FBI agent Dani (h) is tasked with gathering intel on Luka (H), one of the Antonov Bratva brothers. It’s not exactly an easy task given Luka’s careful lifestyle designed to minimize anyone being able to track him since he’s a computer expert for his brothers and understands how to keep his tracks covered. Dani ends up getting close to Luka, with things heating up between the two even when ensconces him in a safe house to keep him safe from his family’s enemies. But things take a dangerous turn when the pair are captured, and Dani’s life is in danger unless Luka complies with his enemies’ demands to help bring his own family down. Ultra-hot and steamy Bratva romance with plenty of violence and danger. Loved that Dani was a smart, strong woman capable of thinking things through and using her own strengths to help save herself and Luka.

[Holly Rife · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been looking forward to Luka's story and I was not disappointed at all. In fact I am quite pleased!! Dani is devoted, strong as nails, and caring beyond reason. She's the perfect person for Luka - driven by the need to take care of his family, but drifting in this sea we call life. Together, they ignite and it's remarkable!!! Their chemistry is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and their strength is beyond measure.

This series… I am not new to Bratva romances and this series is one of my faves… The complexity, the suspense, the angst, the wit. I am *all in*. If you don't read the other books first, I think some of the story may be lost in translation. I highly recommend reading them first.

If you are looking for a mafia series, I highly suggest you stop here and start reading. You won't be sorry!!!

[Barbara Atkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book deserves more than 5 stars. I was in the edge of my seat the entire ride. I could not wait to find out what happens next. The love between Dani and Luka is swoon worthy. There is danger, treason, alpha hot protective males, criminals, steam, and off the charts chemistry. Just wait until you find out the baby’s name.
The two main characters are Luka and Dani. Luka is the tech guy at Cyberfrost security and one of the Antonov Bratva. Dani is the FBI agent whose job it is to find out more information about the Antonovs’. This is an unlikely pair however all they go through only brings them closer and they can’t ignore the passion and chemistry flowing between them. A definite must read.

He finally finds something he can't crack....her!

Knocked Up by the Bratva is the fourth book in the Bratva Billionaires Series and is the story of Daniella Harper and Luka Antonov. Dani is an FBI agent who is on an assignment that turns out to be Luka. Luka is a tech genius, who also just so happens to be a first rate hacker, who ends up finding a woman he cannot crack. This is a very entertaining and absorbing story with two very charming characters that are on opposite sides until they find the bridge that brings them together.

This story was a charming tale about people from two different worlds, and how they overcome. The story was sweet and suspenseful, with just a bit of spice. I loved seeing how Luka and Dani pushed through their differences and got together. And the baby’s name at the end was just perfect!.

“Rodstvennyye dushi”… Soul Mates

We’ve all been impatiently waiting for Luka Antonov’s story. The youngest of the Antonov brothers, Luka is the technological wizard of CyberFort. He is a computer geek and hacker extraordinaire and he’s about to meet a challenge to his personal and professional security - Daniella Harper. Crowne delivers another action packed Mafia romance between the Antonov brother who lives like a ghost and a formidable FBI agent. To fully appreciate the adversaries they face in this novel, a brief recap is necessary. If you have read the previous 3 books then skip the recap.
[RECAP: In book 1 Mikhail returns to Russia to counteract his uncle Konstantin’s threats and to retrieve his father Lev from a remote Siberian bunker. In book 2, Edvard Levitsky, the head of an old rival family is threatening Dimitri by using a female assassin. Book 3 relates the arranged marriage of Pyotr to Viola Solkov’s (head of the Solkovs) daughter. All three heads have been imprisoned in Russia’s “Pit” - an apparently inescapable prison. The Antonovs goal is to move all Bratva business underground and keep it separate from their legitimate cybersecurity firm, CyberFort.]

There is an overriding theme for all 4 books, and that is the importance of family and the fierce loyalty they all share. In this novel, Luka acquiesces to Dimitri’s request to uncover what information the FBI has on them. Luka makes the decision in order to protect his brothers, their wives and his nieces and nephews. Daniella is striving for promotions and increased pay to improve the living conditions for her wheelchair-bound sister, Tabitha…after the death of her parents. And we will also learn what another special agent will do for their family.
Crowne gives us a sizzling romance ❤️‍🔥 between two individuals who are highly intelligent and whose professional goals are compromised by Russian villains. As Dani tries to uncover CyberFort’s laundering operations for the Antonov Bratva and Luka’s thwarting her efforts, they become ensnared by close proximity and unrelenting attraction. Read how their families “circle the wagon” to protect those they love. Who doesn’t enjoy “love conquers all” and villains receiving their comeuppance. Wait! Can you believe there’s a book 5 featuring Luka’s brother! Who the heck is he, Crowne! Ugh 😩

Luka may be my favorite brother of this group so far. He's a computer whiz who handles the IT for his family's computer company. But the FBI is looking to arrest his family for their Bratva connections. Enter Dani - FBI special agent in charge of this operation.

