by Veda Rose

He took me hostage, locked me in, and knocked me up.I was at an innocent bachelorette party when a mafia war erupted around me. Next thing I know, a much older Bratva guy takes me to his penthouse.

The scar on his face tells me he doesn’t take no for an answer. The muscles in his arms tell me I have no choice but to obey. He strokes my pregnant belly with his blood-streaked hands until I lose my last defense. And as he exposes my most vulnerable parts, I Will he play me until I break? Or will he be the Bratva daddy I need so badly?The Milov Bratva play only one kind of one that is full of blood, cruelty, and power. Only their brides come to see another side of them. A side where they will protect the ones they love and die for them if they have to. Until you can’t do anything but want them for life.

About the author

Veda Rose loves getting lost in the intense, dark and suspenseful universes she creates. Although her characters can often be complicated and twisty, at the core of it all is deep and profound love.

Born and raised in Portland, Veda Rose has always been an introvert who could often be found deeply engrossed in a book. Or multiple books. So it was only natural that at some point she would embark on her own journey as a writer to bring to life her wild imagination.

When she is not writing or thinking out her next tormented love fantasy, she enjoys hiking and exploring unfamiliar places with her furry companions.

Reviews

Spoilers

Hannah , did not like her at all she's a spoiled girl Luca tried so hard to make her happy and she was never satisfied nothing was ever enough, it was only her way until the final kidnapping. Who was the rat in the family they never said who it was. Did they find the money in the walls? No epilogue one was needed.

Luka is living the life, he knows his brothers think he is the perpetual bachelor who enjoys the ladies and it is true but he also works hard at running the businesses he has. When he sees a woman entering his club with a bachelorette party, he sees she is not the normal woman who comes into party and is intrigued. Next thing Luka knows is he is rescuing Hannah and doesn't want to let her go.

Hannah is from Ohio recently moved to Las Vegas. To say she is out of her element is completely accurate but when she is kidnapped, Luka steps in to keep her protected. Although Luka takes it to another level and finds herself married to a made man and falling for Luka while questioning if she is strong enough to be in his life?

This was riveting. Thought Hannah was a bit harsh in one part of the story, I got it but she put Luka in an impossible situation. Terrific series I can't wait to read more of.

Another good book

This is the third book in the series and it didn’t disappoint. This is Luka’s story, he is the playboy in the family. When he sees the h, he falls in love immediately. The h is a shy, quirky and sweet, not really built for his life. There are multiple kidnappings, torture, murder and hot sex. At one point the h became a bit whiny and selfish, she didn’t understand how the family dynamics worked. They were able to overcome their differences to find their HEA. Good ending.

[Amy R]

Not a deep read

The characters were very one dimensional unfortunately. So you never really get anything but the broad strokes. The story just falls flat. There are additional books but I’ll definitely skip them and skip this author.

Hannah is thrown into Lucus world by being in the same location as him. He forces marriage to keep her safe after she is kidnapped. This is how their life together starts. The Bravta life is full of drama and violence. But the family is full of love for one another. This book is a wonderful example of surviving life because nothing is really secure and safe in life. This is what Hannah must learn. She is taught that when she and the other Bravata wifes are kidnapped. They escape together without the aide of their husbands. It is an interesting read because of all the characters. Hannah is fixated with serial killers which she does a podcast about. Plus she is a makeup artist. She is accomplished at searching the dark web as well. Her husband is not that accomplished with computers but her is smart in other ways. She finds she fits in better with Lucas family than she does with her own . They actually listen to her and are interested in what she has to say. It is a really good book. I would give it more than 5 star if possible.

Luka and Hannah's Story

This is the third book of the Milov Bratva series, featuring the youngest son, Luka Milov.
Luka is the playboy, favorite of Mama Milov. He is now managing a renovated casino in Vegas. He sees a sweet young woman, Hannah Jenson at the casino while she is there with a bachelorette party.
When a shoot out happens, Luka grabs Hannah but she later gets suckered into his world.
Like all women who get sucked into Bratva world according to this author, Hannah is forced to marry Luka but this time Luka just forges her signature.
Hannah is obsessed with serial killers, running a podcast about them. She thinks Luka will poison her. Then she rebels against him staying with his family business. She thinks that she is morally superior.
Hannah detracts from the story, again like many of the author's FMCs.
The story is interesting although there are issues. What happened to the treasure in casino walls? Kitty seems to occasionally float in and out of the story - that is not how cats act.

