The Kornilov Bratva brothers ruined my life. Fedor attacked me and shattered my innocence. Then his brother Viktor forced me into a fake marriage I never asked for.
Now, I’m caught in the middle of a war between them. And if that’s not enough… It turns out I’m pregnant again.
One baby by each brother. Two sides of a bloody conflict that can only end in death and destruction.
But I know one thing for certain: I’ll pay any price it takes to keep my children safe. Even if that price is my life.
Nicole Fox writes smart, sexy mafia romance novels. She is a crazy cat lady in her late 30s with a coffee addiction, an overactive imagination, and a husband who somehow puts up with her impulsive need to keep buying new plants for their house.
Ahhh, the dreaded curse of sequel that couldn't hold up to the first story. The storytelling itself wasn't bad, but the characters were horrible. Molly was so freaking irritating, UNGRATEFUL and stubborn past the point of frustration. I could hardly stand her. Even if she didn't believe Viktor was in love with her (though he WAS), he was helping to keep her, Theo and their baby alive in the best way he knew how, and she refused to give him an inch. She was repeatedly argumentative, rude, and obstinate to Viktor, and it got so old. And Viktor turned into the biggest idiot in this story, getting his men killed, letting his psycho brother steal the majority of what was left, and losing respect from those few who stuck around. All the while STILL making excuses for his psycho, rapist, murdering brother. He really was a terrible leader. These two weren't the brightest bulbs when it came to figuring out who their real friends and enemies were either. I had to really push through this one to finish it. So bummed because the first story was so much better and this one was such a let down in comparison.
This was book 2 in the "Kornilov Bratva Duet" Viktor is in an all out war with his little brother, Fedor he wants Molly dead and he wants his son Theo. This was a good read. The chemistry between Victor and Molly was hot. Molly has a lot going on she finds out that she is pregnant by Victor and hiding from his psycho brother. Victor finds an ally with Seamus and the Irish Mafia because his brother has the Italians on his side. I agree with Victor I didn't like her friend Hannah either. This was a good read this book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling.
I like book 1 but book 2 was terrible! I never read about a weak Mafia Boss nobody was afraid of him not even he’s annoying wife and friend. The heroine was so annoying I want to scream at her.
Nicole Fox has done it again with the Kornilov Bratva Duet! Viktor and Molly's story is a mad rollercoaster of emotions, passion, betrayal, and revenge. I love how conflicted they both are, but the minute they are in each others arms, the world seems right. Fedor has got to be one of the baddest of bad guys/brothers.,ever. The story is very well paced, has great twists and turns, and down right shocking surprises. And oh so much steam. I would love to Petr resolve his relationship. Fantastic ending to Kornilov Bratva Duet!! And this is another great title available to read for free with your KU subscription.

