Bratva Bride

by Lucky Moon

I should be terrified of the bratva Ice King I'm forced to marry. So why does his control feel like the first freedom I've ever known?

I've spent twenty-six years as my father's captive genius—two PhDs and zero choices, a asset he'd auction to the highest bidder.

Then a bombing forces a blood marriage between our bratva families. And Ivan Volkov volunteers to be my husband.

The strategist they call heartless tells me I'm not his prisoner. He notices when I chew my sleeves to self-soothe and recognizes what I've been hiding my entire life—that I need a Daddy's firm hand.

My father will kill me if I don't consummate this marriage.

But Ivan refuses to touch me until I'm ready. Until I choose him. And when he grounds me through my panic with a pulse-point rhythm . . . when he promises consequences for broken rules and rewards for being good . . .

And God help me, I need him.

Because when my father invokes ancient law to drag me back to hell, Ivan proves that bad men can be heroes, too.

Bratva Bride is a steamy dark mafia arranged marriage romance, starring a captive genius and the obsessed strategist who claims her. For readers who enjoy possessive Daddy Doms and hard-won happily ever afters.

I’ve enjoyed this series so far. Another great book by a Lucky Moon. Definitely a kink book with the ddlg vibes but if that’s your thing, I’d highly recommend starting with book one. While it’s not necessary, it does complement the entire series since all characters are seen through out each book.

Ms. Moon does a remarkable job captivating her readers’ interest. She masterfully uses literary devices like: multiple plot lines and POVs, outstnanding conversaional dialog and monologue, and descriptive language. Her plot pacing is strong and movs the story along. She builds tension by using the antagonist, Petrov and his other Bratva associations, to keep the reader in suspense.

Ivan and his Little

This was one of my favorites so far. Just love Ivan from the beginning and how focused he always is. But he needed something / someone else to focus on so healing could happen for both of them. Just a beautiful story with depth and it had suspenseful moments as well.

Another DDlg that was 5 stars

I am really enjoying this series. I love the way they explain the dynamic in different views and make each one their own. I love that Ivan understands and loves Anya enough to heal her through patience, love and understanding. I can't wait for the next book 🧡

loved it..

A story of unbelievable sadness interspersed with wonderful joy. This was a treat for all who wants to be a Little or Daddy Dom. I loved the way Ivan was with Anya. Two socially broken people brought together by a very clever arrangement. A must read to find out what happened.
