About this item

I never asked for an assistant, and if I had, I sure as hell wouldn't have chosen her.
With her sharp tongue and lack of discipline, what she needs is a firm hand, not a job.
The more she tests my limits, the more tempted I am to bend her over my knee.

As a Russian Mafia boss, I can't afford distractions... or secrets.
And I suspect my innocent new assistant is hiding something.
But I know just how to get to the truth.

It's high time she understands who holds the power in our relationship.
So I'll keep her close, controlling her every move.
But I am no longer after information—I want her mind, body and soul.
She underestimated the stakes of our dangerous game and now owes a heavy price.
She's mine now.
Mine.

Sweet Animosity continues the steamy, enemies to lovers' drama featuring the domineering Russian Mafia men of Zoe's Ruthless Obsession series. Scroll up and one click now.

Publisher's Note: This is the eighth novel, and part of a new trilogy, in Zoe Blake's Ruthless Obsession series. It is a standalone that contains adult themes. Please refrain from purchasing if such content is not to your liking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, love, love!

This was so good! I loved that Vivian was different from the other books of the past and pushed back from Var's methods to keep her. I've loved all the books in the Ruthless Obsession series, and this was a refreshing change. It was also fun to have a heroine so could totally be bought by fancy dresses and shoes! Var is OTT obsessive and everything you'd expect from a Zoe Blake hero (if you can call him that ????). This is a dark romance, and as long as you can handle that, this book is a fun ride!

This book caught me from the very beginning. I could not put it done except from the threat of my eyes closing from sleep. But I picked it right back up when I woke up. Vivian is a forger and has gotten herself into a terrible situation with the Russian Mafia. Not only has Var found the one that has been causing all the trouble in the art world he has also found the one that completes him. Now if he can only convince her how much she needs him to protect her. Loved this book

I haven’t laughed out loud so much in a long time! I even read parts out loud to my husband because they were so funny! Vivian and Var's constant sparing and sexual tension guides the story of an art forger who gets into deep trouble with the mafia. Vivian has no desire to be in a relationship especially with a mobster like Var, while Var has not found any reason to keep a woman around for more than a one night stand; however, when fate intervenes and she falls and lands literally in his arms, he's determined never to let her go.

With suspense, touch her and become unalive energy and a billionaire Russian mafia MC, this was a sexy and fun read. Highly recommend!

Well written book. Spice is 10/5 stars. Var is definitely OTT possessive and obsessed with Vivian but it's perfect. The banter between all the characters is amazing. I highlighted so many things. Vivian at times seems so naive that you question her intelligence, but it works with the story. Adding a forced marriage just increased the deliciousness of the story.
I'm very picky about good grammar, good details, and good characters and this book delivered. I wish the cover was better but that's my only thing. Going in my pile to re-read a few times.

It was great with the storyline and action to smut.. Definitely too noncon for me to read more. Overall the writing was amazing, up until the wedding, definitely too much for me to stomach. Everyone’s different though, just not my cup to f tea towards the ending. Up until that point seriously AMAZING

5.0 out of 5 stars One of THE best in the entire series!

The banter in this book was next level and, even though he quite literally refused to take “no” for an answer on more than one occasion - which did give me the ick - I did love Var. A lot. I liked Vivian but it ended there. Most of the book was her doing stupid things and them arguing/having hate sex. I guess I was looking for more drama offered up in previous books from this series. Nevertheless, I binged this book in just a few hours. Love Zoe’s work and can’t wait for what she does next!
