Popov Bratva #1
Tattooed Vow
He’s danger in a tailored suit. I’m the line he was never meant to cross. And now I’m carrying his baby.
Dimitri Popov lives in the shadows—an enforcer, a killer, the brother who protects the Avilov Bratva empire with ruthless precision.
He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t flinch. And he sure as hell doesn’t fall in love.
Until me.
It started with a kiss that scorched through my defenses and a threat that sent us running.
Now I’m tangled in a world of blood-soaked loyalty and forbidden heat.
And Dimitri? He’s become my only safe place in a world that wants me dead.
He says I’m his. That he'll protect me at any cost. Kill for me. Die for me. And the terrifying truth?
I want him to.
But protecting me might just destroy us both.
Dark, addictive, and dripping with danger, Book One will leave your heart racing and your sheets on fire. This is not just a love story—it’s war.

Sadly, Dimitri and Sandy’s characters didn’t hold my interest.
Also, all those detailed descriptions tired me…
It was beyond me how Dimitri’s enemy knew that Sandy was his weakness when even his own brother had no idea… 🤷🏻♀️

It's not been all that long ago that I discovered this author and I've learned one thing in all of her books that I've read. She's consistent! She consistently brings stories and characters that are completely consuming, intriguing and she's very deliberate in her delivery of these stories. Without fail, every single story has been fantastic and this one is no exception. Tattooed Vow is book 1 of this authors new Popov Bratva series. It's Dimitri and Sandy's intense, dramatic, action action filled story that kept me glued to the pages from start to finish. Dimitri Popov is second in command in the Avalov Bratva as well as the Pakhans brother. Sandy is family as well being sister in law to the Pakhan. She's also one he can't get out of his mind, nor can she get him out of her mind. They skirt around each other for the longest time and when they finally get it together a ghost from the past emerges and wreaks havoc in their lives. It ends on a cliffhanger of course but
their journey is an absolute must read!
“To family. To love. And to the ones we would kill for.”

Wow what a book, the author excelled once again.We follow the relationship between Dimitri and Sandy. Book 1
Tattooed Vow is filled with intense action and drama and as each page is turned your relive the scenes with both MMC and FMC. This book is definitely worth reading. Warning it ends with a cliffhanger....not something I enjoy because I become to impatient and hate waiting for the release of Book 2. Received this copy of book as ARC copy.

This is another great series from Kat Steele. Her characters are well developed and her story lines are easy to follow. She makes her readers feel like they're right there with the characters experiencing whatever they're experiencing. Will highly recommend reading this book!

Dimitri and Sandy drew me into this story along with its drama. He is second in command along with being the Pakhan's brother. He and Sandy are drawn to each other but try to ignore it until they can't. Everything is going great until a threat comes along and upends everything. Will Dimitri be able to keep Sandy safe from imminent danger. This thrilling story had me mesmerized.

OMG this was another amazing mafia love story. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was so intense. I was on the verge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. The book cover caught my attention it was captivating. Sandy and Dimitri their romance was so forbidden it was so intense but the tension between was like a rollercoaster ride of passion and hate vs love with a danger of lust and romance. She was intrigued with the danger and the mystery of being with him in this moment or could it be about revenge. The chemistry between them was sexual tension and the physical attraction was out of this world and one night with him will change her life forever in this with an unexpected surprise.
I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed . I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest review. Trina Jones
