Mile High Ex's Dad by Liz Archer was absolutely wild in the BEST possible way 😮‍💨🔥 This book completely hooked me from the very first chapter with one of the steamiest openings I’ve read in a while, & from there it only got more addictive. Between the forbidden tension, shocking twists, spicy chemistry, drama, suspense, & nonstop emotional chaos, I genuinely could not put this one down.

Sienna was such an easy heroine to root for ❤️ After a painful breakup, she ends up having a chemistry-filled encounter on a flight with a devastatingly handsome older stranger, only to later discover she’s pregnant. Just when things couldn’t possibly get messier, she agrees to help coordinate a wedding for a friend & walks straight into absolute chaos when she realizes the groom is her ex… & the father of the groom is Viktor — the silver fox from the plane 😮‍💨✨

Honestly, the setup alone had me completely invested because the drama was immediate & SO good. Sienna handles so much throughout the story — difficult people, emotional tension, family drama, secrets, & nonstop chaos — but she does it with strength, grace, & resilience. I loved that even while the situation around her spiraled, she never lost herself. The wedding party had me absolutely fuming at times, but Sienna handled things far better than I ever could have.

And Viktor… whew 🔥 This man was everything you want in a forbidden silver fox MMC. Older, powerful, protective, intense, possessive, & impossible to resist. The chemistry between him & Sienna was electric from the very beginning, & every scene between them practically burned off the page. Their attraction never faded after their first encounter — if anything it became even more explosive once they were forced back into each other’s orbit. Viktor’s protective energy mixed with the constant tension between them made him ridiculously addictive.

The tension in this book was honestly unbearable in the best way possible ❤️‍🔥 Between the forbidden ex’s father dynamic, the surprise pregnancy, the wedding drama, the suspense, & the emotional push-and-pull, there was never a moment where the story slowed down. I loved the snarky banter, the emotionally charged interactions, & the way the chemistry between Sienna & Viktor stayed intense the entire time.

There’s also a suspenseful undercurrent running throughout the story that added even more chaos & danger to everything already happening. Someone is creating problems around them, & watching Viktor & Sienna get pulled deeper into the drama while trying to resist each other kept me fully locked into the story. The combination of suspense, emotional tension, spice, & forbidden romance worked SO well together.

Overall, Mile High Ex’s Dad delivered exactly what I wanted from a spicy forbidden romance — high heat, addictive chemistry, emotional drama, shocking twists, & a silver fox hero who completely steals the show 😮‍💨🔥 If you love age-gap romance, possessive heroes, ex’s dad tropes, pregnancy drama, forbidden attraction, suspense, & chemistry that practically explodes off the page, this book absolutely deserves a spot on your TBR 📖✨.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was an over-the-top, ultra-steamy age-gap Bratva romance packed with drama, humiliation revenge, and instant chemistry.

Sienna’s story starts with a really painful moment—being publicly insulted at her ex’s wedding—and I liked how quickly the tone shifts when Viktor steps in. That “defended in front of everyone” moment immediately establishes him as a powerful, protective presence and sets the stage for their explosive connection.

The reunion twist (realizing he’s the same man from her past flight encounter) adds a strong layer of fate and intensity. Their chemistry feels immediate and physical, but the story also leans heavily into that possessive, high-stakes Bratva energy where emotions escalate fast and consequences don’t matter as much as desire in the moment.

Viktor is written as a classic silver fox Bratva hero—dominant, commanding, and unapologetically possessive. His protective instincts toward Sienna are extreme, and the “touch her and die” vibe is strong throughout. Sienna, on the other hand, is vulnerable but not passive; her emotional arc revolves around humiliation turning into empowerment through connection and protection.

The pregnancy twist adds urgency and stakes early on, and it pushes the relationship into that fast-moving, high-intensity “insta-family” direction that this type of romance is known for.

Overall, this is a very spicy, fast-paced, emotional rollercoaster with lots of drama, obsession, and protective alpha energy. If you enjoy forbidden age-gap Bratva romances with instant connection, public confrontation, and a possessive hero who goes all in immediately, this one delivers exactly that.

Mile High Ex’s Dad by Liz Archer was pure forbidden romance chaos in the best possible way. From the very first chapter, this book pulls you in with explosive chemistry, nonstop drama, emotional tension, and a silver fox Bratva hero who completely steals the show. Sienna was such an easy heroine to root for — strong, resilient, and trying to survive one humiliating disaster after another while secretly carrying Viktor’s baby.
Viktor was everything I wanted in an age-gap romance hero: protective, possessive, powerful, and absolutely obsessed with Sienna from the start. Their chemistry was intense from their unforgettable plane encounter all the way through the wedding drama, family tension, and dangerous twists surrounding them. The ex’s dad trope mixed with the surprise pregnancy and suspense made this impossible to put down.
The story had great pacing, emotional moments, high heat, and enough chaos to keep me fully entertained the entire time. If you love forbidden romance, Bratva heroes, silver fox MMCs, pregnancy tropes, and drama that never quits, this is definitely worth the read. Honestly, planning your ex’s wedding while pregnant with his father’s baby sounds less like a romance plot and more like a personal stress test.

Mile High Ex’s Dad is a spicy age gap Bratva romance that was an engaging read.
FMC Sienna has agreed to help out her friend Talia filling in as a wedding planner at a weekend event.
What she didn’t expect was to find out after arriving that the groom was her ex Ethan and as if that wasn’t enough, later in the evening his father MMC Viktor arrives to witness her being humiliated by his son. Viktor the man who she’d met on a flight and who initiated her into the mile high club, and never stopped thinking of her after she disappeared when they’d landed.
Boy did I ever feel for Sienna because to top things off she is hiding a pregnancy and it isn’t her ex’s. Yup you guessed it!
A good story with nice writing, drama, danger, suspense, family dynamics, emotion, passion, personal vulnerabilities, and well crafted characters.
While Viktor and Sienna are finding their way back to each other amid secrets and mystery there were tense moments in this entertaining story that finally did find its way to an HEA.

