JADE
I was minding my own business, simply working until Alexey the boss for the Bratva Mafia decided to take me. Having run away from a violent man before, I made a promise to myself this wouldn't happen again, but he doesn’t give me a choice. I’m thrown into a world of violence, but this man of such vengeance almost hatred towards some can offer such love and safety when in his arms, something I have never experienced before.

ALEXEY
There’s a war looming, hanging overhead like a dark cloud. This is the worst time to allow somebody into my life, but when I laid eyes on Jade all logic and rational thought left me. I will protect her even if from herself, whoever comes for me is one thing, but to harm her will mean certain death, even if it kills me trying. She is my everything, my reason to live and if fate wants it, my reason to die.

Another great read by Alexi Ferreira. I received an ARC for an honest review. I loved this one. Elementals MC series is a favorite of mine, but I believe this one is going to be great too. I love that there is no one else for either. There was slight ow drama, but it didn't last long, just a blip really. There was talk of rape, but it wasn't descriptive. Very great read and I can't wait to read Nik's story. There was no epilogue, but I believe that it just flows into the next story.

Let me start by saying mafia is my favorite romance genre and the mafia boss falls for innocent outsider is my favorite trope! My expectations were high for this one and I was not disappointed. Loved this story of Bratva boss who falls for waitress/student. In spite of the mafia theme this was a safe read with minimal angst and high predictability (it's romance after all). The H is very silverback alpha but he has a sweet spot for the h. h is very innocent and rather helpless - she's set up as a damsel in distress for him to rescue on multiple occasions. Still, if that doesn't bother you then this is an excellent mafia romance.

Good read.

This was well written with a great storyline. I love when an author manages to make you fall in love with all the cast of characters and this was nailed. Down to the most minimal roles you want everyone to get their own story! Alexey and Jade’s story had the perfect amount of light and dark balanced effortlessly.

I've only recently discovered this author, and I can honestly say I am true fan. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It's quite different than her Elementals series, which is one of my favorite reads EVER. This one is the first in her Russian mafia series, and it centers around characters already introduced in the Elementals series.

Jade and Alexey are two very interesting characters with a very strong sense of who they are and where they think their lives are going. That is until their worlds meet. Alexey is immediately drawn to Jade and will settles for nothing less than her complete surrender. What follows is a bumpy ride that ends with their own HEA. Even better you are further introduced to other characters who will have their stories later in the series, and I for one cannot wait.

New series

This is book 1 of a new series involving the Bratva (Russian mafia) and the boss finding his One. Jade works in a coffee shop and is a college student when she meets him in a bit gone bad. Lots of instant love between a hot alpha and his women with lots of action and advantage.
Tied to the author's Elemental MC series. This book make for a great beginning can't wait for book #2

Another great book from Alexi Ferreria.

This is author is my favourite discovery of 2018 so far. I have loved all her Elementals books and this book is a very strong start to another series.

I was intrigued by the brief cameos of Vlad and Alexey in the various Elemental books and whole book on Alexey did not disappoint at all. I also got a tiny Draco fix in this book too!!!

I cannot wait for Nik's book

I loved this book it was a awesome read. The storyline was intriguing and captivating, and everything I love in mafia reads. I also really loved Alexey and Jade. They were great together and their chemistry was plain to see(or read as it goes). There were a few minor issues, but nothing that deterred me in anyway from reading and finishing this book. I can’t wait to read Nik and Raven’s story.

OMG! 5 Stars Worthy

Wow, you got me hooked! That was the most action packed book I ever read! I'm loving this side of you, now I can see you have multiple sides, first it the Elementals MC and now Bratva Fury Mafia. I didn't expect you to come up with a story for these Mafia guys but you did. It was a phenomenal read, I felt so bad about her friend Lara, and honesty thought Lara and Nik would be a couple but you surprised with that one. Great Job, I'm giving it 5 stars and I would definitely recommend this SERIES. #AlexiFerreira

Two years ago I was looking for a mafia romance to read, this book came up and I loved the Blurb, downloaded it and got lost in a world of romance that I have only ever found in Johanna Lindsey books. I spent the whole week reading all her books that was published at that time. Since then, I have read each and everyone of her books. They are many authors whose books I enjoy, but they are some hits and misses, not with Ms. Ferreira, her books always leave you wanting more.

Tormented is the first of the Bratva Fury, since then there are more books in the series. Over the Top Possessive Alpha with a heroine who brings him to his knees and a love story, filled with adventure and that Forever never ending love, that is everything we all want.

My review on Amazon from 2018: LOVE THIS BOOK. First time I am reading anything by this author and if this book is any indication of her writing, I am sure I will be reading everything she has written. Everything I expect a mafia romance to be. So looking forward to the next book.

This is the second book that I have read by this author and I must say that I enjoyed both books. What can anyone say when they read a great mafia book. And to read that they were that Bratva mafia was exciting. The description of Alexey was intriguing and I was able to visualize the way he actually looked. I enjoyed the storyline that was written here as well as the characters. I look forward to reading more of this series because I would love the see if Nik has a book.

The H fell instantly in love with the h and was possessive, protective, and jealous. However, the h went from fighting the H to being in lust with him. She become teasing and playful, even taking the initiative during sex. This didn't sense to me. Plus, she was basically a damsel in distress the book.

I hate to say this about a dark romance novel, but this book was predictable from start to finish, and I feel it was so bad it was good. Dare I say a train wreck? The grammar wasn't edited, the food allergy, the pregnancy, the proposal, and the over-too-soon climax were all basic. And, again, predictable. I don't think I'll be reading this book again, but the sequel, maybe. I haven't decided yet.

Good mafia romance

I liked Jade’s story. This is one of the better mafia romances. It is not overly violent or abusive to woman. A great read.