More of a 4.5 versus a solid 5. Pretty good closing to the duet/series. I anticipated a few things (ie Hannah) and was a little annoyed that the characters didn’t catch her full role beforehand. Her role and its overall progress was needed for the last big act, but still. It annoyed me, especially with how paranoid/“paranoid” strong dons/mafiosos/mob-leaders naturally are (and how they are described in the book). I really liked the character arc/progression of the FMC and MMC.
Second book in this duet series, this damaged couple with a beautiful child have to fight to stay together and alive. Brilliant writing and very tense story, great ending with a brilliant plot and a few surprises. Excellent reading
Victor & Molly have a fast-paced & so much drama. Great chemistry between the characters. I received a free copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This is the second book in this duet, Molly is terrified that Fedor will kill her and take their son. Viktor and Molly are in love and now she is pregnant with is child. Can Viktor keep Molly safe? Will is men stay loyal and can he keep his power in the bratva? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, steam and intense chemistry. Amazing characters, with loads of drama, suspense and twists and turns. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it.
Molly now lives with her son Theo in an apartment provided by Viktor to protect them from his brother Fedor. But those are not the only protections that Viktor wants for them. He convinces Molly to marry him ( again) and participate in the Bratva loyalty oath ceremony, thus ensuring the loyalty and protection of all Viktor’s men as the new Queen of the Bratva. Viktor is losing more and more men either bc his brother kills them or bc they change sides. He has also won the support of the Italians, so Viktor has to turn to the Irish mafia if he wants to have any change of winning this war. Also, the relationship between Viktor and a Molly is still very confusing. Molly loves Viktor but she doesn’t know if she loves him enough to accept the life he leads. She has to think about both Theo and her unborn baby( conceived in the night of their first fake marriage). Viktor knows that he wants to be with Molly at all costs, and is very difficult for him to leave it to her to make the decision of whether at the end of everything she wants to stay by his side. This second part will keep you on edge until the end. 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨
Molly vive ahora junto a su hijo Theo en un apartamento provisto por Viktor para protegerlos de su hermano Fedor. Pero esa no son las únicas protecciones que Viktor quiere para ellos. Convence a Molly de que se case con él y participe en la ceremonia de juramento de lealtad a la Bratva, asegurándose así la lealtad y protección de todos los hombres de Viktor como nueva reina de la Bratva. Viktor cada vez está perdiendo cada vez más hombres o bien porque su hermano los mata o porque cambian de bando. Además ha conseguido el apoyo de los italianos, así que Viktor tiene que recurrir a la mafia irlandesa si quiere tener alguna posibilidad de ganar esta guerra. Además la relación entre Viktor y Molly aún es muy confusa. Molly quiere a Viktor pero no sabe si lo quiere suficiente como para aceptar la vida que lleva. Tiene que pensar tanto en el bienestar de Theo como en el de su bebé no nacido, el hijo que ella y Viktor concibieron después de su primera boda falsa. Viktor sabe que quiere estar con Molly a toda costa, y le cuesta verdadero trabajo dejar que sea ella la que tome la decisión de si al final de todo quiere permanecer a su lado. Esta segunda parte te mantendrá en vilo hasta el final.

Everything is just so predictable. Still had a hard time believing Viktor was the leader of the Bravta. He wasn’t intimidating & didn’t have the right mind set. His men had zero loyalty to him. He just continues to let his nut job brother Fedor off the hook for his violent actions without any retaliation. I felt like the entire book is Viktor trying to comfort and convince Molly that he can protect her, Theo & the baby from Fedor. Not a fan of the awkward way she acted towards him when they weren’t fucking.
Not sure what to say about this book except that Viktor was no Bratva. He is a small time Don. I don't understand how Fedor is getting away with so.much when he is out on parole awaiting his tria. Was he checked with his parole officer between killings? As a Mafia/Bratva book this was lacking.

I enjoyed the first book in this duet, and this continued with a enjoyable finale. However something I've found with this authors work is there is often inconsistencies in the storyline which irritates me. It didn't take long into this book before I found something which wasn't consistent with information given in book one surrounding the death of Viktors parents, plus other minor issues. It just saddens me and makes me feel as though the characters don't mean much to the author if she can't get their back story straight. Married to the Dom. : quote : Ever since our mom died, I’ve looked out for my brother. Dad was too busy running the Bratva and killing people to come home to his kids, Quote: Because in my eyes, he will always be five. Five and crying next to our mother’s open casket. The mortician put her in an uncharacteristic long-sleeved dress to hide the track marks on her arms. Quote: my men want to return to the lifestyle that got their previous leader shot between the eyes by a rival. (This implies Victors father, the aforementioned previous leader was shot) Yet in the following book....
Til death do us part: Quote: “Did I ever tell you how my parents died?” Quote: “It was a fire while we were sleeping.
Later Fedor says he has placed a bug at Georges dinner in the seat Viktor uses, so knew what Viktor had discussed with George, but earlier in the book when the mentioned meeting took place they hadn't spoken inside the diner, they had gone outside.
This for me just ruins what would have been a great book. It's such a shame because without these little errors the writing and storylines are good and the book would be so much better.
Molly and Viktor have settled into a stalemate routine since Viktor locked her in her bedroom. She now has a penthouse apartment that she lives in with Theo. She’s studying interior design online. Viktor has stationed guards outside to make sure they both have 24/7 protection and drops by to visit Theo as often as he can. But loyalty is hard to buy and even harder when the price is doubled by their enemy Fedor. When Molly finds herself unprotected when a masked man walks in carrying Theo, Viktor knows that the only answer to better protect them and their unborn child is another fake marriage but this time followed by a Bratva ceremony, where his men recognise Molly as their Bratva Queen. As things quieten down between them, Hannah’s old friend returns into her life. She’s in a bad place and she helped Molly when the shoe was on the other foot. Viktor doesn’t like her and although he has promised Molly that she can walk away from everything once the threat from Fedor has been neutralised, the more time he spends with her and Theo, the more he wonders how he can ever let them go. This is a fabulous finish to the series with as much action, betrayal and passion as the first half. The story is similar but the storyline very different which keeps you on your toes to the end. The characters are further enhanced and the circumstances they find themselves in aren’t repeated but new and equally disturbing. Yet another well written, interesting and intriguing book by Nicole. Absolutely fantastic!

