Violent Devotion: Special Edition

This special edition is absolutely beautiful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I say this is one of favorite Mafia books I have ever read, I truly mean it. It felt different than many other books I’ve read before… but in the best possible way. This story is raw, unhinged, and filled with a type of love that will make your soul ache. Violent Devotion pulled me in from the first chapter and I just couldn’t put this book down. The chemistry between Alexei and Kelly was intense, unfiltered, and emotionally charged. Alexei, a big scary Russian mafia enforcer who knows no boundaries and has never been with a man due to the expectations of the mafia and his father. Kelly is a veterinarian who see’s the best in everyone and ignores red flags when it comes to Alexei. He loves animals and has a natural care giver personality but has gone through trauma. They are complete opposites but the love they share is profound. “Zaychik.” His thumb brushes my jaw. “This isn’t up for debate. I want to take care of you. I’ve never begged for a single thing in my entire life, but I will beg you for this. Please. Just let do this for you.” I will forever be recommending this book. Violent Devotion is a must read if you like MM mafia romance. You know that feeling you get when you start a book by an author your not familiar with and you just absolutely fall in love with there writing style and characters? Yep, I will read anything you write L. Norell. This was absolutely fantastic and will live rent free in my…

Kelly has been working nights at a vet clinic over the past year. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened. So, go figure that something happens the one time he falls asleep. He suddenly finds himself stitching up a strange man that has broken in while at gunpoint. He suddenly finds himself being stalked by said man. Alexei is a butcher, an executioner for a better term of the word. But with Kelly, he’s become a protector. And he will not stop at anything to make sure that the people who have wronged Kelly pay. Alexei has never known obsession like he has when it comes to Kelly. There is something about the veterinarian that draws him in. His kindness and understanding when it comes to others while under duress piqued Alexei’s curiosity. Who is the person who saved his life in one of his most vulnerable moments? And why are strange things happening to him? Kelly is keeping secrets, and Alexei is on a mission to uncover every last one. But the more he is around Kelly, he finds himself under his spell. Which, in his world, being with a man is looked down upon. It could cost him his life. But Kelly is well worth that risk. This book has been one of my highly anticipated reads this year, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely adored their story. The care that Alexei showed Kelly warmed my heart, especially when you find out that Kelly hasn’t had anyone to lean on since his mother’s passing. And the way Kelly cared for Alexei in return and showing him a love he never…
