Her Vicious Angel
“I like the way my handprints look on you,” he said, spreading his legs out arrogantly for me.
30-year-old Cerise St. Just is drowning in student loan debt when she gets a letter offering her $2.5 million dollars to marry notorious wealthy businessman Andrei Petrovic. When she arrives in Moscow she discovers that she’s completely misunderstood the job. Deciding to become his wife might be the most dangerous mistake of her life. She wants out. But now he won’t let her go.
The last thing Andrei wanted was a wife, but he will stop at nothing to possess and claim Cerise. He’s cold, brutal, and ruthless. The ultimate predator.
He frightens her.
She’s afraid there’s a place deep inside her that’s as dark and twisted as he is.
“Stop deluding yourself that I plan to let you go,” Andrei said. “You’re mine , Cerise. And I’ll do whatever I want with you.”
This is the first book in the Bratva Ballet series. Each book is a standalone with a HEA. This is a steamy forced proximity, arranged marriage dark Mafia romance, with some violent scenes.

I wondered uncomfortably if I was lying to myself about being a nice, normal person. There was something about Andrei that ripped through my skin and tore through me, exposing me as made out of the same dark materials he was.
Summary:
The novel begins, in the tradition of many great smutty stories, with crippling student loan debt. Having recently earned her PhD in Russian iconography, Cerise St. Just is struggling to make ends meet. When she receives an offer to essentially be a “reverse” Russian mail-order bride in exchange for $2.5M, she is, at first, rightfully skeptical. But when the bargainer ups the offer to $5M and explains that Cerise must marry his son to cover son’s “unnatural tastes and proclivities,” our delulu girl convinces herself that the son is probably gay. She is totally on board with moving countries and being a hot, blonde, billionaire, theater magnate’s beard in exchange for $5M, so she does.
Said hot, blonde, billionaire, theater magnate—Andrei Petrovic—is not gay and also not entirely a theater magnate. Well, he is, but that’s just a cover for his real operation as a notoriously ruthless Bratva underboss. At first, Andrei defies his father’s order to marry Cerise, rejecting the claim that he needs a wife or a cover. Yet, as this plucky little hellfire challenges Andrei in ways that no one else dares, Andrei cannot deny their mutual attraction. Nor will he let her go…
Review:
I usually actively avoid Russian mafia romances, but at this point I would probably giddily read Kate Raven’s grocery lists, so here we are.
Honestly, I was in from the moment Cerise gets Grigoriy Petrovic’s letter, which reads like the worst phishing scam,
“Dear Dr. Cerise St. Just, this is a job offer. You will get paid $2.5 million American dollars to move to Russia and marry my son Andrei Petrovic. Don’t ask questions.”
By 25% in I was able to (mostly) suspend my disbelief and wholeheartedly embrace the fantasy. It definitely helped that most of the Russian elements (Russian words, naming conventions, geography) were accurate. And, while I think it would be absolutely miserable and—if not impossible—at least a very bad decision to ride a motorcycle from Moscow to St. Petersburg in mid-January, who the fuck cares? That’s not why we’re reading this book.
Her Vicious Angel is short, and the plot is efficiently paced, throwing you into the action right away. Chapters alternate between Cerise’s POV and Andrei’s. While I don’t always love dual POV in romance, I definitely needed it here. Seeing how much of a goner Andrei was for Cerise right from the start won me over when a straight-up dark bratva romance would probably have put me off. Same with Cerise’s explicit desire for Andrei. The dub-con in Her Vicious Angel was more consensual than in some (maybe all) of Kate Raven’s other dark romances, and I definitely needed that here more than I normally would.
I might as well have let Cerise St. Just stab me. Because she gutted and carved me open either way.
Romance
Like Moonshine Savage , this book delivered the full fantasy. The sexy af, strongest, most ruthless man in the entire country, who could have any woman he wants, but wants our heroine and ONLY our heroine. Andrei is immediately and completely obsessed with Cerise, and I am immediately and completely obsessed with that. Not to mention, who doesn’t love an arranged marriage plot?
When he’s a possessive, entitled, inconsiderate jerk who’s completely obsessed with you.🤭🥺
And the smut was H O T, so fucking hot.
I wanted every dirty, disgusting, unwholesome thing he was into. I wanted every wrong and bad thing. I wanted his hands on me, hard and harsh.
*Kissing my feminism goodbye when he says--
“Go slowly!” I protested.
“Shut up,” he replied, spreading my cheeks with one big hand.
And then,
“Oh fuck, Cerise. You feel too good. Shit, I can’t go slowly.”
Characters
I had always been the good girl, the responsible girl, the cautious girl. And now at 30 years old I was flat broke with no boyfriend, and I lived in a leaky fleabag apartment. Maybe I would never get another chance to do something wild and unexpected.
I really enjoyed Cerise as a heroine. She starts out kind of naïve and sheltered but is no less bold or defiant for her innocence. She wants to break out of her bubble, and she does; we love a character growth journey that ends in bloodshed. Cerise is down so bad for Andrei’s bloodthirst (same, girl), and just as deranged and delulu as our psycho Andrei.
The one thing I don’t really understand is why Cerise? Just because of her Russian iconography degree? Plenty of people have Russian-related degrees. I have a (similarly useless) Russian-related degree. Maybe I missed where it was explained.
Andrei was… hot. Just hot. 10/10 alphahole. No notes.
“In America we say ‘hello,’” I said.
His lips twisted. “In my territory, I take what I want. And I want you.”
Humor
The comedy also did not disappoint, with classic lines like,
I had recently broken up with my boyfriend, who had quit his job to focus on bitcoin.
and
I’m not going back to him just because he committed an unhinged murder on live television.
Conclusion
Finally, I don’t want to spoil anything, but the last quarter of the book— *chef’s kiss* so good.
Overall, the things that would have bothered me about any Russian mafia romance still bothered me, but my issues aside I STILL ENJOYED IT. That she convinces me again and again to pick up books so outside my usual genres, I think, is a huge testament to Kate’s writing. Her books are the perfect combination of funny, hot, and twisted, with a little bit of unbearable sweetness.
TL;DR: I enjoyed a bratva romance, RIP all my years in Slavic studies.