Second part of this series, wonderful read… Continuing the wonderful first half of this Bratva story where we find Molly and her son Theo still being terrorised by the rapist father Fedor who has now totally lost any rationale he ever had and is now simply killing indiscriminately, men, women and even children he has completely lost the plot. Viktor is doing everything possible to keep Molly and Theo safe especially now that she is expecting again but he knows that the respect and the loyalty of his brother Bratva is a hard won thing and now that there is an obvious mole in their midst he is trying to discover who it could be, never in his wildest dreams could he have guessed the culprit and the extent they would go to even though Molly tries to help and care for any one that requests her assistance. Viktor has called on the assistance of the Irish leader Seamus and his wife Niamh who have become not only support on the front line but also Molly has found a firm and generous female friend with whom she has been using some of her interior designing talent. However, through all this they are constantly aware of the threat from Viktors brother Fedor, who wants his son to raise and Molly dead. Once again, another captivating read from the excellent pen of Nicole Fox, I cannot wait for her next title as she never fails to impress. I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
Intrigue, betrayal, heartbreak, this book has it all. It also has fierce love and devotion. After the first book, what was just an arrangement with Viktor, meant to protect Molly and Theo turns into something more. A war between two fractions of the Bratva - between two brothers. The story continues on with this brutal and vicious feud that began with a choice. There's violence, distrust, and betrayal on both sides, but Viktor will do everything in his power to protect his new family. It's in every thought and deed to keep them safe.
I think what sells this book and series for me is Viktor. It's his ability, despite how brutal and cold he can be, to open his heart to Molly and Theo. His devotion to her is swoon-worthy. She isn't my fav character and I found I often wanted to shake her, but it was Viktor's love that made this character grow and develop into the fierce, confident woman by his side. His unwavering love and what he goes through, show his commitment to make was an arrangement into something more. It's a thing of beauty.
The only negative was the inconsistencies with Viktor's parents. Aft one point the mother died when they were young, then it changed to the parents dying in a fire. Backstory things like that annoy me. If the author can't be bothered to keep it straight, why bother bringing it up in the first place?

In book 1, Married to the Don, Viktor and Molly are together by necessity first - for her safety and Theo’s safety - and by growing attraction second.
The story continues with the war between Bratva factions lead by the two brothers. There is distrust, betrayal, and violence on both sides but in every case Viktor’s first and last thought are with the safety of his new family before the notion of consolidating power.
Without a doubt, I loved this story because of Viktor. He killed people when he had to. He was formidable with his fists. But through all that, this serious, loving man struggled with the betrayal of the brother he raised after their parents died. He kept believing his brother was better than what he had become. In the end that wasn’t enough.
Molly was his lifeline, his queen and his restraint and devotion where she was concerned just made him that much hotter and swoon worthy. Even vulnerable enough to make mistakes at critical times, I could not find any fault with Viktor.
The best kind of alpha is one with unwavering devotion, protective and one who makes his woman know she is the only one for him and she is then helpless to resist him.

