Young and naïve Sacha Urusski is destroyed by the one man
she
loves and everyone else fears. Having been raised to
respect the Bratva, Sacha also never planned to be a part of
someone's ULTIMATE VENGEANCE.
Shortly after Alekzander Tarasov sent Sacha packing, he
realized his mistake. He has been searching for her and will
do whatever he must to win her back. Even grovel if need be,
which will be hard for any member of a Russian mafia. But
once Sacha's secret comes out will she suddenly become the
villain
in this game of hearts? Can they both forgive and forget the
past or will all the secrets and lies destroy them once
again?
ULTIMATE VENGEANCE will run you through a gambit of
emotions then wring you out some more before you
get to the end of this emotional storyline. I felt sorry
for Sacha, angry with Alek, confused as to why his friend
had to spill the secret when he did (especially when Sacha
was about to tell it) and in awe of the sheer depth of
feelings that were shared by this "family." The romance was
very steamy but again the feelings zooming around in this
book could be sweet, hot, touching or amazingly deep.
I have not read any of the other Wanted Men
series by
author Nancy Haviland, but I will be looking
for the others now. There are a lot of twists to
this book as vengeance is the key to one person's actions.
But who is behind the troubles? Also, Ms. Haviland's
somewhat colorful turn of
everyday phrases: "his expression was blacker than a pit
in hell" and "the thin skin below one of those windows to
the soul" tickled me. I admit the
second phrase took me a couple of minutes to figure out she
was talking about the guy's eyes. These different
phrases made the reading more interesting. I am always a
sucker for "family" camaraderie and this book is chock full
of guys having each other's backs. Then of course what is
not to love about big, tough men going goofy over a baby? If
you want an emotional, well -written, sweet and steamy ride
then ULTIMATE VENGEANCE
needs to be in your hands.
To a young Russian girl raised to respect and fear the
Bratva, gaining the attention of the impressive Sovietnik
from a ruling organization was a terrifying thing.
Alekzander was a dangerous temptation Sacha Urusski had no
hope of resisting. Predictably, her heart was decimated and
she was left bleeding…with a precious reason to go on. But
when Alekzander bullies his way back into her quiet life and
offers a confession that absolves him of his sins, rather
than celebrate, Sacha is forced to acknowledge an alarming
truth; she has now become the villain in their story. Or so
she thinks. When the most damaging secret of all is
revealed, her final hope dies and she’s left with no other
recourse. She must run.
Sixteen months ago, Alekzander Tarasov made the mistake of
his life when he annihilated his relationship with his
soulmate. At the time, protecting her was his only thought.
Now, after attempting to live without her, his focus has
changed. He wants her back where she belongs. And he’ll stop
at nothing to drag his curvy angel away from her new life
and so deep into his world of violence and uncertainty
she’ll never find her way out again.
Through a deluge of secrets and lies, disillusionment and
broken faith enters a world where loyalty and trust reign.
Will Alek and Sacha’s battered love be strong enough to
survive? Or will it be a sense of duty that inexorably binds
them together in the end?
