The Request: hot read not to miss + giveaway

I knew this story was made for me :o)

MY OPINION OF THE REQUEST

by Marquita Valentine

Russian assassin plus a weakness for an innocent woman he wants to protect but might have to kill? Well, I did not resist this at all!

Besides, this man runs a bookshop as his fake business. That's so cool! The woman in question is his (only) customer who goes there to buy romance novels and chart-charm him despite his rock-hard demeanor.

From the very beginning, I felt all connected to the character of Roman/Nikolai. His mind is an interesting place to dwell in. As soon as we learn about how he and Everly know each other, action kicks in full throttle. The tension never lets go. There is a dangerous tone in the atmosphere all along.

There are so many things I loved about this first installment:

-Roman's point of view: his thoughts, his reactions, his solemn self-loathing, his craving for Everly's soft touch

-the deadly secrets, tactics, and procedures of a contracted assassin's way of life

-the beautiful, sweet, sexy intimacy the author weaves in her writing

-oh, those tattoos in Roman's hands!

The pull of desire between them is undeniable, and achingly sensual to read about. However, there is an undercurrent of doom that laces every moment of closeness. The more personal it all becomes, the more deadly the danger that Roan poses for unsuspecting Everly. This double situation, the menace and the sweet romance, makes for an exciting reading. I loved how the attraction builds up slowly, but still there is so much heat going on every second. Roman's thoughts are lustful, though his behaviour is almost gentlemanly.

Verdict? In love with it already! I need, yes, I need the second part. Love serials, but they're hurtful to my patience ;o)
