The Den of Sin : Dark Russian Mafia Halloween Romance (Belles & Mobsters) Kindle Edition

by Eva Winners (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 2,418 ratings

Vasili Nikolaev.

Dangerous. Deadly. And most of all, devastating.

He’s the king of New Orleans.

Ruler of the Russian mafia and my best friend’s oldest, mouthwatering brother.

On Halloween night my last year in college, I gave him everything. My body. My heart. My soul.

He burned it all to the ground with the first ray of dawn.

Lessons learned. I’ve moved on. Now, five years later, I have a career I love, a boyfriend. But Vasili is back in my life again. A temptation I don’t need.

One thing is for certain. Nikolaev always settles the score.

He’ll destroy everything and everyone, including my boyfriend.

The question is… What is Vasili’s end game?

Will he destroy me all over again or will I be the Phoenix rising from the ashes he left behind and take what I've always wanted? Him.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Eva Winners’ Den of Sin is a fast-paced, steamy mafia romance that pulls readers into a dark and seductive world. Vasili, the brooding alpha, and Isabella, the soft-hearted but fierce heroine, sizzle from their first meeting, their chemistry driving the story’s tension. The mafia backdrop and family secrets add layers of intrigue, with twists that keep things spicy.

    While the romance is intense, the plot can feel rushed, and Vasili’s alpha persona verges on formulaic. Isabella’s motivations are hinted at but not fully explored, leaving some gaps in her character. Still, for fans of quick, passionate reads with dark, dangerous heroes, Den of Sin hits the mark.

    Eva Winners is a powerful author and Den of Sin is one of her best pieces of work that I have read; and I think I have read all of them so far. First, this book of full of spicy scenes starting from the prologue to the end. So, be ready-they are amazing. The story itself is very well-developed, full of emotion and full of new characters from different organized crime families, Russian, Italian, and Mexican. The relationships between the characters is complex but worth following the “who’s who” because it adds to the story, and shows the complexity of the authors story telling skills. I have a feeling this is not the end of these characters and they might show up in other books to follow. I don’t want to spoil the story any more because I think you just have to get your copy and read it. This is another great work by Eva Winners and I hope to see many more!

    Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Eva Winners writes some of my favorite mafia-lite stories and Den of Sin did not disappoint! Vasili was the perfect alphahole, bent on revenge when he seduced Isabella. What he didn't count on was the intense attraction that was still there when he bumped into her 5 years later. Isabella is now a surgeon with another boyfriend, a far different person than the young girl he so easily seduced. But Vasili knows he made a mistake all those years ago and doesn't plan on letting her get away again - boyfriend or not! The is a great story that's well written and moves quickly. The chemistry between the two of them is super hot with some great smexy times! Can't wait to read the next book in the series!!

    This was such a good book! It was my first book by Eva Winners, and I will definitely be reading more.

    Isabella and Vasili have a complicated history with a lot to work through to get to their HEA. I really loved that Isabella is a smart and strong heroine. She could hold her own against Vasili which I loved. And Vasili is a prime example of a jealous and over the top hero. He knew he wanted Isabella and nothing was going to stop him.

    I’m excited to keep reading more of Eva’s books and learn more about these other great characters!

    ⭐️: 4/5
    🌶️: 2.5/5

    🌸 age gap (20 years)
    🌸 best friend’s older brother
    🌸 mafia romance
    🌸 billionaire romance
    🌸 second chance
    🌸 OTT/jealous hero

    About this book? He became one of my favorites from Eva Winners, I love Isa's story with Vasili so much. If jealous and possessive alpha males are your type, then Vasili is our man. He's as scary as he is hot.

    Isabelle is Vasili's sister's best friend, what doesn't stop her from having a huge gulf for the man, even though they have a huge age difference.
    Although Isabelle's feelings for Vasili are not known to her friend, Vasili is well aware of what her sister's young friend feels and uses this to his advantage to seek revenge between their families, something unknown to Isa.
    Isa trusts the man, but he, being a ruthless and cruel man, destroys Isabelle's heart for his revenge.
    There is a time skip, where years later he regrets what he did, but maybe it's too late and Isabelle has already forgotten him?!

    There is a lot of passion, but also pain between Isabella and Vasili, as they find each other again after a moment that was destructive for both of them, but more harmful for her. Isabella has become a strong person with a huge heart that she easily forgives, but she did not forget what Vasili put her through.
    I loved how Isa made Vasili run on his knees like a dog after her to earn her forgiveness. After all, there is nothing better than seeing an aggressive and dangerous alpha male declare his love and devotion for his woman. And Vasili is completely devoted to Isabella and his family.
    During the story, we are introduced to other characters and families from the Belles and Mobsters series, leaving some topics open for the following books.