When a member of her team F's up the mission to get a look at Luka, Dani has to step into action and save the day. Literally bump into Luka to make sure he doesn't get the broach stolen from her other agent. She doesn't know that he already knows who she is. Getting the broach was the best way Luka knew to smoke her out.

She gave him a fake name - Willow. But you could tell immediately that the attraction was going to go well beyond her mission.

Luka and Dani continue to play a cat and mouse game with each other until he is stabbed. She protects him and blows her cover as a FBI agent. The Trinity is after Luka to take back the money his brother's stole from them. When he is kidnapped by the Trinity to get their money back, they take Dani as leverage. They also know Luka and Dani have feelings for each other. Heck, everyone can see it.

The way Luka protects Dani while she is held captive is so loving. Letting her go to save her from the Trinity's wrath was the hardest thing he could do. Telling her he loved her was even harder to let her go.

So much happens in this story. It will give you whiplash over and over again. I love Luka (if you couldn't tell). His love for Dani and her subsequent love back was so much fun to read. You will enjoy this book so much. Then you will want to go back to read the other books and agree with me - Luka is so lovable!.

5 stars +++ Best Yet! Fantastic unlikely romance
I LOVE THIS ENTIRE SERIES. I love the Antonov brothers. I loved the other stories but this is my favorite. Luka is the tech genius for CyberFort Security and now that the brothers were forced back into the Bratva, Luka handles all of the Antonov Bratva Family tech business. Night owl Luka loves to hide in his computer room full of tech equipment. He does not socialize well and he wants to stay out of the government’s radar. Luka wants to be legit and not have anything to do with the Bratva but he loves his brothers so he helps them.
FBI Agent Dani Harper is in charge of her first case and it involves going after Luka. When these two have their first run-in, literally, there is attraction. Luka knows who she is so he plays along with her subterfuge. Dani and Luka’s “cat and mouse” exchange suddenly gets deadly serious when three evil Bratva leaders break out of their Russian prison and kidnap them. Luka is being forced to drain the Antonov funds into these old mobsters’ accounts. Luka and Dani are treated horribly in their underground prison, in fact, Luka almost dies but their relationship grows closer…into love. Brothers, Mikhail, Dimitri, and Pyotr work closely with Dani to rescue Luka. This is a heart-stopping story. Luka is wonderful, Dani is awesome and I love Dani’s younger sister Tabitha. I highly recommend this story. The ending is so wonderful! I received a free advanced copy of this story from Booksprout and these are my thoughts. Linda

The Thin Line Between Good and Bad -
Dani was an FBI agent tasked to bring down the Antonov brother using Luka, but what she didn’t know was that he had already discovered her undercover operations from the get go and decided to use her to his advantage. Unfortunately, during the time they were spending together, they run into a situation, that not only led them on a very dangerous journey, but also helped the authorities uncover corruption within the office.

Their time in captivity helped them finally acknowledge their feelings for each other, but a difficult decision made by Dani after the rescue, broke up their budding relationship and nearly cost them their forever happiness together. As luck would have it, Luka’s curiosity led him to discover a piece of information that gave him the courage to fight for a happily ever after with Dani.

I have really enjoyed reading book three of the Bratva Billionaires Series, as I found myself glued to the pages from the beginning. However, there should be a warning include at the beginning of book one, because once you read the first one, you will find yourself clicking on the buy now button for the rest on the series. All I can say at this point is K.C. Crowne, you have done it again and I am now looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is the 4th book in the series and this book features the techy, night owl youngest brother Luka.

