I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Olivia is given to Dimitri on her fathers deathbed. He has also risen to boss and has new responsibilities that include taming his wife. Olivia has a rocky history with him and does not want to back down or submit to him in any way. There is a fine line between love and hate and these two walk it thru most of the story. The book is full of danger, drama, anger, betrayal, lust and finally love. They have a few obstacles in their way to happy future together, including staying alive. I enjoyed their story and thought they had a lot of chemistry between them.

I've always had a soft spot for Russian Bratva stories. Vals dad gives him a ultimatum, marry and produce an heir or lose the position of the Bratva crown. So here he is at the man's house that owns money making a deal to take his daughter Isabella in exchange. She must marry him and give him a child. I didn't see it as an arranged marriage it was more of a forced marriage. Neither expected to find love with each other. The story had suspense, drama, lust and love. This is the first book I've read from this author. I plan on reading another of her books. I received an ARC copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this thrilling, dark mafia romance! Dimitri Petrovich is a Russian Bratva Boss. Olivia Castello is the daughter of an Italian Mafia Boss. Their alliance would be challenging under the best circumstances but since Dimitri used to torment her in school, Olivia has not forgotten or forgiven him. Will they find a way to work together to save her family's business? Can Dimitri keep her safe? Will a business arrangement lead to something more? This story is told in dual POV with descriptive details in settings, an intriguing opening paragraph, good plot and multilayered characters. With danger, suspense and passionate interludes, this story is page-turning entertainment! 5 stars
A captivating enemies-to-lovers book two in the Bratva Bosses series! The story-line is well written, relatable, emotionally deep, engaging, and steamy with drama, action, angst, danger, betrayal, steam, and more. The characters are amazing and strong; the chemistry between them is undeniable and off the charts. Definitely recommended!

This book was just alright. Not good not bad. The story is set up so you believe Olivia is a hard ass but after her wedding she turns into the mafia wife she said she’d never be. Right down to trusting people she knows make her uncomfortable. Then suddenly in the epilogue, she’s badass again. Yeah, just boring old alright.
I enjoyed this story. I like Olivia and Dimitri. I do think Olivia should gave held off a little longer in forgiving Demitri for the things he did to her when they were younger. Dimitri should have apologized sooner. I l iike the plot. There are steamy scenes. Olivia shows strength and resolve against those who threaten them.
Loved this book but wish it would have been longer. There are still some questions I would loved to have answered. Other than that I loved chemistry between them.
A little better than the first book. A bratva member taking over la Famiglia...would have never crossed my mind as a writer. Kudos. Loved it and I never suspected the consigliere in the assassination attempt on Olivia. Or that his daughter would be involved.
This is a good read. She didn't want to marry him because he was Russian plus she did not like him. End the book with a happy ending. It is worth the read.
For a short novella, this had a lot of information and story packed into it! I really ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would. Olivia’s character is so strong.
Dimitri's and Olivia's arranged marriage Bratva story is well written with engaging characters and a story line that keeps the reader very entertained and interested. Some mafia genre can become convoluted with too much detail or in some cases not enough. This author gets the right combination in this novel making it a read that most will enjoy.
Arranged marriages are always tricky and can be repetitive in nature since they are written about so much. Their is plenty of suspense, intrigue, as well as a good story line with strong characters. There is plenty of panty melting sex for those who like a lustful duo.
