Eclipse Heart

Kuznetsov Bratva #2

by Mya Grey

💋Hating him should be easy—he killed my brother.
He’s my sworn enemy…
Instead, I'm fighting the urge to rip his clothes off.
Every inch of me remembers that night—how his hard body felt claiming mine.

Now, I’m living under Leonid’s control,
Trapped in his house as his captive.
Playing by his rules.
It wasn’t supposed to go like this – Every day, every night, under the same roof.

The line between hate and something else blurs.
Yet I can't forget why I hate him.
No.
Not even for a second.

Still, revenge doesn’t taste so sweet when it’s mixed with lust.
Every touch,
Every heated whisper from Leonid pulls me further away from what I’m supposed to do.

And the worst part? – Watching him with Elijah.
Seeing the way they connect without him even knowing the truth makes it harder to keep my distance.
Harder to hate him.
Now, I’m battling my heart.

The question isn't if I can kill him, my baby’s father—it's whether I can live without him.

Leonid, Clara & Elijah's intense story continues.

This second book in the duet is an addictive read. It has many interesting characters, entertaining dialogue, imaginative plot twists and surprises. Get ready for captivity, secrets revealed, betrayal, traitors, revenge, passion, violence, torture, an evil twin and some smile worthy moments. I really enjoyed experiencing how Clara and Leonid's relationship evolves from enemies to lovers and beyond. Note - Chapter 59 has some paragraphs that repeat. I received this ARC from the author, Mya Grey and am pleased to review it.

OMG!!!! An epic ending to this two book series! I’m praying we get more books in the Kuznetsov Bratva world. Nothing turned out the way I thought it would. Who I thought was the real villain, wasn’t. I knew it wasn’t the MMC, but I was sure I knew who it was and I was soooo wrong! And the characters, I fell hard for the MMCs second. This whole book kept me hanging on every word. Mya Grey outdid herself with this one. If you haven’t read the first book, Onyx Heart, you need to. I will say there is a lot of spice, and make sure you read the trigger warnings as this book takes you deep into the dark underbelly of the mafia

The adventurous and enchanting love story woven throughout the two novels, ONYX HEART and ECLIPSE HEART by Mya Grey, is nothing short of remarkable. The depth of emotion and the intensity of the characters’ experiences drew me in completely, leaving me feeling as though I was living their journey alongside them. Rarely have I encountered a narrative that so thoroughly captures my imagination and captivates my heart.

Definitely will be reading this story over and over again.

Be Still My Heart
Mya Grey you have outdone yourself! I couldn’t have imagined that Leonid and Clara’s story could be any hotter than Onyx Heart but…..WOW! This finale takes it to the top of Everest! Thank you for a perfect, tantalizing, exquisite, exhilarating, HOT ending. Just wish there was more!

[Darlene Walker]

Loved Clara and Leonid's story! Great read, story and writing! Filled with excitement, laughter, action, sexy scenes, healing and love with happily ever after! My a you didn't disappoint, but kept me enthralled to see what would happen next!

Fantastic second book of the duet. Broken strong characters, stubborn in their own right. Angsty, heartbroken and determined to find the truth. Wonderful to watch as they evolve to their HEA. Definite must read!

[Lindy D · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved Eclipse Heart. It was a deepening of the relationship between Leonid and Clara. Both struggling with feelings that are making the two of them stretch and grow in their story. Their secrets are coming into the light of day just to make things even more complex.
Ms. Grey has outdone herself in Part 2 of the Kuznetsov Bratva! I could not put it down because I wanted to see how it all was going to work out!

[Hilda Schneider · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great conclusion to Onyx Heart! Clara has been found! Clara was taken along with her little boy. How long can she keep her secret from Leonid? How long will they be safe? Leonid thinks she tried to poison him but doesn’t know why. He doesn’t know that Clara wants revenge for the death of her brother Jake. When the clouds clear and they find out, they are shocked! On top of that Leonid is dealing with his evil twin brother, who is out to destroy him. So much to deal with, so much to clear up! And they want each other with a passion that neither of them want to deal with as it complicates things. I loved it. I loved the dynamics between Leonid and Clara, and how they move through all the angst and lies that got them to where they are! A great read! A great ending! Loved it!

What an incredible story that will leave you guessing until the very end!

This is book 2 in the Kuznetsov Bratva, and you really need to read book 1 to understand the storyline here. I suggest you read both together to get the full-impact of this amazing story. Plus, you can pick up on the hints as to who the killer is that way.

