Re-read July 2019 - I forgot just how much I loved this series, the wheeling and dealing, twisting and turning really got me this time.
Nothing I say could convey just how hard I LOVED this series, there wasn't a damn thing that I could find fault with. Stellar, solid writing, amazing characters, strong plot lines and a love that was gorgeous to witness even though my guts was in absolute knots at times.
5+ stars for this series. I absolutely adored it.

Intense, Gritty & Emotionally Gripping! A Powerful Read! I Loved It!
Addictive read.
This is the third book in this series, I absolutely loved the first one 'The Arrangement' it was like a hot, violent modern day fairytale bringing Anton and Viviana together, I had mixed feelings on the second 'The Life' the characters seemed to get lost under the all consuming pregnancy and therefore I debated reading this book and I'm so glad I made the decision to continue on.
The fairytale is over and real life is knocking on their door, the charges are piling up against Anton ...more
For some time now, I have been in a huge reading funk, can't seem to be interested in anything, you won't believe the amount of books I have started but have not finished, they just turn out to be the same disappointing generic plot, and yes I am being a hypocrite because I will continue to read them as I still enjoy the hell out of them. But having said that, lately I've been wanting something different, with more action, a deeper connection between the characters not the same insta love crap I

TEARS. LOTS OF FUCKING TEARS.
Not the kind of tears you expect but happy tears because GOD DAMN, Anton and Vine make my heart swell.
THIS SERIES WAS SO UNEXPECTED IN SO MANY WAYS, you expect Anton and Vine to have an arranged marriage and what not, but it's so much more than that, they were fucking meant to be the moment they met. Just spending 24 hours together, they just knew it and they were young teenagers and they found love. They didn't care about the journey, they just knew that each other ...more

Hello Bethany-Kris, you've just gained yourself a die-hard fan!
This series, my goodness! Kept me company and kept me awake for the last week. Amazingly written! Loved it all, even the parts that killed me.

I am loss for words.
Please bear with me because I'll most likely just throw in all my thoughts regarding the book/series into this review and it might not even makes sense.
This is how you end a story. I laughed at the banter between lifelong friends, I smiled insanely at the interaction between father and son. I swooned crazily at the love shared between husband and wife. I was on the edge of my seat with the action packed drama going on. But I also cried a ton because of all the emotions that ...more

The first book started with a bang that IMO "The Score" had missing.
I finished it rather quick...without skimming it but I kept thinking that the story line was becoming more predictable as it progressed.
I Still enjoyed the series!!! Mrs Bethany-Kris really brings you the gritty and dark side of the mob world and infuses it with naughty scenes like no other.

I don't even know what to say. This book tore me to pieces and put me back together while putting me through everything in between!!! I know that I have said it before but Bethany you are amazing!!! So talented and brilliant!!! By far the best mafia romance author ever!!! Your story lines are so original. Granted they may be about the same topic -hence the mafia- but nothing and I mean nothing about your story lines are the same. You never know what to expect except that you are going to be in

This series did not end the way I wanted it to.
The first two books work to set up Anton and Vine as this amazing couple, who love each other so deeply and so passionately, and were thrown together via an arranged marriage based on the wishes of their parents, all of whom are involved in organized crime. But, at the first sign of trouble in their marriage, they both turn into people I didn't like very much. Vine is petulant and bratty, despite being chosen for Anton because of her experience in ...more

Back to the action and adventure of the first novel. Still more sex and romance like both of the novels. It's awesome. It's realistic. It's touching. The character growth this author shows us is perfectly believable in every way. Their reactions are exactly what I would expect.

Happy Ending Indeed...
I have been in love with Anton and Viviana from when I read their first book. This third and last book is even better than the first two, surprisingly. I didn't think they would make it, but they did. Sure there was violence, but there was a lot of passion and sex, and of course love. Anton's trial was touch and go at first but Vivian pull off a class act.

This is the conclusion to Anton and Viviana's love story. To make sense of the story read the books in order. This book started from where the story left off previously. A series of different situations happens in this story, from infidelity, miscarriage, depression, pregnancy, arrest to court case. It was very well written and kept me in its grip the whole time. In the end we get a glimpse of the next generations story. I will definitely be reading that as well.
This is the final instalment Vine and Anton's story. The relationship gets tested and Vine has put herself out there to save her husband. The couple has to work through their issues and raise their family.
The last chapter cuts to Demyan and his relationship with Gia.
I am still enjoying the series and I cannot wait to see what his children are going to be like.

A great conclusion for a mighty series about strong man, his wife and love beyond words. Anton is my new best bad boyfriend. Love him

To imagine I had this novel for years and chose not to read it because of the trial aspect. Turns out those court room scenes were some of the best.
I have never been able to recall much from this series because my time lapse in reading them is usually huge. This time was no different and I found that I remembered the important things as the story progressed.
Though I could use a few less sex scenes, this novel was certainly raw and real. The emotions, the issues, the conflicts and the solutions. ...more

Settling the Score
I'm quite thrilled to say that "The Score" was just as good, if not better, than the first two books in the series! I was on pins and needles regarding Anton's fate! Meanwhile, Anton continues to be number one on my list of sensitive Pakhans who aren't afraid to cry!

Bang bang.
What a whirlwind. What would you do for the one you loved? How would feel when your actions cause someone else pain? Viviana and Anton navigate through this Bratva life and it make for a fantastic book, without a doubt. Anton and Viviana will always hold a place in my heart now.

Exciting read to an already awesome series.
At the end of the last book we knew Anton was in trouble. We didn't know what it was or how it happened. In this book we find out. Anton is still sought out for the murders of Sonny and the Belovs. The feds might finally have something to put him away. His family goes through many ups and downs in this book and Anton shows just what type of man he is. As for Vine, she's always the pillar of strength. Pillars can crack though and when they do if they don't have the support of others they fall.

I am so depressed to see this trilogy end and already miss the characters. When you miss the characters enough to not want to start another book immediately, that tells me it's a good story. In this case, I am very relieved to still have two more books to read about Anton and Vine's children.
Again, this part of the story was a complete surprise to me. When I expected drama from the inner dealings of the Bratva, I was surprised with the drama being based around Anton getting caught! I actually ...more

This is the epic conclusion to Anton and Viviana's story--gripping, heart-breaking, brutal but so very worth the journey. Once again, I am amazed at the twists and turns this series has managed to spin. Nothing beats a reading funk better than an unpredictable book.
This book tells of how human people can still be despite being seemingly infallible. Anton may be almost untouchable in his world but despite that, the law still managed to catch up with him. He may be the tough-as-shit character to ...more

~~~Zarah's Review~~~
Again this author has not disappointed. The intensity and passion between Anton and Viviana is back with a vengeance but is tested to the extreme. Bethany Kris captures perfectly very real and human emotions when this couple face each heartbreak, infidelity and separation. But you cant keep a good couple down.