The FBI have set their sites on the Antonov brothers and Luca is the most reclusive of them all. Dani is an FBI agent and is given the task of finding out more information about Luka. Unknown to her though, Luka is already aware that the FBI are looking into him and his brothers and he knows that Dani is heading up the task force.
Dani's plan to find out more about Luka doesn't get off to the best start, but as he is intrigued with her, this makes her getting closer to him easier. But when someone decides to attack Luka while out in public, Dani exposes herself as an officer of the law and is surprised that Luka knew, especially as they had been getting so flirty with each other.
Luka ends up being arrested by Dani, she agrees to keep him safe if he gives her information on his brothers. He wont give up his brothers but he offers information about the 3 old heads of the Bratva that seem to be the ones hunting him. But what happens when they end up finding him and using Dani as leverage so that he will help them. Will they be able to escape their captors and if they can, is there any way they can have a future together.

I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend reading it.

Knocked Up by the Bratva book four of the Bratva Billionnaire Series this is Luka’s story. Luka is the computer whiz that has saved the Antonov brothers, their family Bratva and the quiet brother that rarely showed himself to the outside world; he was always available at the drop of a hat to his brothers for cybersecurity, money laundering, off shore banking or whatever was needed to keep everything and the four of them and their families afloat and safe. Luka hates the Bratva and never wants to be a part of it other than behind the scenes but, he loves his brothers so he continues to do his part up until he comes face to face with Daniella Harper the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. Luka knows right away that Dani is FBI and has been assigned with rounding up and bringing in, breaking up the Antonov Bratva all four of the brothers, she is starting with Luka due to his cyber savy and intelligence. Luka and Dani are both very strong willed, driven with neither one afraid of doing what ever they have to do to protect those they care so much about. This will have you sitting on the edge of your chair for the majority of the story. All kinds of feelings going on with you the reader. A fantastic series. I highly recommend. A Must Read! I’m looking forward to the next book. Andrei’s story book five, another brother!! Whoa. Can’t wait. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow! Just wow! This book sure delivers on a hot, steamy romance. It also gives readers a whole lot of unexpected twists and thrilling suspense. Daniella (Dani) is an FBI agent assigned to take Luka and his brothers down. She has no idea that Luka knows who she is and has decided to play with her. He intends to draw her close, distract her and misdirect her investigation. Their cat and mouse game is entertaining until a few dangerous twists put both of their lives in danger. Close proximity and stress make it impossible to ignore the attraction between them, and their supernova chemistry takes things into a very steamy and very intimate direction. With the enemies of Luka’s family out for blood and revenge, and a traitor causing havoc, will Dani and Luka be able to survive? Will those deeper emotions they are both feeling change the outcome of Dani’s case? Loyalty, honour and integrity weigh heavily on both their minds as they make decisions that could affect any future they may hope to have together. Will they fight for their love?

I loved both of these far too smart and stubborn characters. The storyline was easy to immerse myself in and absolutely gripping. I eagerly await the next book in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This contemporary dark mafia Bratva romance is page-turning with exceptional characters and world-building. Their journey is enthralling with an explicit romance that is consumed by steamy passion, lust, desire, and fiery spice with all the feelings, romantic suspense, Bratva dark romance, an unexpected pregnancy, an alpha bad boy billionaire, unexpected twists and turns, heartfelt emotions, dangerous world, drama, and more. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her reader's hearts and attention with being knocked up by the Bratva and an enemies-to-lovers explicit romance that will have readers begging for more.
It started with the FBI case of a lifetime...

And ended with his baby in my belly.



Luka Antonov may be a man of mystery, but one thing's for sure:

He's more dangerous than his reputation.

When stakes are high failure can be no option.

So I romance him undercover.

Pretending I'm his...

Until my desire is far from pretend.



Now I'm left with three very unsettling realizations.

1. Luka has been pulling the strings all along,

2. I'm pregnant with his child, and...

3. He's never letting me out of his sight again. SH*T!!!.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5
Chemistry: 🧪🧪🧪/5
Plot: 4/5


I went into this book without any expectations. I went in blind beyond what I had read when requesting this, AKA yo girl done forgot 😂. Brain Fog does wonders for when you wanna go in blind.

This definitely wasn't what I expected. It was great, just not the plot that I had seen before. It's a different take on the mafia side. Luka was involved in the mafia but from afar. It was taking a toll, but he knew that he had one last thing he had to finish.

I enjoyed the banter between Luka and Dani, they had a playful but truthful way. There was some chemistry there but I don't feel as if there was a palpable reason why they were in love so quickly. I get instalove but this wasn't it. I think there could have been better scenarios as to how they interacted with each other and others within the storyline.

Let's talk 🌶️, there wasn't a lot of it. And the scenes were good, but not fantastic. This book is mainly about the plot more than 🌶️. I can appreciate it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. Usually in the mafia books I have read it's 🌶️🌶️🌶️. So I think there could have been more for each scene.

