Fierce Pursuit

Ivanov Crime Family, Book 4

De: Zoe Blake

Narrado por: Hollie Jackson, Tor Thom

I'm the only one standing between her and those who want her dead.

She sees a monster when she looks at me—blood-stained hands, a heart blackened by violence. What she doesn't see is that those same hands are the only thing keeping her alive.

She runs from me, again and again. But every escape only drags her closer to the enemies hunting us both.

She burns with hatred for the cage I've built around her… And yet, there's heat beneath the fury. A hunger neither of us can outrun.

The rival bratva won't stop until she's eliminated. My solution? Marry her. Make her untouchable. Bind her to me in blood and name.

She fights me at every turn—wild, beautiful, and furious. But this is war. And I protect what's mine.

When an ambush leaves her bleeding in my arms, everything changes. This marriage isn't a tactic anymore. It's a claim. A vow.

She'll wear my ring. She'll bear my name. She'll belong to me—Even if I have to break her to make her stay.

Buckle up, because this ride is darker, deadlier, and far more addictive than before. Step into the dark and dangerous world of the Ivanov men—where power is absolute, loyalty is lethal, and love is the ultimate risk.

(( 💠FIERCE PURSUIT 💠 )) Bk 4 In the Ivanov Series.

I have to Give Credit to Zoe Blake for writing such a good story.

I LOVE Her work .

I Love How She Adds Characters descriptions to her stories.

I personally look for them when chosing a story.

I can really relate to them with a detailed description of the characters.

Like how Koskov has Dark hair and Blue Eyes.
and Marina has Golden hair (blonde) with Emerald eyes .

Now about this book...

It blows me away Just how Wonderful the Narrators are at thier jobs, In bringing these characters to life.

AMAZING Voice over JOB to Our WONDERFUL Narrators ...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

HOLLIE JACKSON: as (MARINA) &
TOR THOM : as ( KOSKOV )

Sorry not sure how to spell his name. 😏

Tor is a wonderful Narrator and I really liked that he used his own voice other than using an accent Although he's really good at them too, I like his own voice.

He's sexy enough with is own blessed voice ... 🥰😍

Now Hollie Nailed the accent throughout the story. Really Believable Character.
👍👍👏👏

The story was pretty good too., but Honestly in my Opinion the fist 3 books were a bit better for me.

BK. 1 SAVAGE VOW
BK. 2 VICIOUS OATH ( My Favorite ) Were top notch, both I would rate 5⭐ books
BK. 3 BETRAYED HONOR might be just a bit rougher for some.

but all 3 had more interconnected characters in them. Which led to some funny moments.

This story here seemed to me to be a bit more Isolated with more focus on the main characters, which i normally perfer and less on the side characters.

Which was totally fine ,but I really enjoyed the banter between the Characters in the earlier books in this series .

There were a few new characters added in this book, Like Koskov's brothers ,which I am hoping leads to more banter and interaction of characters in Zoe's future books in this series .

Ok Now there was a scene on the train that might be triggering for some. I don't want 2 give anything away, but just be aware something could be coming up there.

Marina was on the run so there was no girl friends for her to lean on like the earlier books had.

Which was totally different from the norm in this series , but awsome in it's own right ,
It made her story unique.

There was one thing I was waiting for but never came , I was a bit disappointed to see Koskov, told his listeners a few times that he Loved Marina throughout the book but He Never told her !

So she never knew how he really felt.

I truly get the sister connection, between Marina and her deceased Sister Veronica , and The fact Koskov was married to Marina sister b4 her death but once Koskov, told Marina about her sister and his relationship with her and it wasn't a love thing, Marina should not have dwelled on about it after knowing the truth. Either party didn't love each other.

She made a mountain out of a mole hill about it. Butttt,,, Koskov, never told Marina he Loved her so there's that to consider as well.

It's a Good Individual Story.

It can be listed to as a stand alone or in the series .

but If you chose to listen to it in the series, You will get the references made from some of the other characters that happened in thier books, And Have a better understanding of how these men Behave. lol

Aside from my Preferences, I do think you will like this book.

Ohhh PS:
Just a heads up...
There is No BDSM in this book if that's what you are into, but there is some anel sex , and there is punishments like in all the books in the series.

Female narrator was awful

I loved this series until this book. The female narrator caused me to have to keep stopping. Tor Thom is one of my favorite male narrators and his parts are what helped me finish. The FMC acted like a petulant child throughout and the ending felt like it was rushed to quickly tie up loose end and it was over. I have to say this was the worst of the series so far.
