Kai Lesy books always keep me wanting more. 😍

After an amazing night that neither regret nor can stop remembering but both try to move on. Clara lands a new job that she's excited to start and rebuild herself after an abusive ex. Only when she walks into a meeting is met with the men she hasn't been able to stop thinking about for the last nine weeks. He sees her face and knows he will do anything to keep her. Dimitri, a Bratva boss, has lived in the darkness after living and surviving the worst event in his life. That is until Clara brings him back to the light. He will do anything to stay in the light, to keep her safe and prevent him from reliving his worst nightmare.

I was hooked from the start with Claire's and Dimitris first meeting🥵🥰🌶. Throughout reading, I found myself more and more invested. I love how Claire stayed strong throughout the book. She did not show weakness even though she was scared out of her mind. You get a little of everything one night stand, second chance, work place romance, high stakes, he falls first, possessive hero, a strong independent woman, and ex's that don't know how to take NO for an answer. Seems like a lot but all perfectly written that it doesn't pull away from the plot. A rollercoaster that you won't regret being on and twists that will keep you guessing.

This may be book 3 in the Ruthless Bratva Daddies series, however, you can read this as a standalone. Can't wait to see what Kai Lesy comes up with next. 🥰🥰.

I read her other book “The Better Brother” and this one is basically a direct duplicate.

✔️The MMC gets the FMC pregnant from the first encounter.
✔️ The MMC is part of the mob and the FMC refuses to believe it.
✔️ The FMC ex boyfriend works in street crimes and is trying to take down the MMC and his organization.

Like…no originality which SUCKS because I really liked the first book I mentioned.

While I will not say that it is the best I've read (I can get into reasons later), I will say that it's much better than a fair amount of mafia reads that I have been through lately.

The story of a girl who is in the wrong place, but at the right time, leads to one amazing night with a total stranger. Something she believes her best friend is responsible for when, in the end, she finds out it was simply a mistaken bit of reading.

Then a couple of months later, who does she find out is her new boss? Mr. one-night stand himself. And he *definitely* remembers her. It takes them no time at all to figure out that the chemistry from one night is still there and he employs all versions of seduction in order to bring her right back into his arms.

The secret twist of their story makes it all the better and I'm absolutely not giving it away!

Ok. Time to get into the things I didn't like:

1- It's choppy at times. It feels like there are details that have been left out in places that it was sort of important to deal with, but thrown into the mix in future settings in order to say "Hey, this is what happened there". While it's not huge, it still leaves you like "Hey, when did this happen?" or "Why?"

2- I'm still trying to wrap my head around just how blunt the whole "I am the pakahn" (spelling??) is for Dimitri. The last I knew (I'm basing off of a million and one mafia stories that I've read, so I guess you can call it a generalization?) they were far more secretive about things like that when out in the open ANYWHERE that wasn't their turf and protected by who knows what sorts of security. I understand that the business they were in was a legitimate one, but that means there's always a chance that someone is listening, and that would normally mean far, far more caution would be expected. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, and he's just that proud of what he is? In either case. This didn't make sense to me.

3- The over-the-top rage that disappears instantly at her touch. I can absolutely understand (and even encourage) the idea of a calming effect brought on by someone who you love and who loves you. But I feel it wouldn't be as instantaneous as this made it out to be? Seeing red does not feel like it can be cleared quickly when such emotions are on the line, even by the touch of a loved one. But that is just my opinion.

Dnf'd 47 pages in...

I really tried because I somewhat enjoyed the two previous books in the series but this book was TERRIBLE. I dont know if the author was drunk or high when she wrote it or if she didnt have a single friend to beta read it but this was pure SLOP. The use of AI was evident in the previous two books but after the first one or two chapters one could tell that she actually started writing herself but this one was so much worse. The AI dribble just kept coming. Comparisons that made no sense, choppy sentences....I respect the game but come on....atleast edit it to make senseto you human readers.
Then there are tge continuity issues...you know the little parts that are supposed to make sense....
Somehow in the first scene the fmc is able to see through a wall into the suite where the mmc is standing...despite him standing facing away she can see his blue eyes in the dark. Then he tells her his suite is on the 13th floor but then it changes to the 12th floor a few paragraphs later. She also manages to read an entire paragraph off a scroll while blind folded. He also magically knows her friends name when they meet after she 'reads' to him. Then when they meet again despite her name being the first thing she told him, he says he had no idea what her name was despite the fact that he calls her by it several times the night in the suite.
I wasnt going to give it such a bad star rating but I got more and more annoyed every time I dove into the book trying to give the book another chance.
Im actually so pissed because this level of bad writing should not be allowed. People spend years crafting books and others phone it in completely. I hope the author reads this review and take my criticism on board and does better the next time around. Hell Id even beta read for her if she needs help.

This guy on this book cover totally does it for me, so I said YES to this ARC. I'd read the phone book with him on the cover, a paint can ... you name it and I don't apologize for my very good taste in book cover men and this man in particular.

