Ok here we go. This book was really good. There were a few things that bothered me & iI shall list them. The first, I think him not believing her was a bit ridiculous. If she was really with someone else & working with her father, do you really think she would sleep with him? I could see if that's all she was, sure. I can't imagine any guy being ok with his fiancè sleeping with another dude. Also, if she wanted to kill him she could have after he fell asleep. She bares her soul to you & you automatically assume she's out to get you? The only thing that "Miki" proved was who her father was. Where did he go? Why didn't he try to find him? It never mentions where he went or why he didn't keep looking. He basically disappears & then once Ivan is back, he just picks up where he left off. That's a little odd to me, considering he was more of a friend than employee. The last thing, the use of the word "cheesy" or the phrase "sounds cliche". So it was good, I wouldn't not recommend it. Just maybe as filler book, something you read to pass the time waiting for another book or for your laundry to dry. On to the next!

Imagine going to your best friend’s wedding with your boyfriend and getting the surprise of your life. Before the final I do could be said, my best friend and my boyfriend took off down the aisle together leaving everyone in shock.
Well, that is what happened to Willow. While she is wallowing in self pity with friend Viktor, he spots a letter from Daria apologizing for what she did to Willow and it includes 2 tickets to Greece. Willow decides to go before her father takes over her life. (He has already arranged a man for her to marry).

Ivan gets the news that a shipment of guns were stolen from his family.
It is Ivan’s responsibility to calm the disgruntled client whose guns were not delivered as promised, so he heads to Greece. 

Used to having women throw themselves at him, Ivan doesn't understand why Willow doesn't.

When he finds out who Willow is, he makes assumptions about her that could prove detrimental to them getting to know each other better.

A good read.

Ivan meets Willow when she trips over him on a Greek beach. Instantly, they feel connected, especially when they find out they both live in Moscow. She blows him off, but he cannot stay away. When they spend a night together, he plans to whisk her away. Then he finds out she has played him. It is all danger and intrigue from there, until he, naturally, falls in love with her and they get their HEA.

This is a well-written Bratva novel. Ivan is dark and growly and beautiful. Willow is stronger than she believes, and when she finally stands up to her father, she finds out just how strong. Just when you think Ivan is the last Koslov to get his HEA, a surprise comes along. Good news! I'm happy for another Koslov Bratva book from Ms. Winters. I really enjoyed this one.

Ivan, the youngest of the Koslov Bratva brothers, is an arms dealer who has just had a large shipment stolen. Now he must find and kill the thief and then make things right with his buyer who is located in Greece. Willow Egorov and her friend Viktor are also en route to Greece she needs to get away and have some fun after her best friend and boyfriend's betrayal.

Ivan and Willow meet for the first time on a beach on Crete where Willow's attitude towards Ivan both surprised and intrigued him, he wasn't used to anyone speaking to him in that way. In their next meeting, Ivan rescues her from the attention of a drunken bully. After this, a real connection forms between them and their relationship heats up but then Ivan finds out that her father is Armon Egorov, a corrupt Moscow politician. Willow's not close to her domineering father, he's always treated her horribly but that makes no difference to Ivan, he feels betrayed and plans to kidnap her to use her against her father…

There is so much more I could say but it's best if you find that out for yourself, download and enjoy!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.

Bratva Boss is Ivan's story. He goes to Greece to find out who stole from the family. While there he meets an amazing woman, Willow. He finds out who she is the daughter of his enemy. The story is just beginning.

The romance between Ivan and Willow is fun. Willow is a strong character and stands up to Ivan. She has been dumped on by men for the last time. She is still under her father's thumb though. Ivan falling is love is interesting to watch. Ivan's subtle character change is all due to Willow. The action and twists can be found practically at the beginning and continues throughout the story. The characters are interesting but different but fit together. Every time I got to the end of a chapter I found myself saying just one more which led to a long night.

Following the betrayal of her boyfriend and best friend, Willow decides she needs to get away from everything and heads on vacation to Greece. There, Ivan and Willow meet and the sparks between them fly.

Soon, Ivan discovers she is the daughter of his enemy and comes to the conclusion she was sent to spy on him and decides to turn the tables on her father and use her for his own gain. He pushes away his feelings for her, certain that she betrayed him.

Willow is angry and hurt that he would think she would do something like that and leaves. Their flight crashes and they are left stranded. Having to work together to survive, they are forced to confront their issues and soon reconnect.

What happens when they are rescued? Will Willow be able to find her way back to Ivan? How will her father react knowing she has been in close quarters with the enemy? And just what will she do when she is faced with two pink lines?

Love it. From beginning to end, it has all the touches for a good read, the plot kept me glued to every page. I fell in love with Ivan, that prince of the mafia, who knew Willow and the attraction they had was intense. Although she tried to stay away, in the end after overcoming the time on the island and getting rid of the bad guys who stood between them they managed to be together. I'm already looking forward to the next book.

What an amazing book to read, the author Misty Winters has done a brilliant job bringing this story to life and the characters were sensational. This book gave you everything you would want in a Mafia story. Willow went to Greece with her good frIend Viktor when she fell over gorgeous man abused him and left. Ivan is rich gorgeous and Mafia and his best friend went to Greece to see a client. Willow was at a bar when a drunk tried to attack her before he could hit her Ivan jumped in and saved her. They got on really well so they went for a walk together that turned into jumping in the water, they went back to his room and they got hotter than hot it was one magical night they don't want it to end until he finds out who she.

This is the 3rd book in the Kozlov Brothers series and in this story we get to see how Ivan and Willow meet each other while on vacation in Greece. This is a hot mafia romance that is filled with chemistry between Ivan and Willow along with drama, secrets, deceit, trauma, and banter. I was hooked on this book at the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. What another great read from this amazing author.

