Vendetta Crown
I thought my nightmare ended the day a ruthless bratva boss crowned me his queen.
I thought I could finally stop hiding after I married Ruslan Dragunov.
Until my past caught up to me, and everything shattered in the worst way possible.
Now I'm in the clutches of the monster I've spent seven years hiding from.
The monster whose hands are stained with my family’s blood.
The monster who thinks that I belong to him.
He tells me that my husband is dead.
He tells me that there’s nothing I can do.
But I refuse to surrender.
I refuse to give in or give up hope.
Above all, I refuse to believe that my husband is dead.
The monster of my past may think he’s won, but I know the
Ruslan is alive. And he's coming for me.
I know he would never leave me alone in this world.
Not after he swore that nothing will ever hurt me again.
And when he finds me, we’ll show the world what happens when you try to tear apart a bratva boss from his queen.

Before we start off, if you haven’t read Vendetta Vows yet, please do cause this review is for the second and final book in the duet so trust me and finish that, and come back to me. We have a lot to discuss!
Vendetta Crown was very much a mixture of healing and companionship. Aurora and Ruslan find themselves navigating their marriage, Bratva politics and the remnants of the man who has haunted Aurora’s nightmares for years. But in that process, they also grow as characters and as a couple.
“I love who we’ve become together.”
I said it in the last review and I’ll say it again, I LOVE RUSLAN AND AURORA. They’re not just a good match, they’re a legit power couple that have a marriage rooted in partnership in the truest sense. Ruslan loves to empower Aurora and in return she gives him the undeniable strength and comfort as he undergoes changes in his role in the Bratva. I’m always going to be raving about these two cause they’re just so real, so deeply connected with their emotions and think with logic and maturity, handling every issue TOGETHER. It’s rare, especially in Bratva romances, for couples to engage in strategic planning, particularly when the FMC isn’t born into that world. But that only highlights how smart Aurora is and how capable and emotionally intelligent Ruslan truly is.
I have to say, I cried buckets and buckets of tears for Aurora in this one as she faced her dark past and healed. The transformation from Jamie Fields to Aurora Dragunov was so natural and organic, this girl was born to be the wife of the Pakhan of Pakhans. And with a true MAN like Ruslan by her side, these two are unmatched! Not to mention, huge shoutout to Aurora being vocal in (ahem) the spicy scenes, girly had me tingling with those words…I think I’ve developed a new kink.
“The motion of our bodies feels like poetry, like the most natural expression of this love flowing between us.”
But what I truly appreciated too was the plot. Honestly, it was so original and new in the way that Bratva politics ran alongside the whole film set concept, very unique and definitely something that I’ve never seen before in a Bratva romance. I enjoyed every twist, every turn, and every moment together with our couple. Brook, hats off to you, you really outdid yourself on this one! This duet has to be my absolute favourite from her entire catalog of duets and trilogies because it did things that most don’t and will be recommending for a long time coming.

AMAZING CONCLUSION!!
Book two of the Dragunov Bratva duet was more then I anticipated.
This was the perfect ending to an incredibly ASTOUNDING story.
The intense emotion, the struggle to get to the end of Kristophe’s obsession and ending a Bratva take over was positively entertaining, chaotic and thrilling.
Ruslan and Aurora discover how much they love and respect each other throughout the second part of their road to HEA.
The passion and the dominance Aurora brings to this portion of their story is very empowering and captivating. She’s finally taking control and it’s so exciting and sexy.
There’s a certain sensual scene that depicts how much she’s coming into her own and it’s naughty, sinfully enticing and BEAUTIFUL… it has Daddy begging and seeing his wife in all her glory.
I really enjoyed how each of these characters grew not only on a personal level but as a couple.
I must say that I was REMARKABLE IMPRESSED and DELICIOUSLY SATISFIED with Ruslan and Aurora story.

An exciting and thrilling conclusion for Aurora and Ruslan. I was instantly drawn in to the story right from the start and I didn't want to stop until I got to the end. The story kept me guessing until the very end.
I really liked the overall premise of this duet because it was a unique take on the typical dark romance.
I loved that Ruslan stayed true to himself and his devotion to Aurora. He was also so sweet with those he cared about and it was so nice to see that side of him. He could still be a leader but caring as well. I liked getting to see both sides of his personality.
I really liked Aurora in this book because she didn't become a shrinking violet. She stood up for herself and I loved how she could be strong yet understanding of the situation around her. She was great with Ruslan's nieces too.
I really enjoyed this whole duet. It kept me entertained and surprised by the twists. The writing was well done and engaging. I didn't want to put it down so I ended up reading it in record time. I would definitely recommend it!!

So exciting!! Loved it!
I absolutely loved Vendetta Vows and Vendetta Crown! I loved that Aurora was not a damsel in distress. She had a controlling boyfriend who murdered her family so she in turn faked her own death and disappeared. Aurora and Ruslan meet-cute, she is a witness to his nephew’s murder, he saves her life and they decide to enter into a marriage of convenience. Well of course that doesn’t last! Eventually, her real identity is outed by Ruslan’s jealous ex and also by his sister in law. The ex-boyfriend is a cop who is very much a stalker and crazy. It was refreshing that there were no secrets by one partner to protect the other. It became a true partnership. The “request” on the Vegas room reservation was brilliant! Just when you think it is too late in the book for anymore action, there’s more excitement. Such a great read!

Book two of the Dragunov Bratva duet exceeded my expectations. It provides a perfect conclusion to an incredibly captivating story. The intense emotion and struggle to overcome Kristophe’s obsession while ending a Bratva takeover were both entertaining and thrilling.
Throughout the second part of their journey to a happily ever after, Ruslan and Aurora discover the depth of their love and respect for each other. The passion and dominance that Aurora brings to their story during this segment are empowering and captivating. She finally takes control, which is exciting and sexy.
There’s a particularly sensual scene that showcases her growth; it is both naughty and beautifully enticing, leaving her husband in awe of her. I appreciated how each character developed not only on a personal level, but also as a couple. I must say, I was genuinely impressed with Ruslan and Aurora's story.

Action-packed, emotional and fiercely romantic!
An Arc Copy of this book was given to me in advance. In Book 2, Aurora and Ruslan’s relationship continues to deepen and grow even stronger. This story had me on the edge of my seat—the writing is sharp, and the pacing is relentless in the best way. The mix of trauma, adventure, and emotional connection is perfectly balanced.
There’s non-stop action, and the spice only intensifies alongside their love. No matter what barriers they face, their bond holds steady—and they’d burn the world down for each other.
A gripping and passionate continuation that delivers on every level!

I love love love that Aurora is not damsel in distress, and fact she continues to back that fact up.
Meanwhile, Ruslan is not your run of the mill ordinary Hollywood producer.
Individually they are fierce, together they are unstoppable.
I honestly cannot get enough of this book.