I love Kate Raven’s formula: hero keeps running after heroine. Heroine is a badass who can be just as ruthless as the hero.
In terms of kinks. A lot more exhibitionism!
My first read by Kate Raven (The Catcher), the heroine was more of a doormat but she still fought back and it fit well with the hero and their story (baseball player needs an image reform and heroine is the PR person called in for the crisis comms spin).
This heroine is much more suited to be a Bratva’s wife. It still felt jarring when the heroine was automatically accepted into their lifestyle when she knows nothing of mafia but you just had to accept it. Like, we are not supposed to question the insta-lovelust.
One revelation I did enjoy was the hero’s “unnatural proclivity” was to hunt women down (he would hire them to run away from him) but with the heroine he does not need that fix at all.
PS Also love heroine’s POV. I love funny Kate Raven’s heroines can be!

I'm not sure what I just read.
Cerise gets a letter from a Russian stranger saying he'll pay her $5m to marry his son. She thinks the family is part of a theater company and since she's got a lot of bills to pay, she agrees and flies to Russia. Andrei wants no part in his father's matchmaking scheme. He makes his feelings clearly known. Then someone tries to kill them and they go into lockdown. Cerise discovers that the family is actually the Bratva and Andrei is the #2 man. Eventually they have sex. What was weird is that Andrei wanted to have sex with her but didn't really have the insta-lust or anything else for her. It really lacked on the believability scale.
I'm giving it a 2 because I didn't want to burn it at the end.

2.5/5 stars (rounded for review)
Sensed a lot of potential but in the end it wasn't my cup of tea. I understand that this is a novella, but I've read heaps of shorts that have way more character development and plot for less pages. I didn't really sense much of a connection other than lust tbh (not that its a bad thing) and I felt like there wasn't much to convince ME to love the characters. Also, just wanted to put it out there that consent is important. Do with that what you will and check the trigger warnings xx
In my opinion, if you're in search of a spicy, 'no one can touch her but me' alpha male and a sassy, 'hate him but my body doesn't get the memo' fmc then this may be for you. Overall, this was still an intriguing read. This is MY opinion on the book and I am in no way hating on it or the author. I received an advance review copy for free, this is my honest review <3

