Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5/5
Chemistry: 🧪🧪🧪🧪🧪
Plot: 5/5
Series: Pushkin Bratva Duet #2
Place:
Tropes: Dark Romance, Mafia Romance, Romantic Suspense, Fake Marriage, Arranged Marriage, Secret Baby
TW: Kidnapping, Murder, Gun Violence, Domestic Abuse, Gaslighting, Emotional Abuse
Main Characters: Cora & Ivan
Once again these characters were an absolute gem. Their storyline was one of the craziest that I have read in a while. There were so many different twists and turns that were beyond frustrating for me as a reader. Mainly because I was beyond pissed at these characters that aren't mentioned but caused so much havoc and chaos. Needless to say I was mad reading because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen next. I also can't forget about the surprises at the end.
Cora and Ivan were an enigma of a couple. Meant to be from the very beginning. With all of the strife and struggle there was to get to the place they wanted to be it was worth it in the end. I would have liked to see more on Evaline with Cora because I feel like there is so much that wasn't said between them. I think there is so much more to unpack with Evaline and Alexander because something was obviously wrong with both people.
I received a complimentary copy via the author and Booksprout. All opinions are my own, honest and voluntary.
