 I enjoyed the organized crime storyline very much. I've never read a story about someone in this line of work and I was fascinated by what made Nikolai tick. Reading about his past and how he got to be where he was helped me see inside his character and better understand him as a person. And, of course, it added to the mystery and adventure in the book. 
 To me, Nikolai was one part worldly and one part innocent. His reactions to Daisy and how he treated her were proof that this world of love was new to him but I really liked that he didn't let that phase him. He did what he thought was right and kept trying to do what he thought was best for her...and, ultimately, he wasn't always right so he apologized a lot! That too, humanized him in my eyes. Daisy wanted to explore the world, something she'd not been able to do ever in her life, and meeting Nikolai was like learning to swim by being thrown head-first into the ocean. She did a bit of drowning but eventually got her bearings! The angst and the romance in this book were definitely off the charts. 
 A lot goes on in this story...some is frustrating and some is downright scary but it makes the reader turn the pages quickly and look forward to what's coming next. The relationship is super hot and will probably have you glued to the pages as well. Overall, I enjoyed the book and look forward to what's coming next!
