Sold to the Bratva

Sinful Mafia Daddies #2

by Natasha L. Black

My father didn’t protect me.
He auctioned me off.
Straight into the arms of a ruthless man twice my age.

The devil dressed in a three-piece suit.…
Isaac Kozlov.
A man who doesn’t request—he commands .

One vow stole my freedom.
One night in his bed ruined my resolve.

I swore I’d never love him.
Never crave the touch of a man who rules by fear.

But Isaac doesn’t bend.
He breaks.
And every time he claims me, my hatred burns into dangerous desire.

Then his enemies strike.
I’m kidnapped. A pawn in a war I never asked to play.

His enemies thought they could take me.
They forgot who owns me.

Isaac will scorch the earth to bring me back.
Not for love. Not for mercy.
Because in his world, possession is permanent.

And once I’m his again,
he’ll ruin me in ways I’ll never recover from—
starting with the baby I swore I’d never give him.

This is a full-length standalone mafia romance. No cliff hanger. Happily ever after guaranteed!

Thoughts:

1. And now I need Mikhail and Evie's stories. Honestly, I was kind of hoping there'd be hints, or a full out admittance, that they'd end up together.

You might want to make sure to double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha’s personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love along the way. They say it is a thin line between love and hate well our girl proves that 😊. Isaac isn’t a man you want on your radar breaths, bleeds bratva, dangerous, ruthless on a good day, deadly every day, really never had much interest in marriage until he met his intended bride to be, and she brings out something in him that he didn’t see coming her very spirit calls to him he knows she belongs to him now he just have to show his little spitfire (buckle up). Katya is sweet but spicy has advocated for herself, her freedom to choose for as long as she knew what kind of family she was born into but it was all for nothing when her father arranges her marriage to a man twice her age so she does the only thing she can acts out in hopes it will make her soon to be husband not want her for a wife not realizing that is one of the reason he is drawn to her but when she is honest with herself she is drawn to him and the closer she gets to marriage day the more she wonders if she will lose herself. But once married her husband tries his best to show her, tell her he doesn’t want her spirit broken he wants her happy in fact it was that very spirit that drew him in but when she is taken will he get to her in time to save her, will they find out who betrayed them, will they find out the truth about her father what he has been up to, will she accept her marriage being honest about her feelings, will he be honest about his feelings, and can they find happiness somewhere along the way of discovery?

True Love Can Change Anyone -
Katya tried everything possible to resist the life that her father had planned for her, but it was all for nothing, as he arranged a marriage for her in exchange for a peace deal. Isaac was weary when a rival Pakhan offered the daughter of one of his men in exchange for peace between them, but witnessing the young lady’s defiance against the marriage, made him agree to the deal. Even though Katya wasn’t happy about the prospect of being married to Isaac and tried everything possible to make him upset, she soon found herself accepting her fate and spending time with him changed the way she felt about him.

Isaac and Katya’s attraction for each other grew over time and led to a change in the dynamics of their relationship. However, neither Isaac nor Katya expected their lives to change so quickly with the life changing news they received, but they were happy about it. Katya didn’t expect her father’s negative attitude toward her when she told him about her news, but she didn’t think anything about it and went on with her life.

Unfortunately, just as Katya and Isaac were preparing for the arrival of the new member of their family, all hell broke loose in their home and got her to safety whilst defending himself. Luckily, Isaac and Katya got themselves out of harm’s way, but they were very shocked and upset to discover the identity of the people who had been plotting against them. Nevertheless, Isaac and Katya got the happily ever after they wanted.

OMFG! This was a mafia arranged marriage romance story with a twist that I never expected. The story started with a bang and didn’t slow down at any point, which had me totally engrossed and unable to take a break until I finished reading it. I suggest you carve out a few hours where you won’t be interrupted before you start reading this book, so you can have a truly enjoyable reading experience. I highly recommend this fantastic book to everyone.

[Shelley G]

this was a very interesting well written book that was enjoyable to read. Katya is a 22 yr old virgin mafia daughter who is forced to marry a man twice her age Isaac a bratva boss. she tries everything to get out of the wedding thinking if she is defiant, a brat, and acts out it will put Issac off the idea but it actually intrigues him and makes him want her more. He likes her fire, her spirit and she makes him feel alive and it doesn't hurt that they have incredible chemistry when near each other. So the marriage happens and immediately things explode in the bedroom and Isaac slowly proves to Katya that he isn't out to crush her dreams or break her spirit, that he really wants to make her happy and slowly she sees this marriage isn't such a bad thing after all. Then she finds out after just a few weeks she is pregnant. She isn't used to being a wife and sure isn't ready to be a mother and fear sets in despite isaac assuring her they will manage together. then she's kidnapped and rescued and has to deal with her father acting strange. slowly she realizes she's falling for her new husband who was not her choice and isaac is falling for her too. as they come to realize their feelings their relationship continues to develop while betrayal is closing in.
I liked that this story focused more on the dynamics between characters and the issues they faced rather than the violent lifestyle of the mafia/bratva. while it was in the story it wasn't the main focus. the developing relationships and the abundance of conflicting emotions while wading thru hurts, fears, assumptions, expectations, duty, and family loyalty were center stage, true to life and written well. the extra epilogues were great as well. i love a great ending.

