The Bratva's Fake Wife

By: Bella King

Narrated by: Kaylee Blair

Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

I woke up in a mafia boss’s bed, married to a man I’ve never met before.

My name is River, or at least that’s what he calls me.

And apparently, my husband is a wealthy mafia boss.

A wicked man who makes his enemies disappear with a snap of his fingers, and my clothes just as easily….

He tells me that I’ll remember everything soon enough, that we just have to go through the motions, that I will fall in love with him again.

Madly in love.

But his six-pack abs and skilled tongue aren’t enough to dissolve my suspicions, or cover up the fact that I don’t remember our wedding, or how we even met.

I knew something wasn’t right from the beginning, but I fell for his charming lies anyway, and only now do I realize my mistake.

My name isn’t River, and the man in my bed isn’t my husband, but the baby in my belly is real, and it belongs to him.

Leaves a Bit to be Desired - Overall Lacking

The narration was quite terrible. I changed the speed/pace of the reading with hopes that would help with no luck. There is not much to say about the book, the plot of the was simply okay as it lacked depth and breadth. In other words, missing the zestful qualities that all excellent books must possess - overall lacking (requires proficient/ quality narration; a plot with zest, depth, and details that outlines the overall theme, addresses the 5Ws and H and answers all potential questions the reader may have about the characters. This book leaves you with more questions than answers. Where did she from?
How did the hero and heroine come to terms with their feelings for each other, throughout the book?

The plot just all of the sudden, one day he and/or she fell in love; although they knew literally nothing about the other than you'd read from a newspaper..

I mean, no gradual, I am going to resist the feeling or the infamous, I'm not deserving of love; or my favorite, I can't identify what this is I am feeling but of late my actions, responses, emotions etc. have changed, and so, it requires my best friend or a close relative to point out that I am in love with the man/woman.

Additionally, there were no progressive transition throughout the entire book, i.e. he/she thinking or stating I'm having XX feelings..... he or she makes me feel like no one else has..... I love it when he or she does ......... just nothing. These basic things were never addressed.
Where are the actual details of her past? What actually happened to her family? Now that she regained her memory, no was attempt to learn or close-out any info from her past for the readers. The 60 words provided about the heroine basically addressed nothing.
Moreover, how she came to her revolutions in the end for wanting to be with the hero after attemping to run was simply ludicrous and opposite to her portrayed personality. Note to author/editor, this is supposed to be a book for adults, not gullible children. There has to be a progressive /transition in the plot, for which day subsequently changes to night..... not an abrupt change.

Hoped my ramblings for a review helped.
