
Crimson moves further away from the themes in books one and two and becomes fully engulfed in the Russian mafia. There will be spoilers from Violet, book 3 in the Colors of Crime series.
Nadia Lebedev lost her mother Samara in Violet, the previous book in the series. Crimson begins at Samara’s funeral. Not really having a relationship with her mother, Nadia is sad for the what-could-have’s that she’ll be missing out on. In an effort to try and connect with her mother, Nadia leaves Paris and ventures to Moscow to her grandfather’s estate, bringing along her boyfriend, Maxim. There, Nadia attempts to translate a journal given to her before leaving Paris, one that paints a picture starkly different than the woman Nadia grew to know. Nadia also attempts to get closer to her mother by staying in her old room and travelling to all her mother’s former haunts.
After ditching Maxim, the dude was monster anyway, she finds herself gravitating toward Nikolai Markov. The two families have an ongoing feud that has lasted many, many years. The two families reuniting now is suspicious, but Nadia knows her feelings for Nikolai are real and growing stronger every day. When the truth is revealed, Nadia and Nikolai may very well end up like their parents. My only complaint is the ending. I would have loved another chapter to see how Nikolai’s father would have reacted to Nadia’s revelation.
I love the characters in the Colors of Crime series. They are written well and are realistic. The suspense and twists in the story keep me on the edge of my seat. The mystery unfolding in Nadia’s mother’s journal is engaging and kept me reading, wanting to know more. Lyrically, the author is a star. Her use of descriptive language, metaphors, and vivid imagery take this book to the next level. Crimson hits all of positives for story, character development, world building, passion, and suspense. I look forward to getting my hands on the next book.
Please note this book does contain light BDSM and sex.
