He treated her like a punching bag and she just kept coming back. I started to get my hopes up when he realized he fucked up and started to grovel but that was at least 80% into the book. And then wham cliff hanger.
Also the million references to Clara and Maksim really took away from the main characters and their story.

Champagne Venom was everything I expected.... and more: dark, exciting, spicy, violent. I read through this book in like 3 days! There was such emotion, trauma, teeth-pulling drama. The slow-burn love between Misha and Paige had my heart torn to pieces. I loved this book and can't wait to dig into book 2.

Waaaaaaayyyyy too long and so boring. There was zero chemistry between the two MCs- extremely underwhelming.

Mafia boss, necessary marriage, this book had an amazing plot that kept me reading. It’s longer than the books I typically read, but it didn’t feel that way. I can’t wait to start the second book.

I’ve read quite a few of Nicole’s duets but this is definitely my favourite so far. It feels like my birthday each time I see that she has a new release. I need more, I need the second book asap. I NEED ANSWERS!!!! I really enjoyed this book, but it ended on a cliffhanger and I just can’t wait. I really like this couple, and I just can’t wait for them to completely fall for each other.
“I don’t know how to be around her without wanting to be closer. I don’t know how to be around her without wanting to fuck her senseless, wanting to make her laugh, wanting to keep her safe. I don’t know how to be around her without falling the fuck apart.”
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book and me have a love, hate relationship. While I like the concept of the book and the writing, the execution could've been done without being over 600 pages long.
There was so much of the same thing over and over that it was massively repetitive. Must of the middle of this book could've been summed down to a few chapters of Paige doing whatever she wants and Misha being a robot and a controlfreak. Sprinkle in some unfortunate scenes, they reflect on everything, they both see the error of their ways and then they lived Happily Ever After!
But we don't get that.
We just get the same argument over and over again. The same excuses. The same robot Misha no matter the situation. The same Paige doing whatever she wants despite someone trying to kill her! The same thing over and over until it has been beaten, bled, burned and revived just to do it all over again.
This could have been so much if it had been shorter. And that means something coming from me since I love long books because the pacing is better and I feel like the flow of the story is better. But this was not it.