(I received an ARC for this book)
Trigger Warnings include:
dub con, murder, exhibitionism, primal play
This starts off like all other “too good to be true romances, and I ate it UP! It seemed other reviewers didn’t like that they were angry and horny all the time without any true emotions between them. Meanwhile, that was my favorite part! I loved that Andrei was controlling, and that Cerise fought to keep her control. Her defiance and stubbornness didn’t do her any favors though. Especially since it was like an aphrodisiac for him! The mystery and ruthlessness of this man piqued my interest from the start! He listed off all the ways that he’s a bad man, and all those red flags glowed green! Cerise knew she shouldn’t get involved with anything that Andrei was involved in, but she wanted every dirty detail. And so did I! I smiled and swooned like an idiot for the majority of this novella! All the things I love about dark romance shoved into a smutty plotted novella!
My Favorite Quotes:
• “Come here and ride my c!ck, wife.”
• “A knife is not going to stop me from f!cking you.”
• “I don’t like being disobeyed.”
• “If you get on your knees in front of me right now I’ll let you come.”
• “I like the way my handprints look on you.”
• “You ceased to belong to anyone else the second I wanted you.”
• “That’s the sound you make for me, baby.”
• “Taste yourself. See what’s driving me g!ddamn insane.”
• “You will be my wife because I want you.”
• “It’s you or nobody.”

This is a very dark romance that skirts the line between a forced proximity, arranged marriage and human trafficking. Cerise naively agrees to marry a man in Moscow she has never met for five million dollars, then finds she has made a terrible mistake with no way out. Although the sex scenes are hot, many flirt with dub con and Cerise obviously has a strong masochistic streak. Andrei always acts so tough and unfeeling that he seems almost like a caricature at times. And what’s with all the dead bodies, I could understand one or two (after all, we are dealing with the Bratva), but it’s like Andrei kills everyone he doesn’t like, and he doesn't like anyone. That’s just too unbelievable, even for the Russian mob! As far as romance goes, there's precious little to indicate Andrei has any feelings for Cerise aside from a desire to f..k and possess her, which seems to appeal to Cerise, so each to their own!

ARC Review!
Cerise is offered an irresistible offer of five million dollars to marry Andrei, the underboss of the Russian mafia, unbeknownst to her. Without giving it much thought, she accepts the proposal and travels halfway across the world to Russia. However, upon arrival, she realises that she might have rushed into this without fully comprehending the situation she's gotten herself into. Andrei, the impulsive and aggressive son of the Bratva mob, refuses to marry her, yet he won't let anyone take her away. She soon discovers that once you're part of the mob, there's no easy way out.
Their relationship takes on a complicated and spicy nature, bordering on dubious consent, as she seems to have masochistic tendencies, and he comes off as a sadist. Despite having an intense and fiery physical relationship, the book falls short of being a romance as Andrei shows little emotional connection to Cerise. He seems to be focused solely on sex and possessing her throughout the story, with his desire for her growing but never really evolving to a romantic relationship.
I rated the book two stars due to the lack of emotional depth in their relationship. The focus seemed to be more on Andrei's possession of Cerise, instead of exploring genuine feelings for her. Additionally, the plot was lacking. There were numerous unnecessary killings, but surprisingly, not much insight into the workings of the mob. I was anticipating some form of action typically associated with mafia-themed stories, but it did not quite deliver the level of excitement I was expecting.
The writing is very good, and the story is concise and fast-paced, making it easy to finish in just a few hours. Despite giving it only two stars, I would still recommend it to anyone seeking a quick and spicy mafia-themed novel!

I really wanted to like this Novella, but I just felt blah! The main male character was a very demanding egocentric, very domineering, and very arrogant. With lack of depth, there is not much else to go by. He does have the whole touch her and die thing going for him but that's about it. He lays claim to her, then keeps telling her and everyone he doesn't want to marry her, and every time someone else tries to get close to her, he either fights them or kills them.
The female lead character is American and basically signs up to be a mail order bride, but once she realized that Andrei isn't who the internet made him out to be, she wants nothing to do with him. i feel like she gives in to easily. I mean come on What American 30 year old women is going to allow a man to treat her the way Andrei does. He basically spanks her into submission. It felt very stockholm syndrome except she allows it by being a willing participant.
The writing felt very thought based, as in the thoughts of the author bounced around and didn't give much into completing the one it was on before jumping to the next. I am ADHD and it felt like how my brain works, thinking to many things at once and can't complete a single one of them. I understand it is a novella and is short but I read one this week that was only 44 pages long and the character development was better.

