Medvedev Bratva #3
Filthy Devil
He may look like an angel, but he's all sin.
Evie
An abusive father and a job as a night janitor. Yeah, life doesn't get much better than this.
I'm convinced my future is a bleak one, but then I accidentally rear-end an Aston Martin. The driver is the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
Valeri Medvedev is a man I would happily fall on my knees to worship. I had no idea he was a dangerous Bratva boss. All I saw was the sexy smile, the dimple on his cheek, and the body that made my mouth water.
I was blinded by him…and then I found out the truth.
He's dangerous. He's a killer.
And I'm the one he wants.
Valeri
For the first time in my life, I'm obsessed with a woman.
When Evie hit my car, she became mine. Mine to protect. Mine to claim. Mine to possess.
I shouldn't be allowed to touch something so innocent…but I will. I'm going to lay her down and show her all the depraved things I want to do to her.
Soon, she'll be screaming my name and embracing the darkness that only I can give her.
This is the third book in the Medvedev Bratva series of interconnected standalones, but best enjoyed in order. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and an HEA is always guaranteed! Intended for mature listeners.

5/5 "you're my home"
TROPES:

~abused heroine
~bit of a slow burn
Wow, I absolutely adore this book! It's about a twenty year old girl, Evie, trying to deal with life with an abusive (physically & mentally) father. She works nightly as a janitor. One day, she uses her dad's truck and accidentally rear-ends an Aston Martin, causing damage to both vehicles. Valeri (H) goes easy on her when he realizes how terrified Evie was. He's smitten with her at first sight and wants to figure out everything she's hiding.
I want to possess every goddamn inch of you. I want your body, your mind, your soul, your every fucking breath.
Evie is cautious with her feelings, but they're truly soulmates so there was no tearing them apart. Even when she found out he runs the Bratva in the city. Vasily is incredibly protective, possessive, and gentle with her. It was refreshing to see that in a Bratva book! Now don't get me wrong, he's not a softie... Just only with her. <3 He is a manwhore but doesn't even look at another woman after he sees Evie the first time.
"You're my whole world, Evie. You're staring up at the stars, but my whole universe is in my arms. Nothing exists for me without you."
There was an incredible amount of spice in this book, I enjoyed it!
His face glistens with my release, and the sight of it awakens some savage, possessive part of myself. As soon as he's close enough, I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down before running my tongue over his wet chin.
"You should always taste like my pussy," I tell him.
"Goddamn," he groans. "My girl's gone feral."
Sonja Grey's books are ALWAYS top tier! Five stars.
"Every part of you belongs to me, lapochka (sweetheart). Your body, your tears," he drags one finger along my throat. "Even the goddamn air you breathe. I want it all."
SAFETY:
Ages: 20/21h, 27H
Virgin/celibate: virgin heroine, manwhore hero
OM/OW drama: slight OW, but Valeri handles the girl.
Cheating/sharing: none
Triggers: abusive/alcoholic parent, physical violence to FMC (not by H), violence, pregnancy, on-page childbirth
Kinks: breathplay, anal, dry humping, praise- all the "good girls", edging, swaddling, public sex in an alley & some playtime in a diner, temperature play (ice), light bdsm
HEA?: yes!

did-not-finish
December 8, 2023DNF @ 44%.
I tried to get past his reputation, which I did in the beginning, until the club scene, where his two previous hookups showed up and made Evie feel like shit. Though he said he was sorry for his past and couldn't do anything about it, this scene still made me furious.
Evie didn't make it any better. After feeling insecure and hurt because of the reminders of his past, she only got mad for a few minutes. Then, after some apologies from Valeri and the assurance that there's no one else for him, everything went well between them again. Ugh!
It's also cringey that they dropped the love bomb after that scene. I mean, ewwww after seeing the glaring proof of his lifestyle, why would she still consider being with him? If I were her, I'd probably run as fast as I could; I don't think I can be with someone like that.
Then again, this is their story, and they're supposed to find their HEA. But I'm done with this book; I'm not interested anymore in seeing what will happen to them.

