A review by ashjuillet
Cognac Vixen by Nicole Fox

4.0

This was wonderful! I loved the angst, the drama, the excitement of it all. And with every Nicole Fox book, I fall in love with the best friend/sidekick all over again. Yasha was hilarious; I laughed almost every time he opened his mouth. I love how close they all were even in the epilogue. And the scenes with the saddles were absolutely mind-blowing. Wonderful work!

I can't give this book five stars because although I loved Ivan, this book didn't have enough emotions from Ivan's POV. They were subtler this time rather than in your face, which I had been hoping for. Most mafia/Bratva men Nicole Fox writes about refuse to accept their feelings for the women and end up falling really hard, which is evident in their thoughts and actions. Ivan's feelings were much more subtler. We don't get to see him come to the conclusion that he's in love (or at least I don't remember reading that?) but he does accept his feelings.

Thanks to Booksprout for a copy of this book.
