Book #1: Kingdom Heir
I always adored my older, off-limits godfather . . .
Until he stole my first kiss and - lied about it.
Kristof Lazarov - my rich, bratva godfather, and my father’s best friend.
A childhood crush turns into a deadly game when he notices I’m growing up . . .
And he isn’t willing to let anyone else get their hands on me anymore.
He’s known me since I was a little girl, but now everything’s different. And when my strict, handsome godfather busts me kissing a boy I shouldn’t be - everything changes.
Because Kristof Lazarov steals my first kiss and tells me it belongs to him alone.
Now there’s no way out . . . I’m indebted and tethered to him in ways I no longer want to resist.

Book #2: Kingpin Godfather
I never should have danced on that pole in the night club.
That’s where he found me, half naked, drunk and terrified when our eyes met.
Kristof Lazarov is my father’s right hand. He’s older, hotter and completely off limits. He’s also the last person I expect to find me when I run away just before my nineteenth birthday… and my very first kiss.
He stole my first kiss on my eighteenth birthday and ignored me since then.
Why is he so interested in me now?
I expect him to drag me back home, not give me an unforgettable night of spice in a private booth where I lose my V-card.
But then instead of telling my parents he’s found me, Kristof locks me up in his house.
Suddenly, I’m a willing prisoner…

I took her as mine when I shouldn’t have -- she’s my best friend’s daughter.
So now -- her father will make me pay.
Alena Orlova is in my bedroom, tied to my bed.
Soon, she will be my wife -- even if I have to kill everyone in this city to own her.
But when her vengeful father finds out I’m the one who kidnapped Alena, I need to find a way to kill him before he kills me.

The complete series so hang on because you will be twisted, turned, buckle up this is one crazy wild ride. We have Kristof and Alena whom are both obsessed with one another yet neither say anything to the other. He works for her father, and she is about to married off to a man she doesn’t like he isn’t going to allow it. We get to witness Alena come alive away from her parents they really weren’t good people, she becomes the women she is meant to be with the support of Kristof. Kristof shows us he has the ability to love, to show kindness but above all he shows he can be very fair with his men so when the time to take over comes they believe in his trust and his word. She has to watch her parents crash and burn so to speak for the selfishness not taken care of the families in the US and Russia and walking away or not holding up the promised alliance with the other families so where are they headed it seems they are both destine to be leaders but do they see it, will the family fall apart when the heads fall, will they be honest with one another completely, and is happiness written from them?

I only came across Ms Cullen in the last 9 months and I'm so glad I did. All her books I've read so far has left me wanting more. Wanting to read the next paragraph, the next page,the next chapter until my nose is glued to the screen and everything else fades away into the background. This book or collection did not disappoint. It starts off with an obsession. Kristof who works for Aleksander the head of the Bratva, is obsessed which Aleksander's daughter Alena who is also his god daughter. He's been like this since he stole a kiss from her on her 18th birthday last year. He soon finds out that on her 19th birthday she is going to be married off to another prominent russian family. An incident occurs which works in his favour, where he can kidnap Alena for himself under the guise that someone else has taken her. Kristof thinks that he will train Alena to be the perfect submissive to him not realising that Alena is just as obsessed with him since the kiss and it won't take much to train her.
Through this collection you see the obsession, turn to lust then to love. How Alena flourishes now that she isn't under her parents influence. How their love for each other makes Alena a stronger person, fighting for those she loves and holds dear but also allows Kristof to show his gentler, more caring side, letting his guard down and be vulnerable. How different families come together to strengthen alliances and fight against the tyranny that is Alena's parents. Aleksander and Mara have forgotten the families beneath them, the ones they should be looking after in the USA but also back in Russia.
Honestly, couldn't put this book down, the story line just drew me in. All the characters in the book held up well, each with their own pull on your emotions, cheering those on you want to succeed and booing the one's you wanted to be taken down.
Take a chance, read you, you will definitely not be disappointed!!.

The Lazarov Bratva is a trilogy of three mafia novels that follow Alena and Kristof through their tumultuous and intense relationship. It's a steamy, OTT, age-gap, forbidden, girl gets her mafia man, somewhat dark romance. Alena is the daughter of the pahkan but is treated more like Cinderella than the mafia princess she should be. She is stifled by her parents and has a horrible relationship with them. Kristof is her godfather and her father's right-hand man. He kisses her on her 18th birthday, which kickstarts his obsession with her. She is also obsessed with him. He gives her some attention until he finds she is promised to another prominent Russian and then pushes her away. But when an opportunity arises, he kidnaps her. He thinks he can make her submit to him, not realizing she wants him just as badly as he wants her. This story has it all... love, drama, mystery, secrets, danger, and a lot of sexy steam. We watch the obsession these two have for each other bloom into love. Can Kristof keep her safe? What will her father do? This was such a nailbiter. The chemistry between these two was explosive, and we got a very happy ending after the roller-coaster journey. This was the first Bratva/ mafia book I have read by Lisa. I have read several of her reverse harem novels and loved them, but this trilogy was so good!!.

This collection features three gripping stories about Kristof and Alena, a couple whose relationship defies societal norms. Each tale is filled with unexpected twists and turns, leading them to their happily ever after (HEA). As one of the most compelling mafia storylines I've encountered, this series stands out for its unpredictability and originality. While a few plot points were foreseeable, the majority were refreshingly surprising, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout.
This dark romance plunges readers into a whirlwind of excitement, including kidnapping, a forbidden relationship, an age gap, betrayal (outside the couple), and widespread destruction. The narrative continuously escalates, with each story building on the last, ensuring there is never a dull moment.
It's also worth noting that this collection includes the entire series, so readers can enjoy a satisfying conclusion without any cliffhangers. Lisa Cullen's writing style is captivating, making this a thoroughly enjoyable read. I highly recommend this collection for fans of dark romance who are looking for a thrilling, unpredictable journey.