I love the way Mya Grey put this riveting story together. Is Leonid a bad guy? Will Clara ever let go of her secret? The secondary characters are so fleshed out (especially the adorable Elijah) that you feel like you know them. They could be people you meet on the street.

The redemption arc of this story will make you cry, but it will also give you hope. Perfect ending to a wonderful duet!

I received a free copy of this ebook in exchange for a honest review.

Reading one of these darker romance books with a competitent female lead who doesn't shy away from the bad stuff & who doesn't mind getting her hands as dirty as the typical alpha male lead does is really refreshing; Clara remains level headed throughout most of the story, and when she does put herself in harms way I can see her reasoning for doing so. Clara is a very modern heroine - she isn't a coward, isn't shy, isn't ashamed, and she is very streetwise.

Leonid is very confident and strong willed. His actions & the things he says aren't always likable, but they fit his personality and position very well. It makes the kindness he sometimes let slip more inpactful.

The romance angle really works; I really become caught up with the leads mutual attraction, budding romance and their feelings of mistrust. The development of their feeling towards each other doesn't feel too rushed given the surrounding circumstances, and their chemistry is instantly apparent.

In addition to the romance & crime, there is a whole series worth of soap opera twists and turns, so I couldn't begin to guess at what would happen next. The Bratva family internal & external rivalries are very thrilling and the scheming, infighting & plotting involved is totally gripping. Mixed together with the dark romance elements, the humour, the soap opera levels of drama combine to make this impossible to put down. I was NOT left wanting more from the ending of this duology.

This is a great duet! Clara and Leonid are pretty badass and when the kid is introduced things get spicy. It’s hard not to give away any spoilers in this review so I will try not to. Onyx heart, followed up with eclipse heart are very fast reads. When I finished onyx heart, waiting for book two was excruciating. I was checking every day. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the first one to download the second book. If you like mafia romance, this story is one of the better ones with all the necessary elements to keep you interested. I really appreciate the character development Mya did with several of the characters. This duet has everything you ever wanted in a mafia romance- it’s brutal , sexy, humorous, and intense. I know I’ll read this duet again, especially since I’ve already read book one twice. I highly, highly recommend this series to all you mafia fans….you will love the kid. Such a great addition to the storyline..

This book is the 2nd part of a duet. We get to read about the continuation on Clara and Leonid relations and his relationship with Clara son Elijah. This book also concentrates on Clara finding out who actually killed her brother Jake, her relationship with her father. It also concentrates on the both Leonid and his twin finding out who killed their mother. LThis book is full of action ....you have Leonid twin brother looking for revenge, Clara and Leonid father's 2nd in charge who wants revenge and then you have Clara thinking that Leonid killed her brother and her looking for revenge. Oh and we have other characters in the book - Maksim and Dmitry, Kayla and Pavel the peacock who all just add and their scenes make you burst out in laugher. Loved reading this book

[J.p · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing conclusion to this fantastic duet. Leo and Clara are so stubborn and don’t want to admit what’s so obvious to everyone else. A great twist that I couldn’t have predicted, throw in some hot and passionate chemistry along with revenge and you have a great read. Be warned to read the Tws as it could upset some readers but the love that surrounds these characters are strong and contains humour too, the relationship Leo has with his two sidekicks is surprising but heartwarming. What a great resolution and he ending was just perfect. Leo and Clara’s hea is over for now but I feel there are more stories to come- maybe Ludis, Dmitry and Maskims? Here’s hoping.

[Ms. Shawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Leonid Kuznetsov has kidnapped Clara Caldwell and her son Elijah. Everyone near Leonid can see the resemblance between Elijah and him.

I felt bad for Clara because she obviously had feelings for Leonid. She really needed to find out who killed her brother Jake. I felt bad for Leonid because he obviously had a soft spot for Clara but wasn’t sure how Clara and Elijah could fit into his world. Plus, Leonid was dealing with his twin brother Ludis.

There was excitement and tension throughout the book. I was happy with how everything was wrapped up.

Another great story duet from Mya Grey.

[Poppy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Kuznetsov Bratva story ended in the most epic way with Eclipse Heart!!!!
This book had everything I needed besides the HEA of course.
A shocking betrayal is revealed that leaves our girl Clara feeling lost, angry and confused.
Leonid is also torn with everything going on and most of all he cannot deny anymore his growing feelings for Clara...and Elijah....
There was spice, shocking plot twist, found family, hope, love and of course the most satisfying HEA ever❤️🔥❤️
Thank you so much Mya for writing yet another amazing story!!!!

