Born Bratva #3
Expose'
It's as if the Born Bratva gods themselves have smiled down on him when he meets Logan in the very same place his father Glazov met his mother Kathleen. He'll do anything to keep her safe, even if it means kidnapping her and holding her against her will. After all...it's the Born Bratva way.
When a college student infiltrates her way into a Bratva family to do an expose', she gets much more than she bargained for. Her only ally may very well be Kodiak; the son of Glazov; a cold blooded killer.

Suzanne Steele is an Amazon Bestselling Author and television host for a TV program in the Charlotte NC area. She focuses on volunteer work and is very heavily involved in giving back to her local community. The month of October will be spent focusing on breast cancer awareness.
Suzanne has a penchant for writing about dark characters with twisted behavioral patterns. If you're looking for the typical romance, this is probably not the author for you. Her characters are very alpha in nature and many times they operate under obsession for the object of their affection; rather than love. Though she does believe in happily ever afters, her characters many times have a bumpy ride getting there.
She also writes under the pseudonym Stormy Dawn Weathers for her writings that aren't so darkly laced with a true realism of shock and awe. Suzanne Steele does not believe in holding back when it comes to writing about how dark and depraved her characters are in the core of their primal natures.

O.M.G. I loved Kodiak. Like too much.
I demolished this in a couple of hours. I wish it lasted longer. Kodiak our main character made this book amazing because he was so possessive, caring, and obsessed with Logan. It was great seeing his relationship with Glazov and his family and I found his character so intriguing. I was surprised that Kodiak didn't have the same sadistic sexual preferences like his father and many of the other characters in Suzanne's books. But it was a pleasant surprise that he was pretty vanilla to an extent :)
"He lifts his head to look down at me through hard, hooded eyes that practically glow with a possessive fire that unnerves me. "Mine" he mouths silently to me as his hand travels a lazy, silken path up from my hip to firmly clasp my breast."
Can't wait to see what Suzanne Steele brings next!!

RE-READ :
I’m on a role with re-reading the Bratva Series and I love it now just as much if not more than when I originally read it four years ago. Glazov and Antonio Wayne Ramirez are all mine but I must say Glazov’s sons are a lot like him when it comes to their women.
This is the third book in the Born Bratva series. I love books about totally Alpha males especially Russian ones who are criminals & Suzanne Steele sure friggin' knows how to write them. I absolutely love Alexander Glazov & the relationship he has with his wife, Kathleen & their three children, Nikita, Roksana & Kodiak. He may be the vicious, brutal head of the Bratva but he loves his family dearly. This book is about Kodiak Glazov who may not have been born a Glazov but when he was 5 years old Alexander saved him from his burning house & the two were forged in fire. Alexander took the young boy home to his family & he's been a true Glazov ever since. Kodiak is now a grown man & has become a captain in the Bratva running one of Alexander's underground gambling houses. Logan has not had the easiest life her mother is a drunk & her father is a gambler who taught her how to count cards at a young age. She is now in college working hard to get her degree in Journalism so she can be an Investigative Reporter. She needs money for school so she wants to enter a Journalism contest & write an expose about the Bratva. She decides to try & get a job at one of Glazov's gambling houses to get inside info for her article but when Kodiak sets his sights on her things change for both of them ... fast. I can't wait to read Nikita & Natasha's story, she's a cleaner for the Bratva & he's their attorney.

This was not a bad read. I really liked the first half of the book, but the second half was just okay.
I thought the switch was at a nice pace in the beginning, but towards the end it was too frequent.
The heroine is a journalism major trying to pay her way through college. She wants to enter a writing contest and write an expose on the Bratva family to make money towards her tuition. As she walks into the underground gambling club that the Bratva owns, Logan, the heroine, runs into Kodiak, the hero. Kodiak immediately takes an interest in Logan as well trying to figure out what she is up to coming into the club and trying to find a job. Kodiak is very alpha and possessive. The sex scenes were hot. They were not overdone.

