Mine (Ties That Bind Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 2,467 ratings

She was never supposed to walk into my club.
But she did.

I shouldn’t have looked twice at her.
But I did.

The criminal underworld is no place for a girl like her.

One night with Katerina isn’t enough, but men like me can’t afford to be weak.
So, I tell her to leave me behind.

She does, but not before she sees something she shouldn’t.

When she goes into hiding, it’s my duty to hunt her down.
I have a job to do, and she needs to disappear for good.

But four years later, Kat isn’t alone anymore.
And the little boy right beside her looks just like me.

WOW, my friends! I did a super squeal of excitement when this hit my kindle. I knew from the blurb and the fact that it was written by an amazingly talented duo like A. Zavarelli and Natasha Knight, that we were in for greatness. I was not disappointed. This book is dark, raw, sinister and gritty. It will grab you from the very beginning with this phenomenal combination of unbelievably hot tension and edge of your seat suspense. Get ready to be simultaneously fanning yourself and frustrated. Levka Antonov was both her Prince Charming and her Villian. He was gorgeous and god like with his power. He was as delicious as he was dangerous. He was feared! When he wanted something he got it, and he decided that he wanted Katerina to be his “Katya.” They hit it off and it was everything more than even he could have predicted! He knew she was hiding things but he had ways of getting to the bottom of it and he would find out exactly who and what she was hiding. When something in his business goes down and Katerina disappears, Lev is both concerned and angry at her for disappearing. There are a lot of speculations and distrust surrounding her from his Family business associates, will he abide by the orders he’s given when her location is discovered after a few years? However, will an unexpected secret game changing curveball Katerina has been carting with her for three years, throw a monkey wrench in all of Lev’s plans? Just how exactly will Lev punish her? "I'm taking back what's Mine" Katerina Blake was a beautiful broken and poor young woman, but she’s hiding a troubled and scarred past beneath first glance. One no one could even imagine. She was such a strong and resilient character. I loved her so much. My heart broke for the little girl she’d been and what she endured as a child, but it fist pumped at the strong kick ass woman she’d become. Now, when she met Lev, it was a collision of hotness y’all. Good god! Their chemistry was overwhelming. She was strong but he brought out a submissive side to her that she didn’t know existed, holy hades, y’all! 🔥 She would do anything he said. She fell hard and fast, understandably so. But when a devastating tragic event happens and he is to blame on the same day she finds out life changing news. She must do what she needs to protect more than just herself. She could have cowered but she didn’t. She did what she had to. She is the kind of character I FLOVE, my friends! She goes through all the emotions and through such growth as a character and it makes for such an amazing read. You get to see her at her lowest then go to seeing her in her most protective and survival mode. She.is.just.fantastic! 🙌🏻😍🙌🏻 *I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book! My Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️- This book is all you could want in a Mafia/Second Chance/Secret Baby Romance. It captured everything I was looking for and more. It was so full of secrets, lies, action. It was full of suspense, angst, GAH the sex! My heart was on edge the whole time! 💔 Everything going on, fabulous!! These characters are fantastic and complex and I’m dying for “Him” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥-OMG! Their encounters were SO.FREAKIN.HOT!! Lev is Alpha AF and made Katerina submit in the hottest of ways. Fanning and dying, fanning and dying🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🌪Cliffhanger Warning- 🌪🌪🌪HOLY CLIFFHANGER!You will NOT get resolution in this book! Book two is coming!! 😳🤯😳🤯 🔫 Trigger Warning-This is a Mafia romance and does have gang-ish/fight/violent scenes that are a smidge graphic and could be considered triggers for some. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.

    Since jealous and possessive heroes are my kryptonite how could I not be drawn to this story? If not the title then the book description did it for me. My only hesitation about reading it is was my concern that Lev would not be celibate during the separation while Kat would be. If anything will hurt my enjoyment of a story then it is cheating and/or the hero having sex with OW after meeting the heroine while the heroine is a sexual deep freeze. No matter how many reviews I read I could not find out the answer to my question and so I took the plunge and read it anyway.

