Diamond Devil

Zakharov Bratva, Book 1

De: Naomi West

Narrado por: Connor Brown, Cecily Foster

It's my first time meeting my sister's fiancé. I knock on the door, and who do I see with his arm around her? The man who got me pregnant.

Three months ago, I almost got hit by a car. The guy behind the wheel was as gorgeous as they come. We got to talking and… well, things got a little carried away, if you know what I mean.

But when it was over, we went our separate ways.

Except, not quite. The little plus sign on this pregnancy test tells me our story isn't over. But that's a problem for another day. First, I have to go to my sister's engagement party.

When I see who she's marrying, my jaw hits the floor. This… This cannot possibly be real.

But it is real. So is the attraction I felt when I first met Ilarion Zakharov. So is the hatred. And so are the bullets that start flying when Ilarion's enemies attack the party.

Turns out Mr. Not So Nice Guy is a big bad Bratva don. Now that he knows I'm pregnant with his heir, he's not letting me out of his sight.

Diamond Devil is book one of the Zakharov Bratva duet. The story continues in book two, Diamond Angel. This is a light mafia contemporary romance with no cheating.

Misgivings

They all hide behind half truths and lies. Trying to make the best out of the lies digging the hole even deeper till nobody sees the hurt.

Good story, but ...

The audiobook narration was great. My problem; and it is MY problem, is the angst. I had a hard time getting through the story as there was so much tension, drama, soul searching and self-sacrifice by the heroine (who I found likeable, but unlikeable, at the same time). That being said, I will read/listen to the next one because I have to know how they overcame the hurdles and complications! It had better not be a cliffhanger ... Did I mention how much I HATE cliffhangers?

4/5 stars – Hot, unhinged, and absolutely my type of chaos

4/5 stars – Hot, unhinged, and absolutely my type of chaos

Diamond Devil was like being handed a lit match and told, don’t worry, it’s fine. Spoiler: it wasn’t. But I loved it.

This book gave me just the right amount of bad decisions, tension I could feel, and characters who had no business being that hot or that reckless. I was constantly flipping pages like, “Oh no baby, what are you doing?”—but also not stopping, because I clearly have issues and this story was feeding all of them.

Was it a little messy? Yes. Did I care? Not even a little. I wasn’t here for perfection—I was here for vibes, heat, and that delicious emotional chaos that makes you question everything.

If you’re in the mood for something a little rough, a little reckless, and a lot unputdownable… this one’s got your name on it.

No Plot and a cliffhanger

It kept going from one point to another without explanation. It would have been so much better if the plot was explained att the beginning;. Of course it starts getting exciting toward the end of the book . Now i want to know what happens to Ilarion and Taylor, but will wait until Diamond Angel is on sale or free. Narrators did a great job.

the twist

I listen to the first book in one day couldn't put it down can't wait for part 2

Desire

This is a story deep. With desire, and want, and not just the sexual sense either.

SO GOOD!!

Such a great story! I liked it from start to cliffhanger-finish! Everything is included: laughing, crying (yes! I cried!), angsty time, sexy time, suspense, betrayal…so much more!!! I’m so excited for book 2!

Engaging and endearing

Engaging plot, endearing relationship building, lovely narrators. I have a feeling more twists are coming and I Can’t wait for next book.

It was good

It was good and I enjoyed it overall, but I did get tired of Taylor caring more about her sister than herself.

Wonderful Story! TERRIBLE narration

This was a wonderful story! I wish they had chosen better narrators. I really hate that they leave you hanging. You have to buy the next story to see what happens. Also, it really stinks how they start off the next book. FIVE YEARS?!
