To ensure her heart beats long enough to reveal the identity of my father's killer.
Her job is to revive a heart that froze a long time ago.
Gabrielle Adams is a person of considerable interest, both to me and the Russian assassin who wants to add her to his kill sheet.
I am the only one standing in his way because I must keep her alive for my own reasons.
When I met her, those reasons changed.
I wasn't expecting to like her.
To enjoy our fiery exchanges and watch the anger in her eyes turn to lust as the sparks crackled between us.
To taste forbidden pleasure with the press of my lips against hers and to feel her heart tremble as I trapped it in my shaking hands.
Sworn off relationships, I never expected to fight for us; to go to war just to see her smile.
I wasn't prepared to fall in love with a woman who is heavily involved in the mystery surrounding my father's death, and I wasn't prepared for the possessive fury that roused the protective beast in me.
Dark secrets that venture into the light can destroy even the most powerful men.
I will not allow that man to be me.
A deliciously steamy, dark, and suspenseful forced proximity romance.
Arman is my kind of man. Strong, quiet, intelligent, a little moody. Just my luck he saw Ellie first. 😉
This book ticks all the boxes, Stella writes wonderful stories, this is a continuation of the series (book 4, I believe ), and they just keep getting better. Lots of steam, tension, mystery, and puzzles to solve. Many Romanov brothers to meet, and a sister whose story is next. Just brilliant Ms Andrews, more soon please.
I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review
The Romanovs saga continues - Arman is now on the search to find who killed their father. The search finds him kidnapping Ellie because she is connected somehow. She is a beautiful woman that is fierce, intelligent and fun to talk with. Arman doesn’t do relationships but finds himself starting to develop feelings for Ellie. I loved the moment when Arman realizes she was it for him - his Queen. This story has the secrets, parties, twisted plots and not to mention the oh so super spicy scenes between Ellie and Arman. I throughly enjoyed reading this book.
Tangled Roses is the third installment in The Romanovs Series of interconnected standalones regarding the couples, but with an ongoing plot. As so, I would suggest to start with book #1, Burning Roses and go from there for a better understanding of the intrigue, architecture of liasons and the course already run to get the ultimate answer to who killed the Romanov Patriarch.
Arman Romanov is on a mission in US soil to get to Gabrielle Adams before anyone else, to protect an asset and take as much advantage of Marsha Steele's daughter. By now, we already gathered that the mystery surrounding Andrei Romanov's death is deeply connected to Burning Roses and The Rose Fundation as well, but what really made for the demise of such a powerful man and his mistress is still incognito. The Family is working hard to get to the truth, but too many dead ends and as much silence, by fear or something bigger to cover, make for a rather unsurmountable effort, time and frustration.
Gabrielle Adams is a simple girl from Idaho, now an orphan after her grandmother's passing, that came to NYC to escape the memories and longing for the only woman who made her feel loved, cherished and cared for, now jobless with an indecent proposal as resignment letter. Lost, furious with no prospects is accosted on the sidewalk and wakes up in a strange, luxurious although sterile place, a fortress in white, beautiful, enigmatic and cold, just like its owner, Arman Romanov.
Gabrielle (Ellie) and Arman are great together, as partners of investigation first, as a couple later. I loved how entwined they were with each other, although not trusting too much, specially Ellie, made them go head to head more than it was supposed to. Ellie knew her origins, her mother at least, but there was no love lost for the woman who birthed her and tossed her to her grandmother on the spot, she understood Arman's predicament and was invited to willingly help. She might want to uncover the mystery as much as Arman, now that she was in for the ride, but his ways of achieving were unorthodox and got on her nerves, made her mad and somewhat disrespected. Arman was the businessman of the Romanov Family. He knew how to play the game fair and square, he just needed a behaving Ellie. He knew what to expect, but with Ellie, not so sure.
This is an opposites attract, forced proximity troupe that I absolutely loved and what warmed up inside was to see Arman, a man used to everybody doing his bidding, always one step ahead, being completly floored by Ellie, her antics and charisma, her unpredictability. Nothing he was used to, his steps were planed and measured and Ellie was....a wild flower, with vulberabilities and stenghts, a woman he wanted to protect for the sake of the search and for his as well. It didn't help that she was beautiful and nothing like the other woman he had ever met. The sentiment was reciprocal. Ellie saw and felt Arman's power and reach, a man out of her league, one she wanted to provoke a tiny bit, tease and watch what made him tic. And watch she did. A bit reluctant at first, but with jealousy and contempt burning in her veins, she jumped on stage and Arman, as the charitable person he was, paid one million, dragged Ellie out of there to his penthouse, because it was time for a lesson in 🥵🥵claiming🥵🥵 and assert ownership!
The narrative flows steady, direct and energetically to the pace of back and forths, actions and reactions, internal conflicts, new discoveries, some answers and even more questions, fatal events and the trip back to Russia. With a slew of well placed secondary characters (Luka🔥🔥🔥), the rest of the family and a snipet to the next fase of the mission, the story puts another Romanov out of the market, for love, devotion and protection as all the others had done.
The Romanov men are ruthless when defending the family and the ones they love and as it seems, Ana Romanov is her brothers's sister after all, if not even more cunning. The bothers said and I believe it! I'm completly devoted to the Romanovs and their search for the truth!
