About this deal

The heroine: Sasha (a.k.a. Aleksander) - she is from a wealthy Russian family, most of whom were murdered in a massacre. Her uncle tells her that the only way to protect herself and the rest of her family that somehow survived was to join the Russian Army. She is undercover as a man named Aleksander, her hair has been chopped off, she wears bindings around her breasts and is doing her best to not be a weakling, though she is thinner and smaller than all the other brutes in her unit. Kirill. This man won my heart. He’s protective, understanding, and calculating. He knows what’s he’s doing 🤷🏻‍♀️. The fact that he still wants Sasha around after all her shenanigans (and almost getting them killed) is admirable. We can’t hate a hero who isn’t wishy washy, and Kirill’s NOT when it comes to Sasha. No other woman for this hero… just the way I like ‘em 😉. Plus. He endured a shit load of horrible injustices growing up with that man as his father 😑😑😞😞😞. Extra points from me I close my eyes, waiting for him to punch me for the insolence. I wait and wait. And wait... But the impact doesn't come.

I must admit the writing style here is better when compared to most of RK books, and I love that for us. ✨ As I sprint the length of the vast garden, my breath catches at the sight of the gigantic trees surrounding the property and the calming white that extends as far as the eye can see. So many great scenes with the mafia crew. Scenes from other books include Rai still pregnant with Nico and Anastasia is already married to Knox. I love Adrian and Kirill’s growing closeness and advice to Kirill. Kirill’s annoyance with Rai is hilarious. Thank god she has Kyle 😍 the 🔥 talk. I was actually worried we wouldn’t see any. I mean, I was looking at the % and wondering if RK was going to make an appearance at some point, and boy, did she ever😉. Kirill came out swinging with the 🔥 talk 👀. Rina Kent is physically mentally spiritually unable to write a serious book, she tries, it just never happens.I just love clowning myself and following in the footsteps of my fav man Sisyphus —repeating the same meaningless task , in my case — trying to find common sense in the contemporary romance genre only to come up empty. 😍 A fan of Greek mythology and absurdism inside me is too strong of a bad influence. Pls don't tell me she's supposed to find and exert revenge on her family's murderers with her feeble deductive skills. She barely manages to survive in the Russian army, which is not even her proper achievement. If it weren't for Kirill's soft-heartedness that takes pity on this poor, begging female creature at his feet... (or rather his subconsciousness, responsible for calculating how her female anatomy could be of use to him in the future.. my wild guess) we'd be reading about our girl in some criminal chronicles... 😏 Woman power at work, bitch. 👄 Moreover, I think it's sort of bold and badass of RK to write about Russian characters in a positive light, considering the current geopolitical circumstances. It's cool to see that not everyone chooses a safer option of villainizing the whole nation in a public space. Who'd have thought RK's thinking is so progressive. As I've said Kirill was meant to be a hardass, emotionless soldier/mafia/dictator....I hate how Sasha got special treatment from him. She got on his special ops team, promising to be better, then signed her life away to him,

Why? Well, I should mention Kirill believes she has a lover she is hiding from him, someone she loves and misses since he overheard her on the phone, and she shot the phone to protect the number. Who was she talking to? Her little cousin but she never tells him, so he thinks for months that she is really just using him for sex and wants her lover instead and that is where she is going during her 3 days. the slow 🔥burn. Look. Im not always in the mood for slow burns because they’re not always done right. In fact, I prefer them to be medium burn, with the occasional fast burns, so that I don’t experience b9ng anxiety. But here, it made sense and it worked! Oh LAWD. Captain Kirill correctly guessing Sasha’s not a man and having lingering looks/touches had me burning up. Say whatever you want, but having the physical part of the relationship gradually become more *ahem* physical was 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨. I’m not gonna tell you how many times I reread the sauna scene🥵💦… or the office scene 👀… or the bathroom scene 🔥… (might as well bring in the limo scene too 😉) because I’m a lady after all 💁🏻‍♀️. Just know that these scenes will live rent free in my head… for a looong time

Customer reviews

Maksim and Sasha have a really good friendship. (Take that Aiden-Cole!) Kirill is so jealous of Maksim 😂. I loved the friendships Sasha made with a few of Kirill's close guards. They accept her as is and never think low of her. (They all believe she is a man) Honestly their sexual tension was everything and I loved how there was no mention of any other woman during the entire book, he is utterly obsessed and madly desperate for Sasha and any alone time together. They keep their sexual relationship going for MONTHS but we also find out he wants to put a wall between them. He never spends the night in bed with her or opens up to her....it's hopefully going to change in the upcoming books. Her only resource for survival was to join the Russian military, disguise her true identity due to a masacre which took out her family, and hope to god she doesn’t get caught. Because to be caught could get her thrown out and potentially getting her killed in the process. One scene definitely had my heart rate spiking not so far into the book where it all could’ve unraveled. Her reflections on her past and the best moments of her life weren't all thrown aside in this book. She wasn't a grief-filled statue. It was heartbreaking when she recalled the best moments of her life, playing, dressing up, and laughing carelessly.

Okay so Imma say something positive now because I need to explain the 3 stars. Was this book a bunch of cliche clumped together? Yea, but it was entertaining. And Kirill was cute sometimes. how JP Kirill gets. He almost blows a gasket when he finds out Sasha is hanging out with the men when she doesn’t need to. I luuurved it 😈. It led to the amazing sauna scene that I mentioned above Not everyone has perfect families. normalise having shitty attitudes towards shitty parents and not feeling obligated to them simply for existing.I mean... that's kinda cute and wholesome of him to protect his own bodyguard so I gotta stop bitching. I love that type of protective shit. But, boys and girls, hear me out. He should be protecting her from a real danger, not from her rotten brain ok 🥺 I honestly can’t wait to see if Rina writes about the supporting cast and I hope to hear more of Maskim and Yuri and their adventures in Russia. Sasha, this cutie 😭 Sasha, disguised as a boy named Aleksander, is in the military to get closer to higher-ups and gather information about her family's massacre, to seek revenge on those responsible. Her sole purpose is revenge! I personally loved her character, and while she had some characteristics similar to Rina's fmcs, she was unique. She had a great childhood with her best brothers and cousins... until they were all killed when she was 16. I admired how she aimed to become stronger every day, pursuing her goals regardless of others' opinions! 💗 I didn't mention the side characters since they didn't make much of an impact on me, but they weren't boring, that's for sure. Girl🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he kidnapped his mother and sent a pic of it to his brother. Him calling you out is what got you? LMAOOOOO
