Twisted Proposal

Ivanov Crime Family, Book 5

De: Zoe Blake

Narrado por: Hollie Jackson, Tor Thom

I'm not the hero in this story—I'm the monster who claimed what wasn't his to take.

I was supposed to sell her to the highest bidder, a marriage that would seal alliances and strengthen her family's power.

But seeing her bloodied and defiant changed everything.

Her father and brother thought they could use her as a pawn.

They didn't realize I was playing a different game entirely.

I destroyed them all, leaving her seemingly free—only to chain her to me instead.

She thinks she can escape, build a normal life away from the violence she was born into.

She doesn't understand that what I protect, I possess completely.

And now, she's mine.

The problem?

She fights me with every breath, refusing to be anyone's property… especially mine.

Her fierce defiance only makes me want her more.

What she doesn't know is that her freedom required a blood payment, and that debt is coming due.

As enemies close in, threatening what's mine, my decision is final.

She will be my wife.

She will wear my mark.

She will surrender to me completely.

Even if I have to break her first.

Welcome back to the ruthless world of the Ivanov Crime Family, where power is everything, love is a dangerous game, and mercy is a weakness. The next generation has arrived—Konstantine, Artem, Pavel, and Roman—Russian cousins forged in blood and bound by loyalty. They're darker, deadlier, and more relentless than ever.

This is just the beginning—four new books, four ruthless Ivanov men, and one unforgettable ride.

Are you ready to be claimed?

I HAVE NO WORDS!!!

This one might be my favorite out the the Ivanov series but then again I have a feeling book 6 will give this one a run for its money lol. But the chemistry, the banter, the DRAMA between Artem and Victoria.. chefs kiss! Oh and the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ top tier can’t wait to read book 6!

Artem & Veronika

This was a good one too. It started off super fast and kept going. I had to keep starting and stopping bcz of distractions and it was so frustrating bcz it was good. Again, another FMC who was fierce (all are measured to Yelena, the Queen) and did not put up with Artem’s antics. I did enjoy that unlike Gregor, Artem at the end did realize his mistakes along the way and truly tried ti be better - for a bit anyway. As always the narration was fantastic with excellent accents. I purchased the audio version and recommend it bcz it adds so much to the story.

Good read

I liked this as much as the previous books in the series. Tor Thom is one if my favorite narrators. Did’t care for the female narrator.

I love the narrators

I love the whole story line and how they always end up falling for the big mean man.
