Caring for the Bratva

by Flora Ferrari

This is the job opportunity of a lifetime. I’ve been working as a veterinarian’s assistant, but when I get the offer to care one-on-one for a diabetic Dalmatian called Lucky, I leap at the chance, especially when I see how much it pays.

I’ve got dreams of opening a dog sanctuary of my own one day. I can’t afford to turn down a chance like this.

But what they don’t tell me is my boss is Dominik Dudnikov, leader of the Bratva.

Apparently, I’ll rarely see him. He’s a busy man.

But when I start working, the six and a half foot silver-haired crime boss makes a point of spending time with me. With his dark compelling eyes and his hulking muscular body, he’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of in a man.

But I know he’d never want me. I’m a curvy twenty year old virgin with no experience at all. He’s a forty-two year old predator with a confident glint in his eyes and women throwing themselves at him every day.

That’s why I’m so surprised when he claims me in the most savage way imaginable.

But no sooner has our romance started than it comes under threat.

A war with the Italians could take everything we are building away. It could end in our deaths. Or worse.

I try to focus on Lucky, the cute dog who started this all, but it’s impossible not to fall under the spell of the possessive Bratva alpha.

*Caring for the Bratva is an insta-everything standalone instalove romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

This is a sexy and steamy mafia romance with insta love between Daniella and Dominik. The author brings strong characters and an action packed story and paints her scenes perfectly, moving the story quickly and smoothly. Loved reading their story and especially loved the extended epilogues.

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 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.
Daniella works as a Vet. Assistant, sweet, love animals and that is all the qualifications she needed to apply for the job of taking care of Lucky a dog with diabetes who needed a little more care than usual. Her boss tells her about the job offer but what her boss doesn’t tell her is that she will be working for the Bratva. Dom is sexy as all get out head of the Bratva, he loves his dog Lucky and will hire who is needed to care for them, but he didn’t expect the pull he feels the moment he meets Daniella. The chemistry is instant, and we all know what/who Dom wants he usually get, and Daniella isn’t an exception, and he is no stranger to working for what /who he wants. Will the magnetic pull be enough, will Lucky be okay, and can they find happiness despite the age difference?

Mrs. Ferrari surprised me again with this great story. I like the mafia stories and older man and younger woman. Dom is the Bratva and Daniella
works as a vet assistant and has an interview at Dom's house to care for his dog Lucky who has diabetes. She owes the job offer to her boss. She does not know who Dom is and that he is the boss of the Bratva and that his brother is his second in command.

The attraction between them is equal, the characters and the characters are great, but also the construction and the storyline is great. Despite Dom's job as boss and he has to do a lot to keep his city clean and safe, it doesn't stop him from making sure Daniella is and stays his, but also to protect her. I enjoyed this story, as I like all of Ms Ferrari's books in this genre. This book is definitely recommended!!!!

I'm on my way to read all the author's books, and nothing will stop me! I probably read this at the crack of dawn.

This story was the sweetest thing ever, let me tell you. There's a sweet dog, a dream of owning a dog sanctuary, and falling in love.

We have a mob boss hiring a vet for his sweet dog, who has diabetes. He doesn't trust many people to enter his life or handle his dog, so he realizes he has to hire someone because he can't be in two places at once. Once he sees our heroine, he knows she's the perfect pick for him and his dog.

The story follows how they deal with him turning all his business legitimate, being feared, loving each other, and taking care of his dog. Our heroine is fantastic; she's sweet and caring. I couldn't get enough of her personality, honestly a perfect fit.

Daniella first meets Dom when she is sent to his home to intervuew for the position of care taker for his dog Lucky. She works as a veterenary assistant and her boss tells her about this job offer that is to take care of Lucky as he has diabetes and needs extra care. What Daniella does not know for sure when she goes there is who Dom is. He is the head of the Bratva and has his brother as his second in command. Now although this story thouches on the Bratva theme and what Dom has to do to keep the city safe, it is more about the story between Daniella and Dom! I enjoyed the story and liked that we get to know the characters involved on a slightly deeper level.

Going The Extra Mile -
Once again Flora Ferrari has delivered an incredibly sizzling romantic story, with truly interesting characters and a splendid storyline. I loved that even though Dom was the head of the Bratva, he maintained his principles and ensured fairness for everyone who deserved it. Daniella on the other hand lacked confidence in herself, but her love for others shone throughout the story. I couldn’t help but fall in love with Lucky and it grew with each page turn. This book will be another brilliant addition to Flora Ferrari’s portfolio.

Ok so this is not a romantic comedy, but you have to laugh at the characters think patterns.

Both main characters have similar thoughts running around their heads.

Desire
Rejection
Fear
Love
Family

Desire for each other

Afraid the other will rejet them

Voicing the live they feel

Need to build a
Family

But when they come realize the feelings are mutual there is no holding back.