The title of this book doesn't do it justice. If this wasn't the fourth book in a series and I wasn't already curious about Luca's story after reading about him in the first three books, the title of this book would have turned me off.
Reading the first three books in this series isn't necessary to understand the plot. I enjoyed the premise and liked both main characters. I enjoyed the dynamic between Luca and Dani and how Luca appreciated that Dani is a strong, fierce woman.
This would be a five star read if it wasn't for two things. Spoilers: I didn't like how Dani held a gun to Luca after they fell in love, she knew she was pregnant and she had just risked her life to save him. She didn't even have to grovel for forgiveness since Luca came to her and said he never should have walked away from her. Ummm... Yes, he should have. She pointed a gun at him. This left a bitter taste in my mouth and dampened my enjoyment of the story. I also didn't like how Luca joined Dani at the FBI at the end. One thing I enjoyed about this series is the fierce loyalty the brothers share and even though Luca says he's still close with his brothers, it just doesn't sit well that he's FBI while they're Russian mafia.

[ChaChaBoochie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book started off strong! The tension was so good, I loved the set up. The dining table scene was my fav. I had high hopes and then it fell a bit flat midway through.


Nothing wrong with the rest of the story it just felt a bit fast and bland compared to the start. Appreciated that the story line moved quickly, sometimes too quickly, they didn’t really build much trust, they were just suddenly in love and that felt like there was room to explore more. In the safe house they are suddenly super trusting of each other … and they’ve been on two dates at that point, and luka really spilled the beans on his family in the interrogation which felt a bit off to me.

but was just as long as it needed to be in terms of the second half of the plot, glad it didn’t drag on and on like some I’ve read recently.

Main characters spent quite a lot of time apart though, trying to get back to each other, wish they would have spent more active time together.

Didn’t like that they split after catching all the bad guys, after everything they went through to get back together and then this big I love you moment, and then Dani let’s the father of her child walk away without anyway to contact each other.


Overall cute read though.

[Lola · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book left me somewhat confused. The title bears little relationship to 75% of the book and the blurb hints at an obsessive Bratva alpha. That is not the reality.

Having said that, it is well written with humour and rich plot detail. Agent Dani Harper is tasked with toppling the Bratva - most specifically the devastatingly handsome Luka Antonov and his brothers.

Sparks fly almost immediately, but this is an incredibly slow burn. The plot gets very convoluted as both Dani and Luka are caught up in a Russian revenge plan by the mysterious 'Trinity' and both their lives are under threat.

The story zips along at a satisfying pace and the passion between the 2 MC's is real.

My problem really is that the title is a complete misnomer. You would imagine that pregnancy is the main storyline and yet nothing could be farther from the truth.

As I said, well written but it not being what I expected or the blurb promised so did not hit the mark for me.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.

Knocked Up by The Bratva by K.C. Crowne grabbed and held my attention. It is Luca Antonov's story. I love that he is so different from his brother. His character was raised in the US but has been exposed to the Bratva through his brothers. I really enjoyed the little bit we got about his hacking. Dani Harper is an FBI agent out to get information from Luca to but him and his brothers in prison. Enter some old Antonov enemies and the story is off and running.

This story is exciting full of action and romance. The cat and mouse game Dani and Luka start with is fun. There are lots of secrets and plot twists, one especially took me by surprise. I always love revisiting the families getting updates on them. The world created on these books is well done. This book brings the brothers to Luke's world in NY. This series is my new favorite from this author and Knocked Up by the Bratva is my favorite of the series.

[Char · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dani is FBI and is just starting to investigate the Antonov Bratva which is made up of brothers. Dani is currently interested in one brother, Luka. Luka has never been photographed, no fingerprints, no media presence. Luka is a mystery. Nobody actually knows what he does for his brothers. He oozes hotness. Luka feels a connection to Dani. These two characters make this story come to life.They are bold, dynamic, sexy, hot and spicy. They have explosive chemistry- hot, hot, hot! They find they have an electricity, a magnetic draw to each other. This couple is electrifying! They are a little wacky, wild and crazy at times but it makes for an exciting and unique story. Two people going in different directions. What will happen next? Will they survive? Will they find each other again? Will their lives include love? It’s a “can’t put it down”. This book is filled with suspense, danger, near death experiences. This book is a definite keeper!! I truly love this series.

