I am her bodyguard.

I’m her only hope. 

I’m going to break her, teach her, train her.

I cannot stand this prissy brat who practically throws herself at every guy she meets. Yet I’m tasked with babysitting her. The pakhan’s daughter tests my patience, makes me want to break out in uncontrolled violence, or maybe just throw her down to show her what all her teasing does to a real man.

She’s untouchable. Until a Russian rival mafia comes seeking revenge. I’m about to teach the printsessa a lesson she’ll never forget, and I guarantee she’s the one who will be taking my orders from now on. 

The Russian Bodyguard is book 3 in the Krasnov Brothers series. No cliffhangers. No cheating. Includes vivid, steamy scenes. Can be read as a standalone.

I loved this story from beginning to end. Loved all these characters they were simply amazing! Maksim and Sasha have been playing the cat and mouse game for some time and have this love-hate relationship going on, they have been walking a fine line for some time, so I was curious if they would ever cross it but, the supposed hate for one another was simply a fierce attraction that would not be denied. Maksim was all alpha, hard, dominant, sexy as sin, and one scary man we would not ever like to cross but, he wears the crown on how to keep a girl's panties wet, swooning, and wanting to sin right alongside him. Sasha was a breath of fresh air as she was full of sass, class, and sexiness, and knew how to bait and snipe like no other. I found Sasha to be more than a pampered princess she was fierce, loyal, protective, and would go to great lengths to protect the ones she loves, and we loved what we discovered about her and those things made us love her even more. The story was full of tons of drama, danger, love, revenge, and betrayals, and had tons of chemistry. The chemistry and the sexiness between Sasha and Maksim were definitely off the charts their sexcapades were hotter than hell! We could go on and on about how much we loved them as a couple as they were downright perfect for one another. The story was full of so much hotness and sexiness that the pages just sizzled. Overall we are loving this series and the brothers but, Maskim's story turned out to be my favorite and moved up to the top of my chart for favorite reads for 2020. Maskim is a man who wants to tame his princess but, what he is getting is a princess that will never be tamed but, Maksim has finally met his match with Sasha and the taming might be fun and fulfilling but, who will own who when it's all said and done? We loved the story it kept us engrossed and turning the pages the entire time, and we could not put the book down until the very end.

Maksim’s chest heaved as he read me the riot act. “You are fucking impossible.”

“And you are the worst man I could ever have been shackled to!” 

His hand snapping out, he squeezed my cheeks hard. 

I tried not to flinch, but his grip was vise-like. 

Maksim lowered his face to mine, his gunmetal irises just this side of demonic. “I really will beat your ass if you ever attempt to go out on your own again.”

“Do it!”

Releasing my face, he yanked me into his unyielding embrace. His mouth crashed over mine with a fury I’d never tasted before. 

I struggled, kicking at anything I could reach. 

He speared his tongue into my mouth, wildly claiming what he thought was rightfully his. Holding me caged against him, he drove a hand into my hair, angling my neck, trying to conquer me. 

I let out a strangled growl then let the rage and arousal explode out of me. 

Wrath, lust . . . I despised him. 

Desire, rage . . . I wanted some part of him. 

Maksim grunted when I licked between his lips, drawing me up to his body so we collided in all the right ways—for once. 

We kissed so ferociously, clawing at each other, practically tearing into one another to get some kind of upper hand out of this pure madness. 

And still the heat roared. 

We broke apart just as forcibly as we’d clashed together, both of us breathing hard. 

“I hate you with every single fiber of my being,” I scathed.

“That makes two of us.” A hard sneer crossed his lips that had just been slanted across mine. 

Then, Maksim struck. 

He grabbed both sides of my blazer and ripped it open. Buttons popped off, pinging across the room. I looked down at my ruined leather jacket just as he tore if off my back. 

Breasts thrust against the corset that remained, I saw him through a haze of red when he slung the jacket aside like it was no more than a piece of rubbish. 

I launched back to smack him right across his face, but he captured my wrist in an iron grip. 

He towed me inexorably against him again, and all my feral instincts went into meeting his wild kiss. 

A loud groan thundered from his chest when I rolled my tongue over his then nipped at his bottom lip. His hands roved from my arms to my ass, and he cranked me right against his undeniable erection, which threw me back into that heady spiral of hate and lust. 

His sculpted features came slowly into focus when he drew back. 

A filthy grin the likes of which I’d never seen played across his lips that—goddamn him—had felt perfectly voracious against mine. “Shall I tell you what I’ve been thinking about?”

“What?” All the breath caught in my chest, my voice emerging raspingly. 

His smirk widened. He paced backward a couple of steps. Without taking his eyes off mine, he removed his tie. With a shift of his strong hands, he unbuttoned his shirt from top to bottom. A shrug of ropey shoulders, and he eased the material from his muscular tattooed torso. 

Then his fingers—the ones that had bit into the fleshiness of my ass—dropped to his trousers. 

The belt slithered and hissed like a snake when he removed it. He stepped out of his shoes, toed off his socks, went for the closure of his pants. 

His voice the same gruff timbre as always, he unzipped, saying, “I have been thinking about my cock in your mouth, Sashenka.”
