Andrius:
In order to ensure my wife can live freely and safely, I might be about to blow up my marriage.
War is coming though, and sometimes the only thing you can do is head into battle.

Without Violet and our child, I am nothing, but she may never forgive what I'm about to do.

Andrius is back and he had to do what he swore to Violet that he would never do again-- GO BACK INTO THE MAFIA LIFESTYLE. But he must in order to keep his family and friends safe BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! So much has been done to keep them all safe but the past has a way of rearing its ugly head again and again... and again in the world of the Bratva Blood series!


Violet:

“I promise you one thing— if ever something goes wrong between us, you’ll be the first to know; not the last. I’d end it with you before I looked at anyone else, but it isn’t going to happen. You’re it for me.” “You’re it for me, too,” I say and hug him tight. “You’re my everything, you bastard,”

5 suspenseful stars!

I enjoyed this well written, darkly themed mafia romance novella set within the Bratva Blood series. The story picks up where ‘The Heir’ left off; with the brotherhood on the brink of yet another war – one they didn’t start and one they want no part of. It also serves to lead into the next story – 'Priest', which, I’ll admit I'm already anticipating, given the introduction we’ve just had to this intriguing new character. There’s some drama, suspense, conflict, anguish, brutality, violence and some humour along with several explicit, steamy encounters.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I love this series! Danger has come to Andrius and his family and he will do whatever it takes to keep his wife and daughter safe. Even if that means breaking a promise he made to Violet. Will this destroy their relationship? I love Andrius he is an amazing character and this novella if feels with drama steam and emotion. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!

Do you ever pick up a book knowing exactly what you’re going to read? You think, “This is going to be a (enter qualifiers here)” and then you start reading and realize you were one hundred percent, right?
Yeah, this is NOT that book #sorrynotsorry!
The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with!
Bad boy….check
Bod boy’s crazy brother/friend…check
Bad boy’s Kryptonie…check ….check and check
By the time you’ve figured out who is who and how deep hate can run, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
It’s edgy yet always within boundaries of morality. It’s compelling, like Nutella, bacon and oreo cookies had a threesome and this story is their lovechild. This series is one of the best I have read each of the books can be read as a stand alone however, it is suggested that you read them all in order because the character do cross over into each of the stories. Andrius has always been feared by many just the mention of his name and men shake and that is without him coming after you so imagine if he sets his sights on you …yep that part there. We see a softer side to Andrius when he is with his wife and baby girl, but few know of this side to him. Ghost picks up right where The Heir left off on the edge of a war also, the introduction of a few new characters. I went to download it and basically started reading it right in the middle of reading another book that is how Andrius draws you in it is a book that read fairly fast and Andrius will do whatever it takes to keep his family safe even if that means becoming a ghost and we all know ghost move around as they please. Questions are will he come back to his family and can they face the challenges headed their way suspense, drama and passion is what will keep you turning the pages just to see the next twist on the path into the dark world of these beautiful mean and the women that brought them to their knees.

ANDRIUS IS BACK!!!!
After the attack that Konstantin suffered at the hands of Zoey bc of the Orden and that now threatens the lives of Violet and his daughter, Andrius decides to return to his old self once again even if it means breaking the promise he made to his wife.

“The man I love is about to head back into a world he promised me he’d left behind. Andrius is about to break a promise he made, and I don’t know if we can come back from that.”

Although they go through hard moments, the love they have is strong enough to survive this and more.

“I figured when I went away it would be damaging to our relationship. It felt as if I’d thrown a grenade into it, but you? You’ve just pulled the fucking pin.”

Action and a couple of 🔥🔥scenes between Andrius and Violet, what more could you ask for? Just one thing: that the book was longer.

“I promise you one thing— if ever something goes wrong between us, you’ll be the first to know; not the last. I’d end it with you before I looked at anyone else, but it isn’t going to happen. You’re it for me.” “You’re it for me, too,” I say and hug him tight. “You’re my everything, you bastard,”

I’m dying to read Priest’s book and see if he’s able to save Gezim’s daughter, Roze, and thus get the truce.

I couldn’t wait to read this story. I’ve been seriously addicted to this series! Each book gives me more of this Bratva world and the characters I already love with the introduction of new ones.

