The Arrangement took me by surprise. This book, the first in a trilogy with our hero and heroine at its heart, sets up the story of Anton and Vine. It is a well-developed suspense story diving into the underbelly of mob life, pitting members of the Cosa Nostra against the powerful Russian mob. Essentially, the story deals with a betrothal between the daughter of the Don, and the heir to Russian mob throne. The future bride, Vine, is in danger, and the groom, Anton, races to her rescue in an unusual fashion-- he kidnaps her. The story took a twist when I realized that these two had had a relationship years ago, one that had stayed with them both. The sex is hot,and the story sizzles. There are more than enough erotic moments to satisfy,and watching sexual attraction grow into lasting love amidst the violence of the crime world, kept me glued to the book. Ms. Kris has a strong voice and a great writing style. I felt as if I was part of the action. The ending is really the beginning for Anton and Vine and I can't wait to read what happens to them in the living on the cutting edge of the law. I'm sure The Life, book two in the series will be as exciting and full of suspense as book one. I can't wait to see how things turn out for Vine and Anton--happy for now? Yes, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?