At her best friend's wedding, Willow watches as Roan, the man she thought was the love of her life, runs off with her best friend. Viktor, Willow's gay friend, makes her take the trip to Greece she was supposed to take with Roan with Viktor in tow. The day after their arrival, they are walking down the beach with Willow not paying attention when she trips over the legs of Ivan and spills her drink all over his chest. This story has action, romance, and steam, ending in a HEA, then a cliffhanger. Very highly recommended.

I LOVED THIS UNUSUAL BRATVA STORY. Ivan is the youngest brother in the Koslov Bratva family. Their primary money maker is selling weapons and Ivan has just had a large shipment stolen. He’s heading to Greece to appease the buyer and kill the thief. Willow Egorov is heading to Greece with Viktor, her gay best friend. While at her best friend’s wedding, Willow’s boyfriend ran off with the bride, her childhood friend. Willow is totally devastated and Viktor is going to help her recover and have some fun. Willow is also treated horribly by her domineering father, Armon Egorov, a corrupt Moscow politician.
On the island of Crete in Greece, Ivan and Willow meet on the beach and it is not a pleasant interaction. Willow was not very nice to Ivan. He was stunned but intrigued that someone would talk to him like that. The second time they bump into each other, Ivan saves her from a drunken bully. A real connection develops between them, in fact, their relationship heats up (I mean HOT boiling) until Ivan finds out who she is, and who her father is. Ivan feels betrayed. He plans to kidnap her and use her against her father… But… disaster strikes and Ivan and Willow are lucky to be alive… they are stranded…alone on a deserted island. This is a story that holds your interest from start to finish. Ivan is one HOT sexy guy. I received a free advanced copy of this story from Booksprout. I am leaving my honest opinion because I review everything. Linda

Misty Winters has done it again. She has written a fast paced, action packed Mafia romance which will keep you turning pages until the exciting end. Willow is the daughter of a Russian politician and criminal. She is participating in her BFF's wedding along with her secret boyfriend when the boyfriend and BFF bride-to-be run away leaving Willow crushed. She goes to Greece to get away and meets Ivan who is chasing some stolen weapons shipments. You'll definitely want to read this story to see whether they get together, what happens when Ivan discovers who Willow's father is, and then what happes next. Hold onto your hat because you are in for a wild ride.

Willow and Ivan were awesome! These two were star-crossed lovers who met by chance while in Greece. Willow was hiding from her evil father while Ivan was plotting against her father. These two had no idea who the other were, but when Ivan discovers who she is, he thinks she's been secretly plotting against him. This story was heartbreaking and suspenseful with so much angst and steam! I really enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster these two took me on!.

I loved this book, it got to the heart of the plot in record time. The characters all interact with each other great and put feelings behind it.
Ivan and Willow have an instant attraction to each other while on vacation. What they don’t realize is that they are enemies and should not be together at all. They survive a plane crash, being attracted by wild boar, her father, and just about anything else you can think to throw at them.
They come together and take out her father, start their future together.

There was no much mafia dealings, but there was some violence.
It was steamy and i liked the MC.

Good Mafia story. I liked the chemistry between them even though I thought that Ivan was a jerk in the beginning. I liked how Willow came out of her shell with him and thought the ending was great.

Will Ivan realise too late about Willow?

Misty Winters this is 5 star excellence from start to finish. I absolutely love mafia stories & this one knocked it out of the park. The storyline and plot for Willow & Ivan really captured my attention from the very 1st line to the last line. I wanted to smack Ivan a few times for the dumb ass things he would say but I also cheered loudly for the way Willow would not take any of his BS. This bratva book definitely ticks the boxes for dark, spicy, steamy & enemies to lovers.I would highly recommend reading this book as you can't go wrong.

I loved the Kozlov Brothers and have been waiting for Ivan's story. He was just as intriguing and delicious as Misha and Dymitriy were. From Willow and Ivan's forst encounter the sparks flew! Although Willow was a bit bratty at times she ended to be exactly what Ivan needed. I can't wait for the next book.

I loved Ivan and Willow; this book was wonderful. Ivan for sure lived like a Prince and had all the finest stuff. I hated what Willow went through in the beginning of the book, but life got much better for her in the end. Ivan is your typical playboy and I loved how Willow found her voice and took a stand. If things hadn't happened the way, they had I don't think Ivan would have ever really listened to Willow. I like how the author gives us bits here and there about how the other Kozlov brothers are doing. The epilogue was probably my most favorite part of the book and I'm so glad that this series is not ending yet. I always love when a big bad mafia man turns to mush for his woman and family. This book has everything I want, and a 5-star read, it has spice, great writing, good plot, and gets you hooked dying to know what's going to happen through some twists and turns. Can't wait my next read by this author.

I truly loved this Russian mafia romance, it was unique to me! And, once again Misty Winters' writing was superb!
I was so excited to start reading it and it did deliver!
I was also pleasantly surprised with the storyline, it's a real scenario, and it was a breathe of fresh air! Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop until I was on the last page, and their love story is beautiful!
Willow and Ivan are wonderful characters, strong in their own way and I loved their raw connection! For me it was amazing to see their relationship and feelings grow naturally and realistically! Pure magical!!

It's an easy read, intriguing and the plot details are perfect!

You'll fall in love with Willow and Ivan love story!

I 100% recommend this thrilling book and magnificent writer to everybody into mafia romances!.

What I loved about this mafia book is that it is about a relationship between a mafia man Ivan and his soulmate Willow. It centers on the detailed realistic account that focuses on them. They are in a situation where there is no one influences them. A microcosm event occurs and they really get to know the real person beyond the facade they show the world. Really loved this. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
