Dubrov Bratva #5
Arranged Bratva Virgin
I resent my new arranged mafia husband. But I’m supposed to give him my innocence.
He’s much older than me, and he wants to ensure an alliance with my family.
I thought that our marriage would be fake, for appearances only.
What I didn’t know is that he’s been obsessed with me the moment he laid eyes on me…
He watches my every move over the security cameras in his mansion.
He stalks me to make sure that I’m safe and don’t do anything he doesn’t want.
I saved myself for the one, only to realize that I’ll be giving it to this ruthless man.
I’ll be handing over my innocence to a cold-blooded mobster who will never love me.
I try to set boundaries, but he refuses all of my demands.
He commands me to lay myself bare before him, with nothing to protect myself.
He humiliates me by making me wait and changing his mind.
But my soft, warm body wants to offer itself to him regardless.
Can this cruel monster ever really love me?
The Dubrov Bratva are the ruthless keepers of the city, the cold protectors of the women they claim, and the gentle daddies of the babies they make. Love them or hate them, you have no choice but to obey them the minute they decide that they want you for life.

Good stories
I enjoy these stories and the characters in them are interesting. This is Stefanos story and he's working with the Dubrovs after coming to terms with his father's betrayal in the previous book. He suggests an arranged marriage with Darya Dubrov as he's always been attracted to her and she agreed although her brothers have to be persuaded. As usual there's twists and turns in the story as the characters change and it's enjoyable.
I did however wonder where Fyedor went and who Ivan was and I have read all the previous books. I suppose it'll come to light in the next books

Another great book
This is the 5th book in the series and it’s very good. This is Stefano and Darya’s story. They are characters from previous books. Their marriage is for an alliance but he has been obsessed with her from the first time he saw her. He didn’t think he was good enough for her. He had a traumatic childhood and had walls built around him to keep from getting hurt. They grew to love each other. Great plot and epilogue.

Who the HECK is IVAN.
I don't know why or how this escaped the author or Beta readers but why was the older brother's name changed from Fyodor to IVAN. For 4 books including his own story it was Fyodor. The only Ivan was a guard. This really bothered me the entire book. Also, when do smugglers have customer liaisons? The the Bratva supposedly. Also a board of directors. Really. Come on. Does this author understand mafia AR all.

Who's Ivan?
I thought the Dubov brothers to Dariya were Fyodor, Kiril, Maxim, and Pavel. In this book, Ivan is mentioned as the brother. Who is Ivan? What happened to Kat? Where did Fyodor go? This and the grammar mistakes distracted me from the story. Hope the next one is better...

2.5 stars. This series was okay. More and more typos as the series went on. The hero in this was too weak and many times insecure. Did not appreciate how he let Reina fawn all over him in front of Darya. And Darya only seemed annoyed with Reina not her husband who took all day in front of all his employees to tell Reina to stop coming on to him…

Stefano and Daryl
Stefanie knew Daryl and was following her around to keep her safe and decided he wanted to marry her. Daryl didn’t really like Stefano but would do anything for her brothers and she did agree to marry Stefano. It was a fantastic book of coming together as a family that Stefano never had

So glad there was a story for Stefano and Darya!
This was really good! Initially I was not as invested in these two characters but that quickly changed as soon as I was halfway through the first chapter. This was a fun, interesting and spicy read with a HEA.

Stefano will get what he wants!
Ever since Stefano laid eyes on Darya he wanted to make her his. Imagine his surprise when she agreed to their arranged marriage. Now he just needs to convince her he's everything she never knew she wanted!!

Stef drove me crazy. He was ADHD and chaotic. He was very self centered plus insecure. DNF.

Average
Much less grammatical errors than in previous books. Still a few silly mistakes however, that should have been dealt with. Average story telling.

DNF at 20%, 完全不明白女主為何要答應嫁給男主, 沒有人迫她甚至連提出的男主也嚇了一跳。然後一逼受盡委屈的樣子🙄

The writer melds together a family oriented tale amidst the violence of the Bratva. You won’t be disappointed reading these books!

Good Series
So far I have liked all the books. Great characters and story lines. However, someone needs to proofread and edit.

Writing is lacking
The writing just lacks maturity. It’s nothing to do with concept, it’s the execution. It reads like a first write.

It's an arranged marriage with an older man, Stefano and Darya. The only good thing about it is he's good-looking and wealthy. He's Bratva and so are her brothers which is why he wants this marriage and she's gorgeous. The marriage will make an alliance he needs because someone is targeting him. The book hooked me from the first page, I love Bratva stories and arranged marriages. She's not what he thought she would be, which makes her character extremely interesting. I was waiting, knowing something was going to happen. It's an easy read with lots going on, hot sex, danger, and love.
