Broken by the Bratva

Rate this book
Pasha Chazov has been following me for weeks.

Hunting me like the hungry Bratva beast his is.

Desperate to claim me before his brother does.



I’m terrified of him, but he’s utterly obsessed with me.

I see the way his abs move under his fitted shirt as he hunts me.

How his vivid green eyes dance over my body.

How his sharp jaw clenches as I slip away.



Yesterday he showed up in the parking lot to prevent me from going to work.

Apparently, nobody else is allowed to see me anymore.

He wants to keep me locked away, spoiling me rotten with money, purses, and trips to Italy.



But hot nights and lavish shopping sprees don’t come without a price.

And once I discover the truth about why he wants me, it’s already too late.



I’m pregnant with his baby,

And now his brother wants me dead.

Rough draft

Have you ever awoken from a dream and wanted to write the parts you could remember down? That's EXACTLY what this book is. The style of writing, as well as the editing. The retelling of simple things that may have "happened" the paragraph before was even wrong.

This story has potential but is in need of some serious research for the MMC. I couldn't believe a single them about him. The FMC's back story was also unbelievable besides the one thing she is grieving over. The things she said and did never matched up with the personality the writer was aiming for. So many missing moments or things that were important shortened to a simple run-on sentence then moved on like an afterthought.

Again, potential, however , in need of major work to go from something a teenager may write for an essay project to a published novel.

Wow. This is an insult to women, models, drug addicts, fake mafia boyfriends, Texas...and probably more, but I never finished the book, so I don't know.

It starts with the MFC (didn't bother remembering her name), an underwear model, snorting cocaine at a party while having some deep emotional reaction to some big "trauma" in her past. That should have been a red flag, but I continued.

Turns out she has a stalker. The first real glimpse of this dude is him claiming that he needs to impregnate her - again for some "mysterious" reason. He's not very good at his stalking tactics though because he has no idea what her job is.

There are so many inconsistencies in this story it gave me whiplash.

Moving on... so, when she tells him what her job is, he demands that she never does it again, kidnaps her, and then kills the men who he hired to kidnap her - it could have been 3 or 4. It started as 3, then there were 4 dead bodies, then there were only 3 again. Who knows.

Anyway... they sit down for a meal (I guess) and he wants her to remove her underwear. And her, being the stupidest person I have ever had the misfortune of reading decides to bet for him to leave him alone. However, as soon as they agree to play this game, the rules change and they play a completely different game. But that's not important.

He wants her to guess something that he can't afford to buy. The first thing she says is... a gemstone. A big gemstone, but a stone none the less. Okay, so she loses her underwear, then she asks for a check for a billion dollars (I can see SO many loopholes to that one, but whatever), and she loses all her clothes. Then, she guesses the Eiffel Tower, and he LOSES HIS GODDAMN MIND and tells her to get out of her sight.

This man, the one who didn't want her modeling underwear, had her walk home (which was never explained how she got home without being attacked or arrested) COMPLETELY NAKED.

But lets keep going... so she's a drug addict and chooses to buy drugs in the most obvious possible way, and he catches her. Of course, he then has to punish her for trying to poison his baby-making vessel and they end up having sex on the floor of a nightclub bathroom. Can you imagine a grosser spot to do anything? Let alone have your naked body on it?

So many other little random things keep happening. He turns from a trillionaire to a billionaire (Tony Stark wasn't even a trillionaire, give me a break) in a matter of pages. Meanwhile, she is apparently the poorest rich person ever. She drives a sports car and has designer clothes, but he takes her to a boutique and then all of a sudden she doesn't know how to act around expensive clothes.

They are both horribly written characters and I have no idea why anyone would enjoy their story. Their hidden traumas are the least traumatic a trauma can be, and their personalities are all over the place.

I could probably go on and on, but I need to wipe this book from my memory. Let's just say, it was one of the worst books I have ever read - or tried to read.

Okay I will say once you start you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned so make sure to double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha’s personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love along the way. Valerie a sweetheart when she wants to be a professional lingerie model making her own way good at her profession living in a nice studio apartment, she is invited to a party well invited to a lot of parties with her reputation and not realizing it is a bratva boss but the attraction was instant with the owner of the party. Pasha sexy as all get out bratva boss owns nearly every building on the north side and his brother own nearly every building on the south side but the two of them never got along they have a hate/hate relationship. Anatoly sexy as all get out brother to the bratva boss finds out Valerie lives on his side and he wants her just as bad as his brother feels like she should be with him and pursues her but she choose Pasha so he puts a hit out on her so will he go through will the hit, will the two brother ever get along, will the boss protect his girl, and can they have something more than the fear of his own brother wanting her dead because she didn’t choose him?

