Russian Tattoos Obsession

By: Kat Shehata

Narrated by: Melissa Moran

Falling in love isn't a crime - but falling in love with a Russian mafia boss could be deadly.

Competitive tennis player Carter Cook wants a taste of freedom. Her overprotective father monitors every aspect of her life, so when he becomes employed by Vladimir Ivanov - a sexy Russian with an array of tattoos and an accent that weakens her knees - a bit of danger is within Carter's grasp. Behind her father's back, she enjoys spending time with Vladimir at his lavish estate. But is he really the upstanding businessman she believes him to be?

Vladimir Ivanov reigns as godfather of a Russian mafia crime ring.

Vladimir spent five years of his life in a Siberian prison camp and has earned every tattoo inked into his skin. He is a powerful man who gets what he wants, and after stalking the gorgeous tennis player for years - he wants Carter. A little charm melts her heart, and behind the scenes, he orders his henchman to track her every move.

He's a tattooed stick of dynamite ready to blow at the slightest spark.

As their romance reaches deadly levels, Carter senses something's not right. When she's lured into a compromising position at the hands of a shady European drug dealer, she calls in Boris, Vladimir's right hand man, to rescue her - without telling Vladimir. With his authority questioned, he sets out to teach Carter a lesson about loyalty she'll never forget.

When Carter realizes she's in too deep, she must fight for her freedom before the attraction turns fatal.

But the Russian mafia plays for keeps, and Vladimir's fierce lust to possess her spirals their romance out of control.

Trilogy?

Why does audible only offer book one in a series and doesn’t offer the rest of the series? These books were released in 2017. Initial when I had purchased this book I had thought it was a standalone. Sure I could read the rest of the series, but then that negates having the audible membership. 🤔

Funny, Dark and what did I just listen too?

I really enjoyed this book mainly because the narration is so funny even though the subject matter is a bit dark. Melissa Moran's narration really reflects the TSTL college girl Carter and her youth. Carter is one of those girls that if she were living in the south everyone would say "Bless her heart" She manages to get herself in ridiculous trouble like all of the blondes of a slasher movie. Somehow though, she is endearing and you really want her to get away from her obsession. Her Russian would be love is the head of the Bratva and he both indulges and chastises Carter in equal measure but is obsession with her leads him to take a darker turn in his treatment of her. This book has been criticized for not being a romance but since this is a trilogy I'm sure all is not what it seems - though at the end of the book it does seem very bleak. Unfortunately the rest of the series is not in audiobook but I will read them anyway because I have to see how it all pans out. Fingers crossed Carter makes it to the last page...

omg

Great find

Love this book and hope the rest of the books come to audible.
Who needs sleep it is that good. A must have.

These people are crazy especially Carter

Would you try another book from Kat Shehata and/or Melissa Moran?

Not any time soon. I'll let a few years pass. Hopefully, here story plots would have gotten better. I don't have anything against the narrator. Melissa was the one of the two things that keep me reading. The other is me wanting to give an honest review of this book.

What was most disappointing about Kat Shehata’s story?

Carter was so annoying. The sad thing I think she reflects exactly how a sheltered girl at her age would be. That is one positive thing I can say about this book. The characters seemed plausible.

Did Melissa Moran do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes. Each character was well defined.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

This book was kinda like a mini soap. There is so much drama. Even though I new from chapter one that I didn't like the story, I kept listening to see how it will end.

Any additional comments?

Kinda feel bad for Vladimir. Carter needs more time to grow into an adult. He deserves better.

I'm hooked!

I loved the reading and charachter voices. Narrator really draws you in. I hope to see the rest of the series soon!