Insta love. He “kidnaps” her, forges marriage papers, and knocks her up. She whines the entire time about how dangerous his life is and also tells him he needs to completely separate from his family. Like girl, you aren’t that important. She moves out and asks for a divorce but then she shows up to give him a hoodie and see if he is alright but then she gets shot at and immediately wants to move back in with him because it isn’t safe. Lady you were just complaining that being with him wasn’t safe. I’m already writing this review without even finishing the book yet because I know I’m still going to dislike it. Also, for him being in the Bravta, he doesn’t seem badass at all.

I really enjoyed book 3 of this series. I was really hoping the author would do Luka right, and I was not disappointed. He is my favorite of the Milov brothers, and I really enjoyed his story with Hannah. I really wish the author fixed the issue with the British slang that plagues every novel in this series. The novel is set in Las Vegas, but there are a lot of British words that I feel an American would not say in everyday life. That took me out of the story a bit.

[Irene Marshall]

Tedious

Another yawn inducing book in this series, this one the most boring so far. I keep reading the series in the hope of something a bit more exciting happening so far no such luck, I guess if you are only interested in the relationship part these books may be okay but I personally even find that staid. Not the most interesting Bratva books.

[D. D.]

This is the third book in the series. I can't decide between Luka and Danil as my favorite brother. But Luka has a special personality, you can't help but like him. The playboy gets hit hard and fast in his story. He will do anything, everything, and all things to make Hannah love him. He gets so upset and tormented wanting her forever. A great story. You will enjoy it.

good story

Another good storyline but would be better if there was good editing. The misplaced words and errors in punctuation is distracting at times and I had to go back to reread sections. Again the British English verbiage throws off some of the characters since the female characters are supposedly Americans. They would not refer to things as stated in the book.

[Veronica Martinez]

THIS is...an Unexpected "TREASURE"!!!

Following this Family has been Spell Binding! Lives filled with Real, everyday troubles and Tribulations, and the Family Business! DON'T MISS THIS SERIES!!

[Michelle Butterly]

I really enjoyed this book so much it was really fun and informative with great characters and a well written story with great content that made me feel like I was being pulled into the pages.

[Delores Bruington]

I love this Story

Each book gets better than last one. Luka and Hannah draws you in with their complex relationship. The growth of their love and her coming to terms with the family lifestyle. It’s full of excitement and intrigue. I totally enjoyed this book.

[Janice Marie]

A good read!

I was wondering how Luka’s relationship would turn out. Another kidnapped bride that can’t help but fall in love with her kidnapper. The same storyline for each book, except the characters differ. I did find the book very enjoyable!

[Carly Milam]

Best mafia book I've read so far this year.

Omg this is such a good book. It made me cry at times, then laugh and the omfg about all the sex they're having. You should really read this book. I highly recommend it. Hannah and Luca.

[Nicky]

This is Luca and Hannah’s story. Luca sees Hannah at a bachelorette party for her cousin at his casino and feels an instant attraction to her. Unfortunately other people show up with guns. This is their journey! Enjoyed this read.

[Barbara]

Milov Bratva Brides is a great series!

Good plots,. superb character development, snarky funny dialogue, AND as for spice...this story has more spice than KFC..


Binge reading the series. Highly recommended.

[Maida Bojórquez ornelas]

I liked the concept, the Main idea, and the characters, but it felt rushed and sometimes not well executed or developed, like a light bulb with an idea went up and it got written without thinking it through to make sure it made sense or that it got developed enough.

[Dee Bayer]

Luka & Hannah

Great story, a meek girl who tries to get her cousins to like her and the only one that talks to her is Meryl the cousin that’s getting married. Then Luka the playboy sees her in his casino and wow he wants her

[Cathyrn]

🤗

I enjoyed this Bratva Mafia read. I enjoyed how much Luka tried to ease Hannah's mind and keep her with him because she was working my nerves lol. But it all worked out in the end, and she finally understood his family and fit right in.

[Cherie Clark]

[Sai Sree]

Just gave one star because of hannah I think I hate her she’s always a brat

[Susan Flores]

Good book!

Really good plot... but incorrect spelling and
is distracting.

Published books should not have simple errors that could have been corrected before public consumption.

[Tessa]

Fast phase story ,good

[Tracy]

Incomplete

Overall decent, however the rat within the family/household is never fleshed out. They are referenced several times , then nothing.
