The mafia life is a dangerous one revolving around honor, duty, and greed—a troublesome thing like love isn’t meant to play a part, but no one follows the rules.

Surrounded by men waiting for the Russian mob boss to show weakness, Anton Avdonin should have known showering affection so openly on his new bride wasn’t a good idea. Of course, that didn’t stop him. When Anton’s wife begins attracting unwanted attention from an unknown source, he’s determined to find out just who is playing the risky game and put a stop to it by whatever means necessary.

From a Cosa Nostra princess to a Bratva queen, Viviana “Vine” Avdonin was made for the life. Pregnant, safe, and loved, she’s more than happy to move on from the history that haunts her to start out fresh. Then again, someone else has other plans. Old rivals from the past and bad blood from the present have mixed in the worst way, threatening to take away the things Viviana loves the very most. No matter what, she can’t let that happen.

Both Viviana and Anton know there’s only one way this can all end and it’s up to them to do it. But, who is behind the veiled threats and personal attacks, and how far are they willing to go to get what they want? When the truth finally surfaces, the consequences will be devastating and no one could have seen it coming.

In a life where everybody plays for keeps and no one fights fair, one mistake might cost them everything.

Sequel to The Arrangement
The Russian Guns, Book Two

*Please Note: Explicit sexual encounters and scenes of violence. The Life is not a standalone title. The first book in The Russian Guns series (The Arrangement) should be read before the second book*

Second in series 3.5 stars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2015

I have to start this review by saying how much I loved the previous book 'The Arrangement' it had everything I look for in a read, romance, hot alpha male, intelligent beautiful female who doesn't make stupid decisions and I can't stress that last part enough, plus it had an interesting story that keep me hooked.
I couldn't wait to start this book so what went wrong?
Honestly I'm not sure I just felt it kind of lost its way somehow, we still have Anton and he's just as hot and loves Viviana just as much, Viviana is still Viviana and loves Anton just as much but she's pregnant and the pregnancy seemed to take over the book, everything gets lost under it and while I enjoyed a lot of this book it also dragged at times.
No one's more surprised than me that I didn't absolutely love is book, I fully expected to but I'm still moving on and reading 'The Score'
Don't get me wrong it's not that this is a bad book it's just missing the element that made the last one so special.

#### I'm adding this to the bottom of my reviews for this series.
I checked the authors page which isn't something I generally do but I wanted to know if we were getting any more Russian Guns books. On the site there's 9 mini free reads/deleted scene books from this series and one in particular 'White Sand Black Beauty' is just beautiful it takes us to the second time Anton and Viviana meet, he's eighteen and rebelling against everything and then he sees her.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2015

This series has everything I look for in books! It has the family aspect, the mystery factor, the thrilling aspect, action packed, blinding love, great friendship, loyalty, betrayal, even some emotional scenes. (Anton and His father. or whenever he speaks of him will gets those eyes wet!)And on top of that the writing is flawless so it captures all those elements flawlessly.

I love how there were no exaggerations. You know how you always get those books where there's ruthless, pointless killing because the main character is the Boss and he can do whatever the hell he wants? For me personally I feel like those characters don't have depth to them and I just see them as... Nothing really. It's difficult to connect with them. And I think it's exceptionally great when an author can build a connection with unexpected characters you'd never have any feelings towards. Like Anton.

Anton Avdonin. He is not a good guy. But he is a damn good husband and son. He is the Boss for the New York Bratva and yes he is ruthless. He is a killer, he's the freakin' boss of a criminal organisation. So what exactly does this dude have going for him? He loves fiercely. He loves hard. He fights harder for those that he loves and even if you put that aside he's a pretty kickass boss. Quite reasonable as well even if he does come off as hot-headed sometimes.

But there were so many layers to this man it made him so human and not just a criminal. I loved him!!

The storyline itself kept me ridiculously entertained. Someone is making threats against Viviana and his position as NYBratva boss. and let me tell you, I should've seen it coming but I overlooked the twists and turns! It was all action packed when it needed to be and cute and sexy when time called for it. The perfect pace.

And Viviana. I loved her. She was understanding. She was reasonable and strong and loved just as fiercly and hardly as Anton. SUCH a perfect couple in a messed up world. She's pregnant in this installment and we get to read her journey of her pregnancy and how both Anton and Vine are settling into married life. Anton doesn't want to worry her with Bratva Business mostly to keep her safe. But she was not a pushover. She wanted to communicate with her husband.

Ah, another thing I adored. They both actually communicated. And the dialogue and everything felt so realistic to me and not exaggerated. There wasn't stupidity or immaturity. I feel like It's always perceived that a woman is strong if she can shoot, stand her ground, fight etc. But that's not the case for me personally. Viviana was strong because of her down to earth personality. They way she thought rationally. How she handled her self in intense situation. She doesn't want to know Anton's business and Anton doesn't really want to tell her either and she's okay with that as long as it's not bothering her and her marriage to the point where it's creating a drift. That's not her being naive. It's her deciding what she wants out of her life and how she'd rather live it in a world where everything is a mess and Dangerous.

And I just want to quickly say how much I adored the banter between Anton and Ivan, his best friend and lawyer. It's nice to read some if their lighthearted conversation when things are heavy and dirty.

I cannot explain how much I loved this book and how much I'm enjoying the series. I'm anxious to start the next book after reading the little snippet at the end....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2016

This is continuation of Vine and Anton's story. Vine now knows the truth of her heritage and she was mad at first but she understands why Anton could not tell her this truth.

Anton and Vine grow together as a couple and Anton has to protect Vine from the threats aimed at him and her as individuals and as a couple. He continues to demonstrate his utter love and devotion to her and this puts her in jeopardy because of course his enemies will use his love for her against him.

Another great chapter in this great mafia love story. I looking forward to reading book 3, now that they are married and have their first child.
