Mine

MINE is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult TIES THAT BIND dark, Russian mafia romance series co authored by Natasha Knight and A. Zavarelli. MINE follows the acrimonious relationship between mobster Levka ‘Lev’ Antonov, and teacher’s aid Katerina ‘Kat’ Blake. WARNING: Due to the graphic violence and nature of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers. Told from dual first person perspectives (Kat and Lev) using two different time lines MINE follows Katerina Blake on her nineteenth birthday where she will meet Lev Antonov, a man who is about to destroy her world. On the run, following the murder of her friend, Katerina will leave everything behind when her world collides with the Russian mob. Four years will pass before Kat must face the past, a past that will quickly divide into two intersecting paths. Trying to protect the son he never knew, Lev Antonov forces Kat back into his life, only to discover that he has brought the mob back to Kat’s front door. What ensues is the rebuilding but contemptuous relationship between Kat and Lev, and the ongoing fall-out as Lev’s lifestyle threatens to destroy them all. The relationship between Lev and Kat begins as a one night stand following a night of drinking and drugs that leave Kat questioning her choices in life. Lev is determined to protect Kat from the life he has always lived, a life that is about to force Kat on the run. The $ex scenes are aggressive, intense, and not without some questionable consent. We are introduced to Lev’s psychotic cousin Andrei, and his uncle Vasily; and Kat’s best friend Nina. MINE is a story of power and control; of murder, bloodshed, assault and abuse. No one is safe when they do business with the Russian mob, and our heroine has quite literally stumbled into a world she knows nothing about. The premise is dark and gritty; the characters are broken, dangerous, struggling and lost; the romance is fraught with issues of trust, anger, secrets and lies. MINE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

No. Just No. I love a good powerplay between lovers but this was abuse. Kat had real trauma at a young age and the "reunion" between her and Lev was violent. "Lev" is not sexy when he is holding Kat down and whipping her with his belt. She was terrified. She also suffered from the psychological trauma from feeling conflicted again while remembering being forced to come for a foster parent at age 15. Lev literally stalked her, came on her bed while she wasn't home and put a scarf with her murdered best friends blood on it in his drawer at work. He is controlling and abusive. Not ok. I mean no offense to the writer but we have got to stop buying into the lie that these things are acceptable. Real women experience these things and they are harmful.

My most favorite books ever . Mine and His …. A MUST BUY and READ . You will not regret it at all .
