Book Review: Jewel of the Assassin

 

If you love something, you don’t let anyone else claim it. You take it. You keep it. You kill for it.

THE JEWEL
I was raised to be a pawn. A Volkov princess bartered to the highest bidder. My father gave me to Anton Makarova, a man I never wanted. My only solace was the shadow that stalked me—the ghost who watched but never touched.

Until the crash.

I woke on a secluded island estate with no memory. A wedding ring on my finger. A husband who swears I’m his. He calls me his wife. His queen. His everything.

And though I don’t remember my past, I know this Roman Makarova terrifies me. Consumes me. And I’ve never wanted anything more.

THE ASSASSIN
Six years, I built this empire for her. Six years of blood, steel, and sacrifice to claim what was always mine. Valentina Volkov. My jewel.

My father tried to give her to my brother. I staged a car crash instead. Now she’s in my world, in my bed, in my control. She doesn’t remember the life she left behind—and I’ll never let her go back.

She is my obsession. My queen. My soul. Together, we’ll burn the world and bury our enemies in their own graves. And when the night ends, only one truth will

She was never theirs.
She was always mine.
The jewel of my crown.

A dark, dual-POV mafia romance with obsession, betrayal, pitch-black trauma, and a rising comeback of blood-soaked desecration of a church. Perfect for fans of Haunting Adeline, King of Wrath, and the Ruthless Obsession Series.
HEA guaranteed. But the deepest darkness before the dawn...


My Review
If you love your men dark and who are a DOM, then, you will LOVE Roman. This is an "instant lust." Roman did not want long before claiming Valentina as his. If you read The Art of Obsession, book one in this series, then, you will not be surprised by all of the spice. 

"I'm not a man of routine. I'm an experimentalist by nature. A scientist of sensation."

Emily/Roman gave me so much spicy goodness that my mouth was scorching hot! Yet, this book is not just all about the spice. It has a really good storyline that I got lost in (in a great way). I found myself just reading and reading. Grab your copy of this book now!

"The queen of his empire.
The soul to his head.
The jewel of the assassin."
