The Ismailovs #4
Treasured by the Bratva Prince
She lied to escape her brutal family.
She married him because he was her only escape.
Did she exchange their brutality for his cage?
Because now that he has her, he’s never letting her go.
He’ll keep her lying mouth busy until her body speaks the truth.
She. Is. His.
Love games—War games...
Is there any difference?
Treasured by the Bratva Prince is book 4 in the Bad Boys Mafia The Ismailovs. It immediately follows the events in book 3, Tamed by the Bratva Prince. Although this fast-paced short book is a standalone it is best enjoyed after the preceding books. Treasured is a safe, steamy, light mafia romance with some dark elements. It has a HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and may require several fans and a fire extinguisher while reading.

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!!!

Soooo unexpectedly good!
As commanded by his brother Rurik, Maxim was forced to marry Zoraya. The person who betrayed the Ismailov family to Baranov, Hannah's father. Maxim already had trust issues from a previous relationship that left a very bitter taste in his mouth and a hard for lying scheming women. Which Zaraya fell into both categories. But everything was not exactly what it seemed.
Maxim and Zaraya's story was full of such raw anger, disdain, fear, lust that would eventually lead to love. I loved the way Jailaa West developed Zaraya's character. The mystery around who she was and what lead her to doing the things that she did. As well a exposing Maxim's vulnerability and allowing him to grow beside Zaraya and learn that you can't paint everyone with the same brush.
I loved the ending! My only complaint is that I wish we got an epilogue into their future. But overall this was a really good read. Sooo worth reading and 5 ⭐'s.

short
They’re getting hate married. They’re hate screwing. Then they love each other in the last few pages and it’s over. Wham bam boom- done. What happened to the rest of their story and their relationship where we see their interactions and chemistry outside the bedroom? Nada- nothing. In the bed, out the bed, oh we love each other, there now it’s done.

Arranged marriage, forced proximity, and heightened personalities?!??! Count me in!
I enjoyed the back and forth conversations betwen Maxim and Zoraya but at moments the morally grey acts seemed a little on the, you need therapy cusp. In the end, things worked out, but I feel the storyline was a little too short, and rushed.

Antisipation
This book was a little slow to start but when it did it was brilliant although I would have liked a little more after there reconciliation ended a little too quick but good non the less

Inn the end they chose each other
Maxim and Zoraya were not ready to be married as both of them had problems with arranged marriages as both of their parents and Mason's brothers were. I'm not too fond of short stories and wish there was more to the stories in this series

Absolutely AWESOME 😁
This series has a lot to give, cuz each story makes you wonder if each person is worthy 😉. Intense emotions, some violence, yummy sex and interesting characters 😄. Thanks again Jailaa, I truly LOVED reading these stories and can't wait to read more 🤓.

4/5 This really needs to be proof read again, there were a ton of error that should have been caught. Kind of took away from the plot a bit. Also, I love an enemies to lovers trope but I didn't really feel the connection between these 2 as much as I did with the others.

what happened
I'm stuck. I need to know what happened to the original betrayal and the outcome of Zora and Max. is she going to tell him why she did it and they take down her family?

Enemy to lovers
Like the whole story felt it stopped too soon. Wanted a little more take and giving. But the players fit well in the storytelling
