In need of money Sasha puts herself up for auction when one of the Ismailov brothers decide he is buying. I don't know if I can live in the world of arranged marriages but this book makes me wish I could!. I am loving these books!!!

Venedikt is jaw dropping delicious!!!
This installment of the Ismailov brothers just might be my favorite. No shade to Rurik and Sanyet. But Venedikt is sexy dangerous and honestly vulnerable at the same time. And that's part of what drew me in to Venedikt and Sasha's story. Sasha is determined to put herself up for auction, while Venedikt refuses to let any other man have her. Their story is full of humor, lust, danger secrets, family drama and some very very pick up your jaw off the floor sex scenes. Once again Jailaa West delivered on another amazing book. Every story gets better than the last. And the ending of this book says the next one is going to be totally wicked!! I definitely recommend this whole series! So worth reading.

Hmmm....
Not sure what to make of this, their intimate moments were awkward & lacking. Sasha had every right to be angry about the incoming bride she knew nothing about, having his brothers bully her into running back to him when Ven should have been the one groveling. This was so disjointed, anticlimactic & abrupt. This felt rushed, short romance stories are difficult to pull off. Sometimes it seems like these bw authors that write IR romances lowkey loathe black women. They are far too often written as pathetic & desperate. Always come from terrible upbringings & incapable of being smart & self-reliant, always need a man to rescue them from everything. Its so redundant, please try something fresh & compelling with these heroines.

Fabulous
Felt it was to short, loved Sasha & Ven. It just went so quickly, I’m mean I was getting good into it and it was finished, for them but with a cliffhanger kind of. I love the interaction between the two, Sasha did back down from Ven. And the way Ven loved she didn’t give in to him. Great romance, waiting for the next part.

Tamed by the Bratva Prince
Book 3 of the Ismailov Mafia Bad Boys is about the third Ismailov son, Ven. He falls for a girl offering herself for a virgin auction to advance her status in life, to travel, and to hire help for her parents. Sparks fly, danger comes calling once again. The saga continues. Can’t wait for Book 4 - Maxim’s story. Enjoy.

Ven & Sasha 💓Beauty and the Beast
Tamed by the Bratva Prince ( Mafia Bad Boys: The Ismailovs Book 3) I usually enjoy longer stories, but since my introduction to the Ismailovs, I've read book after book. Tamed is Ven and Sasha's story. This book is sexy, emotional and has a little action. I think the Bratva Prince was tamed, just like Beauty tamed Beast .👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Disappointing
Not as entertaining as the previous two. Why Sasha chooses to go see Ven to enter the auction just seems so random! Plus way, way too much introspection. Pages of it!! I started to skip pages. This was heading for a two star but the ending , namely the scene in the car with the brothers earned the extra star!! Classic Rurik!!! He’s awesome!!!!!

Yikes
The plot was actually pretty interesting but these spicy descriptions are frightening. Please accept some well meant feedback:
Gnawing and chewing on female parts should never happen. Took me right out of the scene. Also female parts dont emit puffs of steam like irons or tea kettles.

I feel bad for leaving such a horrible review and not explaining.
I didn't like this book because it was dry and felt largely revolving around the smut so the end was crammed with suspense to get you to read the next book. I didn't feel a pull to read this book and just couldn't get into it.

Not my cup of tea
For some reason, I just could not get into this story. It seemed as though it was more of the same like the previous two brother's story and there was just nothing there to hold my attention. I tried but I kept skipping pages.

She was the one
Ven and Sasha met each other with her crazy notion about selling her body and then turn around and gave herself to him how lucky can one girl get.🤔