Az spoiler içerebilir
Seri bittiii.
Genel olarak sevdiğim bir seri oldu. Beni rahatsız eden şeyler olmadı sevdim.
Lakin favorim ilk kitap. 2 ve 3.kitap bana göre biraz sıkıcı geçti. Tabi ben üst üste okuduğum için bunalmış da olabilirim.
Valeri/Evie
27/21
Virgin fmc
Hafif ow drama
Hea
Ona dokun ve öl
Bratva
Kız adamın arabasına çarpıyor ve tanışıyorlar adam direk çarpılıyor klasik.
Peşinden koşuyor ve sonra ilişkiye başlıyorlar.
Kızın babası istismarci bir pislik yaşadıkları zordu.
Adam bir erkek orospusu nefret ediyorum bu durumdan ama maalesef öyle.
Üç kardeş öyleydi yine de bir ow dramasi görmedik şükür. Bu kitapta biraz vardı ama yüz göz olmadık diyelim🙄
Spoiiiii
Sonunda evleniyorlar hamile oğulları oldu
Kitabın sonunda sanki 2.gen gelecekmiş vibe aldim
3 kardeşin 3 oğlu oldu onların hikayesi olabilir diyorum.
Genel olarak seri güzeldi okunabilir bir mafya serisi. Tekrar okunur belki. Favorim ilk kitap, 2 ve 3 eşit gözümde ortalama
Mafya sevenlere tavsiyemdir. Seriyi seversiniz.
Ben 1 ay kadar mafya okumak istemiyorum. 1 ay sonra görüşürüz

I don‘t really know what to say about her. She’s lovely, yes. But sooo boring.
❥ 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒊
I reaaallyy liked him in the previous books but in this book his character felt flat and kinda boring. He was the same blueprint like his brothers: protective and possessive, instant in love with his girl and super sweet. (boring af)
✥ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌
There was literally nothing new.
Of course the plot changes but the love story just repeats itself. The hot mafiaboss saves the little girl and they fell in love (instantly of course). I got the feeling the author uses the same characters each time and just gives them new names - this is so boring. I expected much more from Valeris book.
The series is good to just enjoy cliché and cute romances without drama. But when you want to read something with a thrilling plot and love story this is nothing for you. After two books with the same outline I just can‘t read this anymore, it annoys me.

3,8 💫 | Los hombres deben estar obligados a LLORAR cuando ven a su mujer parir a su bebé o cuando la vean cruzar por el altar.
Este fue muuuucho más cute y me encantó 💖. Valeri es la clase de protagonistas que sí me gusta leer. Es dulce, hot y rico 🙏 jskaja. También algo cuestionable 🥴.
Sabía que Valeri sería mi favorito, me alegra no haberme equivocado. Evie también me gustó, siento que yo sería ella si me pasara lo que a ella 😂.
De verdad tiene escenas super dulces y lindas, todo el libro me encantó, pero la primera parte es mi favorita ✨ ver a Valeri intentando conseguir una cita con Evie, la cita, el nerviosismo 💗. Cute.
Siento que Valeri es una mezcla de Vitaly y Luca Melnikov jskajak mis favs, así que obvio este me iba a gustar 💖.
Eso sí, este es el más spicy. Ojito si eso no te gusta tanto.
Spoiler (también del último libro de los Melnikov):
En el epílogo salen todos los hijos en total y salió Natalia 😭 la que será la protagonista del siguiente libro en la serie de los Melnikov. La pareja de Max. Y lloro 🤧. Ver a su padre super girly con su hija me muestra que me va a doler su libro. El secuestro va estar juerte. Pero a la vez me emociona mucho el que las dos familias se vayan a unir para rescatarlos, ya necesito leerlo!!!