This is my first book by this author.
Cerise is a 20 something year old who has a degree in Russian iconography, no family, and nothing else going on in her life. She takes a leap and an offer of 5 million to marry a Russian billionaire. No questions asked.
Once she gets there her life is forever changed and not at all what she expected.
Andrei is a Bravta boss. The underboss of his father in the Russian Mafia. He doesn’t want a wife and has no need for one. He has certain tastes that has gotten him into trouble in the past. Having a wife is supposed to prevent those tastes.
Cerise grows and realize what she likes sexually when she didn’t know previously. She also likes to be defiant and defends women who can’t defend themselves.
Andrei has a penance for spanking and showing who is in charge. You disobey and you get punished. Which Cerise learns this very quickly.
This was a quick and easy read for me. I personally didn’t think this was as Dark as some mafia romances can get. There is a nice amount of spice. Some blood play, exhibition, spanking, and public sex. I don’t believe there was any Dubcon/noncon scenes. That’s just my opinion. I thought it was all hot and fire!! With that being said PLEASE PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
Excited to see there will be more books with Cerise and Andrei plus other members!

This dark mafia/bratva romance comes with a plethora of trigger warnings, so be sure to check those before reading.
“Dear Dr. Cerise St. Just, this is a job offer. You will get paid $2.5 million American dollars to move to Russia and marry my son Andrei Petrovic. Don’t ask questions.”
After some light Google stalking and erroneous assumptions, Cerice jumps on the mail-order bride train as a fix for her student loan woes. But her groom-to-be isn’t a theater owner, but rather the son of the Pakhan and a terrifying, possessive, unhinged, and powerful man with no intention of marrying.
I enjoy a dark mafia romance on occasion, and while the premise intrigued me, this book didn’t quite live up to my hopes.
I didn’t get the character development and emotional connection between Andrei and Cerice that I was after. I also would have liked an explanation as to why Cerice was chosen for Andrei. What brought her to the Pakhan’s attention as a potential bride for his son?
This book is a quick read at under 200 pages and has all the violence, alpha male touch her and die vibes, and smutty scenes you expect in a dark mafia romance. If that’s your jam, pick it up on KU.

I read this book as an ARC read and I really liked it! Cerise randomly gets an email offering her $5 Billion dollars if she aggress to go to Russia and marry Andrei Petrovic. At first she thinks its a scam but after receiving a call from his lawyer she was told that she was needed to "provide cover for his unnatural tastes and proclivities". From that description she believed that he was gay and they were just hiding it from the public. She goes to Russia and finds out that he is definitely not gay, but the son of the Pakham to the Russia Mafia and he refuses to get married to her even though he wants to have sex with her.
There is a lot of spanking (with a belt) in this book and the spice is great! After some time with Andrei, Cerise runs away from him and hides as a nun (so random). There she finds out what his unnatural tastes and proclivities are, he likes to chase women...literally and get a thrill (or sex) out of it. But for some reason its not the same with Cerise. He ends up finding her and they have sex at the church. And in the end they end up getting married...and theres more sex (in front of the guests)!!
This book was a good read and there are triggers so beware! Also the people in the book cover did not match the description of Andrei and Cerise.

This was goofy and not believable at all. I get that it’s a mafia book and you have to suspend logical thought, but nothing here made sense (possible spoilers ahead)
h receives an email offering her 2 million to marry his son. She said no, then she was offered 5 million. YEP 🤪 she jumps on the offer. What sane/smart person would do that? How did the dad pick her? Why? Why would she not automatically think the email was a scam? Dad explains his son has some *unusual* tastes. Ummm, she thinks he’s gay.
Then she gets to Russia, and H is NOT happy with her at all. He doesn’t want a wife. There’s a car chase that happens, some people end up dead, and H and h go flying around Russia on a motorcycle- in December 🙃🙃
If none of that is crazy enough for you, hold on. It gets better. H starts to sexually harass her everywhere. “You’re mine” *in the caveman voice* but he still doesn’t want to marry her.
There are moments where he lays h on a table and makes her pleasure herself IN FRONT OF ALL HIS MEN wut?
There are moments where naked women are dancing in H’s lap while h watches. There are times H and h have smex or finger action while others are around.
JFC
His unusual tastes ends up being he likes to chase his women.

