Sweet Silver Belle – Billie Nicks

4 stars

You know….there are worse things that could happen than my very hot, tattooed Russian best friend being a Bratva Prince and completely obsessed with me. And when said sexy tattooed Bratva Prince best friend saves me from a toxic/abusive marriage and claims me for his own? Well…he may as well have hung the moon.

I am an absolute sucker for dark men with the touch-her-and-die vibe, and when they give the “I’d give her the world if she asked for it” line, I practically melt into a puddle. Then you add primal to it, a kink very much underrepresented, I think, and I’m a goner! It’s things like this that have ruined me for a regular man 😂

I do wish this story was longer, only because I really wanted to see more of Dmitri and Belle’s friendship. They’re so good together, and I’d have loved to read more about how they got so close and how their friendship developed after they met at the coffee shop. I’m really curious about their time at Harvard also, presuming that Dmitri also went there.

For such a pretty cover, Sweet Silver Belle is delightfully dark and hit all the best notes: dangerously filthy tattooed Russian man, horrible people who get exactly what they deserve, great spicy scenes, and a happily-ever-after. What more could you want?
