About this listen

Nina

Charming, captivating, seductive—and a cold-blooded killer. I married the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva anyway. I had to, it was part of the deal.

Now, I’m faking marital bliss as I tremble with fear, and I cannot wait to be out of the clutches of this ruthless man.

Roman

I get anything I desire, and I want this perfectly imperfect little manipulator. The way she can deceive anyone into believing she’s crazy in love with me just makes me want her even more.

She doesn't know it yet, but I am not letting her go.

The deal is off.

Enjoyable listen

This was an enjoyable read thought the beginning of their story/romance seemed a little rushed. However the characters are great, the care, banter and chemistry is entrancing. And the audio is perfect, the two narrators voices work well together and create a soothing and sensual experience while listening to this bratva read.

I am excited to continue the series and see what comes next.

Enjoyed It!

I really enjoyed this book. The only thing that I was kinda thrown off by was the "baby" nickname.

Not usually a fan of mafia romance but this one attracted me

There is enough suspense to keep the story going and enough emotional turmoil to find the good ones, which as always are well hidden. I’m keen even to read the next in the series, despite this being totally fine HEA and stand alones and cliffhangers avoided.

Loved this….

This book was great. I would of liked to see more of a fight, I feel like the leading lady gave in too quickly. A great performance.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nina and Roman's love story! Starts as a marriage contract to clear Nina's Dad debt owed to the Pakhan. Nina is an artist, she's talented and beautiful. Roman is recovering from a car bomb attack. The story unfolds and the chemistry grows. I have never listened to or read a book by Neva and it won't be my last. The story is beautifully written with an element of charm. Both Roman and Nina are loveable characters and this just makes the story all the more sweeter. The steam is tastefully done, I do love a lot of steam but this one should quite the prudes.

The narrator were fantastic and made each character come to life.

This book is being added to my favorites.

I love an overprotective MMC

I really liked this story. The only downside was the different pronunciations of the MMC's name by the narrators. One calls his Ramon and the other calls him Roman. Other than that it's a good listen.