[Rebel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sold to the Bratva by Natasha L. Black was one of those books I picked up and couldn’t put down. It’s dark, intense, and oh-so-twisted in the best way. If you love mafia romance with high stakes, a ruthless anti-hero, and a heroine caught between defiance and desire, this story delivers every bit of that tension.
Isaac Kozlov is the kind of man who commands the page. Older, powerful, and absolutely merciless—yet there’s something about the way he fixates on the heroine that makes you want to see just how far he’ll go. And her? I loved how strong-willed she was, even when thrown into a life she never chose. The push-and-pull between them is electric—hate turning into desire, fear tangled with craving—it’s the kind of chemistry that keeps you flipping pages long after you should’ve gone to bed.
What stood out most to me was how raw and unapologetic the story felt. This isn’t a safe, sweet romance—it’s gritty, emotional, and full of fire. Isaac’s world is one of possession and power, and watching her navigate it while discovering her own strength made the book impossible to walk away from. The kidnapping twist had me on edge, and Isaac’s response reminded me why these dangerous, broken men make such addictive reads—because they’ll burn the world down for the one woman they refuse to lose.
If you’re looking for a lighthearted romance, this isn’t it. But if you’re in the mood for something darker—where passion, danger, and obsession collide—Sold to the Bratva will grab hold and not let go. Natasha L. Black nailed this one, and I’ll definitely be diving into more of her mafia romances.

[Natalia Ferreira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Heads up — this one’s dark, messy, and absolutely addictive. 🔥

Wow. From the first line of the intro— “My father didn’t protect me. He auctioned me off.” — I was already pulled into a story that’s equal parts brutal and magnetic. Isaac Kozlov is the kind of villain-turned-hero who will make your chest hurt: twice the heroine’s age, icy, commanding, and completely relentless. He doesn’t ask. He takes. And somehow, even as she swears she’ll never love him, the hate between them combusts into something dangerously, horribly irresistible.

This is a book about power and possession more than gentle romance. The protagonist’s journey from betrayed and sold to a woman who’s claimed (and then kidnapped) plays out with high stakes — and yes, some very dark scenes. When Isaac’s enemies snatch her, the rescue isn’t a cute love confession; it’s scorched-earth, violent, and possessive. If you like your romance with violence, obsession, and a hero who’ll burn the world for what he thinks is his, this will hit that spot.

Content warning: auctioning, kidnapping, non-consensual dynamics, age gap, and enforced possession. This isn’t for readers wanting soft, consensual love stories — it’s aggressive, intense, and designed to provoke strong feelings (and probably a few angry gasps).

Bottom line: If you crave dark romance where love is messy, ownership is literal, and the line between hatred and desire is deliciously blurred, give this one a shot. I couldn’t look away.

[Christine · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a fast and somewhat fun read. I just came off a bad read by a favorite author and picked this one at random and it fit the bill.

It is not a long book and I knocked it out in about 5 hours. It tells the story of Issac Kazlov, a Bratva head and his forced marriage to Katya, the daughter of another Bratva head. She does not want the marriage but Issac is intrigued and they end up husband and wife. What transpires is exactly as one would expect but they end up liking one another and then start caring for and falling in love with each other.

There is an element of the “business” that is woven in parts throughout the book and Katya does play an unwitting role in passing information to her father, which hurts some of Issac’s business but the author knowingly brushes those crumbs away. The age gap thing is not a thing. Katya is 22 and Issac is 42 so in no way is he decrepit. There is steam in this book but imo, it was low. Obvious but low. It says a lot about the line we are walking where obvious intimacy is plain white bread.

In spite of these hiccups, it was a fun quick read that washed away the taste of a bad read.

I might take a chance on other books by this author as long as the stories don’t get repititious.

[Mafia Wife · Rating 4 out of 5]

She has always hated that she was being raised to be a family pawn. She has been hoping that her father will relent and let her make her own choices, but when he presents her new fiancé to her, she knows that she has run out of time. She tries to make him reject her, but he only seems amused by her behavior. He never thought much about getting married, but when he saw her and the spitfire in her eyes he knew he was up for the challenge. The men in her family don't make promises to women, they just take what they want. But he gives her hope for something different when he lets her know that he is interested in what she wants and what makes her happy. She doesn't know if she can let her guard down, but he sure makes her want to try. She is a little bratty in the beginning but she becomes better as the story progresses and you can become invested in them getting a happily ever after. The spice was steamy and passionate, there is an additional family drama arc to navigate, but it unfolds well. It was a little rough in the beginning for me, but I came around and enjoyed the story.

