As the ruthless leader of my family there is a certain standard of brutality I have to uphold. To be gentle or kind is a weakness I cannot afford. That is until the day I meet her. Beautiful, innocent, and so very afraid. Valentina is a rival family's daughter, and the little temptress has purposely tangled herself in my dark web. She seeks me out, needing my help, but the price for what she wants will be steep. Since my father’s death I’ve needed a wife to solidify my family name and this woman has piqued my interest. We strike a deal intertwining our futures. I’ll put a ring on her finger, own her body, keep her safe, and kill them all. I make a vow to protect her at all costs. That is until her secrets come to light, and I’m left with the choice of becoming the monster she’s only ever heard rumors about.   *This is a dark forced marriage mafia romance, that ends on a cliffhanger. It contains dub-con/non-con as well as other scenes that may be triggering to some readers.*     About JL Beck: J.L. Beck loves good books, wine, and coffee.

My Review
5 Stars
Vow to Protect by J.L. Beck and Monica Corwin starts the Duet of the story of Valentina 'Val' Novak and Aidrian Doubek.
Aidrian is a very dark man who softens to no one but when he sees Valentina he feels something move inside him. Aidrian's attraction is immediate and demanding so he must have her. Valentina has an abusive father who has promised her to Sal a man just as bad if not worse than her father. Sal isn't allow to touch her intimately but he sure does abuse her physically and mentally. Valentina only friend and comfort is her cousin Rose who she learns has been abused more by Sal than her. This leads her to ask for Aidrian's help in getting read of him but Aidrian will do it at a cost...having her. This book does end setting us up for the next installment in their story. I can't wait for it!! Loved the start to this Duet.
