ONE THRILLING TREAT!!!
OMG! Wow! Man, talk about a spinning vortex. Natasha nails this baby 100% on point realism that rocks this gem to the core. A throng of startling mishaps and unforeseen events hurls all of those churning emotions bursting forward in this blazing storyline and gripping plot. All the riveting drama with bone chilling suspense that hook this baby together piece by piece perfectly. A non-stop, action packed, pulse racing, page flipping dynamo that keeps you on a razors edge. Struggling through all the trials and tribulations trying to stay one step ahead and running out of time. Twists and turns abound with a few bumps and bruises that propel this bad boy to life flawlessly. The chemistry between the two main characters is white-hot, off the charts, explosive. The characters are genuine, intangible and realistic with such depth and qualities that blend and flow smoothly. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive its paints a fantastic backdrop. Remarkable job Natasha, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.

This is a wonderful story about Sasha a young woman who lives in Russia and her boyfriend Aleksi has changed over the last 2 years as he joined the Russian Mob.

Adrian and Pierce fly to Russia and get Sasha out, they spend one special night together, marry and then try to avoid one another knowing the marriage is fake. One big problem is they are hiding their true feelings and not admitting them! Aleksi will not let Sasha go that easily and comes after her causing issues and Pierce does what any husband would do...protect those he loves.

Sasha and Pierce have instant attraction but, they try to deny it because of Adrian, Sasha's brother and Pierce's best friend and business partner forbids a relationship. As Sasha's ex Russian Mafia boyfriend hunts her down Pierce tries to help protect her. They give in to the attraction and burn up the sheets...several times. Naturally, Pierce keeps messing up with Sasha with the whole hot/cold reactions and that causes problems. And, with everything else going on with the Russian mob the drama is continual. This is a good story with two people coming to terms with what their future might hold if they just have a bit of trust and faith that they will survive the danger they face.

Sasha lives in Russia and has been dating someone in the Russian mob. She wants out but her boyfriend doesn't agree. She's threatened and her brother, who lives in the US, wants to bring her there. She can't legally live in the US until her brother's best friend agrees to marry her. It supposed to be fake, but they're attracted to each other. They fight it but things get hot and heavy. Her brother finds out and is furious but they still can't stay away from each other. What are they going to do, especially now that her ex-boyfriend has shown up in the US?

Sasha is breaking up with her boyfriend as she no longer loves him and he has changed. Alexi works in the Russian mob and he will never let Sasha go. Sasha contacts her brother Adrian who lives in New York City. His friend Pierce is there and hears the conversation. After that Adrian would like Pierce to fake marry his sister so they can bring her over from Russia. No problem getting her, but Alexi follows them later to America. Pierce and Sasha feel something for each other and have some steamy sex and then debate about the relationship. This does have a very happy ending.

When Sasha is threatened by the Russian mob, Adrian does what any brother would do. Pierce is willing to help his best friend protect his sister. Once he meets Sasha, Pierce realizes that he may want more than to just protect her. Of course the mob doesn't give up easily. Will Pierce be able to keep Sasha safe? Will the two find a HEA? I'm not telling but I will say that this is one of my favorites by Ms. Black.

Very good romantic suspense. Sasha fell for a man who got deeply involved with the Russian mafia. She wanted to leave Russia. Pierce is Sasha's brothers best friend and agrees to marry her so she can stay in the U.S. Unfortunately, things change and danger comes for them. The story line is good although there were a few areas that were unclear. There is drama, intrigue mixed in with the suspense and romance. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Black.

Sasha decided to make changes in her life and that includes breaking up with her boyfriend who has changed and gotten involved with the mob. What should have been a simple break up, turns into her life being in danger. Her brother sets in plan in motion that will change everything. Pierce was intrigued with Sasha and out of respect for his friend and business partner Adrian he does what he can to make sure she remains safe. What Pierce didn’t count was the instant attraction and connection, which makes protecting her and keeping her safe a little complicated.

