A Complete Duet - The story of Tatiana Nikolaev!

My husband.
His secrets.
Our tragedy.

I thought I knew him. I didn’t. I thought he was trustworthy. He wasn’t.

But nothing in this world is as it seems.

I caught the attention of the most notorious man in the underworld.

Konstantin wasn’t the type to be ignored. He commanded his criminal empire with an iron fist but he had secrets of his own.

But I was Tatiana Nikolaev. I’d never bend to a man’s will or be used as a pawn. Not again.

The moment I tempted the fates and played with fire, life spiraled out of control.

My only way of survival was to trust again.

But could I?

*This is a complete duet.*

My Review:

Not having read any other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect. Needless to say, Winners did not disappoint at all. As the first book in the Thorns of Omertà Duet Series, Thorns of Lust is a steamy mafia romance filled with secrecy, revenge and twists to keep you reading for more.

At the beginning of the story we get to meet, Tatiana Nikolaev, who is with her husband as they are being chased outside the city by a strange car. In her world, she is aware of the risks that come with being park of a powerful mafia family. But not even her husband could protect her form the shooting chase and witnesses his death in the process. Adrian was her everything, having grown up together, it’s clear how they were meant to be together. Tatiana vows to find out who killed her husband, but the sooner she starts to look into their past, the sooner she realizes that she was deceived. Meanwhile, there is another man who is very much interesting in what Adrian was up to before his death and won’t stop at nothing until he makes Tatiana his.

Winners delivers a great start to the duet, from the well-written story to the duel POV, Thorns of Lust had me hooked from beginning to end. We have two characters who have been through so much growing up, they are aware of the consequences that come with growing up in the mafia world. No one is truly protected and that is exactly what causes chaos among different mafia families. Tatiana is thrust into the mess without having any idea that behind the scenes Illias Konstantin, a leader of a very powerful mafia family would be protecting her at all costs. He’s been captivated by Tatiana for a very long time and now is his chance to make her his before it’s too late. There is so much to the story that I truly enjoyed reading, though the story does end on a cliffhanger, I cannot wait to read what happens next. I would highly recommend checking out the story if you love a good mafia romance! :)