The Romanoff series is one of a very powerful family that is one of the riches families in the world, but also plays in the dark.
Artem is the stoic brother that is all business with little time for anything else until he is ordered to find and protect Elle, the estranged daughter of Marsha, a key player in the Burning Roses organization. He is smart, classy and good looking with a calculating mind that is always planning his next move. Elle is beautiful feisty and smart and is his perfect match in this story. Artem and Elle's story adds another layer to this series that has been well executed considering the number of people and events that this book alone addressed. Each story to date has been well paced as secrets are unveiled while more are added to the mix.
Elle and Arman's story answers many questions but adds more mystery and suspense to the life and death of Arman's father and the Burning Roses Organization. The original four women (one being Arman's mother) as well as the men they met while attending school in Switzerland is at the forefront of the mysterious series of deaths that continue in book three. The men that the women met while attending the Two Points school in Switzerland include many international heads of state/criminal organizations as well as one currently running for President in the US. All have allot to lose should secrets come out. Marsha, Elle's mother is killed by a hitman in this book bringing the head count to three unsolved deaths in a matter of months.
Artem is a business only man that never felt the need to have a lasting relationship with any woman. He is not prepared for his attraction to Elle both physically and emotionally until he kidnaps her to find out about her mother Marsha and the Burning Roses. He has no idea she never met her mother since she is brought up by her grandmother.
Marsha is one of the original women that is at the source of the mystery that attended school at Two Points/Switzerland that may have answers to Artem's father's death. Elle is the result of a one-night stand with one of the men Marsha met while attending Two Points. Elle never knew Marsha or her biological father who is now reportedly looking for her and who is very dangerous. The story has great sex and a beautiful love story between two people who would have never met except for the dire circumstances now facing them. Artem and Elle's attraction is slow burn until it evolves into a great love story.
I am really looking forward to Ana and Jame's story.
Captivating continuation to the Romanovs, the murderer of their father and Gabrielle Adams an unknown entity Gabrielle “Elle” is kidnapped off the street after being fired from her position as a hotel receptionist and then had been offered the position with another company, by her boss who had refused to keep her on after the trial period was up even though no reason was given. He did however offer her a kind for a position with another employer that hired women to entertain men for their money, she had told him exactly what to do with his offer and had left wither her head held high only to be kidnapped from the street as she made her way to her bedsit. Arman had waited to speak with Ellie and had expressed most diligently why he had taken her and why he was keeping her safe within the walls of one of his many homes until the assassin he believed had been hired to kill her had been stopped and captured or killed. As Arman and Ellie continue on their search to discover who the person is responsible for the poisoning of his father, his Pakhaan who is his eldest brother is most definitely determined to see that the perpetrators are brought to pay for the pain caused to the Romanov family. Amidst all of these wonderful discussions it was simply wonderful to see that the Romanov family have come together stronger than ever to see that his father’s murderer is brought to justice and now that they are aware of the involvement of the Burning Roses, they are determined to discover how they are in involved with the death of Armans family. I guarantee that you will love this wonderful read and I guarantee that you will be like me left waiting enthusiastically for the next book in this simply wonderful series. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Arman and Ellie. Shes at work and he three month probation is up and her creepy boss says she is no longer needed and she needs this job asking any other positions. No just leave .. unless. She asks unless what Mr Reese. He has a friend a Michelle Jackson who is always looking for women like you. Well Well Well dont we just know where this going. She wont let him see her cry and leaves. The receptionist see her and tells her she was too good looking and Mr Reese does this to all the good looking girls .. sending them to a woman he gets a cut from. You throw that card away and meet me at the Excelsier club and I'll make some calls to my contacts. As shes walking home with ear buds she should have paid more attention when shes shoved into a man and something is put on her face and then nothing. Hes kidnapped her the job thrust upon him .. its just business. Families / Investors are pulling out after his fathers assasination. They trusted him and for them to trust you, you must join the club and bring an escort. He knows what goes on in this club and his father only took one escort and he said he didnt share and left before the debaucery started and he will follow in his fathers footsteps to gain their trust. When Arman finally sees his captive he tells her she was taken for her own safety. Her mother, whom she despises, may know more about the death of his father and has lead them to her. WOW what a tangled web that has been weaved. So many players. So much distrust. Betrayl, secrets, lies, assasinations, dark emotions, not knowing who to trust and once these two stop trying to deny their feelings and work together the better off they will be. Could not put this book down just keep turning pages to see what happenes and on to the next chapter to see what happens.