I have always loved Andrius as a character. He is so skilled and feared, but he has a softer side with his wife and daughter that is unbelievably heartwarming. The Ghost picks up right where The Heir ended – on the brink of a new war. I loved how the story unfolded, and the introduction of yet another new character – Priest. He is very alluring and intriguing even if he was a minor part of this story. I can already tell that Priest’s book will be another must read.

The Ghost was just as awesome as the other books in the series. It was fast paced and I was drawn to the story. I simply couldn’t walk away. I wanted more. Have I mentioned that the heat between Andrius and Violet is off the charts!?! If you haven’t read the series, start reading today. It promises great storylines, tender moments and plenty of alpha males that steam up your e-readers.

This is a wonderful addition to the series of Bratva Series
I loved every moment of this book it was a very enjoyable read and I must say both the plot and also the characters had been so very well written that once I started it was simply impossible to put this book down.
I loved the fact that once again Andrius had seemingly been brought out of retirement and his inclination to do whatever it takes to save his family and his friends, there is plenty of action and adventure in this book and I can say that you will not be disappointed with the contents of these pages.
There was just the right amount of action and adventure along with mystery and suspense and I can assure you that it will seem to take an age for the next book in this series to arise and I am sure that you will find it impossible to put this book down.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

And let's get busy...
Let's start a new book from the amazing SR Jones and another masterpiece from the Bratva Blood series...
And what series this has been. And the covers?
OMG, the covers are to die for... Hot as hell.
SR Jones has one writing full of steamy and raw scenes that will make you scream not only with desire and fear as well.
The Ghost is her latest release and it's the sixth book from this series.
I must advise you to read the entire series before this one. You'll love it. That's guaranteed.
This new book will give us another insight into Violet and Andrius life.
OMG, I missed these two so freaking much.
It's amazing to be able to remember the previous books while reading this one.
Perfect plot, very well written, super engaging, and intense.
It had that darkness that we are used to but also has the hot stuff.
And oh boy... What scenes...
This book had it all and I didn't want it to end.
Now I'm super curious about Priest's story...
What will happen there?
Great book SR Jones. Perfect in every way.

It's taken me a little bit of time to figure out what I wanted to say about this book.
First off, I love Andrius and Violet, and I was a bit scared to read this book. I know, it's a romance, so it has end to end happy, but still. I didn't want anything happening to my favorite couple.
Second.......I can not get enough of this book! There were moments where my heart hurt and moments that made me happy. The moments where my heart hurt, I had to remind myself that Andrius is doing everything he is, in order to protect Violet.
I've read this book about 3 more times, because I just can't get enough. It's fast paced, well thought out, and I LOVE that S.R. brings back characters from other books and series's. She is the queen of weaving characters in and out of her books and I think it's absolutely amazing!
Another job well done! I can't wait for the next book!
And if anyone needed a reminder, Andrius and Violet are still my favorite ;)

This novella is part of the Bratva Blood series-it's the first book I’ve read by this author, so I’m starting in the middle of a plot arc-there are 4 books before this. I am getting to know the characters & a bit of their history. It's a group of men who are returning to their past lives in order to protect their futures. Andrius will do anything to protect his wife & child. The story is quick, calculated, violent & steamy. You can also experience the struggles the couples still have based on their past experiences but they feel human. I don't know what the other books are like, but the women in this story definitely take a backseat to the men. Even though the story is short, it's enough to send me to stalk the author's backlist. I'm keen to start at the beginning.

I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.

Will he survive being a ghost and come back to his Violet

The Ghost is the fifth book in the Bratva Blood series. It is a fast-paced and enthralling story about Andrius and Violet. When war is coming Andrius decides he has to become a "ghost" in order to ensure he stays safe and can do what needs to be done. This mean he has to leave his beloved Violet. Even though Andrius is tough, unapologetic, and cut throat he has a softer side when it comes to Violet. He will do whatever it takes to ensure that she is safe and protected. Violet must let him go to do what he needs to, even though it means not being together. She can only hope and wish that he comes back to her safe and soon. In this book we also get to meet Priest. Let's just say that this man is anything but a Priest.

I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

SR Jones does it again.....

I loved this little story. Andrius is such a complex and powerful character, I can understand why Ms Jones continues his journey. The relationship between Andrius and Violet is deep and intriguing - so often we accept the HEA, but this story gives us more opportunity to understand the dimensions of their journey together and how it still has its challenges but built on their underlying strength and depth of connection.