O.M.G!!!!! The Lazarov Bratva by Lisa Cullen was soooooooooo good!!! It is the ENTIRE story of Kristof and Alena. He is her godfather. But, now that she’s grown up…he sees her differently. While she’s ALWAYS seen him as something more. But, her father is the Pakhan of the Bratva. He and her mother have plans for her. Things get bad when she refuses the man she’s been promised to…
There was so much happening in this twisted, intense, engrossing read!!! I was thrilled to have the entire trilogy in one compilation!! Because….no cliffhangers!!! Just turn the page!!! Kristof is devoted, protective, and completely smitten with her. Alena is strong, independent, but held back by her fiercely unrelenting parents.
This story is filled with death, destruction, mayhem, rivalry, betrayal, insanity, devotion, unbreakable bonds, loyalty, and lots of steamy romance!!! Absolutely fabulous read!!!!

I loved Kristof and Alena's story. Alena is kept at the family home and not allowed to leave. She is so badly treated by her mother that she refers to her by her name Mara. She can't even bring herself to call her Mother. Kristof is her godfather, and Alena has romantic feelings for him, but he rejects her, telling her that she's too young. To further complicate things Kristof is her father's right-hand man. Kristof is horrified when he finds out Alena is to be married off to a rival mafia who treat their women terribly, and he needs to do something to save her. Lisa keeps you turning the pages with the twists and turns that you don't see coming.

Wow, I was captivated with this box set I was hooked from the start, the stories was written well and the characters were really sensational. Three magnificent stories that tells the life of AIena and Kristof Lazorov, Kristof has lusted after her for a few years then on her eighteenth birthday he took a female to her party then kissed her for her eighteenth. He is her Godfather and her father's best friend, she has had a crush on him since she was younger and now she is older she thinks he's better. Her mother didn't love her, her father was just keen to marry her off to someone she doesn't like so she ran off only to get caught and kidnapped. Reading these three stories one straight after the other was so captivating that I loved.

It starts off with an obsession that Kristof has for Alena in the depths of his mind. Little did he know she felt the same. After she was told she was being put in a marriage with someone she hated she chose to go out for a night. Just one night of freedom but soon she finds herself in Kristof's home and underneath him many times. This attraction between them quickly becomes so much more and the relationship grows. The only issue is he kidnapped her and her family is looking hard in every place to find her. This turns into a war that no thought would become as crazy as it was. With the death bloodshed and all out war on their doorstep these two have to stand together and fight against their common enemies. Don't worry they do make in in the end it is just a wild rollercoaster ride to get there!.

Green Pilled Toxicity
Lovely Patriarchial Parable of the chronically Unseen, Unsexed and Unloved.
Reading neurotypical white women stories are so funny.
Ever heard of show don't tell.
You didn't demonstrate pleasure once.
You told me she was havi g pleasure, she didn't react like she was experiencing pleasure.
Just 400 pages of repeating that mantra that his dehumanisation makes her feel powerful, that beinf edged is fun.
Can't imagine how comfortable your life has been that you need to make sex shit.
So shit, you need to convince me its good.
Im sorry, unconvinced.
She was in her head the whole time.
What a toxic toddler man, waiting to groom and breed a young woman.
Toxic toddler men!
"I cant be helped fucking her"
Why are you so emotional dude?
Why are you so weak?

Kristof will get what he wants!!
Alena has had a crush on her godfather, Kristof for a while now. She's turning eighteen and hopes to catch his eye. Kristof steals Alena first kiss on her eighteenth birthday and then basically ignores her for almost a year. Alena decides since she can't have Kristof, she wants to lose her v-card to someone of her choosing before she's married off to a horrible guy in an arranged marriage her parents secured to make things better for the Bratva. When Alexa sneaks out Kristof finds her drunk and dancing half naked on a pole. Kristof makes a hasty decision and since Alena is willing he takes her v-card roughly and then promptly kidnaps her. This collection was absolutely amazing and I loved it!!

Kristof and Alena were made for each other, but things are not simple and barries keep getting thrown up as their relationship develops from Alena's first crush to their eventually mutual obsession. This collection takes you on a wild ride, twists and turns, kidnapping, forbidden relationship, age-gap, betrayal (not between Kristof and Alena), destruction, and things I not see see coming, it just kept getting better.
It is great that the collection contains the complete set, so there is no cliffhangers.

Fantastic read
Once I started this book, there was no way I could put it down until the very last page was finished. The two main characters were brilliant in their struggles to get what each wanted. Once the secondary characters became stronger, it was a total battle that ensued.
A beautiful as well a strong story all the way through, certainly takes the reader on a thrilling roller coaster ride.
This is one book not to be missed, it is well worth the time it takes to read it.

The Lazarov Bratva is a boxset of all 3 books - Kingdom Heir, Kingpin Godfather and Queen Bride. They all dragged me into a dangerous Mafia World where Alena (FMC) is a pawn to be used by her Mafia Boss father to gain more power. Only for the attraction that she has with her Godfather - Kristof that had him protected. Even if he basically kidnapped her to do that. It was a twistedly brilliant trilogy of books that gripped me from the first book all the way through all of them. One hell of a read with cracking plot twists as well as plenty of steamy scenarios. Loved It.

An unconventional romance with some old world ideas about the role of women. An unexpected story with enough twists and turns to give the reader whiplash. Enjoyed reading the entire book, but the MMC is a sadist and a couple of scenes involved slapping the FMC across the face hard in anger. That crossed a line for me.

Krisof wanted Alena. Alena wanted Krisof. This a couple that has too fight against the world against people in their bratva. Alena father and mother didn't see as anything but a pawn.