The series continues with further digging and investigating the death of Mikhail Romanov with the stunning, smoking hot, and cunning businessman Arman Romanov. Well in his investigating and continuing to work on his business sides of the family business he finds a source that brings him closer to Marsha Steele and that is her hidden and long-lost daughter Gabrielle (Ellie) Adams. At first, he was hesitant about what she knew and didn't know, as he comes to learn she has no insight into anything related to her mother and her mother's past. They both try to hold their emotions to themselves being they are both independent and don't have the best experiences with showing love and expressing love. As they work together to solve the mystery of who killed Mikhail, they come close to finding an answer but seem to have the one step forward to moving three steps behind scenario. Ellie and Arman do fall in love and when she meets his family turmoil ensues including her father who she never knew who he was or why he did not find her sooner; finally coming into the picture and Arman's mother learns of her former husband’s second life he kept hidden from her. As the book comes to an end, we still do not know who the killer is, and the suspense is killing me. Thanks for another great story and series to read.

The Romanov's continue to try and untangle the mysteries behind their Father's death and the Burning Roses club, that seems to hold the answers they are looking for. Arman has been tasked with finding and protecting Ellie, she has inadvertently found herself mixed up with the dangers that surround the club and may have answers the Romanov family so badly need. Arman is floored by this brave, sassy, intelligent woman and they find themselves drawn together by the tragedies that have driven their lives. Arman is now in full protection mode as the story tells two stories side by side while taking us on a journey with so many twists and turns, you will want to read it in one sitting, as I did. Arman and Ellie will set your pages on fire, they are so hot together. This has been such a great series. Each book has brought us closer to the answers, while at the same time throwing up more questions. I can't wait to find where Stella takes us next, with hopefully Arman's sister Ana, can she finally put the mystery surrounding her Father's death to bed. If you have the chance go back and read the other books in this series and meet Arman's family and the women who brought his Brothers to their knees.
You know, I usually dislike a series. I know, I know, no rule without the exception, but I really didn’t expect to find an exception because as I in general dislike series I particularly hate cliff hangers. Why am I telling you this tedious bit of info about myself? Because this series works! Stella has somehow found a way to engage me. Not in a duet or even a trilogy but in an ongoing series about the Romanov empire/mafia. The trick is, she finishes each love story in each book. However the mystery of origins, deaths and intrigue is ongoing and only bits and pieces are revealed in each book. It works so well. The story is fast paced and exciting and the love stories get better and better. Armand and Ellie - oh swoon. Love at first sight but they fight it so hard. They have little twist and turns in their courtship along with one huge one, but no third act breakup which oftentimes get to be too much. They simply belong together and once they figure it out they truly stand together. I honestly can’t wait for the next book about this family - Ana’s story.

