One Shot (The Anti-Heroes) Kindle Edition
Twelve years in prison evaporated in a second and I finally understood what it meant to want someone. Someone very specific.
I’m not sure how to live in the civilized world anymore, but I’m going to learn. Because now that I’ve found her, I’m never going back.
The only problem is, my rage has its own agenda. It needs to feed, and Maggie wants nothing to do with the monster that lives inside of me.
She’s my one shot at happiness and I’m not letting her go. She’s my first, my last, my forever.
Jacob West has been fighting his entire life. It’s all he knows until he meets Maggie and something inside him cracks open. The tragedies of their pasts are closely mingled but their lives took very different directions. Can these two V-card holders figure out how to overcome their very different worlds and make a brighter future together? Safe, no cheating, a hint of darkness, some over the top hotness and a happily ever after for the win.

About the author

Nikolai Andrew has been writing stories as far back as he can remember. His elementary school teachers used to have him stay after class to try to explain some of his more creative work but with a to-die-for smile and wisdom beyond his years, he always managed to charm his way out of trouble. Not much has changed, except he’s now found an outlet for his stories where he can show off a bit of his darkness, a dash of dominance and a sprig of hopeless romantic topped with a whole helping of hot.
When he’s not writing, he’s playing with his many aquariums, searching for rocks, enjoying cheap vodka and making waitresses blush. He’s got a penchant for vintage Playboy’s and Vargas girls and a weakness for giving out spankings and cookies. Drop him a line anytime. He loves to hear from readers. Especially their own ideas on what he should write next.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2021There may not be anything sweeter than a true love that cradles it’s recipients in redemption. That’s the case for Jacob and Maggie, two people with eerily similar tragic pasts, who find each other and complete each other. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all sweet and sunshiny. Nikolai brings the heat and his signature hint of darkness.. I guarantee you’ll be turned on and rooting for Jacob and Maggie’s HEA at the same time.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022Slight Trigger Warning consensual forced sexual acts. Nothing forced, played out fantasy of the couple.
Loved that for once both parties are in late 20s and both were virgins for different reasons.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2021Good quick read. Very insta love, but I liked that their connection felt real. I also love that this was a double V story. Those are few and far between it seems.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021the story telling was really good id recommend this to a friend it was beautiful and they were really good together
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2021This was an awesome DV; it was dark, hot and absolutely fantastic! I read this book the very first day I got it and I couldn’t put it down. I loved Jacob and Maggie together. I loved the instant connection and the chemistry between these two. Jacob when to jail for standup to people who hurt seemingly weaker people. Maggie is living with her grandmother because both her parents are gone. When Jacob gets out, a friend from the inside said that he as a place to live and a job if he wants it and unknowingly, Jacob meets his obsession there. I loved the first meeting between Maggie and Jacob. I loved both Jacob and Maggie for their strength and their need for each other. There is a bit of drama but it’s nothing that Jacob and Maggie can’t handle. I really, really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to see what Mr. Nikolai has in store for us next! I would highly recommend this book and Mr. Nikolai as a must read author.
I received a free e-book copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jacob and Maggie
Wow! Great read. Jacob just finished a 12-year sentence for murder and arrives and thanks to a cellmate he has a place to stay. The last thing he expects is to fall for Maggie, his cellmate granddaughter and because of her his life would change forever. Fantastic plot, likeable character and red hit romance. Highly recommended

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it won't be my last I'll definitely be checking out Wetwork. As much I enjoyed this book I would have liked a bit of angst I would have loved to read more about the fighting scene it seemed to be swept under the rug after Maggie caught him in the cage. So for me less sex more story.