3 stars!!
I knew I was going to love Valeri despite him being a complete manwhore. There was just something about him that told me he was going to fall hard and he definitely did.
The minute he meets Evie when she rear ends his precious car he’s a goner. I loved how obsessed he was with her. He was so damn sweet with her, like swoon worthy sweet. And Evie herself was just plain sweet.
However them and the other couples were probably the only thing I liked about this book. There wasn’t much of a story line like the others in this series. Also I didn’t appreciate Evie being torn down by not one but two of his previous one night stands. I mean he did everything in his power not to let Evie feel a certain way about it so I did appreciate that. I even liked how he deleted everything from his phone that pertained to another woman and he bought her a house because he didn’t want memories of other woman to be there they lived.
But this book was just filled with sex. I know, I say this in every review I write for this author but this one was so excessive. I kid you not when I say there were 10 plus sex scenes in this book. I’m not exaggerating when I say this book was 60% sex and 40% whatever else. I read the first few and then I had to skip the rest because come on why the hell are they so long?! I also felt like this book was filled with fluff. I get it’s the last in the series but so much was stuffed into the last 20% in the book. Them getting a place, them getting engaged, them getting pregnant and then having their baby. All of that was the last 20% so I honestly skipped all that because there wasn’t anything interesting happening.
These stars are for the characters and the writing alone.

Валери Медведев (27) и Иви (21)
📣🚨🛑РЕВЮ СЪДЪРЖАЩО СПОЙЛЕРИ🛑🚨📣
Иви живее само със своя баща пияница, който обича да я бие и да я обижда. Свикнала от ученичка да се крие зад неугледна външност, тя няма приятели и не ходи никъде. Нощем чисти националната библиотека, а през деня спи, за да избяга от реалността, като гледа да не се появява пред погледа на вечно гневният си баща и на гадния му приятел, конто изглежда й е хвърлил око.
Една сутрин прибирайки се от работа, тя заварва бележка от баща си че трябва да купи тоалетна хартия и знаейки, че мъжа е заспал пиян, тя решава да вземе любимата му кола, за да отиде до магазина. Изтощена и недоспала обаче на светофар тя удря колата спряла пред нея. Така Иви се запознава с най-чаровният и мил мъж, който някога е среащала.
Валери е отегчен от мимолетни връзки, и усеща как започва да завижда на братята си затова че имат съпруги и деца. Но всички жени около Валери са опиянени от властта, положението и парите му, а той иска жена, която да го обича заради самият него.
Когато чисто новата му кола бива блъсната от една срамежлива млада жена, Валери прави всичко по силите си да й помогне, защото тя изглежда така ужасена от случилото се. Дни след това той не може да си я избие от ума. Иви няма идея кой и какъв е той, а невинността й го привлича като магнит, и той ще трябва да вложи целият си чар, за да спечели притеснителната жена.
Много ми хареса книгата, беше лека и приятна. Иви беше доста затворена и неуверена героиня, а Валери доста настоятелен, като куче с кокал просто не се отказваше, искаше я и направи всичко, за да я получи.
Хареса ми колко мил, съобразителен и галантен беше той. Как искаше да се грижи за нея и да я защитава. Хареса ми колко бързо я приеха останалите две двойки и другите второстепенни герои. Соня Грей успява всеки път да завладее читателя с оригинална и интересна история. Нямам търпение да започне да пише за втората генерация Медведев и да прочетем историите на децата на трите двойки.

