Silver Fox Daddies

Sinful Union

Rate this book
I'm about to marry the devil.
And he has no idea I have his daughter...


Six years ago, Pavel Fetisov ruined me.
Now, I walk toward him in a wedding gown.
He doesn’t know about the daughter with his eyes.
Or the poison tucked inside my wedding bouquet.

This isn’t love.
It's a brutal power play to merge two dynasties…
And take down the man rumored to have killed my parents.

Pavel is now older. Colder. Deadlier than ever.
The man who took my virginity against a chapel wall…
Now slides a diamond onto my finger.

His hands still know my body.
His mouth whispers the sins I swore to forget.
And when he touches me—I break.

Then the test turns positive. Again.
Now I’m drowning in
The daughter he’s never met.
And the life growing inside me.

My lies are crumbling.
And so am I.
Because one brutal truth remains—

The Pakhan isn't one to forgive...
And he never forgets.


Readers This is full-length standalone, secret baby, Russian bratva, age-gap, romantic suspense.

Loved Pavel and Kat

She loved him once but walked away.

Five years later, she's marrying him to get revenge.

She wasn't counting on feeling that spark between them.

There are secrets she's keeping.

She's pregnant and they already have a daughter.

K.C. Crowne delivers an amazing Bratva story featuring Katerina Andreev and Pavel Fetisov. I think she knocked this one out of the park by creating a deviously spun web filled with the secrets, lies, betrayals and alliances that keep you turning page after page to see what happens next! Make no mistake about it you literally jump right into a wedding between these two and their past and future slowly unfold!

I absolutely adored how Pavel and Kat have a history and then life broke them apart with the death of Kat’s parents. She disappears and has been fed all these rumors and stories over the years that the Andreev family is to blame for their tragedy. But Kat is not so squeaky clean as she’s been keeping a daughter from Pavel and hiding for almost 6 years. Bam! They’re getting married to strengthen the families as far as Pavel is concerned but Kat has other plans as her brother Piotr decides she needs to kill Pavel and get revenge for their family - and it needs to be on their wedding night! Oh snap! Twists and turns occur but one thing is true - their chemistry and passion can be seen on the page and it’s captivating and raw. I love how even with time their connection is palpable! There are a lot of secrets and lies between the two and I love how they take it in stride and try to work things out with one another. Pavel understands Kat and to not disregard her in a mafia lifestyle and try to understand her shows his maturity and how much he cared for her!

The family drama was insane! Vlad and Piotr are so different but they both seem to care for Katerina and Ana in different ways. As the story unfolds, the backstabbing and betrayal become clearer. It’s a bittersweet ending for the Andreev family but I believe the family ends up on better footing after everything comes to light.

This story was a breath of fresh air for a Bratva romance! Kat and Pavel definitely break the mold and you definitely do not want to miss out!

Sinful Union is a suspenseful and a page turning mafia romance. The story is captivating from beginning to end, entertaining and an enjoyable read. This novel had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. I absolutely didn’t want to set this book down until I read the last page. Sinful Union is beautifully written, exceptionally balanced with action/romance and perfectly executed by K.C. Crowne. I’ve read multiple books by this author, including this one, I’ve enjoyed reading each one of them. I think this author creates and writes incredible stories that are entertaining and absolute joy to read. I’m looking forward to seeing what this author’s next book will be about. Sinful Union is the story of Kat and Pavel. The characters are well developed and beautifully executed throughout the story. The chemistry between these two characters is undeniably irresistible to the point where neither one of them could no longer ignore the feelings between them. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both Kat and Pavel as well as witnessing their story come to life through the pages of this book. I love that they have a happy ending to their story with them being happy together as a couple raising their children. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a new mafia romance to read.

Want a hard read at all but it was just eh. Not bad but not really exciting. I felt like MMC Pavel was a great character but he was to lenient with the FMC Kat. He and Kat were once together. He was the love of her life, and she ended up walking away from him because her brother told her or rather convinced her that he was responsible for their parents death so instead of asking him she ends up walking away six months after she walks away she finds out she’s pregnant and then disappears for six years and then comes back after six years and marry him. Her brother comes up with a plan for her to poison him on their wedding night so that they can wipe him out because he is the one that put the head out on their parents. Little by little she realizes that her brother isn’t right and there’s something more there about her parent’s death than he is letting on and she doesn’t believe that Pavel really did it. She tells Pavel about his daughter and he’s not mad or anything with her for keeping their daughter from him. I’m not saying he needed to be pissed and beat her over it but there needed to be some sort of heated discussion with Kat over what she did. He’s the big bad Bratva boss and he just was completely okay with her keeping this big secret from him

It wasn’t a bad book, loved the relationship between Pavel and Kat, I feel like I wanted more fire if that makes sense. Again not a bad book

