However when the son of the boss of the Belsky Bratva Mikhail Belsky , heir to the Belsky throne, learns Galina is to be married to someone else he makes a demand of his father unlike anything he ever had before. At 22 years old Mikhail didn't care Galina saw him as her bully at Belsky high, a school specifically for Bratva kids where he had terrorised her all her school life, he knew he bullied her but he couldn't deal with the thought of her never being his. Galina was a beautiful heroine and was a victim of bullying but did seem to forgive Mikhail quite quickly really as the story went on and you can see why as you learn that to Mikhail, Galina is his whole world. I loved as their story unfolded and although I think Galina forgave him quite quickly it was a really enjoyable read with twists and turns along the way and other characters being introduced, I do hope Peter gets to find his own happily ever after also. I really hope that you give Mikhail a chance because he is definitely worth the risk. Happy Reading!\r\n\r\n5 out of 5 stars \r\n\r\nPlease note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.

Yeah that’s what happened. It is so good that you just can't help but want to read more, just one more chapter becomes the whole book. The characters are wonderful, Mikhail is so in love with Galina he just has to have her and keep her safe, while Galina has a hard time believing he actually cares because of their past together(he wasn't that nice in highschool.) Even Galina's brother is loveable. The way Crescent writes men that love their women for exactly who they are, it sucks me in each time. I only hope that this world will grow and we get more.

She was such a firecracker with no filters and the understanding that if you didn't behave the way people expected, you could have some control in hard situations. I especially love when she first saw Lincoln that she knew he was it for her and set about freeing herself to be by his side. He was completely flabbergasted by her, when they first met, but her beautiful man sure caught on quick. Lol! Another fab thing in this read is that not only does she have a psychic skill, but so does he.

Vik was old and didn’t deserve Galina. I have to say, I wasn’t thrilled about him bullying her in school. Seriously, he could find other ways to get her attention.

I love then he falls first and chases the h and works to gain her trust and adoration. Galina is more of a shy introvert that keeps to her self. She has a backbone and speaks her mind and uses her quick wit to put Mikhail in his place. The bullying was more in the past and the story was more about him working to gain her trust and win her over. He did a lot behind the scenes to get her and was swoon worthy.