She is in Russia with a Russian boyfriend. He has put himself into the Russian mob in the last couple of years. She knows it is not safe and breaks it off. But that puts her in a lot of danger. Her brother and his best friend come over to get her. As a favor his brothers best friend marries her. What starts out as fake becomes a lot more intense. But is it too late? Can he protect her now? It is exciting, dramatic, emotional, suspenseful and so much more. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.

If you're looking for a hot and steamy release you have found it in Protecting Sasha. You will love her characters Pierce, Adrian and Sasha. Sasha gets herself in a huge mess not to mention dangerous. Sasha brother Adrian comes running to help his sister but not without his best friend Pierce. Pierce became her protector the minute he laid eyes on her and the steam and foggy windows begin. I don't want to give things away but reading this will not be a waste of time. I look forward to reading more from Natasha L. Black

Another great read by Natasha. Sasha has finally stirred up the courage to break up with her abusive Russian mob boyfriend. It isn't safe for her in Russia so her brother makes a request of his best friend to fake marry her to get her to New York. This book has suspense, adventure and romance. I would recommend it to anyone over 18 due to steaminess. I received this ARC in exchange for a voluntary honest review which I have freely written here

This one was a fast pace, nail biting adventure that took Pierce and Sasha on a discovery like no other. They had to learn the hard way how love can truly come out of what they were thrown into. Mob, fake marriage and finally love. The one good thing was that it all turned out for the best.  Adrian now needs his story told. I give it 5 stars.

Sasha is getting married. A fake marriage with her brother's best friend Pierce so she can leave Russia and move to New York. Her eks. Was involved in the mafia and when she left him he threatened her family and her. Now she only has one wish to start over and keep everyone safe. A great book and a great storyline. Existing from the beginning till the end. Sweet and romantic and I really enjoyed it

There are lots of good points to this book but I will admit I almost didnt read it cause the story starts out really slow. Sasha gets herself into all kinds of trouble only to gain a protector in her brother's best friend Pierce. Not to mention that in order to protect her Pierce has to marry her. SO not only do the readers get the joy of a russian mob romance, mixed with a brother's best friend romance, but that of a fake marriage!!!!!

I really wanted to love it

Based on the blurb, this book sounded right up my alley. Unfortunately that was not the case. I found Sasha to be immature and whiny. If you are being chased by the Russian mob, why are you out running errands by yourself?? I didn’t believe that Pierce and Adrian could protect Sasha from a squirrel let alone mobsters. Honestly, I only made it about two thirds of the way through before I just got too frustrated with the characters.

As a favor to his best friend, Pierce marries Sasha so she can be safe in the US and protected from the Russian Mom. Sparks fly between them, could this turn into something more or will the Russian mob track them down? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and suspense. The chemistry is steamy and the story entertaining. I liked it.

Wow, where to start, this story has so many things going for it! I loved it. The whole suspense waiting for the revenge to fall from the Russian mob, the insta love between Sasha and Pierce at completely the wrong time, the whole best friend's little sister…. It's a roller coaster of emotion and suspense with never a dull moment. Loved it

Sasha tried to break up with her boyfriend who is a leader in the Russian mob, when he threatens her that she can’t leave. Her brother makes a plan that she can pretend marry his friend pierce and come to the United States and hide. The story was good but it could have been so much better it felt rushed and hard to believe.

The Russian mob is after Sasha who is fleeing her ex. Some parts were hard to believe and a bit choppy.

This book has suspense, action filled, twists and turns, drama and steamy scenes. It has a really great story plot with likable characters. Sasha and Pierce have insane chemistry. Pierce is Sasha’s older brother’s Adrian, best friend. Pierce agrees to fake marry Sasha, to get her out of Russia. Sasha’s boyfriend is in the Russian mob. But once they meet they can’t keep their hands off each other. Absolutely love this nook. I volunteered to review a copy of this book for an honest review.
