Alexandra Volkin was raised to become the wife of a mob boss. She is promised to a Russian boss and though she has never met the man she is thrilled. Alexandra wants to be a powerful wife and MARRIED TO THE RUSSIAN KINGPIN is just the way to become what she grew up to be.

Viktor Sokolov arrives at the wedding to inform the bride and her family that their father is dead. But, he will be taking his place as the groom. He has his reasons. Someone killed his father and he will use his new bride and her family to learn the truth. If he finds her father is involved he will not hesitate to exact his revenge. It is up to Alexandra to prove his innocence.

The first book in Leslie North's Sokolov Brothers series, MARRIED TO THE RUSSIAN KINGPIN is a different mafia themed read. I'm not sure I understand Alexandra's desire to marry any kind of boss but having been raised as she was, makes her strong enough to deal with her new husband. Viktor isn't sure how to take his new wife. He feels an immediate desire for her but there is a coldness inside him that will allow him to kill whoever poisoned his father. Alexandra has her work cut out for her to prove that her father did not do the deed and she uses everything she knows how to use to make him listen to her. Will she be able to save her father, her marriage and the growing feelings for the jerk she married?

If you love mafia themed storylines, sexy, cold, fierce, and sometimes jerk men, a strongly determined woman, doses of mistrust, frustration, anger, tears, steamy moments and a love that does end in a HEA then you have to get your hands on MARRIED TO THE RUSSIAN KINGPIN.
