Summary

Pretty things aren’t meant to be broken. But I broke her, and now we both have to pay the price.

I’m her nightmare.

I’m her savior.

And now that I have her signature on an ironclad contract, I own her body and soul.

She doesn’t remember me.

She will.

It’s inevitable.

Because as much as I know I need to stay away, for fear of unlocking the memories I helped her father bury—I can’t.

She was the apple in the Garden, dangled in front of me, her core so tempting and sweet. A voice whispered. Just. One. Bite.

I bit.

I tasted.

I fell.

Welcome to the world of the Russian mafia, where death is your only future.

Lost for words!

I’ve read a few Bratva stories but I have to say this one ish the most extreme. I’m actually lost for words on how to review!

I love RVD’s mafia stories

The first book in a series that touches on Eagles Elite, and let me just say that Eagle Elite is one of my favourite series. Mafia romance at its best. Elite Bratva too is 100% mafia, and I was straight away sucked into the world of Nikolai and Maya. When Maya is taken by Nikolai for her own protection he tries to scare her into submission leading her to believe he is even more dangerous than her father. The more time Maya spends with Nikolai the more she sees his ‘layers’, and let me tell you. The guy has more layers than an onion. Lots of action, suspense, and a whole host of secrets in this forbidden super sexy Mafia romance. As with most most of RVD’s mafia romance the whole picture doesn’t become clear until the end, and throughout I was left anticipating the grand reveal. I was not disappointed. I can’t wait to continue the series. Tor Thom and Lia Langola narrate completely in character. A highly entertaining audio.

enjoyable book

the storyline is imaginative and keeps you hooked. the only thing that could have made it more enjoyable is if we got to hear the spice instead of it being off page (fade to black). the performance of the narrator's was great.

Long story with lots of twists

I loved this spicy book, it was a total red flag book for in real life but as a book it was a nice listen. Little too long for my liking but still finished with pleasure.

Different

Nice to read something with a different take on the typical. Don’t read if you don’t like dubious morals.

Half-Baked Fever Dream

The plot, the characters, their motivations, their relationships - it all felt rather underdeveloped and incongruent, which made for a very confusing and unsatisfying listen. It didn't help that both the organised crime aspects and the neuropsychology the "genius" kept citing were totally nonsensical; this would be forgivable if the thriller portion of the plot was just a vehicle for romance scenes, but those were also glaringly absent. It all culminates in a bathetic "twist" that felt like a piteously juvinile attempt at being clever.

The narrators were great. Really did the heavy lifting on this one. Give them a raise.

Started well but then went so down hill

No spoilers but this is the most ridiculous story. So many inconsistencies. And the big reveal was such a disappointment. Narrators good though. I won’t be listening to any other books in this series.
