Wait until I tell him about our baby...

This is the third and final instalment in the excellent Vassiliev Bratva, Russian Mafia Romance books, and it does not disappoint.
Both Naomi and Roman are betrayed by those closest to them. Can Naomi prove to Roman that she really has fallen in love with him and manage to save the day or will Roman destroy everything, including himself, whilst seeking revenge?
This fast paced book had me sitting on the edge of my seat, I have never read so fast! There was so much anger, betrayal, suspense and emotion that I was in tears towards the end as I tried to work out who the enemies were and how this fantastic story would end. The author sure knows how to write a good dark mafia romance. The first two books do end on a cliff-hanger however, the whole series is now available - I would not hesitate to recommend this trilogy and I loved how this ended.
I was fortunate enough to receive an arc of this book, and this is my honest review.

Naomi takes the bullet meant for Roman in her chest. She survives but is unsure of what will happen next. She is confused by her feelings for Roman. She is also starting to think that Douglas knows more than he is telling her about her parents’ deaths and Conor’s disappearance.
Who in Roman’s inner circle is really the one giving orders? Who wanted Roman’s parents and uncle dead? Will Roman believe Naomi when she tells him what she discovered? Will Naomi ever find out if Conor is still alive?
I was shocked at how the series ended. It was awesome.

misleading !!
“I betrayed him, sold him out, tried to kill him.
He just smirked, pulled me on his lap, and kissed me.” This was the phrase that made me want to read this book and it doesn’t happen!! When he finally does find out more then halfway in the last book he chokes her , curses her and locks her in the room .. nothing like that that phrase the author used to convince people to read the book . I fell for it but this was the first and last series I’ll ever read again from this author, I am not found of misleading descriptions.

I love a strong FMC
I honestly do not understand why Lisa Lovell feels the need to have three books per story —it is ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY!
If I did not have kindle unlimited, I probably would not read her books even though I enjoy them.
That being said, I loved this book, because I loved how the FMC and MCC were equals.
The spineless blushing virgin FMC in most mafia books is often boring/frustrating.
While some of the plot was predictable—enough suspense to make it worthy.

Such a great trilogy! I fell in love with Roman and Naomi.
This was the tie up for the trilogy, with so much hanging over Naomi's head, Roman was going to know the truth sooner or later.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series of books. The story was full of danger, drama and full on intensity that you get with a Mafia story. The characters were flawed but loveable and the plot was fast paced. Such a great ending!!
This was an ARC and this is my honest review.

In this wrap-up of the series, we have Naomi recovering from a serious gunshot wound received from protecting Roman. Could he still doubt her? When Naomi confronts her handler, she learns her 'Papa Bear' was responsible for her parents' deaths and that he has been working with an insider in the Bratva family. She has to attempt to save Roman, who has gone alone to a remote meeting place to give himself up to save Naomi and Katya. Excellent ending!

This is the highly emotional and dramatic conclusion to the romance between Naomi and Roman. The book is full of love, chemistry, steamy hot scenes and heart pumping action. There are enough betrayals, secrets and surprises in this book to keep you riveted right to the perfect ending. I really loved Naomi and Roman’s romance. I received an ARC for an honest review.

Naomi and Roman's story concludes in this edition of the series. It was a thrilling ride for them and I enjoyed every part of it. Their world was well written by the author and I adored it. She is an expert at writing dark romance in my opinion.
I received a complimentary copy of this story and I freely left this story.

could’ve all been one book
I’m glad this was kindle unlimited bc if I had to pay for all 3 books I would’ve been upset. The characters and story were all pretty good and I enjoyed them, reading the books quickly, but this all could have been ONE book- not three. Which is why I gave it 3 stars and not 4 or 5.

Repetitive
Enjoyed the fight scenes with descriptions of Naomi's skill. Love reading about aggressive women who step up and fight for and along side their men.
Continues story from book two but becomes repetitive with Roman's injury. Story flows and is interesting eighty percent of the time. Did not really
need to be three books.

This whole series could have been just one book.
I enjoyed these books but they were a little too forgettable.
Despite these being three different books, the key scenes were always rushed. Something important happens and then two pages later it's over. Everything was solved too easily and the characters' backstory felt flat and fake, it lacked depth.
On the one hand, it was a good book to pass the time, as It did keep my attention until the very end, but on the other, the plot and character development could have been better.
3.5/5

Oh my word!….5+ Stars!
The conclusion to this Bratva trilogy is amazing! Roman and Naomi’s “unplanned” love story is one of the best I’ve ever read. Who would have thought a young and beautiful assasin would fall for her assigned mark, the ruthless and handsome Bratva Pakhan! The twisted villain in this tale is one I never, ever suspected. I loved it!

Oh my stars! Loved the conclusion that has spin off possibilities I’m super anxious for! Great story until the very end! Such a quick read but honestly you didn’t want it to be that quick. I wanted more bec it was so good!!!

I didn’t not like the series but found it just too predictable. I had most of the “big reveal” at the end of this book figured out during book 1. Overall it was a well written book but for me it fell flat when I felt like I knew what was happening before it did. I was given an ARC copy.
April 12, 2023
WOW
I read all 3 books in this series in a day because I couldn’t put them down. To say I was hooked is an understatement. The story is one that shows love is the bottom line. I am pleased with the result.

Last book in this series did not disappoint. I had an idea Douglas was behind killing Naomi Father and was proved right. I also thought the aunt was up to something due to Kitty being the way she was. Lovely HEA ending. Going to read more of Lisa's books ❤️

Hurt, grief, and happiness
Roman found out the truth, but there was more he was not prepared for. Naomi accepted the truth regarding her feelings. She also found the truth about her past
The ending was not a surprise. I'm disappointed not knowing the full story about her brother.

Finally the secrets and lies are revealed.
Naomi always thought that she was fighting the good fight. Wait until you see what happens when she finds out it was all a lie and she's been working for the enemy all along.

Book three of the Bratva love…
They’ve been through hell but will they find their happy ending? Odds are against them; forces fight them. Treachery abounds.

This three story book was almost too good. Strong characters, great story line with plenty loving and mystery. Another story to reread.