Mile High Ex's Dad is an incredible Bratva read that lures you in and hooks you from page one, holding you within its grasp till the very last page. It's beyond enticing as well as deliciously spicy and impeccably written.

After a devastating breakup with her ex, Sienna has a spice-filled encounter during a flight with a gorgeous older stranger, which leaves her pregnant. As if things weren't already complicated enough, Sienna agrees to helping plan a friend's wedding, only to discover the groom is her ex and the man who got her pregnant is none other than her ex's father, Viktor.

Viktor is insanely handsome, all alpha male with raw power, possessiveness, incredibly protective of his girl and wildly irresistible. The chemistry between Viktor and Sienna was off-the-charts, leaving my tablet dang near combusting from the heat. You're taken on a rollercoaster of a ride full of drama, suspense, heat and shocking twists and turns. This book is absolutely addictive and undeniably unputdownable. Ms. Archer has truly hit a homerun with this beauty!

In this book we meet Sienna Vale & Viktor Sokolov. Sienna agrees to take on a client from a from a coworker. Little did she know the wedding she would be taking over would be none other than her ex. If that wasn't the worst problem, she also sees the one man she never thought she would see again. Viktor has never been able to forget the woman from the plane. When he goes to attend his son's rehearsal dinner he is surprised and protective of the one woman he would do anything to have in his life. Can these two find a HEA or will them being who they are make that impossible?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend tot anyone.

Holy cow, that was an incredibly steamy intro to set the tone for this book. It instantly drew me in as Sienna flashed back to her encounter with the handsome stranger. Talk about a twist! She's forced to help her ex plan his wedding, only to be faced with the very man from her flashback, Viktor! The wedding party had me absolutely fuming, but she handled them with more class and grace than I ever could. The connection between them is just as electric as ever, and the tension is almost unbearable. This story is impossible to put down with the mix of snarky drama and extremely spicy chemistry!

Wow, what a hot and steamy story. The journey Viktor and Sienna take together holds your attention from the very beginning. They meet on the plane and she discovers that she is the father of her ex. And when she fills in for someone else at a wedding, she runs into Viktor again, as well as her ex. A delightful story, and how they got along despite her ex and the problems someone causes. Despite everything they go through, their feelings for each other remain strong, and they fight for their happiness together.

4 stars! Mile High Ex’s Dad by Liz Archer was such a fun, spicy read with all the forbidden tension and emotional drama I love. The chemistry between the main characters was intense right from the start, and the ex’s dad trope delivered exactly the kind of angst and swoony moments I was hoping for.

I really enjoyed the mix of heat, humor, and heartfelt moments throughout the story. Some parts felt a little fast-paced for me, but overall I was hooked and flew through it in one sitting. As an ARC reader, I had a great time reading this one and would definitely recommend it to readers who love taboo romance with plenty of spice and tension.

Intriguing Bratva Story

Wow, this has to be one of the best Bratva stories I have read. The plot was well developed with unforeseen events occurring.
Characters were flawed with plenty of villains to truly dislike. This author created an exceptionally intriguing story that made it difficult to set my kindle down. So I stayed up the entire night in order to complete this story from the beginning to the very satisfying end. There were some steamy parts, but these passages did not become the main focus.

[Tina Locklear · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sienna and Viktor’s book kept me reading straight through the night ! It was filled with enough sexual tension to choke a horse ! The heat and adversity that they went through to get to their happily ever after would have broken most couples. Liz Archer did an amazing job of hiding the real villain in plain site. 5✨’s for a well written Bratva story with heat and heart.

🥵🌶️🔥🎉👶🏻 I think that sums this up lol.

This was hot. So hot. Sienna meets a hot silver fox on a flight and things get spicy. They part ways, she finds out she’s pregnant…then she’s asked to step in and help with a wedding. When she gets there, she finds out the groom is her ex, and his father is the hot silver fox from the flight. Talk about wild and so unexpected. This was everything. Sienna and Viktor were so spicy. I wasn’t about to put this one down.

[Lesley Walker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved it

The characters are well written, the tension rolls off the page and the violence is controlled, though I did have a moment over Maksim. The epilogue ties it all together but the bonus epilogue is amazing. I like that they get what they truly want and deserve.

Liz Archer has another hit on her hands and as always I can highly recommend and await her next book.

[Paula K · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’ve gotten used to the whole Bratva “Mafia” Style Romance Books Liz Archer writes and this one was one of her better ones. Pregnant Sienna coming in as a last minute replacement for a wedding planner, has her ending up in the very chaotic world of a Bratva Family Wedding. And with that, she finds out she has a connection to the groom
and his family .. which makes for much complications at every turn.

Suspenseful, full of drama Bratva Romance. I really enjoyed Sienna and Viktor. He is a ruthless, some would say heartless man but for Sienna he is soft, yielding, and protective; always choosing her over all else.

WARNING.
Viktor and Sienna are about to have you experiencing some sleepless nights, facial flushing and drooling as well as heart racing romance. This book is dynamite to read and definitely delivers on checking a storyline that is magnetic. Get ready to read a page turning 5/5-star book.

[Ronda Fullam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good read

I enjoyed this story very much. The only thing is the flash back in time to show the characters when they first met. I'm not crazy about them, however, the author kept them brief.

Good read!

I loved this new book, but I got frustrated with Sienna sometimes. I really wanted her to stand up for herself more. Plus telling Victor the truth sooner.