I selected well because this is a good story surrounding a Russian Kingpin—yes, it's done to death but this one surprised me in a good way.''

When Dimtri meets Clara it's purely by accident and they both roll with it. I initially thought this book was going to be a fluff job, but it's more. When we meet Clara again, she now works for the man she met that night. Now that he found her again, he has no intentions of letting her go. Soon, she realizes that he's a mafia kingpin and she wants nothing to do with him but her transgression nine weeks ago sends her spiraling into the unknown.

When attempts are made on her life and his empire he shows Clara who he is, unapologetically a protector. She's a strong female character though I thought her expectations on how he handled traitors was a little unrealistic and not her business. Because he wants her to stay and trust him, he goes against his nature.

When the puzzle pieces point to her, he's devastated and it takes a bullet to convince him that she's not the enemy. The last straw is their close brush with death and Dimitri decides enough is enough and that all enemies must be dealt with efficiently. Highly Recommended: Read this Book!

Savage Boss was a rollercoaster ride that I’m so glad I decided to get on. I’m not usually a huge Bratva romance reader, but I’ve enjoyed other books by Kai Lesy, so I figured I’d give this one a chance—and I’m very glad I did.

The introduction of Clara and Dmitri was such a fun, exciting start that immediately hooked me. Clara’s conflicting emotions regarding Dmitri felt authentic and relatable, and I found myself fully invested in her journey, experiencing every frustration, doubt, and attraction right alongside her. Dmitri comes across as hard and intimidating at first, but as the story unfolds, more layers of his character are revealed, making him a fascinating and compelling leading man.

What really stood out to me was how addictive this story was. I finished it in a single day because I simply couldn’t put it down. The chemistry, tension, and emotional moments kept me turning pages late into the night.

While it wasn’t quite a five-star read for me, it was still an incredibly enjoyable romance that kept me entertained from beginning to end. If you’re a fan of possessive heroes, emotional tension, and Bratva romance with depth, I would definitely recommend giving Savage Boss a try.

This was another fun mafia romance that brought two great characters together after a hot meet-cute. Clara, on a fantasy mission for her bestie's bachelorette party, ends up at the wrong door but gets the night of her life. She gets herself a new job to escape her abusive ex, a cop, only to find her one-nighter is going to be her new boss. Yikes! Bratva Boss Dmitri is thrilled to find Clara is now at his company since he's been unable to get over their night together. He definitely fell first, and fell hard! I love these two together. Clara was sure she shouldn't be intimate with her boss, shouldn't be working for the mob, and is unexpectedly pregnant, so she needs to be safe. Well, none of that quite worked out as expected... Expect to get caught up in this fun and spicy romance that has action, drama, danger, bad exes and a wonderful HEA. It's fast paced and exciting. I really enjoyed how this one unfolded and can't wait for what's next by this author. Good fun!

I loved this book from start to finish. Kai Lesy writes characters I want to read and this book is no exception. I love how the story starts with Clara on a mission straight from the bride at a bachelor party. Show up at an assigned address, put on a mask and read certain words. Only problem with this is what happens when you arrive at the wrong address and the man answering the door provides you with the best night of your life? Little did Clara know that this night would come back to her when she least expects it because the stranger is her boss and he has plans for her. It is full of danger, attempted murder, hot steamy scenes and a happy ever after ending. Trigger warning the story does include the death of a spouse in the past.

'For readers who love: Ruthless Bratva Kingpins, massive age gaps, and the billionaire boss you should never sleep with. A possessive, stalker‑vibes “touch her and die” Pakhan who builds an entire job around the curvy girl who knocked on the wrong door. A surprise pregnancy, and a morally gray man who’ll burn his empire for her..'

The characters were very complex and compelling and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Plot was intriguing and intense and well paced. World building was excellent and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy the read!.

Great book! I love mafia books and this one did not disappoint. Who doesn't love a hot, muscular, tatted, silver fox in the Bratva? I certainly do!
MC's had excellent chemistry together. I loved the FMC's character. She's an excellent lawyer and I love when she puts the police in their place.
MMC will do anything to keep FMC safe; anything. With several attempts on her life, all he wants is to keep her safe. But can FMC live with the beautiful, gilded cage he's putting her in?
Lots of action, violence, drama and some sexy scenes. I didn't want to put this book down. Another great mafia book by Kai!.

🖤🌃 Clara & Dmitri

ARC Review

Savage Boss by Kai Lesy is Book 3 in Ruthless Bratva Daddies Series. Like the other two books in the series, it is a standalone and an addition story to the dark & violent Bratva World that Kai has created. Again, like the other two books, there is absolutely no ɗäɗɗƴ ƙïnƙ. Dmitri will be a parent with Clara. There is a one night stand with a possessive & obessed Russian Pakhan, then the timeline jumps ahead 9 weeks. We have annoying-ish OW Drama (Chapter 12 -  34% in, however Dmitri does quickly resolve it), heartbreak & possible betrayal, dumb ex's on both sides and a lot of trust issues from Dmitri & Clara that are discussed. The online book description states it is an ägë-gäp, but it not really even talked about at all in the story. Clara keeps her pregnancy from Dmitri for quite some time and he finds out in the most heartbreaking way. There are a few attempted murders against Clara & she gets kidnapped. There are some twists & turns. Clara & Dmitri do get their HEA - it is a fight to get there. It ends with future epilogues.