I pinch her chin between my thumb and forefinger and gaze into her eyes, opening the door to my heart so she can see inside. To every dirty, dusty corner. To every cracked wall and water-stained ceiling tile.
Omg! I can't believe everything that happens in a book! I love Nicole stories and this closure for the second part of this story did not disappoint!
Full of action-packed, romance, sexy moments and that attraction between the characters it's what makes this book one of my favorites.
Viktor's love for Molly is even stronger in this book and I couldn't have expected any less. He's so fond and caring of her and her family and that had me swooning the whole book, after being so lonely and being betrayed he had found someone to fight for and who he can trust, completely. Molly, on the other hand, has grown so much in such a strong character, everything that happened to her made her tough and fierce, something I wouldn't have imagined, she was so fragile at the beginning, but after seeing both of them together you are able to understand the sudden change. He made her confident, while she gave him the opportunity of being loved. The perfect finale for this duet, a story that hooked and captivated me, only like Nicole's writing could.
WOW ! Nicole sure does know how to get your emotions unbalanced. I mean you definitely are on high alert at the end of book one ‘Married to the Don’ and your left with wondering what was gonna happen. And she didn’t disappoint I’ll tell you that much !! Now from my personal POV I can’t stand Molly most of the time BUT for the character in this story she was good. I always put myself into these stories and I get soooo frustrated when they don’t do what they should. And Viktor well love makes you do dumb stuff and he sure does. Especially with everything he has going on with the Bractva then add in Molly and Theo. But you gotta love him !! Anyway enough of that. The betrayal well there was so much of that you don’t know who is who and which Bractva they are with or if they aren’t but Nicole describes it all so well you don’t have to question or reread anything.
Can you forgive a family member or a friend for betraying you ? What if they had a really good reason to ? Could you betray someone you loved, whether family or a friend ? To what lengths are you willing to go for the person/people you love ?
Grab a copy of the first book and this book...you won’t be disappointed !!

The continuation of the story from “Married to the Don #1” into this book “Til Death us do Part #2” is smooth & flawless & this duet series is now complete. This is an excellent dark mafia romance which I thoroughly enjoyed reading & found the plot to be quite intriguing & full of action. There is good scene descriptions & world building. The story covers a bratva boss (Viktor Kornilov) that married a young woman (Molly) who was drugged & date-rape by his younger brother (Fedor) which subsequently resulted in her son (Theo) now she is pregnant with Victor’s child & Fedor is out for revenge. I found the characters to be strong-willed individuals with unique realistic flaws. There is: various mafia/bratva gangs, mafia rivalry, sibling rivalry, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, a fake marriage, trust, deceit, betrayal, abduction, action, threats, verbal conflict, brutality, danger, enemies, devious plans, war, alliances, assassination attempts, confrontations, violence, danger, threats, conflict, death, murder, injuries, manipulations, steamy scenes, love, happiness & a satisfying conclusion.
I really liked the first book, which I can’t say about the second book, because it was totally disappointing, when I read, I only had one question, Were they the same couple that I fell in love with in the first book?, they were so different, I couldn’t find chemistry between them anymore, they were being stupid all the time.
The worst part of this book was that in almost every new chapter of the book, the same thing was happening, as Victor’s brother, Fedor, was trying to kidnap his son and kill his son’s mother, the way Molly doubted Victor and their marriage all the time .
When her friend Hannah showed up, I thought she’d figure out it was all a trap, but she believed her, l know they were friends but like that was years ago (she is not your friend anymore, wake up, girl😐) she SHOWED Up out of nowhere and she knew where Molly was living, even molly was not the one who told her the address, I was disappointed because Molly from the first book wouldn’t believe her and would be so naïve, She was a smart woman, but not the in second book.
So at the end, this part book really disappointed me.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
(Mild spoilers) This was a decent follow up on Married to the Don, however; there are some points that made me give it a 4 instead of the 5 the first book truly earned.
The introduction of the friend, Hannah, was an obvious arc into a traitor in their midst. I spent the rest of the book just waiting for the big reveal I knew was coming.
I prefer my h’s to be strong women who are more supportive of their men than so I wished her indecision and insecurity could have been wrapped up sooner. Then, her sudden transformation into a mafia queen was too sudden, had no build up, and the story ended before we could see if she truly lived up to the task.
The H was supposed to be a mafia don, but was weakened by the fact that so much time was spent on how his men didn’t trust him and left him for his obviously crazy brother. He was still hot and delivered in the bedroom, but I’ve read better H’s from this author.
This book is worth the read to follow up on book 1.
This is the conclusion to Molly and Viktor's story and boy was it a roller coaster of a ride! There is passion, action, betrayal, wonderful characters, new beginnings as well as dramatic endings. so much to say and I have no way to say much except this is a must read story. I like that we get to see Viktor displayed in ways that aren't always considered to be Bratva head actions but that is just part of why I love this character. We also get to see Molly come into her own as a Bratva Queen where she started out as a scared, single Mom struggling to stay one step ahead of poverty and homelessness. There are plenty of nail biting moments and many more where the love and passion between Molly and Viktor is displayed in breathlessly beautiful descriptions. Well done Nicole Fox! This Kornilov Bratva series is once of my favorites!
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
In the first book Married to the Don, Viktor and Molly are together by necessity first , for her safety and Theo’s safety, and by therer growing attraction to each other. The story continues in book number 2 with the war between Bratva factions continuing and each side is lead by the two brothers. There is distrust, betrayal, and violence on both sides but in every case Viktor’s first and last thought are with the safety of his new family before the notion of consolidating power. Molly is his lifeline, his queen and his restraint and devotion where she was concerned just made him that much hotter and swoon worthy. Do these two get there happily ever after you will just have to read this book to find out.

