[close] Group Mod, Nya, is currently reading this book.
Neurodivergent MMC-Russian-Moscow-Bratva, arranged marriage... Our MMC is neurodivergent.. I can honestly say that I've never read a MMC or H, portrayed in this way.. Under this type of umbrella or spectrum.. It's very interesting.. I hope this book doesn't turn out to be a dud..

Okay.. How do I say this???

I loved the concept of this story but not really the execution of it. It had promise. But I thought with the way things began here, that the story would be much darker. More intense and more frightening with the stakes involved here.

The first 10 chapters were great.. Then somewhere between there and the end, this story lost its way.. The only thing that stayed on point was the smexy times between Semyon and Anya.. And there are aplenty.. But the plot? Fell way flat an Okay.. How do I say this???

The things that got this a 3 star rating were Semyon- I love his character study. I've never read a MMC written like him before.. He is neuro-divergent. It was very interesting to see someone like him, try to process emotions of himself and those around him.. It also made it very interesting to see how his differences with the way he processed info around him, how this was also a big boon for him, with the line of work he's in and the way of life that he leads. Dude is lethal.. And you just don't want to mess with him.. less you want your jiggly bits twisted in a slinky.. Semyon is intense, but he couldn't carry this story all by himself..

I love Anya's baby brother Stefan too.. He was such a sweetie pie!

Anya is sweet, but forgettable. She and Semyon did have great emotional and physical chemistry though..

Clearly yes, you can read this book out of sequence and not be lost. Just as the synopsis says. But I wouldn't call this a standalone read by any means, either. Which the synopsis says this book is. That's misleading.. There are too many connecting plots from previous stories I guess or characters, that hold merit here. You will get the sense that you're missing something, but not to the point where you feel lost with this story.

I for one will not continue on with this series however, cause I'm just not a fan of this author's writing prose. Ms. Henry is very good at packaging something as dark, intense, and sinister.. Only for you to realize while you're in it, that this is nothing more than just smoke. That the big bad was nothing more than a cute little rabbit in wolf's clothing..

If you like your dark stories just barely gray, then you may like this book.

Would I recommend?= (O.o)