I love the way other characters from this whole series continue to “pop” in - I feel like I know them and it creates a familiarity and connection to the plot development.

And, enjoyed the balance of the story, the relationships and the intriguing introduction of Priest...... can’t wait to discover his story too.

Thank you for giving us more of Andrius and Violet - thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend. 😊

The devilishly handsome and dangerous Andrius is back!  Andrius never breaks a promise, especially not one made to his wife Violet and their daughter. Threats are amounting from a new mafia and he must put a stop to it before they gain to much power, which means hes heading back to the world of his past the one thing he promised Violet he left behind a promise he must now break to keep his family safe. But can Violet ever forgive him? Can he become the Ghost once more and keep his family safe and not lose them at the same time?
Well written with a gripping story line that brings characters old and new back for another trip around the criminal world. With suspense, twists,desires, trust, love and more!

This is another wonderful addition to the Bratva Blood series and picks up right where The Heir ended. Andrius knows that the only way he can win this war is to play it out in his own terms that means he needs to be the one to declare war and to try to finish it on his terms. He can only hope that Violet and his daughter will be safe while he is gone and will be there when he returns. We get to reconnect with a lot of the characters from this series and are introduced to The Priest who I am sure is going to be a future star of his own book. if you haven't read any of the books in this series what are you waiting for run out and grab it now in fact grab anything that S R Jones writes you won't be disappointed

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? For Andrius, there is nothing that will stop him and it has him on the verge of doing something he promised he would not do. Violet, Andrius’s wife, has put up with a lot from her husband but is now praying for his safe return. Once again, this author has swept readers up in a vortex of drama, passion and high-octane action as “the ghost” returns to the forefront. It is a fast-paced storyline that will ensnare and captivate one’s heart while throwing in some unexpected surprises. I cannot wait to see what happens next with this series! If you enjoy reading mafia romance, then this is one book (and series) that needs to be on your shelf. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have been loving this series. I love how they are all interconnected but yet can be read as a standalone. In this book we get to revisit Andrius and violet! Typically each couple gets one book and while these two have already had their story told and are already a couple we get to see how they deal with a threat against their family and friends. This book picks up we’re the last one left off with Andrius and his friends gearing up to take on the mob that is targeting them. The main part of this book is what Andrius has to do to insure his family stays safe now and in the future. Both him and violet are worried what him being back in the bravta world will do to their marriage. Lots of drama and heat in this book and of course an HEA again for Andrius and Violet.

Andrius is back and he does not disappoint!!!

This was short and spunky, lots of drama and action! I started it one minute and then before I knew it I'd flipped all the pages and that was that! I feel it could have been longer but then maybe I'm just being greedy 😂

I really felt for Zoey and Vasily in this book, I know what she did was wrong and I don't expect everyone to forgive and forget but they all kept saying that they understood, but still shunned her 😭 maybe it's because we share a name I feel so connected to her 🖤

Violet and Andrius go through a rocky time in this book, but ultimately they both know it needed to happen!

I can't wait for Priest's book and I'm also gonna need that Andrius/Violet punishment scene Skye!!! 🥵

He broke his promise
Andrius had made a promise to his wife violet that he had left his old life behind him and he would never leave her again. But that is exactly what he is doing there is an anime coming after them and the only way he can keep his family safe is to go on the attack. And that means leaving his family behind I’m going after them.
I’ve had to play catch up as I haven’t read any other books in the series and that’s going to change because I really need to see where the story began but this story had everything in it it was just amazing it had suspense and mystery in your heart was in your mouth at times I can’t wait to catch up on this series.

>Book Review – The Ghost
>I am an independent reviewer. This book is a novella in the Bratva Blood series. Andrius is now happily married to Violet and they have a baby girl, Eliana. I love seeing this scary Russian mobster loving on his wife and daughter. Andrius is out of the mob life until there is a threat to his family. Andrius, Vasily and Priest go to Germany to remind the German mob not to mess with the Bratva. There is a some humor as the 3 men go undercover with ridiculous costumes. I did not like that Violet still did not trust Andrius 100%. Her actions kind of killed the romance for me.
>This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. The novella sets up the next story for Priest.

