His to Defend
NOLA Knights #1
by Rhenna Morgan
Book one of NOLA Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spinoff series by Men of Haven author Rhenna Morgan
His world. His rules. Her love.
Though his methods may be rough, when it comes to protecting what’s his, Russian vor Sergei Petrovyh’s heart is always in the right place. That’s never been more true than when the gorgeous Evette Labadie asks him for a job. He knows enough to keep his hands off someone as beloved by the locals as Evie, but there’s something about her that calls to him—no matter how badly he burns to make her his.
Don’t think Evie hasn’t noticed the powerful Russian mafia boss who makes her favorite diner a regular stop. How can she not? He’s as hot as his reputation is dangerous. But everyone in her struggling New Orleans neighborhood knows he’s the man to turn to. And right now she needs money to get her son out of trouble.
Her other needs—needs she knows damn well Sergei can more than satisfy—will have to wait.
Evie soon finds herself playing Cinderella to a man who, despite what people believe, is definitely more prince than villain. She can’t help falling deeper in love with each passing day. But when a turf war between Sergei and a rival brings violence to her doorstep, Evie must come to grips with loving a man who will do anything to defend her…or walk away from her best chance at a happily-ever-after of her very own.
REVIEW
5 out of 5
This was a delightfully steamy and tense mafia romance. One dark mafia boss who follows his own code of honor, one damsel in distress who will do anything for her child, and oh the sparks that fly between them. Sergei might be a bad boy to the world, but I love how Evie brings out his softer side (even though that makes her a target). It’s pretty clear these two should absolutely be together from the start – those sparks are just too hot to be wrong. I appreciated the danger and suspense woven in thanks to Sergei’s life, and I got so wrapped up in the book that it felt strange when I reached the end. I can’t wait to see what the next books in the series have in store!