Six years ago she thought he was her everything until her brother told her the unthinkable, that he was responsible for her parents' deaths. She left him, not telling him that she was taking something of his with her, his baby. Now she is walking down the aisle to the very same man and he has no idea they have a daughter. She is supposed to get revenge for her family, but what if all isn't as it seems. The more time she spends with him, the more she thinks that she has been manipulated and he might not be the bad guy, as a matter of fact he might even be her protector. They have a romance arc as they have strong chemistry and passion that has not dissipated even after the time apart. They are just as attracted to each other, and find themselves spending hot and steamy nights together even as she is keeping secrets. In addition to their romance arc, is the mafia family drama arc. They have to find out who really killed her parents, and what the end game is for their rivals. Through trust and their connection they build a happily ever after for themselves in the midst of the drama. It was a good story, I found myself just wanting a little more.

I love a good mafia romance and this is another one to add to my collection. It hit all the boxes, murder, revenge, alliances, plot twists, and so much steamy tension it sizzled!

Katrina Andreev agreed to be marriage to Pavel Fetisov with the intent to kill him because she thought he was responsible for her parents death. But there’s a problem. She can’t bring herself to go through with it when he looks at her like she’s his whole world, or when he touches her and she looses all thought processes.

I loved the drama in this story. If you have a messed up family tree like I do, you can completely relate to the family drama that Kat has.

The author had me hooked from the beginning and I was completely wrapped up in this story. It’s a quick read but man it’s so action packed. The lies and betrayals rack up and you are wondering which was is up.

I loved the two epilogues from each one of the main characters perspectives. It was a great ending to an engaging story.

Can’t wait to read more by this author!.

Bratva stories are intriguing to me. There's something about that forbidden world that is romanticized, maybe it's because it's filled with bad boys. And what dark romance reader doesn't love that? KC crown has done it again! The main characters are intriguing, and their development throughout the story is captivating. For a while I wasn't sure I was going to get a happy ending, I was worried I was going to end on a cliffhanger. I wasn't sure how I was going to survive that. But the story wrapped up in the best way possible. I love heas, and this one didn't disappoint. There's wonderful spice, the backstory of the main characters made me want to read faster. I had to learn more about their history together, and watch as their future unfolded. I can see side stories with each of the supporting characters. This was a great fast read, not too complicated, as I have seen some stories become. This is definitely a recommended read!.

Kat and Patel

This was a great story of strength, love and family loyalty. Kat had fallen for Pavel six years ago and unintentionally got pregnant knowing the kind of work Pavel did. She knew she had to keep her baby safe and away from that kind of life fast-forward five years later the wars are now beginning amongst the brotherhood of the Bratva rival gangs. everybody wants to take over now. In order to create an alliance between two families Katfinds herself getting married to Pavel with the instructions to kill him on their wedding night. She finds that she is not convinced that he is responsible for her parents murder, and she is so drawn to him as well as him being her daughter’s father that she simply cannot go through with it. As the story unfolds you see the ruthlessness of this kind of life and how one must always look over your shoulder. In the end, family loyalty wins out, and there is peace for at least the time being I loved this story I will definitely be reading another one in this series. Well done..

4.5 stars for Kat and Pavel's story.
This story is full of drama, spice and action.
Kat is a strong FMC. She and Pavel were a couple at one time. Kat was fed lies and when she found out she was pregnant with Pavel's baby she was taken away to raise her baby in safety. Six years later she's back and marrying Pavel. Her brother has ordered her to kill (poison) Pavel on their wedding night but she can't do it. She realizes the stories she'd been told were just lies and that she still loves him. She's hidden their child from Pavel for quite some time (beyond the years away) and does eventually tell him about her.

Pavel is a strong MMC being he's the head of his family. He's always loved Kat and never understood why she left. He's been lied to as well all this time. As the lies come to light he's ready. When he finds out about Ana and then that Kat is carrying another of his babies, he's even more determined to keep his whole family safe. But can he?

This was a fast read for me. The storyline easy to follow without a ton of side characters. I enjoyed this story.

I can never get enough of KC Crowne books. They are cleverly crafted to draw the reader into the storyline. This book is an excellent example. It has the ultimate betrayal of a brother. False alliances and backstabbing alliances are present . The twists and turns this story takes is breathtaking and disturbing. The characters as so believable and beautifully written. The love story is so good between Kat and Pavel. It is hot and sexy but it is so much more. Their love has to survive years of lies and betrayal before they can reach their happy conclusion. Pavel takes it all in stride. He never over reacts to Kat’s lies or omission of truth when she admits the truth. There are some big ones too! I throughly enjoyed this book. I could not put it down until I finished it. I would give it more than 5 stars if possible.

