Five years ago, I ran from the devil who got me pregnant.

I have a son now. A boy I'd do anything to protect.

But I left behind the sister I loved more than life itself.

So when Ilarion Zakharov finds me again, I have an impossible choice to make: Do I go back with him to the world I left behind? Or do I leave my sister to drown in the mess I caused?

Ilarion doesn't make choosing easy.

With every touch, every kiss, every searing look from those blue eyes, he reminds me of the truth: I love him. I'll always love him. I can't help but love him.

Even if loving him costs me everything.

Diamond Angel is book two of the Zakharov Bratva duet. This is a light mafia contemporary romance with no cheating and an HEA.

I enjoyed the storyline, but it was really drawn out. It was starting to get depressing and frustrating, it was so drawn out.

Long to conclusion

Honestly I like book 1 than 2.. I thought this one was a waste of credit..FMC was weak in book 1 and continued being weak in 2 it's like she has no sense whatsoever...While this book was a good listen it could have been better I skip most of the audio...

Too much going around corners

I loved the narrators and their voices. I was not as impressed by the main female character. She kept being weak and going round and round with her feelings. I just wanted her to get a back bone and wake up. I had a hard time finishing this book because of her.

Performance Great MFC weak

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ilarion Zakharov is dangerous in all the ways that ruin you just right. He’s not soft, he’s not safe, and that’s exactly why I couldn’t look away. And Taylor? She’s a mother first, a fighter second, and a mess of loyalty and regret tangled up in one bleeding heart. I loved her. I yelled at her. I rooted for her even when I wanted to shake her.

This book has teeth—it’s got stakes, real consequences, and a love story that’s more battlefield than fairytale. The family trauma, the impossible choices, the emotional wreckage—it lands. You feel it in your gut.

Why not five stars? Honestly, the middle dragged a bit. Some scenes overstayed their welcome, and I found myself itching for the plot to stop circling the same emotional drain and just move. But when it did? Whew. It hits like a freight train made of feelings and fury.

Still, the ending delivers. The emotions pay off. The tension never really lets go. And if you like your romance bruised, blistered, and begging for redemption, Diamond Angel is worth the bruises.

Bonus Thoughts – Mila & Celine Deserve Their Flowers Too

Mila’s arc quietly stole a piece of my heart. Watching her wrestle with the pain of her past—the trauma, the shame, the fear of being too broken—and then slowly, bravely choosing to let someone in? That hit deep. She didn’t just survive—she softened without shattering, and that kind of healing is its own love story.

And Celine? Whew. Her journey is a reminder that sometimes, the person you thought you loved was really just someone who helped you survive the version of yourself you used to be. Letting go if what you thought was love wasn’t weakness—it was clarity. And when Ashton walked in? She knew. That’s the kind of love that doesn’t whisper—it knocks you clean off your feet. No bitterness. Just truth, and a new beginning.

For a mafia story, this is the best!
The characters are complex, yet clearly defined. Apparent author's faux pau's are in fact, not at all. They are gems that help keep the reader involved.
Don't miss this one!

Great monologues