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love truly can change a persons perspective. When Katya is told that she is going to marry Isaac who is the Pakhan of another family, she is definitely not happy. Her papa has other ideas and really doesn’t take her happiness into consideration. She has been groomed to do what’s best for “the family”. Isaac was approached by her father and their Pakhan Oleg regarding the marriage and blending the two families. He wasn’t looking for a wife at that time either until Katya walked into the room that is. Her fire and rebellion is one of the things that attracted him to her from the beginning. What they don’t realize is even out of the worst circumstances, come the best possibilities. Them falling in love is one and the other is building a family. When her father and Oleg come after Isaac since this whole marriage wasn’t about a truce but about taking over, their relationship just becomes stronger. He shows her what a person who truly loves someone will do for them and put them above everything else, even if he is the Pakhan. This is one of my favorite authors and has been for years. This book was written well, had a great storyline and enjoyable characters. Enjoy

** 5 stars **

Sold to the Bratva was such an amazing story. I was hooked from the beginning. I enjoyed the fast pace, emotions, and the suspense.

Katya is being forced into an arranged marriage to Isaac. She is so upset that she is being forced to marry someone she doesn't love that she rebels against her father. She wants to make Isaac disinterested in her so she does everything she can to make him miserable. She doesn't realize this only makes him like her more.

Katya and Isaac's chemistry was off the charts. Katya didn't want to like Isaac but he was so good with her that she couldn't help but care for him. I loved Katya's spirit. She didn't change herself for anyone. I loved how Isaac loved her spirit and respected her for it. He let her be herself.

Katya and Isaac's story was filled with suspense and surprises you won't see coming. I loved how we got to see how their relationship stood against their adversities. Highly recommended.

Sold to the Bratva pulled me in from the very first page and didn’t let go. This story has everything I love in a dark mafia romance—tension, passion, danger, and characters that feel raw and real. Katya’s strength and defiance made her such a compelling heroine, and I loved watching her navigate a world where every choice was taken from her. Isaac, on the other hand, is brooding, commanding, and impossible to ignore. The chemistry between them crackles on every page, mixing hate, desire, and vulnerability in a way that kept me hooked.

What stood out to me most was how the author balanced the darker themes of power and control with moments of tenderness and emotional depth. Even when the story was gritty, I couldn’t help but root for these two. It’s the kind of romance that keeps you up late at night saying “just one more chapter.”

If you enjoy mafia romances with an age gap, forced marriage, and high-stakes drama, this one is absolutely worth the read.

A forced Bratva marriage. A bunch of betrayals, violence, kidnapping and a soul mate discovered. This is what this book has to offer. Katya is 22 years old and her father forces her to marry a man 20 years older. Isaac see her as a challenge but he has a strong chemistry reaction to her as well. They find their way to a HEA with in their marriage. This is a strong and sexual attraction for them both that leads to love. The writer does a great job with the plot and the characters. It kept me interested in the outcome of the story. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down . I enjoyed the banter between Katya and Isaac before they got married. The dress she picked out for their wedding was perfect. Isaac was supposed to be upset but he was far from upset. He thought she was beautiful. He enjoys her spunk and honesty. Every woman should want an Isaac and every man should want a Katya.

[Chelsea · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was insta love/ insta lust for the MMC, who was really lovey dovey for a mafia dude. The FMC was trying to get out of the arranged marriage but after the wedding was pretty much all in. She tried canceling the vendors and being kinda disagreeable and that was pretty much it. Mafia romance usually has a lot of action scenes or morally gray characters and this story was really more about the romance and there wasnt a ton of conflict except at the end. The blurb talks about her being kidnapped but that never happens. There is a lot of character building for the FMC, but less so for the MMC. The relationship goes from cold to hot to soul mates, and it felt sort of disjointed for me. If you are looking for an easy spicy read or if you are interested in Mafia romance but dont want any of the dark stuff, then this is for you. ARC copy review.

Sold to the Bratva was a quick insta list mafia romance. Overall the storyline I liked but there was just some things lacking for me. Isaac was suppose to be in his mid 40s and he honestly talked like someone who was 25 and you didn’t get much character development outside of his love for Kayta. Which I 100% support but Kayta on the other hand had a backstory, depth and honestly a personality that I felt like Issac didn’t have. Also he big tension moment in the middle fell flat for me it wasn’t enough for the plot point it was trying to convey. Now the ending that was great, loved how the story ended and the epilogue, gahhh my heart ❤️.

If you’re a mafia romance fan like me you’ll definitely want to try this one out.