La historia de Valeri y Evie es linda porque el se dió cuenta desde un principio de la violencia que pasaba en su casa y quiso ayudarla, lo mas destacado en el fue que sabía que era una chica sin experiencia y siempre tuvo paciencia, cuidado y respeto a la hora de experimentar juntos.
El drama fue cortito y se resolvió todo demasiado rápido para mi gusto y al final sentí que había demasiado relleno con la vida sexual de los personajes y que se podía centrar mas la historia en su futuro estando juntos y no tanto en ese tema.
En fin los libros se leen super rápido y para pasar un fin de semana metidos en el mundo mafioso sirven perfectamente 📚🧚🏻♀️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Fiery, Mafia-Laced, Heart-Squeezing Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
FILTHY DEVIL by Sonja Grey
🔥 Mafia Romance • 💘 Soulmates • 😈 Possessive Alpha • 🕊️ Sweet Shy Heroine
Okay, let’s just start by saying… Valeri Medvedev has entered the chat and officially stolen my heart, my sanity, and possibly my last name 😍. If you thought his brothers were swoon-worthy, wait until you meet this flirty, cocky, and devastatingly loyal Bratva boss.
This story takes all the best parts of a mafia romance: danger, passion, loyalty, found family and wraps it up in the softest, sweetest love story between a hardened Bratva leader and the shy, broken girl who accidentally crashes into his world (literally). 💥🚗💋
💫 Meet Our Queen: Evie Finch
Evie is just twenty, sweet as sugar, and trying her best to survive an abusive home. She’s invisible by design, quiet, hardworking, and carrying more trauma than anyone her age should. Her nights are spent cleaning floors, not partying, and her days are spent avoiding her father’s rage. My heart ached for her 😭.
But when she accidentally rear-ends Valeri’s shiny new car (oops 😬), her carefully hidden life comes crashing down. Instead of fury, she’s met with something far more dangerous… compassion. And that’s when Valeri decides she’s his.
😈 Enter: Valeri Medvedev
Oh, Valeri… the charming, dimpled, lethal golden retriever of the Bratva world. 🐾 He’s all sharp suits, sharper words, and an unshakable protectiveness that will make your knees weak.
The man was a certified playboy before Evie, but the second he meets her, it’s tunnel vision. He’s done. He doesn’t even look at another woman. His mix of dirty talk, possessiveness, and soft tenderness? Chef’s kiss. 👨🍳💋
He’s rough around the edges, yes, but with Evie, he becomes a complete goner patient, gentle, and oh-so-devoted. Watching him fall was like watching a lion curl up with a kitten 🦁🐱💞.
💕 Their Chemistry = SPICE & SUGAR COMBO PERFECTION
Sonja Grey absolutely nails the balance of emotional depth and scorching heat. One moment you’re melting over Valeri whispering Russian endearments like “lapochka,” and the next, you’re fanning yourself because WHOA 😳🔥 these two know how to turn up the temperature.
The spice? Abundant.
The tenderness? Heart-melting.
The alley scene? Controversial but HOT. 😅
You can truly feel their connection grow not just lust, but trust, healing, and a bond that screams soulmates.
🧨 What I Loved Most
✨ Valeri’s protectiveness. “Touch her and die” has never sounded sexier.
✨ Evie’s growth. She starts timid and ends up strong, free, and fiercely loved.
✨ The brothers’ banter! Their teasing adds so much heart and humor.
✨ The pacing. Perfect balance of mafia drama, suspense, and intimacy.
✨ That ending. A beautiful, satisfying HEA that ties the whole Medvedev trilogy together.
🖤 Final Thoughts
Filthy Devil is everything I crave in a dark romance: danger, desire, devotion, and a heroine who learns to see her worth through the eyes of a man who would burn the world to protect her. Valeri and Evie are the definition of opposites attracting in the most explosive, heartwarming way.
Sonja Grey delivers yet another mafia masterpiece that’s not just about power and violence, but about healing, found family, and unconditional love. 🥀💎
So grab your wine, lock the door, and prepare for an all-nighter because once you meet Valeri Medvedev, you won’t be coming up for air. 😈💋
🌹Final Rating:
💣 Mafia Intensity – 9/10
🔥 Spice Level – 11/10
💞 Emotional Feels – 10/10
💀 Protective Alpha Energy – off the charts
💍 HEA Satisfaction – beyond perfect
“You’re my whole world, lapochka. My universe exists only in your arms.” 🥹💞
And I can't wait for the second-generation series. I'm just so in love with this author

valeri and evie💌
- 2.5⭐️
this was the last book in the series, and i was disappointed. i liked the first half of this book, but after that it was like sex EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER (and that’s fine, i don’t mind but i personally prefer when they connect to each other by affection & show their love to each other by acts of service, or quality time.) another thing that didn’t sit right with me, was the fact that they got married & pregnant so quickly! like literally a month…this book could’ve been cut in half - there were a lot of unnecessary chapters.
AND PLEASE CAN THE FMC HAVE A DAUGHTER FIRST!! EVERY SINGLE BOOK OF HERS IVE READ THEY ALWAYS HAVE A SON, LIKE PLEASE WE NEED TO SEE A DAD+DAUGHTER INTERACTION.
overall, this book was definitely my least favourite! i thought they were cute together but i don’t realistically see them lasting forever! as the feelings were so rushed & everything moved so quickly. (i didn’t feel like she got to know him at all!)