There are moments where he lays h on a table and makes her pleasure herself IN FRONT OF ALL HIS MEN wut?
There are moments where naked women are dancing in H’s lap while h watches. There are times H and h have smex or finger action while others are around.
JFC
His unusual tastes ends up being he likes to chase his women.

Brutal, Bratva, Betrothal!!! This book is all things ruthlessly Russian and will knock your socks right off your feet if you’re not prepared for its total moral decimation. This story between Cerise and Andrei is not your typical love story. In fact, it’s not really a “love” story at all in my opinion. It’s most definitely a “lust” story at its most raunchy base level. The brutality is fortunately not super graphic which helps to keep the main story mostly in tact and on track. As this type of trope is not one of my favorites I found it difficult to look past the savagery of events taking place within the story. It’s well written for the most part, however, I did find it to be a bit “jerky” at times skipping over details that seemed somewhat necessary. Cerise surprised me several times and not in a good way. I think I just wasn’t prepared for her to be as ruthless as Andrei. All in all it’s not really a book I would recommend to the faint of heart. In fairness, the author does expound on the trigger warnings and what type of book this is so I would just advise: “Reader beware and read at your own risk!”

Cerise is drowning in student debt, having recently graduated with her PhD. in Russian Iconography. When she gets a job offer for $2.5 million to marry Andrei Petrovic, in order to "hide his proclivities", she ignores it, thinking it's a joke. When they up the offer to $5 million, she decides she'd like to see Russia, and then come home. Once she arrives, she realizes she's made a mistake. Andrei is bent on terrorizing her. He's angry, and the last thing he wants is a wife. In the end, he wants Cerise. Their happily ever after is explosive.
Wow. This book is incredible. A quick read, it was a fantastic way to spend my afternoon. The author calls Andrei unhinged, and that's the most apt description. Cerise is just as insane, though, both thriving on and driving Andrei's behavior. It's a thing of beauty. Their chemistry couldn't get any hotter, and the spicy scenes are flaming hot. It will be a hard wait for the second book in the series, so hopefully not too long. This is very much worth the one click.

Hmmm
Not my fave by Kate Raven. This book is heavy on smex and light on the plot. Since there is no romance or characters falling in love, I would characterize this as erotica. Even as erotica the flimsy plot really struggles to stay together. Situations are created to make sense for lots of explicit smexytimes but not anything to build on characters. We learn nothing deep about the characters, a out as deep as a puddle, and even the smex scenes are repetitive. There is so much ridiculousness on top of ridiculousness.
😟 her arm almost being ripped out of its socket (mentioned at least 2-3 times and it was back to back scenes. Yet homegirl is fine)
😟 kissing until his lip breaks skin and bleeds.
😟 nothing but open exhibitionist smex even in front of family members and soldiers
😟 FMC is ditzy enough to travel halfway across the world with an odd "I'm a Nigerian Prince, ease help me" style offer.
😟 constantly getting bitten, fingers dug into skin, skin pulled, skin bruised, etc, and yet she never really needs to rest or heal
😟the MMC is always yanking and pulling and not in a fun way

TRIGGER WARNINGS for this book - I highly recommend reading these first as some pages may offend some readers.
Book number 1 in the Bratva Ballet series by Kate Raven. Her vicious angle is a very quick read that took me around 3 hours to complete.
The book starts with a story about Cerise who is offered $5 million to marry Andrei. With a PhD in Russian Iconography you would think that she would at least research or learn a little more about what she is getting into.
She jumps head first into agreeing to marry an unknown and you fall head first into a car wreck and the first lot of murders. This book definitely has a large amount of dead bodies and s*x.
From here the book continues on a high paced journey that touches on the ballet, mafia, love/lust, fighting and loads of s*x and some questionable choices.
If you are looking for a spicy novella with a very simple story line then this is the book that you are looking for.
Although I do enjoy a good mafia story I need more background and lead up with perhaps a tad less on the s*x front personally.