[Jacqueline · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love a strong FMC and Clara brings it ALL. She is strong and sassy and a fierce mother to her son. While trying to get revenge for her brothers murder, Leonid catches her and holds her and her son captive. As Leonid and Clara get reacquainted, things get steamy but also their connection grows as they get to know each other. This book is full of twists and turns and as secrets are exposed and enemies from within are revealed, things get dangerous. This is a fantastic conclusion to this duet.

[LeQuetia Hollis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome conclusion to Clara and Leonid's love story. While their relationship started off in the most unconventional way, their bond was something that couldnbe ignored or denied and it eventually forced them to acknowledge it. Elijah and his youthful innocence also helped the bond grow as these two realized they would do whatever they had to in order to protect their family. I was glad Clara got the closure she needed about her brother's death and that Leonid and his twin were able to get the same closure in regards to their family too.

[Joan Phillips · Rating 3 out of 5]

Long

When Clara started to feel like something was off regarding her brother's death, it was too late, she had already caused issues where there shouldn't have been. Luide had always felt she was a loose cannon. She reacted before she would think. She showed no rumors regarding her bad decisions. It was easy for him to deal with her because he was ruthless and he did whatever it took to get what he wanted. He understood her because she only wanted revenge.

This story was unnecessary long. The best friend attitude was coo childish. In the end, what positions did each held?

[Earth Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent 2nd book. Wow just wow. Lots of suspense, and the twists had me holding on tight turning the pages as fast as I could. The actual villain was such a heartbreaking surprise. And the secrets that are revealed had me holding my breath. Loved all the characters. Their strong personalities really brought this story to an emotionally gripping story. And sweet Elijah brings so much love and joy to the turmulous times. Mya is such a wonderful author. I highly recommend her books. They are unforgettable reads that stay with you.

[Bren · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is that 2nd book you've been waiting for and now that you have it you're dying to know how it ends, but don't really want it to end. I personally couldn't read it fast enough to satisfy my curiosity the twists had my heart rated jacked up and the suspense held me hostage and I !oved every moment I spent reading this book.

Eclipse Heart book 2 by Mya Grey
Continues from book 1, we get into the abduction of Clara and her son. I fell in love with the characters and the love /hate she had with her Leonid. I felt the pull of their attraction with each other. I loved the joker and his smirks know it all. The big giant who’s soft for Elijah. We get so much in this duet story line. Recommend.

Leonid and Clara Book 2

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down and didn’t. I finished it before I went to bed (4:20am) even though I had to be up at 7:30. It had me laughing, crying and biting my nails at times. I loved how Leonid and Clara fought the chemistry that oozed from both of them. Be prepared for a roller coaster ride and hang on.

[Sammye · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book two in the Kuznetsov Bratva series. It’s picks up where Onyx Heart left off. I love Leonid and Clara. Their story holds me spellbound! Their chemistry is off the charts. It’s action packed, fast paced and entertaining. I’m glad Clara finally found out who didn’t kill her brother! This is a roller coaster ride. Amazing read.

[SHAY · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!🤩 That one word covers a lot for me. “Onyx Heart” was a very good book, but “Eclipse Heart”may have surpassed it. It was a fantastic read with many twists and turns! From Leonid’s side of the family and Clara’s. Loved the ending (no spoilers).😊 I would love to read and learn more about “MAKSIM”. Both of your books were page turners from beginning to end for me. Thank you Mya!🌺

Eclipse Heart. Book 2.

I liked it. Continued book one well.
Not much to complain about. Only a few typos, grammatical and vocabulary errors. I often read other authors with more errors who need to fire their editors and get better arc readers!
Good job. Will read this author again.

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. This is the continuation of Onyx Heart. It picks up from the end of it. The chemistry between Clara and Leonid is electric. It’s action packed from start to finish with a surprising twist at the end. If you like hot spicy dark mafia romances you will love this.

Clara and Leonid’s relationship starts to get a little stronger but there are so many twists and turns and you think you know who the villain is and then your like…. Wait What????? Great way to end this Bratva series.

Loved every bit

Clara and Leonid…exquisitely executed. I just couldn’t get enough of these two even when the revenge was at it’s peak. The truth of everything was finally revealed and the HEA was perfect. I hope we maybe get more from this family. I especially want a Dmitry book.
