Lethal Nights by Lora Leigh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sexy Russian with complicated past falls for simple divorcee

The Hero, Ilya Dragonavich, is a bit hard to quantify easily. He is basically a Mafia hitman who has been adopted into the head Mafia family. Though birth family is much more complicated. Either way, he is sexy as all get out and he finds this beautiful simple woman in the process of going through a bad divorce and he decides to help her out so she doesn’t lose her home to her deadbeat ex.

Ilya gets to know Emma Jane Preston better while negotiating the purchase of her house in order to save it for her by turning it in to a safe house for his boss, he determines that she is the woman for him. Though he doesn’t act on it at the time. One year later assassins try to kill her in her house so he has to come in and protect her and try to determine who wants her dead and why.

The story is fast paced, steamy and very good. It has all of the benchmarks of a great Lora Leigh book, such as suspense, drama, romance, humor, enjoyable supporting characters and more. I really liked the entire book. This was the first book in this series that I have read and I didn’t need to read the first two in order to understand or get involved in the story. However, I did like this enough to now want to go back and read the others.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