It's funny how a car accident totally changed Evie's life for the better. Of course that isn't saying much, as her home life was crap! Even hitting a normal person would probably have been better. But hitting Valeri and him becoming smitten with her was just the thing. It was great that Valeri took the time to get to know Evie and move slow (in his head anyway). I loved that Evie took the out she was given, how she wanted to help those that had helped her. I sort of wished she wouldn't have held Valeri back with her father, that man deserved everything that came towards him. The ending was great! Loved seeing the 3 brothers and the families still enjoying spending time together and everyone happy.

This is the final book of the Medvedev brothers, this, like the previous 2 is about one of the brothers falling madly in love, & these brothers fall fast & hard. It’s a cute love story with a little bit of violence.
There isn’t really much of a storyline other than the MC’s falling in love & it’s nearly identical to the first too.
It is an easy read but lacks excitement.

December 27, 2023I got to 50% but its just so boring that I have no desire to keep going.
I don’t understand why the heroine wouldn’t just leave her abusive father. She was an adult not a minor. Hero wasn’t very mafia type more boy next door.

“Filthy Devil” is the story of Evie and Valeri.
Actually a pretty sweet book in which the alpha bad boy hero rescues the heroine from an abusive household, and makes her his.
Loads of sex in this one leading to a HEA.
Safe
3/5

Great series
I've enjoyed the whole series. It's nice to have a set of books about men who are loyal to the women they love.

Part of the Medvedev Bratva series each book can be read as a standalone with a sexy mafia man and the women he chooses. So be sure you hang on and 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 (ALL THINGS TO EXPECT FROM THE MAFIA WORLD). By the time you’ve figured out who is who and what is what, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter! CAN’T SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED!!!!! Valeri sexy as all get out bratva boss ruthless when needed, dangerous, deadly on a good day, protect those he loves even though he makes fun of his brothers for finding becoming soft due to their wives and usually gets who/what he wants that just happens to be the little women who hit him. Evie such a sweetheart, shy, an extreme introvert, works hard, does her best to be invisible and the moment to hits the back of the sexy man’s car her world changes. But fate has stepped in taking over all control ensuring they meet in the weirdest way making that tough boss realize what he has been missing but it was amazing reading a big old tough bratva boss with the patience, tenderness and will to not push her but don’t get it twisted he was still his bossy, controlling self but when it came to her protection was his main goal and he wasn’t going to let anyone stop him from loving his girl nor was he going to allow anyone to keep dragging her down but will she be strong enough to walk away from the toxicity of her family life, will he prove that while he may be tough he is also gentle, will she trust that he will protect her and can she finely have freedom, happiness?.

Valeri and Evie are such a yummy couple. I love their meet cute – a car wreck. Evie has had such a hard life, but Valeri is there for her. Having read the previous books and knowing Valeri and his playboy ways, I knew he would need a strong, caring, and beautiful soul. We have that in Evie.
The suspense in this book works perfectly with the amped up spice in this book and wow, is it spicy. It's not quite as suspenseful as the first two books, but it actually works for me. I love the focus on the whole family and the steaminess 🔥🔥🔥.
If you enjoy mafia books, I recommend this book. This is book 3 in the Medvedev Bratva series. It is technically a standalone, but reading them in order would definitely help you enjoy them more!!!.

⭐️⭐️
This was a mess to me. I hate to be a hater but my god this brought me back to my middle school Wattpad days. MC is 27 but this book feels like cringey teenage insta love. And I’m a big fan of fast burn but it just didn’t make any sense to me. I also skimmed through the last 5ish chapters, I couldn’t handle it. It really felt like nothing was building just a whole lot of sex after 50%. I prefer books with no third act breakup but there should be at least a little conflict outside of the relationship of something, instead we got a (maybe a spoiler idc) speed run of a bought house on the beach, a proposal, family dinner, wedding, pregnancy discovery, and a whole birth in like 2 chapters.
Also one of my biggest pet peeves is unnecessarily long chapters. 20+ pages in every chapter drives me nuts, break up the days activities into multiple chapters please try and separate some things so it doesn’t all blend into one big mess.

