Taken by the Hitman: A Russian Mafia Bratva Romantic Suspense

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. Konstantin is ex spetznaz and currently in prison. He has just made a deal with his new employer....the Bratva. Konstantin travels to New York to help with Bratva business. Nicknamed The Bull, Konstantin is a top assassin, a hitman. They are now asking more of him, something he may not want to give, but will accept for the greater good. He finds himself walking a very fine line. Konstantin knows he's being watched so he must comply or face the consequences. He's being promoted and this means more power to accomplish his plans. Rosie has no plans at the moment, but survival would be good. She's being offered as payment in full. Konstantin learns that Rosie now belongs to him. He is told he must break her, and with no other choice, he does as he is told to save them both. He knows he needs to protect her now. The Bratva wants Konstantin to do their bidding, but he has other plans. This is a story with high stakes riding on the outcome. The Bratva has their hands in many illegal businesses that bring in millions of dollars. Can one man change a way of thinking that has been going on for years? Can one man save so many innocent victims? Can one man save the only woman he's ever cared about? Konstantin knows he can't walk away from Rosie. They can't not be together. Konstantin does need an ally though and he finds one in Andrei, a hitman as well. Andrei has cleansed the Bratva of its more seedy businesses in the past, and Konstantin needs his help and his loyalty now. Konstantin is a man who offered his expertise to the Bratva and was rewarded handsomely. He may not share the same views, but at a time in his life, he needed them and they were there. Rosie has no one but her younger siblings. Her father is basically a non existent parent and she has cared for them since their birth. Rosie and Konstantin are two very mismatched people from opposite ends of the world thrown together hoping for a good outcome. Together, they are stronger. Together, they will not go down without a fight. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK ! ACTION PACKED STORYLINE WITH AWESOME CHARACTERS ! ALSO MY FAVORITE HITMAN, ANDREI FROM "SOLD TO THE HITMAN,"MAKES AN APPEARANCE ....LOVE HIM ! Konstantin and Rosie had AMAZING chemistry; she helped him become less abrasive and more human. He helped her take back her life. THE SEX WAS SMOKING HOT AND STEAMY ! ! ! I ADORE ALEXIS' HITMEN ! ! ! YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK ! ! !

I'm reading and my heart is racing, the suspense is so strong that I actually have my hand on my heart. Yet I have to keep reading! Alexis writes a story of love, passion and trust and betrayal that you feel drawn into right along with the characters.

Konstantin has fought and killed and being imprisoned for his country, now he's been sent to America to bring massive changes, but he never envisioned even in his worst nightmares what would happen when he arrived there, now he must try to right the wrongs of all those before him and avenge the woman he just wronged in any way he can. It's Rosie's eighteenth birthday when for the first time in eight years her dad acknowledges her, she wished he'd forget her, leave her to care for her young siblings like she has done for the last eight years, but he has a fate worse than she even dreamed awaiting her. Now not only is she alone, fearing for her sisters, she must guard herself against the man that has situated himself in her life. This was a great story, there were times it jumped forward and I wasn't sure what had happened, but they are incidental in the scheme of things. The story didn't throw away fears, it embraced them and was realistic with the healing process. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