Kat (princess from the Andreev Bratva) and Pavel (head of the Fetisov Bratva) have history - Ana, their daughter.
Kat kept her a secret after she gave birth following a hot fling six years ago as her brother Piotr told Kat that Pavel was responsible for their parents’ death.
Now - based on Piotr’s decision - she is tasked to marry Pavel and to poison him during their wedding night, a power play plotted by Piotr to revenge his parents, get rid of his arch enemy and to win over the whole town.
However, Kat still has loads of feelings for Pavel, and he could never forget the girl that got away … whenever they meet, the room starts sizzling!
BUT Piotr wants his plan to be executed without a hitch …
This book is a total page turner; the perfect mix of interesting characters, personal drama, loads of foul play and hidden secrets and a little girl who steals the show 😉.

A Secret Baby, Bratva Romance. Katerina aka Kat and Pavel’s story. A story filled full of insecurity, secrets, family betrayal, lies, deceit, love, trust, twists and turns.
Kat and Pavel were all set to marry and Kat’s oldest brother Piotr convinced Kat that Pavel was the one that purposely caused the accident that killed both their parents. Katerina walked away from the arranged marriage to Pavel. Fast forward six years and Piotr has arranged a wedding between Kat and Pavel again but, with Kat making promises to Piotr that she doesn’t know if she can keep and the fact that Pavel has a five year old daughter Ana that he knows nothing of; several big secrets to start this marriage out with. A fantastic read. Constant smooth flow. Storyline keeps you turning pages. You will be completely entranced from front to back. Cannot put this down. I highly recommend.

Another great

I love all the books in the series. But the ones about the Bratva always have me on the edge of my seat. Just like with KC Crowne’s other books, this book has everything you could possibly want in a romance book. But it’s more. Their relationship starts out based on lies. Kat it’s such a strong character, and of course being a Bratva princess makes her even stronger. Six years after running from Pavel, a member of a different brava, she was pregnant and forced to hide away, now she is for Ed to marry and kill him on her brother‘s orders. So many secrets, including a five-year-old daughter start out their relationship. This book has so many secrets, deception and lies, love, and hate, and no way to put it down. The steamy seems fit perfectly into their relationship. I couldn’t believe I was actually surprised in this book, usually I can figure stuff out pretty good. Great book by a great author, and a perfect happily ever after.

Kat is set to marry Pavel, the man she was in love with 6 years ago before she found out he was likely responsible for the murder of her parents. Now, she is merely a pawn for her brother to avenge the family by killing her new husband on their wedding night. But Paveland Kat have unfinished business such as a daughter Pavel knows nothing about and a passion that has not lessened in the time they’ve been apart. Kat can no longer bring herself to kill Pavel but there are doubts as to what actually happened and the partnership Pavel was expecting due to their union is being targeted by forces closer to home then either he or Kat realizes. Be prepared for unresolved feelings of betrayal, passion, family conflict and plenty of excitement. Always love KC Crowne’s stories and can’t put them down.

Katerina (Kat) is tasked by her brother Piotr to marry Pavel Fetisov, who caused the death of their parents, and then poison him on their wedding night. Things are not as simple as they seem. Kat finds it hard to believe that her former love, Pavel, the father of her daughter, who is treating her like a queen, could have had anything to do with her parents death. She is determined to discover the truth.

I loved this Bratva tale. There is action, danger, violence, deception, and treachery. Kat is a strong, intelligent woman seeking to unravel the mystery surrounding her and her family. Pavel is kind and supportive of her, even though he feels she is keeping secrets from him and is uncertain of her loyalty. There is plenty of spice in this story and a HEA.

A backstabbing war is brewing!
The Russian Bratva, led by Pakhan Pavel Felisova, is set to join forces with the Andreevs Mafia to enhance their power and security by marrying Katerina “Kat” Andreevs. Pavel and Kat have a secret history that goes back six years. They were lovers, and Kat had a five-year-old secret daughter named Ana from their relationship. The true story for this marriage is that Kat is supposed to poison Pavel on their wedding night to avenge his killing of their parents. Kat is just not a murderer. Love wins out.
There is a RAT in this story, and it isn’t Pavel Felisova. Kat’s family is close with oddball brother Piotr, now the Don of the Andreevs' crime family, and brother Vlad, a real sweetheart. This is a highly complicated story, and the villain is a devious psychopath.
I loved Pavel and Kat. Linda

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Kat Novikov & Pavel Fetisov. When this book opens we find that Kat is about to marry then ruin the man who she believes killed her parents. Why is she marrying him then it is the only way to get to him. She just hopes she can keep her biggest secret in the process. Pavel knows that Kat is his woman and will do anything to prove to her he isn't what she thinks he is. When he learns about their daughter he knows he will do anything in his power to not only protect his new wife but he daughter as well. Can they all find a HEA or will other make sure that never happens?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone. This book will take you on a ride you won't want off of.