She is meant to broker peace but does a lot more

Sold to the Bratva is the second book in the Sinful Mafia Daddies series. Sin is one way to describe Isaac Kozlov, and he will take you down with him into his dark and ruthless world and bed. Katya is a young woman who has dreams which are about to be interrupted when her father basically auctions her off for a deal. She is sassy and knows what she wants and does not want, and she does not want to be a bargaining chip. It is Isaac, a man who is twice her age, that marries Katya. She piques his interest immediately and that means he is about to take very good care of her. The story has some twists and turns, drama, suspense, passion and love.

[K. Smock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Isaac Kozlov was never expecting to get married though he is always willing to take advantage of an opportunity. When he is gifted Katya to have peace, he decides to take advantage. There is something about her that captivates him. He also knows he can't let anyone know she is his weakness. Katya wants nothing to do with this arranged marriage and goes about doing everything and anything she can to try to get Isaac to cancel. Her disobedience becomes a challenge to him. Things move fast in their marriage and there are a bunch of surprises in the story that has you reading to the last page.

ARC Review: Sold to the Bratva by Natasha Black

✨ ARC Disclosure: Thank you to Natasha Black for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sold to the Bratva is a fiery, fast-paced romance that hooked me right away. Katya is forced into marriage by her manipulative father, but instead of playing the role of the obedient bride, she decides to rebel. Her plan? To push back against her new husband, Isaac, until he calls the whole thing off. But what Katya doesn’t expect is that her defiance only makes her more captivating to Isaac.

The chemistry between these two is absolutely electric. I loved how their relationship unfolded—slowly, with tension and banter, before building into something heartfelt and real. What stood out to me most was the way Isaac treated Katya. He respected her, listened to her, and gave her the freedom to find joy in her own ways. That dynamic really set their romance apart, especially against the backdrop of Katya’s father, who was such a controlling, manipulative presence.

The balance between danger, loyalty, and love made this story a page-turner. Natasha Black delivers not just steamy tension but also a genuine romance built on trust and mutual respect. By the end, I was completely invested in Katya and Isaac and rooting for them to overcome everything thrown their way.

This is Katya and Isaac's story. The business side is in the background. It's talked about but not much else. The personal story is exceptionally good. Katya is a rebel but with rules. Her dad and his boss decide to marry her off as a peace deal. Unfortunately, the baddies are telegraphed. It was so much fun watching Katya try to stop the wedding. While her and Isaac grow together and that's the best part of the story, she seems to lose some feistiness. There's an undercurrent in the relationship with her father that would have been interesting to explore. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Katya is auctioned off by her father to Isaac Kozlov, a man who is ruthless and commanding. She doesn't realize that all of her struggles and defiance draw his eyes to her. He doesn't want to erase her dreams, he wants to be a part of them.

**Potential Spoiler**
I loved seeing Isaac and Katya fall for each other. The only problem I had in the book was when she delivered their baby. He came into the room dirty and disheveled; I can't see doctors or nurses wanting him anywhere near her in a sterile environment. They'd want him taken away to be cleaned up.

This book was a fantastic read! The pacing was spot-on — fast and engaging without any unnecessary filler. The writing was crisp, and the story between Katya and Isaac pulled me in from the very beginning.❤️

Isaac was such a strong and compassionate MMC. 😍He did everything he could to make Katya feel comfortable, even when she was determined to challenge him (in the best way!). The shift in their dynamic, from tension to something more intimate, was beautifully written.

I absolutely loved them as a couple — their chemistry felt real and deeply emotional. And as for Katya’s father… let’s just say he earned every bit of my frustration! 😤💔

[Tesh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this was a great read. Fast paced and loads of action and of course romance.

Sold off at auction, Katya is bought by a brutal Mafia man Isaac Koslov.

Isaac is very much the ultimate Mafia man but he initially is brutal with Katya but softens to her. That friction at the start turns into a romance based on sex but soon turns to more.

Beautifully written, these characters swept me away. A book I couldn't put down because I couldn't help be involved in the story. So well done!!.

This was another fun and gripping read for the series and I loved seeing Katya's spirited personality try to challenge Isaac into letting her go. Well. He not only doesn't let her go, he's super intrigued by her inner fire. Lol! Thankfully, he's able to convince her that she's it for him and that he doesn't want to smother her. However, danger swirls around them and she gets kidnapped... Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat as you follow these two through betrayal, action, suspense, hope and hot romance to their fab HEA. Definitely a page turner and an engaging read :D

[Tiffany Hannick · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a mafia romance that you don’t want to miss. Katya is sassy and knows her own mind. She also knows when she can’t refuse her father’s order and marries that man he tells her to marry. Issac is the leader of his bratva. He never thought he would marry until he saw Katya. Her fire is something he liked when most in his line of work would hate a woman with fire. There story is unexpected in many ways. You will fall in love with both of them before you know it. You also get the drama that comes with all mafia books. You know it’s going to be good and a bit dark.