Expose (Bratva Book 3)
Suzanne does it again in this explosive follow-up in the Bratva series!
Kodiak's story is gut wrenching and emotional. I know what you're thinking. Since when is the Russian Mafia gut wrenching and emotional? Don't get it twisted, folks. Kodiak is his father's son in every sense of the word. He is not soft in any way.
Enters Logan. Logan is a struggling college student who decides to enter an essay contest to earn college tuition money. Guess what she decides to write about? You guessed it. The Bratva.
Logan "finds" herself in one of the Glazov underground gambling establishments looking for a job. Why? She wants first hand info for her essay. Mistake #1.
Believing she can pull the okey doke on the owner. Mistake #2.
Believing Kodiak doesn't own her after one glance. Mistake #3.
The Pahkan, Kodiak's father, has mandated the situation is nipped in the bud or the girl dies. After Kodiak experiences nirvana in Logan's arms, he's on a mission to protect her at any cost. Yes the drama heats up at this point. There's jealousy, stalking, super hot bed play, couch play, wall play, play, play, PLAY! And then. And then. And then.....the shooting! Oh my good gravy!!! How did I not see that coming?? Oh man! The crap is about to hit the fan!! Glazov's organization go from 0 to a million in 0.5 seconds! Close ranks and prepare for complete annihilation! Anyone who come up against this family is completely insane. The "issue" is handled swiftly and deadly.
After the ultimate sacrifice (big ugly tears so prepare yourself) Kodiak and Logan are the newest Bratva royalty! Or are they? Something's abrewing.....book 4 maybe? Yeah baby so excited!
5+ stars for this Bratva masterpiece!

This book was total ruined by the one that is before it. The Glazov Legacy already had this storyline going on in it and this was like a rewind of it, except for one spot.
I really didn't feel the pull between the Kodiak and Logan. They were kinda blah. In the other two books you can feel the pull between the main couple even though it disgusts you. I still am not really sure why I am reading this, but I am.
It is an ok read.

Total disappointment for me...1.5 stats...skimmed the book after 40%....
First book by the author....expected so much from the book.....but didn't feel connected to the hero character....he is alpha but confused one....he explains everything like a cute girl....
reading like his side of story is like reading the thoughts of female.....I didn't,t find it masculine not a strong one...he is caveman,obssessd with the heroine but I found it childish sometimes...I didn't,t feel the true alphness which I like to read in my alpha heroes......
However I sought of like the heroine as copmared to hero..
And well maybe its my fault I didn't,t read 1st two book in series.....however I m intrigued to read the story of Kodiak father....but maybe later I guess...
Writing g is good but the book doesn't,t work for me....

Oh Kodiak...SPOILERS AHEAD
Kodiak is hot. A Bratva born if fire. Adopted into the Glazov family, Kodiak is the epitome of Bratva. He is ruthless and cunning. Enter Logan a naive college student who wants to write an expose in an attempt to win a contest for a prize. She enters into the lions den and straight into Kodiak's arms. A gripping story that keeps Suzanne Steele Bratva alive.

Raw and Robust
I enjoy Suzanne style of story telling it's robust in nature because it fulfills you with the emotions that you need at certain times in the story. But it's Raw because it slices you at certain times and you can't teach that your just born with that type of writing style.

Born Bratva is just awesome from one book to the next. All of them are hot, sexy, violent, sweet rolled up in to great story plots.

Definitely better than Glazov’s.

Not as dark as 1st 2 books
Can be read as standalone. I enjoyed these characters better, but they may not be as believable as Glazov and Kathleen.

Kodiak is amazing
I love Logan and Kodiak’s story. I love reading about the Glazov family. Steamy scenes and lots of alpha males

2 - 2.5 stars
Oh boy! When Suzanne Steele said this book was about an uber alpha male she wasn't lying, I've never read any of her books but after reading Expose' I don't think I'm going to do it any time soon.
This book had a good blurb, five star reviews and everyone talking amazing things about it, so you know I couldn't resist I started reading and was instantly annoying with the MC but let it pass since it was just the beginning, at the 50% mark I was about to give up because everything was so boring! and our "Heroine" dear freaking doormat Logan was plain annoying, didn't have a back bone.
Everything about this book was about Logan being ordered and keeping secrets (that honestly weren't even THAT shocking, and weren't even secrets for starters).
As any book it had its good moments, sweet parts when I thought it was actually going to end up being an ok book, but for me it wasn't.
So, long story short, the author didn't lie this story is over the top but not just about the guy but about pretty much everything.
Anyway if you're a fan you might enjoy it, that's the magic of reading a book, it's a different experience for each one, sadly this wasn't what I was expecting.
Happy reading peeps!

