Misha & Paige: Not really liking Misha too much

This book came highly recommended by different Facebook groups I’m in. I usually try to avoid this author’s books because I have been disappointed with them in the past. Nicole Fox seems to enjoy the pregnancy trope, which I love. However, once the preggo bomb did dropped, it’s as if it isn’t a factor moving forward and the story takes you somewhere you didn’t expect to end up. Against my better judgement, I decided to read it and what I got from this book is more of the same.

Paige is a down on her luck woman who has been bamboozled by her ex and ends up temporary homeless and hungry. She meets Misha, the new Bratva boss unaware of who he is and she has a one night stand with him. After a whole lot of drama in between, She soon finds herself married to Misha in a marriage of convenience when she really wants more.

Call me petty but it really bothers me when the term “Don” is used when it’s really “Pakhan”. I can understand Mischa’s reluctance to allow anyone to get close to him but he was overly cruel to her. Her life was threatened three times and you would think it would wake him up to acknowledge his feelings for Paige. Well, it didn’t.

Ends in a cliffhanger. Honestly, being a KU subscriber is the only reason why I’m going to read the second book in the series but at this point, I expect more of the same.

Happy reading!