Six years ago Kat and Paval were together headed toward a marriage as planned by her father but then he and her mother were killed in a accident which her younger brother Piota claimed was orchestrated by Paval and his men being that they are all Bratva. Now she is walking toward the alter and him but her plan is to marry him then kill him but that night she just could not do it because she is in love with him as she has been for six years which left her with her beautiful daughter Ana which he knows nothing about. This is a book about betrayal in the worse way and the love that has endured it all. Great book.

Great book! Action, danger, secrets and steam.

When Mafia princess Kat is encouraged to marry Mafia Don Pavel to kill him, history, secrets
and complications get in the way.

Kat is stubborn, struggling with misconceptions and a duty she doesn't want to perform let alone the secrets she has hidden from Pavel. Yet that not forgotten draw to her new husband, halts her moving forward with the plan.

The connection and their chemistry is so strong. And Pavel seems different to what she's remembered.

So well done I loved these two. An amazing plot that drew me in and characters that more than fulfil their roles. So good!!.

Kat and Pavel are reunited in an arranged marriage.
Kat has been influenced by her brother to end Pavel. Yet she remembers her past with him and has feelings. Something is not right and Kat needs to know the truth.
I gave this a 3 star, tha still means I liked the book.
However, it was not as complex as it could have been.
Excluding the adult scenes, (if that is all that you like in a story you will be happy) it took until halfway thru until the real drama and action began, then I was hooked. I do like a story as well as adult scenes, and I think I Lean more towards story than anything else.
Still an enjoyable read. Flowed well and finished it quickly.

Katerina Andrevev and Pavel Fetisova were close friends years ago and ready to marry, then her parents were murdered. Six years later Kat’s brother, Piotr, makes an alliance with his best friend, Pavel, the man he says is responsible for their parent’s murders. An intriguing story as Kat and Pavel travel treacherous waters of the Russian Bratva and making dangerous alliances. I love how Kat is loyal to a fault, she's a fighter and she wants revenge. She wants to discover the truth of her parents murder. She’s a strong independent young woman, she stands up to Pavel, but can she resist him? She wants answers who really killed her parents? Can she trust him with her love a second time? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Six years ago Kat Andreev was in love with her brother's friend, Pavel Fetisov. When her parents died, her brother says it was Pavel, her heart was broken. When she finds out she is pregnant, she is whisked away. Now she is about to marry Pavel, with sole purpose to get rid of him. She does not count on how he still makes her feel.

Pavel knows there is something Kat is not telling him, she is hiding something. Business keeps him preoccupied until events start him to question if her brother is really his friend.

There is so much drama, lies, and betrayal. Pavel was more understanding than I would have been.

This was a beautiful story about betrayal and lies. Kat first had a relationship with Pavel and on the night that it would be known that she was promised to him, her parents died in an accident and her brother told her that Pavel and his men were behind it because he is the Bratva. She disappeared with a memento of him and 6 years later she returns with her daughter that he knows nothing about. As revenge, the intention is that he does not survive the wedding night but she cannot bring herself to do it. A story with many twists and turns and enough hot and steamy scenes, action, drama, romance and much more.

The beginning was great and I could feel the tension between Kat & Pavel but everything that happened after that was just illogical. The plot wasn't strong enough and I expected a lot of anger and mistrust from Pavel's side because Kat hid their daughter for six years just because her brother manipulated her into thinking that she has to get revenge on Pavel. But all it took was once single conversation and he forgot about all that. Ana & Pavel didn't even get time to bond properly and she was mostly with her nanny rather than her parents the entire time. Everything after their wedding just felt so absurd and the plot was so predictable. If the execution was done right, I would've liked this book. But unfortunately, the story and characters were just lackluster.

Nothing like good old family drama and betrayal smack in the middle of a Bratva love story. K C Crowne delivers a fast-paced story of betrayal, murder, twists and turns in the story just when you think you know where you are headed. Kat and Pavel were together 6 years ago and were torn apart by the ultimate betrayal of a family member. Lies were told and lives were irrevocable altered. This started as a revenge for Kat. She was marrying Pavel so she could murder him for killing her parents. That was something she found she could ultimately not do. This story will keep you engaged start to finish, and I highly recommend this author and this story for a quick, well written engaging story.

A Second Chance Nearly Lost -
OMG! I have been counting down the days until I could read this book and I can say without a shadow of doubt, that K.C. Crowne didn’t disappoint. I am so glad I decided to read this book on Saturday, because it definitely took me on one heck of a rollercoaster ride and I went through so may emotions, that I didn’t think I could read anything else. My experience reading this book was definitely worth the time it took me to finish reading it, so I dare you to grab a copy of this book now and entertain yourself, as you delve into the pages of this mesmerising tale.