This is the second part of the Kornilov Bratva duet and follows on from Married to the Don, it once again doesn’t disappoint, it’s simply awesome from start to end, it flows seamlessly, a complete rollercoaster and a complete ringer on your emotions. I did a couple of times want to shake Molly but she was after all afraid for her son’s safety, but Viktor was the protector and Fedor, well there are no nice words to describe him. Again we meet Hannah, Mollys friend!!! Not everything is as it appears, you will need to read this book to get that true meaning. If your looking for a book to suck you in then this is the one, it’s gritty and definitely emotional. Nicole’s books are ace and not to be missed. I was given this as an ARC by the author in exchange for a voluntary honest review which I was happy to give.
Goodness, if you read Married to the Don, prepare yourself for another emotional rollercoaster ride with even more twists and tangled messes. Viktor is in an all out war with his little brother, Fedor. This book is even more intense than the first book in the Duet. Goodness gracious! Prepare to not put this book down. After you've read the book, make sure to get the Extended Epilogue. Absolutely worth it after reading through the second book. The book was well written, executed, and made sense. I'm not knocking other Bratva storylines, but this story just flowed better than most I've read. Thank you, Nicole!
I loved this book so much that I purchased it as well. I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC via Booksprout and am leaving a review. Buy and read it! You won't regret it!!

Excellent second book in this dark mafia romance!!
This is the second book in this dark mafia romance duet and you must read Married to the Don before reading this book.
After what Fedor has put Molly through, he is still a threat to her and her son, Theo. Viktor, Fedor's brother, just wants to keep Molly and Theo safe, but I don't think he realizes what a threat Fedor is to them all. Fedor is crazy and he plans on tearing apart the Bratva to get to Viktor and Molly. This is a story that's dark, twisted and filled with betrayal. There were a few times I wanted to reach into the book and slap the crap out of Molly for being so stupid, but it made it all the more intriguing to read! Definitely a must read duet for all dark mafia romance lovers out there!!

This is a mandatory read in one sitting as it is just this spectacular with plot twists! I anxiously awaited this book after reading Married to the Don as I couldn’t wait to see how it all played out! To say I was dreaming about possible outcomes is not a lie! Viktor is like a man possessed to keep Molly safe, but who can he trust after his brother, Fedor’s actions. Molly is torn between her old life of fighting for herself and her son and accepting Viktor’s demands for protection. The two struggle while outside forces both known and unknown try to tear them apart. How will it all end, is anyone’s guess as Nicole weaves a twisted tale of revenge and love in impossible situations to overcome!
This is Part Two of Married To The Don. This was an awesome book and duet. This book was well-written and the storyline was original. Molly continues to be in the middle of Viktor and Fedor's war. With Molly's emotions all over the place, she takes a pregnancy test and she is indeed pregnant. She feels like she is in prison but at the same time she doesn't feel safe. So when her longtime friend, Hannah, arrives on her doorstep she is excited to have someone to talk to. But Fedor makes attempt after attempt to bring down Viktor, the Bravta, and Molly. In the end, its true what they say...keep your friends close and your enemies closer. This book and duet are a must read and I highly recommend!
I kind of liked the first book better. I don't know, I had to skin quite a bit during both books really. I liked the premise of the series, but the writing wasn't the greatest. Molly was a strong character, I did like that. Viktor was pretty annoying though. I get that Fedor was his little brother, but couldn't he see earlier that he was crazy! I was so happy by the end when he finally killed him. I was surprised though, when he admitted to killing their parents when he was a kid; so he's always been insane. I figured there was something going on with Hannah, the old friend. I was happy she helped in the end though. And that Petr wasn't betraying viktor. He had enough people betray him, so it was nice to have one actual loyal person on his side.