I was REALLY looking forward to this book because Luka seemed so cool in the other books. However, the story ended up being so mid. I was so disappointed. A lot of the reviews were very positive. Give those a read. I just did not like it. I was never a fan of the opposite sides of the law bit, and the whole thing grated on me. There was a lot of action, but there was so much, that it all blended in together. I just wanted to be done. So anyhow, yeah. My least favorite of the four. Two and three were probably the best.

This is Luka Antonov story. He's the youngest of the four brothers, he's the tech genius for CyberFort Security, he can get into firewall and hack into anything and everything.

Dani Harper is an FBI agent who is tasked with bringing in Luka Antonov and bringing down the Antonovs. Not realizing that Luka is aware of who and what she is Dani goes undercover and finds herself with the most infuriating man she has ever met. As their attraction grows there is danger for both of them as The Trinity surface determined to get their hands on Luka no matter the cost, and they will use any means to get hold of him, including using Dani. Lives are at stake, theirs and those around them, and with the added problem of a mole in the FBI, it will literally take everything they have for the both of them to survive what is thrown at them and protect those they love. Full of action, adventure and betrayal, this book has it all. A great addition to the Antonovs series and K C Crowne has created a well written book that you won't want to put down.

I didn’t think I could pick a favorite, but I think this was it. The last brother, the brother that seems more American than Russian. Luka is the youngest brother and a computer genius. Even though he feels more American then Russian, he would do anything for his brothers. But now something horrible has happened and the FBI is involved. Luka is in a fight for his life and FBI agent. Dani is right there with him. The Russian bratva has come to the states, the three worst, evilest members of a rival bratva has shown up and is after Luca. A relationship starts after Dani and Luca are on their own fighting for survival. For each other and discovery of that is amazing. This can be read by itself but I highly reading about the first three brothers.. It explains a lot, and makes this a much more enjoyable read. Not that it wasn’t the best book, and it had everything in it that you want in a romance book. Including the wrapup of the series, and seeing that it truly is about family.

Luka is the baby brother of the Antonov brothers. He is the computer genius, the one able to hack into anything and block media stories. Luka has been a mystery to the readers. Now we know he does love his anonymity and he no longer wants to help his brothers with Bratva business anymore, but his brothers need him for one more job. The family is being jointed investigated by Russia and the United States. There is an agent assigned to the case named Dani. Luka’s job is to get close to her to make sure she gets no information. But Luka gets a little too close because suddenly Dani is expecting a new Antonov baby. I have loved this series, each brother has had an amazing book and this last book doesn’t disappoint either. I loved how this series mixed normal sibling relationships with mean, cold domineering mothers with mafia business and a so called normal life. What a great blend I loved it!!

Knocked up by the Bratva is a dual POV romantic suspense that switches between the two main characters Luca and Dani.

It starts following Dani, who works for the FBI where she’s currently trying to get info about Luca Antonov and his family, but little does she know that Luca is already aware she’s after him. However after they spend more time together they fall in love, which causes many consequences for the two.

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, it was interesting and had plenty of drama that made you want to keep reading. I also really enjoyed watching the relationship progress between Dani and Luca despite all the challenges they faced.

Luka Antonov's life would never be the same all in a short few days, he discovered that the FBI and the Trinity consisting of Uncle Konstantin, Edvard Levitsky, and Violetta Salkov were after him. The FBI wanted to use him to get at Mikhail and Dimitri, but they had an inside source that gave them a heads up. Luka knew that Agent Dani Harper was coming after him, but he had no idea the Trinity had escaped the Pit in Russia wanting him to steal back their money from the Antonov Bratra. Dani had no clue her cover had been compromised, before she started, but it was not long before both she and Luka were fighting for their lives against the Trinity. A super action packed, thriller with plenty of suspense as Luka protects Dani against the Trinity a real chair gripper until the very end.

In this fourth book of the Antonov brothers, tech wizard and hacker extraordinaire Luka Antonov is the target when a trinity of old guard Bratva leaders want to use him take down the Antonov brothers and regain control of Moscow. If that is not enough, the FBI has sent Agent Dani Harper to bring Luka in, seducing him, if need be. Fake seduction gets out of hand and gets real for both of them.

I enjoyed all the action and drama of this book, as well as the romance that brews between the couple. There is family love and loyalty. A fierce, strong FMC and her fiesty little sister, coupled with smart, savvy, protective Luka and his strong, supportive brothers. And plenty of steam. I'm looking forward to more from this author!.
