I’m a good girl.
I live by a code
that can’t be bent or broken. It is my duty to my family to stay innocent and
pure. To marry an Italian man. The stars are already aligned.
But Nikolai Kozlov
re-writes my destiny with five simple words.
You belong to me
now.
He's Russian mafiya.
A thief. A skilled liar with no moral boundaries. He is everything I have
been taught to hate. A man who stands for nothing. A man who takes what he
wants without a second thought.
And what he wanted
was me.
He thinks he
controls my fate, but what he doesn’t know is, sometimes it’s the good girls
you have to watch out for.
I’m a dangerous man.
I live by a code.
The Vory code. It is my duty to my family to protect the brotherhood. To
destroy anyone who threatens what we stand for, including her.
She’s a dancer. A
beautiful little doll. My prisoner, and my new favorite puppet. This mafia
princess thinks she has me under her spell, but in the end, she is simply
collateral.
It’s a shame to
destroy precious things.
But this is what bad
men do.
Excerpt
The first thing I always notice about a person is their
posture. I was raised to believe that good posture conveys good manners, as
well as respect for those around you. Nikolai carries his posture like a casual
‘f#ck you’ to everyone around him. There is no decorum in his leather jacket,
jeans, or his haphazardly laced motorcycle boots. Everything he wears is black,
but the small glimpse of skin beneath is a riot of colors. Tattoos cover every
inch of his exposed skin, including his throat.
I’m not sure which is more offensive- the ink or the faux
hawk atop his head. This is not the way you attend a ballet, nor is he the type
of man I expect my father to keep company with.
“Tanaka.” He reaches for my hand and kisses it in a way that
few men would ever dare to do in my father’s presence. “You dance beautifully.”
The words are unmistakably accented. Russian. And I’m
struggling to maintain my composure while making sense of this situation. My
father has always been protective of me. His own men know better than to speak
to me or look at me, but for this stranger, somehow, it’s okay.
My manners, at least, are still intact, so I reply as I should. “You’ve seen me
dance?”
Nikolai flashes a boyish smile in contrast to the deepness
of his blue-green eyes. “I like to invest my time in the arts.”

The finale of the Boston Underworld Series, a series that A. Zavarelli nailed! This is the story of Nikolai and Tanaka, the Russian Mafia man and the Ballerina.
Once the Ballerina is in his possession, the tables turn.
While Nikolai a Russian, it’s in the Vory beliefs he must marry a Russian. But this Italian Mafia princess is making Nikolai question his beliefs.
There are reasons behind Nikolai obtaining Tanaka and building a relationship with her is not in the books. This is not a typical romance story.
As the story unfolds and we find out who is behind the ballerina’s fall, we see that those who supposedly love us the most, are the ones creating the most damage. The ones who make mothers disappear from their young children are the ones who we’ve trusted our entire life.
Full of twists and turns, this story was a good ending to a great series!

A beautiful Ballerina, dancing like she had wings, stretching, flying , landing, like she breathes. Dancing is not just her art, it's her life, her escape, her motive to keep living
I felt instant connection to the Mafia Princess - Tanaka Valentini, daughter of Manuel Valentini.
then a monster walks into her life and she falls!! Broken body, mutilated heart and shattered soul.
Her Fall From Grace forever captured and her light dimming till if just is a dying ember.
I can feel the same dread, same dangerous aura in this book like I felt in earlier Boston Underworld series. This is genre and trope ash is really master of. She creates Nikolai, a Vor Soldier. Ruthless, heartless and merciless
As men go, Nikolai falls in the top percent of his red-blooded class. From his Herculean build to his wild hair and sharp cheekbones, he is a deity among the male species. A mortal casted in the image of a Greek god. And that would make me his concubine.
He's also a THIEF. Stealing precious objects and now he has stolen Tanaka and made her his pet.
I loved the story , it's my fave trope and the intricacies of Bratva, combined with interconnections with Italian Mafia made it very dark, very dreadful. There's a lot of sinister deals, vengeance, mayhem, gory torture atypical of such dark underworld. The end scene was so casually written , gave me shudders !!!
There's also Love, lust, pain, angst and heartbreak . Perfect combination that kept me occupied throughout. Lots of sizzling action, Nike is a Red Blooded Alpha male and he uses his pet however he
Pleases and whenever he wants.
Towards the end is a bombshell !!! I had forgotten all about it actually.
Taut, tense and tensile, story is hard and elastic both, twisting and turning till our mouth falls open.
I have to mention one line that impacted me real hard and truly captures the plight of Tanaka.
With the tug of his puppet strings, the master fractures the good girl inside of me. All that’s left in the wake of his devastation is a broken doll who wrings out every ounce of pleasure from his mouth before she deflates. I’m bankrupt. ....I'm BANKRUPT <--- .="" a="" ashleigh="" at="" destitution.="" has="" her="" i="" it.="" it="" left.="" loved="" nothing="" or="" point="" she="" shed="" shows="" span="" tear="" thank="" this="" truly="" two="" you="">