This is the 3rd book I read so far this year and I am not happy with the three star rating since it is the first I give this year and the guy on the cover is freaking gorgeous!
As I downloaded this book into my kindle I think what can go wrong with Russian bratva as part of the story. Man I am still here trying to figure out where this book lost me.
I like the alternating point of view in a story, since it gives us the reader the ability to poke into everyones head, but as I read and changed between Logan and Kodiak I felt that there was no fluidity, no constant flow in my reading, I mean it was choppy, like reading someone's book report on the book. I would have loved a bit more detail, a bit more hot and cold action between the two main characters, a little more bloody action of behalf of the russian mafia. The sex scenes where hot and good, but I didn't feel that click between the two characters, they barely knew each other, plus she was a virgin? give me a break !
I am sorry I just think that Kodiak deserved 238 pages of more intense action......

The Bratva way
So intense like his father the stalking and so alpha it's just the Glazov way. Poor Logan she had no chance little did she know what she was getting herself in to. Suzanne Steele never disappoints with the sadist ways of her characters. You practically feel like your bratva because you know all the rules and the bratva way. What a family can't wait for the next story.

Love this series
I loved Glazov so much that I never expected to be enthralled with Kodiak. Kodiak has the fierce alpha personality but also has a sweet spot for Logan. Logan proves her loyalty more than once. I was hoping we'd get to read about Kodiak visiting Logan's parents. Nokia and Roksana are interesting so I don't know if the brother or sister should be the next book. Can't wait.

Kodak and Logan's story.... I love all of Suzanne Steele's books and have read every one of them and this is no exception. You can feel the passion between these two and Kodiak's vulnerability, which I find extremely attractive. Yet he can be as cold and calculating as the man he calls Dad. This book is a page turner and impossible to put down. I am so looking forward to Glazov's other children's stories and please a follow up to Kodiak and Logan's... A twisted HEA
September 25, 2022
This third novel is so far my favourite in this series. I love Kodiak, he's Italian heritage and the story of how he became Born Bratva is really sad and sweet. That he rises to be who he is makes this story great and he just calls to me. Logan is really cool and she's definitely the one for Kodiak. At the beginning I thought she might end up being a bit of a wuss (to sweet, naive) but she grew on me as I continued the story.
December 31, 2015
End to end awesome! But when is anything Suzanne Steele creates not amazing? Can't get enough of the Glazov Bratva series...waiting on the next! This one packs all the usual hotness but Suzanne develops the story with the right blend of emotion and personality. The characters jump off the page and this time we see a different side of Glazov and his creations...so fab!
January 24, 2016
Mrs Steele how I love your Bratva family!! Another winner in a long line of books by this author. I love that most of her books include returning characters (in this one was Novak and The Governor) I wasn't ready for this book to be over. I hope we get another book with Kodiak and Logan as I truly loved their story!! Can not wait to see what comes next!!
March 12, 2016
Kodiak and Logan were my favorite. Although he is just like his father, super alpha and controlling I could actually feel them falling for each other. Their relationship was written so well and I loved getting little glimpses into Nikita and Natasha as well as Roksana. I hope she gets a book cause they girl
Is crazy!!!!
Is crazy!!!!

Ok I have to be honest that I couldn't really get into Glazov 1 or 2 books. They were just okay to me (which is strange because I loooove Russian mob books of all kinds) but this was definitely my favorite of the series! I loved Kodiak and Logan also. There story was wonderful! I couldn't put it down! Perfect mix of story and romance.

Another great book in this series
Love the characters and the love they have for their women and their families. Book does have violence which may be a trigger for some. HEA for now...