Her Vicious Angel by Kate Raven
Is a story about a Russian Bravta dark romance that is full of violence, carnality, and action.
Cerise came from the U.S. to marry a wealthy man’s son to help pay her debts for her doctorate. She’s an intelligent woman but not very smart about real life, probably should look at an offer of money in the millions with a doubtful eye. He’s definitely Lucifer, beautiful but deadly, completely unremorseful when he kills.
Andrei is the underboss and his father the Pakhan: he’s arrogant, gorgeous, and dominant. Their first meeting is a shock for both: he doesn’t want a wife, she wants to go home, and they are intensely attracted to one another. The narrative, dialogue, and plot are fast paced and well written to be efficient and explicitly decadent. There’s exhibitionism, impact play, and voyeurism that adds to the sexual tension. I can’t wait for this couple’s next book!
But please read the Tigger warning before reading as there is alot and I mean alot that some might not agree with.

I really enjoyed this book! I think that the relationship between the FMC and MMC is problematic at times, however I couldn’t help but to love the two of them together. The MMC is possessive, dominant and at times I wanted to punch him. The FMC is unwittingly pulled into the mafia life by answering a mail-order bride letter.
The story has some very good spicy scenes. I really liked the writing style of the author and I will definitely be reading the second installment of the series. This is a dual POV story with most of it being told from the FMC’s POV, the only thing that I wish was different is that there were more chapters from the MMC’s POV. But overall the story was great and I really enjoyed reading it. I would highly recommend this book for the readers who like dark romance and mafia themes.
This story is a dark themed mafia romance, I would highly recommend looking at the warning from the author to check for triggers.

OMG! Wow I was absolutely astounded reading this book, this story had me from the first page I was mesmerised and the characters were absolutely captivating. This story was about Cerise and Andrei, Cerise lives in America and she was giving a choice of a lifetime, by going to Moscow in Russia don't ask any questions and she would receive a lot of money. Andrei is the ruthless devil he is rude he doesn't pretend to like her, he grabbed Cerise's arm put her in he didn't want a wife. This book was exhilarating reading this story with all the action, suspense, danger, violence, killings, arranged marriage, ruthless, unforgiven, heartless, Bratva, escaping, betrayal, secrets, twist and turns. Andrei couldn't rest when she ranaway he was a bear with a sore head, so he changed his mind and gave her a ring and a another present. Cerise didn't want to get to close just in case she fall for him and he hurt her and break her heart.

MMC/FMC- Andrei and Cerise
POV- 1st person dual, mostly FMC
Genre- Mafia Romance
Sub Genre- Bratva
Heat- they do all the things and name the parts. Consent is very dubious.
Series? Y
Cliffhanger? N
HEA/HFN? I guess
Triggers- HEED THE TRIGGER WARNING. Triggers include: Violence, language, explicit sex, dub con, sexual violence, corporal punishment (by MMC to FMC).
Tropes- Mail Order Bride, Alpha Male, OTT rough sex
What I liked- words were spelled accurately and grammar was correct.
What I didn’t- rough and tumble/BDSM can make a book entertaining. But when sex is used as a punishment, that’s sexual violence. Consent is very dubious in this book as well. And the corporal punishment leaves marks and is very close to Domestic Violence.
Verdict- don’t waste your time and money unless you like reading about sexual violence.

I know this is supposed to be a dark romance, but there is also romance and then there is exploitation and abuse. She receives and offer to marry a Russian millionaire and just blindly packs her bags, no further research, but she is portrayed as educated? Then she gets there and the Russian Mafia under-boss orders her to 'ride his dick' and then that arouses her? He beats her into submission but she enjoys it? The fact that he has sex with his mail-order bride in front of everyone does not claim her to be his, it shows his insecurities and weakness as a man and under-boss. The whole story is just about the men having public sex and the women crawling to suck them off.
This was a quick read, but definitely not my thing.

