Forced plus-size Bride of the Bratva: Age Gap Mafia Romance

by Lexi Carter

He stalked me, forced me into marriage, and claimed my plus-size curves.
I’m a psychology student, trapped in a deadly game with a Bratva beast.
My brother stole millions from the Rusnak empire, and I’m the price of his life.
Adrian Rusnak, a violent monster, has watched me from the shadows for a year.

I didn’t know he’d been tracking my life, controlling my every move.
I didn’t know he’d bind me in marriage to settle my brother’s debt.
He locks me in his estate, where I’m his wife and his prisoner.
His brutal touch scares me, but his protection stirs my heart.

He’s a scarred enforcer, his body marked by blood and pain.
He stalks my every step, seduces my curves, demands submission.
I fight, slap him, resist, but my body craves his cruel touch.
His obsession cages me, yet shields me from a deadly world.

Will his savage love make me his queen or keep me chained?

The Rusnak Bratva are fierce, merciless, and unyielding. They seize what they desire, shatter what defies them, and mend what they choose to keep. If they claim you as their bride, resistance is futile, and surrender will bind you to their dark, protective embrace forever.

Very good

This is the 2nd book in the series and it was awesome. The h is the best friend of the h from the first book. She is a psychology student who lives a simple life. She is a curvy woman who is kind, beautiful and loyal. The H is the brother of the previous H and has been stalking her ever since he first saw her. Her brother was accused of stealing from the Bratva and they were going to kill him. The H forces her to marry him to save her brother. In the beginning she was terrified and mistrusted him but he proved his love for her. The plot involves a betrayal, murder, attended murder and revenge. Very good and well written. Great epilogue.

Not as dark to me as it seems to others—more like the deep blue of a summer night when your eyes have adjusted enough to make out the silhouettes of familiar things. Very good, like the first sip of hot coffee on a winter morning, warming from the inside out.

PLUS SIZE MY BUTT

I love reading plus size romance . I look for men who love them no matter their size. I look for the women who learn how to love themselves and who learn how to deal with the world at large. This book should not be labeled plus size in my opinion.
