Thoughts
When Charlotte's brother borrowed money from a Russian mafia boss and left her with a debt, she had no choice but to give in herself in return. She was only supposed to be his for a month but when their relationship promised a possibility of forever, where would this end?
I've never read Measha's books before, this is a first. The way she portrayed Charlotte to be a victim of circumstances added onto my empathy towards her. Charlotte is an independent woman but because of her brother's irresponsibility she had no other way but to repay back the debt with herself. The connection and chemistry between Charlotte and Nikolai did seem too insta-love/lust but over time with the plot it did portray itself to be built up a little. Their difference in their social backgrounds were clearly seen in the way they communicated but I liked that Charlotte never stopped challenging Nikolai.
I gave this book 2 ⭐ because although the mafia aspect in this book was a little different and new to me, it didn't interest me as much. There also wasn't much explained about Charlotte's brother which felt like a hole in the plotline since the entire book happened due to her brother loaning from Nikolai. It was also a little draggy in the beginning so it didn't have me as hooked onto the story as I expected it to be.