More of a 2.5 star than a 3 star.
I received this book as an ARC review. There was definitely a lot of potential in this book if it was just tad longer/more detailed in some areas! The plot definitely was there, characters seemed interesting, and there was some development going on. It is just a very rushed, quick read which is not always a bad thing!
Andrei and Cerise both are firey characters and I would have loved just some more background/details with them both prior to the arranged marriage and during. The plot holds a lot of promise with the mafia and boss, but just doesn’t really go into it. All in all it’s a great super quick read if you don’t want to get too attached to the characters or just want a smutty mafia book! It is in no way a “bad” book, just wasn’t my jam, but it was still enjoyable and I still had fun reading the book!

I am going to start this review off by saying pay attention to the trigger warnings, because I don't have any triggers and what I like others may not.
Her Vicious Angel is Book 1 of the Bratva Ballet Series, and for me it was a quick read. This dark romance had just the right about of violence and spice for me. I loved the storyline and can’t wait to read more of the series. The only complaint I have is I wish we learned a bit more about the MFC, Cerise, but who knows we may get to know more about her in another book in the series. We get to know the MMC, Andrei, fairly well though.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes dark romance. Im going to repeat myself here about the trigger warnings, though, pay attention to them, because I don’t have any triggers and what I like other may not.

Spicy, touch her and d!e MMC and a sassy FMC who hates to want him, but oh how she wants him.
I know this isn’t a romcom but I couldn’t help but laugh in places. Cerise’s sass is brilliant.
This is a novella that follows Cerise be shipped to Russia to marry Andrei who has a shmink that his Dad doesn’t want getting out.
The research she does on him doesn’t highlight he’s in the mafia and once arriving she’s drawn to him, despite telling herself she doesn’t want him.
The book is very spice driven so if you’re looking for plot and character development this may not be for you, but as a quick read (I read it in 1.5 hours) it may be something to give you a break from longer novels.
My rating is given on the fast paced story, spice scenes, drama and the fact it works well as a mafia smut novella.
Check trigger warnings.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I read the description, I was intrigued and I thought it would be a good book to read. I was given the chance to read this book before the release, which I do appreciate.
Though after six chapters into it, I just couldn’t read it anymore. Cerise, our FMC, received an email of a one in a life time opportunity to move to Russia and marry her son to oversee his “unnatural taste and proclivities”. And her being the most naive FMC I’ve ever read, she assumed he was gay,hoping she would live a “decent life” then move back to the U.S.
………like babes bffr right now
Now don’t get me started on Andrei. He already gives me grape vibes and it turned me off immediately. From his actions and his POVs, I just don’t like him nor can I trust him with my drink🤷🏾♀️

Do you like dark mafia romance? If so this is the book for you. There is forced proximity, arranged marriage, mail order bride, touch her and die, and a whole lot of dirty talk to be found. The FMC does come off a little on the naïve side while the MMC comes off a touch to arrogant. But overall the book was good. Both of the MC’s are fighting something. The FMC is fighting her attraction to the MMC while he is fighting the arranged marriage. The spice and smutty scenes are hot!!!! I couldn’t put the book down and was surprised when it came to an end. I kinda wish it would have had a little more of an ending, but this is just the first book of a series so who knows where it will go. Personal I am patiently waiting for the next book.

2.75 - 3.25 stars.
i liked elements of this. the hero's possessiveness, the fact that he's willing to kill for the heroine, and i also liked when he had to search for her after she ran away.
i wish the heroine hadn't lost her personality halfway through this. very suddenly she went from defiant and angry and being the only person to stand up to the hero - to being so out of her mind with lust for the hero 🙄 she just couldn't say no to him. and the hero never really seemed that devoted to her. sure, he lusted after her. but that was it, really. it wasn't until the EPILOGUE that he said he loves her, and would kill anyone who angers her, etc.
like, the epilogue is too late in the book for the hero's emotions to finally come into play.

'Her Vicious Angel' is a dark mafia book with oodles of twists and turns and super-spicy moments. It starts with a mail-order bride situation and the naivety of the FMC does drive me a bit crazy… but Cerise goes to Russia after receiving a letter offering her 2.5 million dollars to marry a wealthy business man…not knowing Andrei's business is the Bratva!!
The spice is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and the dirty talk between Cerise and Andrei is just amazing. There is quite a lot of action and it does turn quite dark, so please please read the content warnings before reading the book.
If you enjoy dark, spicy mafia stories, I recommend this book!