This is a Russian Mafia Romance and is Pasha Chazov and Valerie Morgan's story. Valerie is a twenty-four year old lingerie model and makes a considerable amount of money in her profession. She lives in a nice high-rise studio apartment in the city. Valerie happens to meet Pasha at a party which is being held at his home. Pasha is a Bratva Boss and owns every building in the city except on the south side and he's working on that. His brother Anatoly is on the south side and these brothers don't get along.
Pasha is obsessed with Valerie and has been watching her for six months. He goes in her apartment while she sleeps, even taking her things. Pasha is always showing up unexpectedly. Why is Pasha so obsessed with Valerie ? Why does Pasha want her before his brother gets to her ? This is a older man / younger woman read with obsession, steam, kidnapping, secrets, violence and danger.

This book needs something

So I was looking forward to this book but this book has quite a few grammatical errors, so much in fact that it takes away from the book.

The second issue I had was the relationship the two main characters had. The fmc seemed very opposed to the mmc and his attempt to win her over, and then the next thing you know, she starts really falling for him when he lets her throw a ridiculous amount of money out the car window, like, huh? Ok, weird, but to each their own.

The other issue *SPOILER ALERT*

The fmc has a coke addiction, which you think is going to be a big part of the story. Nope, she goes to rehab for a couple of weeks and is magically sober with no other issues.

Lastly, I felt there should have been more suspense and more storyline involving scenes with the brother but that's another no. He makes his appearance at the very end of the book and has maybe 7 minutes worth of scenes total.

I think the book had the potential to be great but just really fell short.

Bella King, you took all the things that I crave in dark book boyfriend romance and put them in Pasha Chazov.

He takes his no attitude towards Valerie Castor to a whole new level. The way he pursed her to no end is crazy but hot. Of coursee when I found out the reason for his obsession, it all made sense.

His primal obsession also extends into the bedroom, too. The way he took control of her body. Holly smokes, Batman!!! At times, I was wondering if Valerie would die from all the orgasms he was giving her in one scene.

I'm happy that Pasha is there for her to battle her demons and that he doesn't judge her. He also helps her heal from past drama in her life. These two were made for each other.

Creepy guy meets shallow, drug-addicted girl, but hey, she's beautiful, so he has to have her. She immediately jumps in bed with him because he's willing to fritter away millions on her ridiculous self-centered whims.

Set in a mythical Texas city that in no way reads like Texas anywhere; where a girl can be a lingerie and runway model; a city that reads like old-time Chicago gangsters, run by the Russian mob, where all the civilians cower before a Russian guy with guns, the city has forests to live in "south" of the city, and where a guy can, on a whim, close off miles of highway near the city without a suburban soul sitting impatiently on the side streets or filming with their cell phones. (Has the author ever been to Texas?)

This book needs an editor.

This was a dark romance with a twist. Russian Bratva Mafia Boss, Pasha, is a tattooed hunk with a dark side, and he wants his girl. He has researched her DNA and she will be perfect, BUT she doesn’t want anything to do with him. This is a suspenseful, action packed read with lots of spice. lt kept me glued to every page, absolutely rate this read- thoroughly enjoyed every moment!.

💕💖💕 Pasha and Valerie💕💖💕 This is a very different book! Pasha is a hard guy to love and he wants Valerie! At first he just wants her... NO love, just "I want"! Bella King does a great job with the characters in her books and she did an awesome job with these two! It was definitely a good read and I recommend it!.

When he began with the Reproductive Coercion, I DNF’d this book all the way home. It’s got one of the creepiest heroes I’ve ever encountered, and if he wasn’t the hero, she’d be getting a restraining order, splitting town, and going off grid. Includes Reproductive Abuse/Coercion.

The author has given us a heart pounding dark story that pulls us into the lives of Valerie and Pasha. The story keeps us turning the pages with obsession, manipulation, secrets, danger and steam.

good read, but lots of typos

This was a good story, but there were so many typos. Sometimes it was hard to read. Also, some scenes were unnecessary and over the top. Especially in the beginning of the book. Overall I liked it.

I enjoyed the story. Pasha and Valerie were def suited to each other. Good storyline and lots going on throughout the book. It was also a nice length and did not drag on. Will be ready more of Bella's books 👍

Interesting read

This is a totally different and innovative Brava plot. I found it a good read. It had an intriguing plot as well as just enough violence and suspense to make it a good Brat a story without getting gory.

Unbelievable at times.

The storyline was good but some of the events like the tossing of the money was just too much.
They had good chemistry.
Her past was stressed too much and it wasn’t even that bad.

The Most Annoying Main Female Character

It’s not often I read a book and just want to shake the MFC, but this one is it. Valerie has such a habit of putting herself and others in danger it’s just irritating!!!!

A baby

I found this story different.
Both of them were reckless. Him proving to her money is not important to him. I found her very Materialistic. I was disappointed about his brother. He turned out to be a weak man. Past gave more than he received.
Not enough depth in this story

Whilst I did enjoy reading this book, I felt that the storyline was rushed and there are a few holes in it. Plot was lacking a bit.
