Viktor Orlov, he is the owner of the largest casino here on the Gold Coast. He’s a powerful man who’s family has deep ties to the Russian Mafia.
They run this city.
The Gold Coast is like Australia’s Las Vegas. Big casinos, huge nightclubs, giant amusement parks, dining, surfing, anything you can imagine.…if you have the money. I first met Viktor when his daughter was rushed into Emergency here at the hospital. I was her doctor, so I got to know them both quite well during her time here.
Shortly after her release, my phone rang. It was Viktor.
He said that Maria was in trouble again and he pleaded for my help.
I had a bad feeling about that call, but my gut instinct told me to go to her anyway.
I never should have listened to my gut.
By the time I knew something was up, it was already too late.
Now I’ve been stuffed in the trunk of a car and am being driven out to god knows where in the middle of the night.
What does he plan on doing to me?
Is he just going to have his way with me then bury me out in the desert?
This couldn’t possibly end well.

First the ending was awful. No conclusion as to who won the war. A doctor killing 25 people?????. There where to many areas that was I don't know how to explain. This story need to rewritten.
Story line is great and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Unexpected twists and turns had me reading this book in one sitting. Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!

Remarkable job Ava, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
This was a fun book as long as you don't expect it to be factual for example the Gold Coast only has one casino and unless he intends to drive for days he aint going to be burying in no desert as the Gold Coast is sub tropical but hey that is creative licence. Other than that it is a great fun story that will draw you in and yes I am just been a super critical Aussie
Dr Nova Crouch is a paediatric surgeon who treated the daughter of Viktor Orlov. He is a man who owns a casino on the Australia Gold Coast and has ties to the Russian Mafia he is also a man who deeply loves his daughter Mashenka and she has serious health problems. When the enemies he has through his business dealings close in on him he has to run to regroup and he needs not only his daughter but her doctor with him and if that means he has to kidnap- her then so be it. As they are confines together will the attraction between them blow into so much more You will have to read to see.
Nova, a doctor, get involved with Viiktor and his daughter. Between treating his daughter and hiding from a Polish mob, Nova and Viktor have their hands full, They become attracted to each other. I like how both Nova and Viktor have to confront their insecurities. I like how Victor is a devoted father. Viktor's daughter is named Mashenken, Masha for short. There are times she is referred to see Maria. It does not end in a true cliffhanger, but it does leave a lot up in the air. I assume the rest of the series will continue on the mob war with the Polish mob.
A riveting first book in the Gold Coast Bratva series! Superbly written, well developed, fast pace, page-turner, consistent, witty, funny, and action-packed with suspense, violence, kidnapping, and danger. The characters are likeable and strong with off the charts chemistry between them. A real sit on the edge of your seat read and I can hardly wait to read the next book! Definitely recommended!

The writing doesnt flow well. Parts of it read as though the author had her thesaurus sitting next to her dying to be used. Who in modern settings describes others as "ruffians" and a "monolith" of a man? The little girl is supposed to be 8 years old but she gives a speech about her father's activities like an adult. In my opinion; not well written.
This well-written storyline is enjoyable and engaging. The main characters have great chemistry, protective qualities and attraction, also the little girl is darling. There is danger, an abduction and an unorthodox beginning to a HEA. I liked this book.

Viktor lives a dangerous life and has a sick child. When the two collide more than one life hangs in the balance. In order for his child to survive he takes her Dr., Nova. Incredible danger, action, and more make this suspensful mafia story an intruiging read.
What would you do to save the life of your only child? Viktor did what any father would do, he kidnapped his daughters doctor. Oh, and he's part of the Russian mafia. The enemy is closing in on Viktor and he will do anything to protect those he loves.
I tried hard to find something that would make sense in this story but I just couldn't. It was like one of those ridiculous stories written by a 12 yo kid on wattpad. It was really bad.
I enjoyed Viktor & Nova's story. This was an exciting & entertaining book. I received a free copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
