A Kiss Of Venom by Beena Khan

5.0

This is my favourite mafia book to date! It was long and full of detail and internal dialog but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I was counting down the hours until I could read this again.

Ghislaine is awoken from a coma by a man with piercing dark eyes and a sinister smile. Unable to recall her accident or even her child, Ghislaine has gotten a second chance at life. Without her late husband by her side she finds herself becoming meek and timid from all the stares and whispers amoung the FBI.

Alexander is a wild and dangerous man who is mesmerized by Ghislaine after their first kiss that mysteriously woke her. Alexander finds himself falling for Ghislaine after attempting to save her from a horrible fate.

I thoroughly enjoyed how Alexander immediately looked after Ghislaine when she needed help. He was always there for her and he fought for her. Even though Alexander is a ruthless Pakhan who rules the Bravta, he had a soft spot for the sinister side of Ghislaine that he brought out. Alexander was definitely the strong silent type who was used to getting everything he wants and Ghislaine challenged him every step of the way. Two very different sides of a coin Ghislaine and Alexander have to work through lies and deceit to make any kind of relationship work.