⚠️Spice & ṣëxƴ ṣcëṅëṣ are non-existent... zero details, zero ṣpïcë in the very few descriptions shared - sadly it is one extremely tiny step above "behind closed doors level."

This book starts with a bang. Clara is a curvy girl that accidentally lands at Dimitri's doorstep blindfolded as part of a bachelorette's party treasure hunt. She doesn't know that she is about to enter into an unforgettable passionate night with the Bratva's most feared man.

A few weeks later, she is hired to work by the same man, and he is about to make sure this time she doesn't get a chance to escape. Passionate, borderline possessive, protective, and ready to burn the world to get the girl who is finally making him feel alive again,

A great read that will keep you glued to its pages!.

Their path starts when Clara finds herself on the wrong floor knocking on the wrong door. Dmitri is drawn to her and doesn't have it in him to tell her the truth and finds himself thinking about her long after the encounter. He creates a job just to have her close to him in spite of the dangers surrounding him. I loved the drama and how she is able to bring Dmitri to his knees. The book is well written, with colorful characters anda narrative that is enticing.

Clara and Dimitri's story is filled with excitement, suspense, and romance. Their strong attraction and strong personalities add to the excitement and romance. Dimitri being pakhan adds to the suspense.

Dimitri has met his match in Clara. He's used to people taking his word as law and she's used to having freedom and opinions. Their clashes lead to steamy sex, kidnapping, and communication.

If you like Bratva stories with strong female characters, this book is for you.

Brutal Supervisor Indeed.
Kai Lesy doesn’t waste any time getting down to the dirty, they open with it.
A powerful, haunted man with a daunting fear of the past repeating itself and a problem causing temper, an educated woman unused to desire driving decisions and with a dangerous idiot of an ex, along with some interesting supporting characters and red herrings make for an enjoyably hot read.

It all started by a simple mistake and it ended with a night they both couldn't forget. They both didn't expect to see other again but fate brought them back together. It was a pretty good story. Clara is a strong character that stays consistent throughout. Dimitri of course is the pakhan so he must has to be tough. The llot had some twist and it was a good read.

This was such a sweet but twisted love story. I'm always a sucker for a surprise pregnancy. This book was closer to gray than dark. I loved how Dimitri felt, and I also loved how Clara stayed strong throughout the entire story, and they both grew so much. I've been reading everything released by Kai Lesy lately and haven't once been disappointed. I look forward to the next one with much anticipation.

Clara and Dmitri's story is told in this exciting and somewhat dramatic rollercoaster ride. It all starts when Clara accepts a dare from the bride at a bachelor party.

She has to go to an address, put on a mask and read certain words. Sound simple, doesn't it - except she goes to the wrong address. But the man who answered the door ended up giving her the best night of her life.

I love the chemistry shared by Clara and Dmitri, and I wanted everything to work out for them.

Oops, Clara and Dimitri meet in a very unique way. They have a fantastic time with each other. Dimitri cannot stop thinking about Clara and has actual feelings for her that are new for Dimitri. The possessive way Dimitri is with Clara has me swooning. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fantastic story with great characters. Could not get enough of these two.

After ending up on the wrong floor ends up in a enjoyable evening, she thinks nothing of it.

Then she lands her dream job, except it's partly her dream job and someone else's dream.

Will Ex drama for her and a mole in his organization keep them apart?

I Definitely didn't see the final twist coming.

This book was so good. I found it funny and sexy when Clara showed up to the wrong penthouse and ends up sleeping with Dmitri and then weeks later working for his company as an attorney.

From there things get hot and heavy, dangerous and very scary for Clara and Dmitri.

Very hard to put this book down.

This book drew me in from the start. Clara is a strong female that does not back down from the broken pakhan. Dimitri and her relationship is intense and deep. The suspense made me want to keep turning the page and not put it down.

4.5 stars! Clara has been out of her bad relationship with an abusive detective when she has an unexpected one-night stand with a tall, gorgeous man. She didn't realize until after that she went to the wrong floor for her friend's Bachelorette party game. She's not sorry until she starts her new job and realizes her boss is the guy she had the one-night stand with and he is still interested. There are some good twists and turns in this book and some unexpected surprises that keeps you reading to the end.

I am going to say just go ahead and sit down and enjoy the ride. You will not be disappointed and fall more in love with Claire and Dimitri as their journey evolves. You get so much heat, a possessive alpha, and a very strong heroine.

This story is so intense; it captivated me from the beginning. I loved how Clara and Dimitri were on the opposite sides of the law yet held some of the same beliefs. The degree to which Dimitri protected Clara is everything! I appreciate how author Kai Lesy weaved this story back to the beginning. Marvelous!