Bratva King and his Dreamer

Somebody wants his throne

He can over look that indiscretion

What he can not and will not overlook is insults thrown at his dreamer

I've read a lot of books written by Flora Ferrari; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

She has written another great story of an older man/younger woman romance; the story is well written; Daniella is working as a veterinarian’s assistant when she’s offered to care for one-on-one diabetic dog named Lucky; they tell her she’ll rarely ever see the owner; they don’t tell her he is the Bratva Boss Dominik; soon after she starts working for him he starts spending time with her more and more. It’s a good insta-love romance story.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book is an instant attraction romance between Daniella and Dom. She first came to care for Lucky but ends up finding a home with Dom. These two have a few differences, such as age, but love can overcome any of them. He is a Bratva boss that knows what he wants and she is it. Daniella is younger and sweeter but has the strength to fit into his world as long as he loves her. The story has some drama, danger, a little humor, and a lot of lust and love.

This is an insta love age gap story with the twist of a dog in the midst of it all. The story is mainly for the care of the dog from her. She is there to care for the ailing dog. The dogs owner has never cared for anyone or anything besides his brother till the dog. Now that the dog needs someone to care for him she is in the picture and happy to be there but confused with the owner that has decided as soon as he saw her that she was someone he could love. She has no idea he is head of the Bratva. With the age gap and what he does will these two have a HEA?

Daniella has a dream. She is young, alone and loves animals. When she gets a job opportunity that would get her her dream she takes it. Dom is in control of the Bratva. He is powerful, domineering, and demanding. He needs someone to take care of his dog, Lucky. It is a live in position and Daniella will be responsible for only caring for Lucky. When Dom sees Daniella he is stunned. He is mesmerized by her. He doesn’t understand it? What will happen? The story is unique, the characters very interesting, opposites of each - it makes for an entertaining sexy, smoking story.

Brilliant read

Brilliant read. Daniella applies to look after a day one on one but she never expected Dom the bratva boss to become her lover, husband and father to their children and with Lucky their dog who brought them together.
Dom knows what he wants as soo as he see Daniella he never thought he would find the one for him but now he has he will protect Daniella with his life and is true to his word. Daniella makes him want to spend more time at home but he needs to sort out some problems in the city first.
Daniella dream also comes a reality thanks to Dom but also the hard work Daniella puts into it.

[SusieQ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Caring for the Bratva was another OTT steamy romance by Flora Ferrari. Daniella and Dom were smoking hot together. Daniella has dreams to one day open a dog sanctuary so going to work as a live in care taker for a dog with diabetes is the perfect job. Dominick, as leader of the Bratva doesn't take no for an answer. So when he meets Daniella and sees how Lucky falls for her immediately, he knows she is the one for him. Their chemistry was off the charts explosive and if you like insta love romance you will love their story! 5 stars.

Daniella has a job interview of a lifetime. As a vet. assistant whose dream is to open a dog sanctuary, she's excited about taking care of Lucky, who's a diabetic Dalmation. She has no idea that she is working for Dominik who's the head of the Bratva. Dom makes a point of spending time with Daniella as he's found the one woman who he wants for his own. This is an insta love story with a strong attraction between Dom and Daniella. Love the interaction and the passion between these two characters. Great HEA.

I thought that this was a great book. I loved the connection and chemistry between these two. Dom is a possessive alpha and he can't seem to stay away from Daniella. Daniella is really sweet and to completely smitten with Dom and Lucky. I really enjoyed the drama, steam, love, tension, action and great HEA that this book offered. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Flora

This is a older man and younger curvy woman love story for Dominik Dudnikov and Daniella. Oh I so Loved how these two meet and fall in love over a dog that was a rescue from a puppy. I so loved how she is not afraid of Dominik. I loved how strong and brave Daniella is and how she teaches Dominik to trust in someone other than his brother.

Thank you to one Lucky dog.....

Caring for the Bratva may be book 246 in the A Man Who Knows What He Wants series but it is still smexy hot with passion and a sweet and delicious story. Daniella and Dom are wonderful characters and their story, with the addition of Lucky is entertaining. As soon as Dom sees Daniella for the first time he knows exactly what he wants and what Dom wants Dom gets. Their story is OTT, insta-lust/love with the sweet and romantic happy ending.

This was a great Insta-love story; quick fun read. Dom and Daniella meet when she applies for a job caring for his diabetic dog. The dog is pretty darn cute in this story playing match maker. The Dom and Daniella seem to be made for each other. Dom is also trying to broker peace with the Italian Mafia so they have to navigate through the dangers that come with that.

👌👌👌

This book was absolutely AH-MAZING! Typically, when I cannot put a book down, I get aggravated when I have to; however, as I waited to finish this book, I just became more and more hooked! Now, I don't normally recommend books from sites such as goodnovel, for I feel like an individual end up paying more in coins then the book is actually worth; BUT for this story and the way it draws you in, I will make an exception!! 😍😍

Dom and Daniella have a lot in common and their spark when they meet is undeniable. However, I think Lucky, Dom’s dog and the reason the two met in the first place, is the one that steals the show in this novel.

Loved this book. Dom is the head of the bratva and needs someone to take care of his dog lucky, Daniella goes for the job interview for lucky but what she doesn't expect is to have strong feelings for Dom. Will he have the same feelings for her?