This novella picks up where The Heir ended. It follows Andrius and Violet. Andrius had made the decision to come out of retirement in order to finally put a stop to the danger to his family and friends. In order to do so, he knows he has to do something he promised his wife he would never do, go back into the crime world. He knows that this is really the only way to put a stop to everything and also protect his family’s future. This book is action-packed, full of suspense, danger, intrigue, and also steamy. It’s a mafia war at its best. It also has many of the other awesome character from the other books in the series. I loved this quick read.

Andrius will do whatever it takes to protect what’s his, even if it means becoming a ghost. As he plans for war, Violet struggles to let him go, praying he’ll return safe and sound. Will the challenges they have to face be tougher than either one of them can handle? This fast-paced read will have you on the edge of your seat at times and always keep you turning the page. The drama’s intense and lethal and the passion’s off the charts. It’s a tale that will stir your emotions and captivate your heart, and there are some surprising twists which lead us toward the next in this riveting dark world. I am so looking forward to what’s coming.

This episode involves all of the characters but it is primarily Violet and Andrius’ story. It is well balanced and although the violence is a little gruesome, there is not too much and the hot sex makes up for it. There is a new character introduced, Priest, who is a bit of an enigma at the moment but he gets his own book so we will find out more about him. Andrius and Violet have a slight problem during the book but come to a sexy resolution. Vasily and Zoey come to a decision that makes sense to.everyone. This is the closure of one chapter and the beginning of another and I can’t wait to find out what happens.

As amazing as the rest of the books in the Bratva Blood series. Andrius also known as the Ghost is ready to end the threat to his family and friends once and for all. Violet, his wife struggles with Andrius' decision, but Andrius must do everything that he is good at to make the world that surrounds his family to have peace and safety. As with the rest of the series this book has a fast pace and is full of drama and suspense. My hope is that this is not the end of the series, because there are a couple of characters that I think deserve to find a happy ending.

The Ghost is another addictive addition to the Bratva Blood series and continues with the series storyline.
A Mafia war has landed on their door and in order to protect what is his Andrius must break a promise to his wife and become the Ghost once more.
This fast paced novella brings us much loved characters from the series while introducing new intriguing characters that I can't wait for more of them in the future. The plot riddled with suspense, drama, mafia deliciousness, action, and some serious steam had me intrigued, addicted, hot and bothered, and high on anticipation!!!

Follows straight on from The Heir and it looks like there could be a war. Andrius had promised that eh would never go back to the life he lived before, but he knows he has to break that promise and he will do anything to protect those he loves even if it means hurting them and possibly losing them.
Priest is part of the team that Andrius trust to care for his family and can’t wait to read his story. Violet knows that Andrius has to make things right, it’s not just them they have to worry about now, but he broke his promise that he was done with that life, now she’s worried he’ll break his promise that he’ll return to her.

I’m so happy for more of Android and Violet. There’s a war brewing and Andrius and team are smack dab in the middle of it and need to end it. So much tension between the men and women with what went down with Konstantin. Andrius needs to put the fear of god into his enemies to end this war and keep his family safe. Violet is fierce but also insecure and it shows, but she has to keep it together for Eliana. This story is epic, suspenseful, full of trust and loyalty to a fault and Pierce, I can’t wait for his story next year. I received a copy of this book.

This is a wonderful addition to the Bratva world. Andrius and Violet are facing another war. Andrius had promised to step down and never be a part of that world again, but when they try to attack his family he will stop at nothing to keep them safe. He has to end this war and prove he's still capable of taking care of what needs to be done. He just has to make it back to his family and make sure they are going to be safe. We find out more about Priest in this story and I can't wait to read the next book which will show us more about him.

Another good read in the Bratva Blood Series by SR Jones! Got one laugh out loud, tell everybody around why from this one! But it was not as scary as I thought Andrius would be even though he drew his gun and threatened his own men once! This is, after all, the ultimate bad guy. I love that the author ended this book with expectations of the American Navy SEAL Priest's tale next, adding it to the Russians retiring from Bratva to Greece. These novels can be read separately, but to thoroughly enjoy read them in order!

Another Mafia Winner!!

Andrius is working to stay out of the mafia – but when a new threat appears, which includes all their family including children and wives, someone must take action. He promised Violet he would leave that world. Will she accept his decision; or will his efforts to protect her cause him to lose her?

Emotional, gritty and fabulous story of these characters we have come to know and enjoy.
Highly entertaining, and exceptional story to add to this fabulous series.