2 All the Books in this Series is the Same Stars
I hate insta love. Loathe it.
Every book in this damn series follows the same plot formula.
Girl in distress. Girl is much shorter than guy (this seems oddly specific but each damn girl in this series is so much smaller than the dude and the author makes sure you know that). Guy sees girl. Guy saves girl. Guy immediately loves girl. Throw in one-two external mafia problems that are resolved quickly. Guy and girl have loads of sex. Guy is mushy sweet to his girl. Like over the top makes me nauseated sweet. External threats are over. Now just read about sex, more sex, marriage proposal, more sex, wedding, sex, sex, sex, then baby. The end.

The last of the Medvedev brother's
We get the third and final book of the Medvedev brother's with Valeri. Sonja has nicely wrapped their story up in a nice Epilogue at the end to update us on all the brothers.
We begin only a year or so after Valeri got shot. We already got hints that his older brothers were worried it might change him; and it does. Although, through his brothers books Valeri has been a carefree laughing, teasing, good time guy. After getting shot and getting nephews his so close to he starts feeling a lose he can't fill.
We also meet a very, very depressed Evie with a sad life, hard life, horrible and fearful father and just trying to get through life being invisible.
(I won't give too much away)
The way they meet is hilarious and then the way things develop are done in a way for Evie to lead the relationship. At the first meeting Valeri's senses perk up at things he notices and hears Evie say or do. And as we know the Medvedev brother's have a big problem with men abusing women. But that isn't what instigates or causes the relationship to develop.
The funny things that happen in this book are great and telling because they reiterate the support she will get from the other 2 wives and his family being hers now. Also, the brotherly things that are carried out through the 3 books all lead back to some behaviour that Valeri does with his little boy.
Throughout the 3 books Sonja introduced us to different customs or acts that are followed in the Bratva. A new one in each book, I really enjoyed this because there isn't usually a necessary tattoo needed, and there isn't usually certain customs explained but it makes the females that are coming into the relationship/family/Bratva to understand and also gives alot more meaning to their relationship and the growth of it. So I've enjoyed that in this Medvedev Bratva Series.
Now to get down to the steamy scenes. Again we have some great steamy, sexy, loving, romantic and intense love scenes. We always get a good variety with Sonja's books and the MMC always has predilection for a different kink or type because no one is the same. While Valeri isn't as predatory as Volodya he still has plenty to teach Evie. And we never get skimped on details.
I also very much enjoyed the continual carry over side characters that were throughout the 3 books. As we went through the few years we got a bit more information on their life or their personality.
Finally, I just have to say how much I enjoyed this series in particular. There may have been some grammar mistakes (especially for a selling book) but only very minor and rarely. But this series is Sonja's best yet. We get very big personalities but introduced very gradually. We get great love stories with some stories (like Valeri's) that can happen in real life. We get a great variety of scenes; some being that some authors won't mention but not everyone likes it the same ways.
These 3 books are going into my 'keep' folder and with plenty of bookmarks for my favourite scenes. I can re-read whenever I feel a little lonely. 😉