    I am glad that I did because I enjoyed reading the story and Lev was celibate during the separation as was Kat. Sure it was a lot more clear that Kat was celibate because Lev asked her. However did Kat bother to ask Lev? No apparently it was not a problem for her either way. However some of the story is from Lev's point of view and so two of his thoughts confirmed that he was celibate during the separation. Specifically he thought,

    "It's been 4 long years and I am not going to last." and
    "My c*ck unleashing 4 years of pent up tension and a f*ck long of come."

    With some exceptions, the authors both tend to have jealous and possessive heroes and Levi is as well and so I got my fix. Also the story includes hot sexy times and kept my interest. I read it in one sitting. Sure it ends in a cliffhanger and the second book is not out for a couple more weeks but I knew both of these things ahead of time and so I didn't have a problem with either. I will be reading the next book.

    I love the characters and the plot of the story although it lacks deeper emotional plot. This is a great cliffhanger that assures you read the second book.

    What an amazing duo of authors: Natasha Knight and Ashleigh Zavarelli! I’ve read both of them individually for a few years now. Natasha with her Benedetti Crime Family series (among other notable works) and Ashleigh with her Boston Underworld series (also among other notable works). The two of them came together to give us Mine, another stellar entry into their already impressive body of writing. This is such a riveting read! This book is part of a duet. The next book, named His, releases in April. Lev, a member of the Russian Bratva meets Kat, an innocent who encounters him one night in a night club. They both share an instant attraction but Lev is sensible enough to want to keep Kat out of his lifestyle. However, circumstances being what they are, this turns out to be an impossibility. And to make matters worse, Kat is privy to knowledge that can get her killed and Lev’s cousin, Andrei, a true psychopath, is just fine with destroying her. The story unfolds from there. This yet another fine piece of writing from each of these authors. If I see a book is being published that is written by either of them, I jump on it. But a book coauthored by both of them? I’m sold without even reading the blurb. As is usual with these two, the world building is perfect, the characters real and distinct, and the plot well executed and fascinating. I can’t say enough good things about this story. I started and finished it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down once I began. If you’re looking for a really good mafia romance, this book is for you. Highly recommended.

    This Russian mobster will stop at nothing to protect his family. A possessive, alpha male who will risk it all.

    Lev and Kat meet at Delirium. It’s a club that embraces the darker side of life. Kat was brought by her best friend Nina to celebrate her ninteenth birthday. A little extra chemical fun leads to a bad situation that forces Lev to step in. He’s no hero. He’s everything Kat should run from.

    Kat’s young but she knows what she wants. She may not know what’s good for her, but Lev is a risk she wants to take. He knows he should stay away. But the temptation is just too much to resist.

    Kat expects to have her fun and then walk away. However, her whole life is about to be irrevocably changed. Her best friend’s father is on the wrong side of the mafia and Nina gets dragged along. Kat unknowningly goes to Nina for help with a personal matter. Wrong place, wrong time. Now Kat is on the run.

    You can’t run fast enough or far enough from the Russian mafia. It may take time, but they will find you.

    Lev is fearless. Protecting his family is ingrained in who he is. His mafia boss was his family. When secrets begin to unfold, loyalties change. Lev wants the truth, but now he has more to lose.

    A great mafia romance with suspense and steamy, hot sexy times. You’ll love Lev’s possessive side. This man will stop at nothing to keep what’s his.

    Lev and Kat have an immediate attraction that they act on quickly. They only have one night together before Kat sees something she shouldn’t. She goes on the run, and Lev must chase her down. It takes four years for the two to be reunited, and Lev to find out he has a son. Lev’s Russian mafia family is still looking for Kat and she’s is in imminent danger. Will Kat’s survivor instinct allow her to willingly go with Lev? Will Lev risk everything to keep his family safe?

    I was entertained by this action-filled read that has plenty of steam and suspense. Both Lev and Kat have intriguing backstories that enhance the overall storyline and keep you engaged throughout the book. The cliffhanger ending will have immediately purchasing the other book in the duet to see how this all ends.

    I swear I've read this before but Goodreads tells me no.

    Young Kat is at the wrong club. She meets the wrong guy and is spared by someone with an even darker aura. Wooed by her knight, she finds herself in his bed. And now she's in the fight of her life.

    Fear clings to her. Shadows make her edgy. Kat, no longer goes by Kat, and has much more to lose. Especially when her knight, who isn't who she thought, shows up again. He's playing for keeps. She's trying to stay alive.
