★★★★★Synopsis
The first time I met Yulian Dimitriev, it was hate at first sight. He’s brash, chaotic, and a violence-junkie.In short, everything I disregard.As heirs to two notorious mafia organizations, we were shoved together in an unorthodox setting. The more I learn about Yulian, the deeper my loathing seeps. Until I truly see the person within, and something forbidden sparks between us. But our coexistence is cut short when tragedy strikes.Yulian and I go back to our respective, parallel worlds that shouldn’t cross. But they do.And once again, I’m dragged into the orbit of a man I shouldn’t want. Two men can’t be together in our world. But Yulian blurs every limit I thought existed until everything is in jeopardy. Our hearts included.
The protagonists
VAUGHN MOROZOV
THE CONTROLLED HEIR
Cold, precise, built to be the perfect heir. His whole life was a mask and duty... until Yulian made it his mission to dismantle it piece by piece.
YULIAN DIMITRIEV
CHAOS IN HUMAN FORM
Impulsive, intense, incapable of holding back. Once someone matters to him, no force on earth can stop him. His obsession isn't a threat — it's love without apology.
My review
Rina Kent knows exactly what to do with an obsessive character: give him total conviction, without apology. Yulian doesn't chase Vaughn because he can't control himself, he chases him because he decided that man belongs to him, and that clarity is devastating. The chemistry between them is electric from the first encounter. The ending left my heart full. I couldn't put the book down.
Who is this for?
