Book Synopsis:
"Book one of NOLA Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spinoff series by Men of Haven author Rhenna Morgan
His world. His rules. Her love.
Though his methods may be rough, when it comes to protecting what’s his, Russian vor Sergei Petrovyh’s heart is always in the right place. That’s never been truer than when the gorgeous Evette Labadie asks him for a job. He knows enough to keep his hands off someone as beloved by the locals as Evie, but there’s something about her that calls to him—no matter how badly he burns to make her his.
Don’t think Evie hasn’t noticed the powerful Russian mafia boss who makes her favorite diner a regular stop. How can she not? He’s as hot as his reputation is dangerous. But everyone in her struggling New Orleans neighborhood knows he’s the man to turn to. And right now she needs money to get her son out of trouble.
Her other needs—needs she knows damn well Sergei can more than satisfy—will have to wait.
Evie soon finds herself playing Cinderella to a man who, despite what people believe, is definitely more prince than a villain. She can’t help falling deeper in love with each passing day. But when a turf war between Sergei and a rival brings violence to her doorstep, Evie must come to grips with loving a man who will do anything to defend her…or walk away from her best chance at a happily-ever-after of her very own."

Review:
"His To Defend" by Rhenna Morgan
"His world. His rules. Her love" is what "His to Defend" was all about. I thought this was quite a beautifully well-written story that his author gives the reader that will keep you turning the pages to see what was coming next. What will happen when Evette Labadie asks Russian vor Sergei Petrovyh [Russian Mob Boss] for a job? Truly Evette's life will change quite a bit for her and her son Emerson. This story was well put together as the reader will see how Sergei and Evette come together. Why did Sergei feel that he must protect Evette ad her son Emerson?
The 'alpha take charge' person that Sergei was really showed how much he wanted to take care of Evette and her son. It will be a good story of seeing just what all Sergei would do in protecting the ones he loves.
I loved how well Evette was the type of person who was 'single, strong-minded, and quite sassy' who gave much thought of her life and her son Emerson, especially after she had gone through quite a battle with her life after the death of her mom. But after starting to work for Sergei would she be able to avoid the temptations that he so readily offers? Want will happen as Evette begins to trust and understand Sergie's world that he presents to her? I will say that I did enjoy several of the characters... Dorothy, Tony, Reggie, Kir, Roman, Darya and Knox and a few others all that added to the story.
The ending was quite wrapped up nicely as Sergei will do as he said and that was to protect those he loved. I will stop there and say if you enjoy a good romance you will need to pick up "His To Defend" and see for yourself how well this author brings this story out so well for the reader.