"Enduring isn't the same thing as fighting." pg. 80
I've read a few of Sonja Grey's books, and after reading this one I will continue to read her books. I loved this one. Sometimes insta-infatuation/insta-love can be super cringy, but it wasn't in this case. Valeri saw something in Evie when they met that made him want to protect her, and own her. He was willing to do what it took to prove to her that his intentions were pure, despite her lack of self confidence making her second guess everything he does. He was patient with her and willing to continue to tell her how amazing and beautiful he saw her. I like that she was also willing to accept the aspect of his life that were a bit questionable. They are 100% soulmates, and their story is one that I see myself reading again.
The only thing I didn't like was the alley sex scene. I could have done without that.
(I had skipped the second book in the Medvedev Bratva but after loving the first one, and this one so much, I am going back to read it!)
***Spoilers Ahead***
Evie is just trying to survive. She deals with her father's emotional and physical abuse and still takes care of him. She works nightly as a janitor at a library in the city at night so that she can fade into the background both in the world and also so that she can avoid her father by sleeping during the day at home.
But when she accidentally hits Valeri's car, disappearing into his background isn't an option. From the moment Valeri saw Evie something about her was calling to him. Despite her being the one to hit his car, he gets the vehicle she was driving (which happens to be her father's truck) fixed right away and wants to find any reason to keep seeing her.
But Evie has no interest in relationships. Her father's reaction being the main reason why. She's not sure she will survive his reactions to her having a boyfriend. On top of that she also learns that he promised her to his sleezy friend, Lyle?!
At first Evie isn't convinced that Valeri's intentions are pure. She thinks that there is no way he could be interested in her. But Valeri continues to do what it takes to convince Evie that he really is interested in her, more than that, she is his. Especially since he knows what is going on at home.
"When you look in the mirror, this is the bruise I want you to focus on." pg 77
As their relationship grows and Evie learns to trust in Valeri's intentions, other outside problems arise. Luckily, Valeri isn't just some rich business man, he is a bratva boss with brothers in his corner to help.

Evie is shy and sweet. She has built walls around herself in order to keep her head down and away from the wrath of her father. She will distance herself from others, except her friends Gale and Jerry, and tries not to let anything phase her. Despite having to fortify these protective walls, she is kind and down to earth, and will light up at simple pleasures.
Valeri is the carefree, youngest Mevbedev brother who loves is bachelor life, but an unexpected meet cute with Evie literally crashing into his life changes everything. He might not seem as cold or brutal as his brothers and has a sunny disposition, but he will move mountains for those he cares about and for the Bratva. He also is somewhat of a golden retriever/teddy bear, very perceptive and accommodating, and will take matters into his own hands.
The two of them are so cute together. While Evie is at first resistant to their coupling due to her low self-esteem, her innocent and honest character is what draws Valeri in the moment he sees her and he he a man on a mission. He is very tender and loyal towards Evie and loves to take care of her. He also tries to make sure she sees just how perfect she is and will let her make decisions she is comfortable with. He definitely falls first. Evie in turn brings out the best in Valeri. You really get to see his soft and gentler side for her but also his more ruthless side when need be. You also see how important family is to them. You really root for this couple and can’t help but smile when they are together. Their banter is endearing.
Moreover, we see the return of Nina and Vasily, Maddie and Volodya, their children, and a few other familiar faces of the Medvedev Bratva. It was great seeing where they are, and while it’s possible to read this book without having read the previous two, I’d still recommend reading those two because they are also great reads and these couples and characters will have your heart from the get-go.
Along with the romance, we have some action and suspense with the Bratva, though the story focuses mainly on Valeri and Evie’s burgeoning relationship. The writing and pacing was also done well, never letting the story drag or feeling too rushed.
Overall this was a great read and one I really enjoyed.

“I’ve never loved anyone, Evie Finch, but I f****** love you.”
Valeri Medvedev is a powerful Bratva boss that is dangerous and lethal just like his two brothers. Evie Finch is a shy and quiet young woman that is hard working with a tough home life. She does her best to stay invisible, but she manages to catch Valeri’s attention after rear-ending his car. It was fate for the pair to meet! Valeri always made fun of his brothers for being total softies with their women, but now it’s his turn.
I have read every single one of this author’s publications and Filthy Devil is by far my absolute favorite one to date! Valeri is a big bad bratva boss but a total softy with Evie. He was sweet, patient, kind, understanding, and charming. Evie carried so much baggage and trauma, but Valeri was absolutely amazing with helping sort through her issues. He’s very protective, possessive, and obsessive. He would burn the world down for Evie. He also took everything slow and soft with Evie, as he knew she was extremely inexperienced. *sigh* Just the perfect book boyfriend!
Another stellar job by this author and I cannot wait for her to expand and focus on the kids grown up for future installments!
Tropes: Mafia romance, contemporary romance, dark romance, age gap, anti-hero, villain gets the girl, virgin heroine, breeding, pregnancy, happily-ever-after
Heat: 3/5.
