Vasili Nikolaev.

Dangerous. Deadly. And most of all, devastating.

He’s the king of New Orleans.

Ruler of the Russian mafia and my best friend’s oldest, mouthwatering brother.

On Halloween night my last year in college, I gave him everything. My body. My heart. My soul.

He burned it all to the ground with the first ray of dawn.

Lessons learned. I’ve moved on. Now, five years later, I have a career I love, a boyfriend. But Vasili is back in my life again. A temptation I don’t need.

One thing is for certain. Nikolaev always settles the score.

He’ll destroy everything and everyone, including my boyfriend.

The question is… What is Vasili’s end game?

Will he destroy me all over again or will I be the Phoenix rising from the ashes he left behind and take what I've always wanted? Him.

It was great to read the very start of the Belles and Mobsters story and follow Vasiliev and Isabella’s story. They’re not my favourite couple, but it’s still a tale I enjoyed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vasili and Isabella ♡
Reviewed in Australia on 25 November 2022

This book is set before the Belles and Mobsters series but it doesn't necessarily need to be read first. I loved seeing more of Alexei ♡ he is my favorite made man out of all her Mafia Men.

Vasili is the eldest Nikolaev and when his father died he took over the family business and as such is the protector of his younger siblings. Isabella is his sister Tatianas best friend and a woman he can't get out of his head but his interest in her has more to do with revenge than lust. Isabella though is consumed by thoughts of her best friends very older brother and hers are all about lust but after a night in the sheets Vasili leaves her heart in tatters on the floor and disappears leaving her broken.
5 years pass and she manages to somewhat move on but when he pops up again one night whilst she's with her new partner the feelings all come back.
Vasili inserts himself into her life again with many regrets of his treatment of her and will do anything to have her in his life permanently but convincing Bella to trust him a second time will prove difficult but with the truth out about her true parentage many will do anything to get their hands on the beauty something Vasili will never let happen.

I didn't realise there was a book to read before Luciano so I have read all of the other books before this. This book sets the scene for the rest and you won't be disappointed. I loved reading this whole series and it's been a while since I've found a series that I'm addicted to. Must read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bratva, touched on.
Reviewed in Australia on 20 April 2022

Vasili. I adore an irredeemable character, I’d hoped he wouldn’t go soft and sweet as they’re prone to with the usual age gap recipe. He did tone his attitude down, which is why I’ll call it Bratva themed. They weren’t overly strong alpha, underworld characters.

“𝐼 𝒽𝒶𝒹 𝒻𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒶𝓉𝓉𝓇𝒶𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓌𝑒 𝓂𝑒𝓉.”

Sadly I found speech patterns very immature for a man in his 40’s. I loved the dominance in the first chapters. The conversation was stilted and awkward throughout. A very strange style.

Isabella, for her career choice, and age, she came across as indecisive. Cliché perhaps? Needing the dominant male? It is an age gap read—looking at a considerable gap, you’d hope the older partner saw maturity, not whiney and wishy-washy actions.

Cross over POV’s were repetitive. They didn’t offer a new perspective. Frustrating as it pulled me from the story. Research relevant to medicine required.

The plot is very similar to so many. I’d love to see originality. It felt more of a NA read.

Not dark for me. Dark themes, touching on Bratva. 2.5⭐️

4.0 out of 5 stars What An Intriguing Book!
Reviewed in Australia on 6 January 2023
Note: This is a prequel to the belles and mobsters series. Please read in order to understand the storylines.

Triggers: violence, child ab**e, cheating Dubious consent, drama, cancer, s**ide mentioned, tra***ing.

This book was on extra levels of wow.

Set before the series of belles and mobsters, it explains the bad blood between several cartels and how one women binds them all together. Through some seriously over complicated connections, they all tie in with each other.

The woman in question has her own tragic life although not as massive scaled as her now current life but still very fragile and heart shattering. But soon she gets embroiled in troubles and a love unexpected.

Wow this story was something special indeed. Usually I’ve slight troubles connecting to this series. But I loved this quick intro to the belles and mobsters series. And how this one woman ties em all together.

I loved the characters, how they all bond, who they are individually (the voices are just so individual), the relationships (I loved them all even the main MCs), the drama (though sometimes it got on my nerves), the scorching chemistry, the emotions, the plot itself, and just the overall writing was addictive.

I can’t wait to read more by Eva!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, intense age-gap
Reviewed in Australia on 29 November 2022
Vasili and Isabella - alpha male perfection and a smitten heroine - who I might add, doesn't let him walk over her twice. And that's where the magic begins!

I didn't read these books in order as I was late finding Eva Winners, but now that I have found her books I am reading ALL OF THEM! Such angst, such vulnerability and such great characters who have believable story arcs, richly drawn secondary characters and intensely dark and demanding emotional arcs. More please.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an amazing book
Reviewed in Australia on 29 October 2021
After reading this book I had to take a little time to compose myself and get my thoughts clear in my head before I put them in a review.
Wow this book was amazingly written. Once I started I couldn’t put it down till I was finished. This book has twists and turns you don’t know what’s happening. will they all get there happily ever after or will it all go wrong. To find out what happens go buy the book. You won’t be disappointed I wasn’t.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I’ve read pretty much every book Eva has written but I had not read this one yet. I’m so glad I finally did though. Vasili and his brothers are characters that make an appearance in almost every one of the books that happen after this one. If not in they are mentioned. That’s part of what makes all of her books add!cting for me. Seeing all the different connections and puzzle pieces and how they all fit.

Den of Sin is basically the start of all her future series the first being The Belles and Mobsters series. This is a standalone and every book throughout all her series can be read as a stand alone but I always suggest trying to read in order if you can, to truly get insight to the characters who will eventually get their own book.

This is a best friends older brother. It is a large age gap but when they first connect with their attraction she is 21. Isabella had a huge crush on Vasili and after three years they share one night of passion. The next morning he ripped her heart apart. He did so cause he had made a promise to his dying mother to seek revenge for her. That revenge was meant for Isabella’s mother. But he was misinformed and was lied to. Five years later he becomes determined to finally take what he has always wanted, her.

Their attraction and heat I felt came through the pages. The knowing and needing each other while Vasili knew he was not worth it. He knew he’d not be able to let her go. That and he needed to protect her from the people who threaten her safety. She only knew how he made her feel and even though she was scared and knew she wouldn’t survive a second heartbreak, she can’t help it. He owned her heart had body.

There are a ton of twists and connections. Hints as to what will happen in the future books. Triggers are anything you expect for a m@fia romance. The t0rtur€ of the bad guys is needed. So be warned of that.

Ah, now I finally got the big picture of the family. I have read all the Nikolai siblings book and the rest of the Belle and Mobster series. Reading this is going backward but glad I finally have Visili and Isabella's story. It a great story. Love how they all interact with the underground Familia. Now I have completed everyone's story except for Alessio. Can't wait to read his book.
