DNF 70% 
 Man, oh man. This author's work follows a pattern for me. The books lure me in and keep me extremely interested for the first half... but then suddenly take a nosedive. I stayed up late to get me through 50%, I was so into it. The story described this girl who had nothing and was starving and the guy who took pity on her. It was emotional. 
 Then the story suddenly went downhill. All of a sudden the heroine turns out to be a niece of the hero's uncle through marriage. (don't worry, it's not really a spoiler.) Yes, exactly. Wtf? But wait, she also has a brother but he is an adopted son of her uncle who was in love with her mother who was in love with his brother. Get it? Its like a fucking soap opera. I wanted to throw my e-reader at the wall. Just kidding, I would never do that - I can't live without it. 
 Also, being Russian, I was kind of annoyed at the misuse of Russian words and expressions. A baby would not be calling a father "otet" (if anything it would be "otets") The term means father in a very formal way. I never heard kids using it as a term of endearment for their fathers. Also, babies would not be using the term " zhena" to describe a woman. It means "wife". My kids are almost 5 and they still don't really know what this term means. 
 The whole Russian mob thing was ridiculous. But then I'm not really a fan of anything mafia related in my romance reads.
