Description
Viktor Sokolov doesn’t know if he should make love to his beautiful new wife… or kill her. Growing up with a father who held a high position in the Russian mob, Alexandra Volkin was thrilled when her parents signed a contract promising her to a Russian mob boss, even though she’d never met him. All she’d ever wanted was to be the powerful woman of a man everyone respected. So, when her intended is murdered and she is promised to another, Alexandra is nearly unfazed. One mob boss is as good as another. Besides, she can’t deny the strong attraction she feels for Viktor. Alexandra learned at a young age that sex equals power, and she’s about to exert a heavy dose of power on her new, coldly distant husband. It’s not long, though, before she learns Viktor believes her father murdered his own.
Through a dark twist of fate, Viktor marries the woman intended for his murdered father—and his lovely bride’s own father is the likely murderer. As the saying goes, though, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. It’s not so big a sacrifice when your enemy is your sexy new wife. Viktor doesn’t have the stomach for the brutal violence his father exacted on his enemies, but it’s almost a certainty that his wife’s father killed his own father, and that leaves him with little choice. Yet, while he can ignore his pretty wife’s pleas, and her insistence that her father is innocent… ignoring how she makes him feel is a whole different challenge.
There isn’t a going to be a happily ever after for the two of them. Unless, that is, she can prove her father’s innocence.
Marketing Plan
Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.
The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.
Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.

Viktor Sokolov marries the woman who was destined to marry his father. Alexandra Volkin must prove she had nothing to do his father's death while falling in love with her husband. Good story to keep the pages turning. New series for the Sokolov brothers starts in this book.
Ebook from net galley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

5 stars for Married to the Russian Kingpin by Leslie North
ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
These opinions are my own!
Loved this book - great story quick read !!
Who knew how much I would ❤️❤️❤️ Leslie North’s Russian mobsters as much as her Sheikhs!!!
Alexandra is set to marry into the Russian mob when she finds out on her wedding day her intended husband Boris Sokolov has been murdered ... his son Victor decides she will then become his wife.
Alex goes into the marriage wholeheartedly & she is very attracted to Victor. Her sweetness - innocence - beauty & kindness - but also her strength draws Victor in until he is given news that it is possible Alex’s father had something to do with his own father’s death...
I read this book in one sitting - fully entertained by the storyline - loved these characters - great read & can’t wait to read the others in the series !!

This is a strong and well written book. When you think of a Mob book this one fits that to a T.
Written in blood and betrayal it takes you on a twisted journey as you follow the couple from start to finish. It was an awesome intro into the series and I am looking forward to reading more from this author and about the brothers in the series.
