Cognac Vixen by Nicole Fox
5.0
MMC/FMC- Ivan and Cora
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- Mafia Romance
Sub Genre- Bratva
Heat level % some kink involved
Series? Y. Second book in a duet. NOT A STANDALONE.
Safety:
-Cheating/Sharing? N
-OM/OW Drama? Y
-Virgin/Celibacy? N
-Cliffhanger? N
HEA/HFN? Y
Triggers- Language In Two Languages, Graphic Violence, Explicit Erotic Content, Kidnapping.
Tropes- He Ain’t Heavy- He’s My Bratva, Wicked Stepfather, Exes From Hell, Forced Engagement, Dysfunctional Families FTW, Mine, Someday I’ll Find You, #1 With A Bullet.
What I liked- as always with a Nicole Fox book, this was well written. The chemistry between the two main characters is strong and their love is fierce. The Hero is certainly willing to burn down the world if he doesn’t get the heroine back. And some of the erotic scenes were very hot (like that time in the car….). The characters were all interesting, whether they were primary, secondary, or tertiary.
What I didn’t- the Bratva is almost incidental in this book. I’d have liked to see more of the soldiers have the Hero’s back. And the erotic scenes with the toy didn’t sizzle; the toy didn’t add anything to the scenes and made it feel like the author was trying too hard.
Verdict- Recommended. All of Nicole Fox’s work is worth the read, and she does Bratva books better than almost anybody.
