Publisher's summary

No one takes what's mine.

The lovely attorney kept a secret from me. A baby she’s been carrying since Valentine’s night.

The night we were thrown together by the roulette wheel. She never contacted me. Meant to keep me in the dark. She’s about to find out what happens when you cross a bratva boss.

Punishment is in order. Sequestering until the birth. And I’ll use that time to win her surrender. Because I don’t just plan to keep the baby - I plan to make his mother my bride.

And it would be much better for both of us if she were willing.

Great read!

The narrator nails it with the accent! Looking forward to the other books in the series.

A must read!

Loved this story and the narrator is incredible! He brings life to the story! I couldn't put it down!

A nice Love story ❤

Quiet Bratva almost no violence romance... it had some heat🔥 but nothing spectacular. Tastefully written & Narrated.

Taking a Bratva boss by surprise!!

I listened to Ravil and Lucy’s story and to me, Benjamin’s voice dripped the Russian mafia and left me with goosebumps. I loved how strong Lucy was and continued to hold her ground on what she wanted. Ravil was over the top possessive Dom that was emotionally closed off. Watching him melt for Lucy one hot, steamy moment at a time was perfection.

Listen to this? Da!

Loved these books, love the audios just as much. Benjamin Sands does a great job of portraying the characters and the stories are always sizzling. Renee Rose never disappoints.

Dark Romance

I got this book at a book convention so I have it try. It was well written and very dramatic story. But I realize dark mafia like genre just isn’t my jam. That is not the fault of the writer who did a great job with the story. If you enjoy dark romance and some non consent you will really enjoy this well written story.

I listened to the audio and it was also well done.

Lucy and Ravil

Lucy, an attorney, is paired with Ravil, a Bratva director, at a BDSM club and gets pregnant. He finds out when he has an appointment at her office and sees her baby bump. She never told him about the baby. He ends up kidnapping her to take care of her until the baby is born. He was awesome the way he took care of her. He thought of every and anything she could possibly want or need except her freedom. One of her friends finds out Lucy was not on bed rest and calls the police on Ravil and his crew. They are promptly arrested. This was a very enjoyable listen although I felt that the book ended rather abruptly. I am sorry there is not a part 2 to find out how things turned out for them and their baby boy. Benjamin Sands did a great job with the narration.

Always a pleasure to read a Renee Rose story

First let me say that the narrator definitely brought the sexy russian accent. perfect voice. perfect narration.

This is Book 1 of the Chicago bratva series.
It's a great start to an exciting new series.

This book sits in the Taconi universe( check it out if you haven't read them yet) so expect that bad boy with redeemable qualities vibe.
Great characters. Story unfolds at a perfect pace.
I really enjoyed it. It has all the elements of a good romance with a healthy dose of steam. HEA is an absolute.

I am a fan of Ms Rose's stories.
I find her writing style conducive to a rather enjoyable read. The ending might have a certain predictability with the whole HEA concept but the journey to get there is not.

I highly recommend. It's got my 5* approval.


I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Reading or Listening - this is the BEST!!

Another example of reading and listening bringing out different aspects of the story.

This is an amazing series, and this is one of the top stories for me. The captor shows the most kindness the captive has ever know. Heartwarming and heart wrenching. I love the cleverness of the language used as a weapon.

Absolutely love this!!

One Night Turns Complicated

This was a great start to this new series. Lucy and Ravil's relationship is complicated, to say the very least. I really liked Ravil. Sure he was very dominating, had an edge and was not really by any stretch of the imagination a "good guy". That being said he was also caring. honorable, could in fact be very sweet and had some vulnerabilities that added some very appealing softness to him. As for Lucy, I have to be honest and say that I spent almost all the book either trying to like her or not liking her very much. I feel this was manly do to my own pet peeves. I was not a fan of many of her actions and in fact I felt she came across as quite the hypocrite. Even with my not being a huge fan of her character, I did in fact love the book and really like these two as a couple. The storyline was steamy, emotional, tension-filled and dramatic. It grabbed and held my attention easily. Plus it also introduced a slew of very intriguing secondary characters that have me super excited to read many more books in this series. Single narration here but I found the voice pleasing and the performance excellent.
