3.5 stars :0) Nikolai is my favorite out of the group so I had high expectations for his story; however, it fell a bit short for me. Nikolai was supposed to be the baddest of the group yet his alpha-ness just didn't shine through as much as I would think his character needs. So that's a bust, but again, he's my favorite so I still enjoyed the story. I mean, it's Nikolai!