An intriguing book where the mystery surrounding:Burning Roses” deepens, for every answer throws up yet another question. Such an amazing in depth series, still scratching my head trying to work it out. This book feature Arman Romanov and Marsha Stella’s daughter Ellie. They are from vastly different worlds but can’t resist that magnetic pull between them. Whenever the Romanovs start investigating their father’s death they end up with far more than they bargained for. Arman is such a rational man, all business and no pleasure unless scheduled in his diary so his attraction to Ellie really throws him a curveball, love al, the fireworks between them. Such red hot attraction that can’t be denied and such spicy scenes. Loved this book but feel we’re no further forward in unraveling the mystery of why their father was killed. Hopefully we’ll know more in the next book as the protagonists are narrowed down. Another action and thought provoking book in this wonderful series.
Tangled Roses is the third book in this series and you will love it. I would say this book is a little different than book one or two. There isn´t so much drama and anxious. But I don´t mind it at all. ;)
Arman and Ellie understand each other. They fear together. They work together to get light in the mistery. They trust each other. They belong together. They are soulmates. I love how tenderly Arman is beside his possessiveness and his obsession. And I laughed about the sassiness of Ellie when she talked back at him. He didn´t see this coming and of course he wasn´t used to this. ;)
These book is my favorite of the Romanovs so far. Can´t wait for Ana´s story.
You can read it as a standalone but I would recommend to start with the first book of this series bcs characters and story are entwined.

The mystery of the Burning Roses continues and you start to get some answers in this book. Ellie gets sacked & kidnapped within minutes of each other & never expects her life to be changed irreversibly when she’s thrust into the Romanov’s world she certainly didn’t expect to meet someone like Arman. As she starts a rollercoaster of emotions & mystery could she be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Burning Roses either way Arman will be by her side every step of the way. The storylines of the series just keep getting better & better. You will be as gripped to this series as I am guaranteed.

Can't get enough Well must go Fallen Rose's is waiting to be read Love your work Stella Tray x
This is the third book in this series about the Romanov's a powerful russian family looking for answers about their fathers death. The closer they get the more twisted the revelations of deceit and depravity. Arman has Ellie detained for her own good but realizes real quick there is more to her and becomes obsessed with her and her happiness. I love how much of a spitfire Ellie is and really puts Arman in his place. This book is fast paced and had me wanting so much more of these two and their intense chemistry and very spicy times. I can't wait to see how this unravels.

Arman is in New York still trying to uncover who murdered his father. Working with his brothers they know they need to investigate Burning Roses, a high end escort agency providing wealthy and powerful men with sordid entertainment. They also need to protect the daughter of the woman that runs the organisation, Ellie, so they abduct her. However, Arman isn't used to anyone disobeying his orders, especially a woman. He also fails to understand why he finds Ellie so irresistible. As they both work together to try and find answers, more questions arise.

I really enjoyed Tangled roses. It is interesting how the writer is tying this mystery story to romance in each if the books in the series. Each brothers love interest is tied in some way to their father's mysterious murder. It keeps getting more interesting. Arman and Ellie story took it a bit deeper into the mystery with Ellie's mother being at the heart of this fantastic puzzling maze. In the midst of it all Arman found his true love in Ellie. Caught of guard with his feelings, he finally realized she is what completes him. Great fantasy love story. I look forward to reading books 4 and 5.
Wow Arman and Gabrielle aka Ellie what a whirlwind of a story. Just when you thought you were going to get the answers Stella pulled the plot twist Aces out the bag!!
Well not one but two plot twists this is one roller coaster of a book series and I'm absolutely loving it.
So much so that I devoured it in literally 2 reading sessions another book I didn't want to put down.
My mind was whirling like a Sherlock Holmes detective, trying to work out the twisting plot on who killed the head of the Romanov family and why.
The Romanov's are still trying to uncover who killed their father. This book does answer some of my questions, but there is still some left. I have absolutely loved this series so far and I am really looking forward to all the mysteries being answered and it has been so great being reading this emotional rollercoaster of a story Arman and Ellie are central to this book, as Arman tries to keep Ellie safe. If like me, you crave spicy, this book definitely has that in spades.

This is the third book in the series and Romanov is the third brother to fall in love while searching for his father's murderer. Ellie is the daughter of a woman who ran an escort service that offered services to rich business men. Ellie did not grow up knowing her or anything about her business and was more in the dark than Arman. He needed to keep her safe because she may have been useful. All the Romanov men seem emotionally stunted initially. I think Ellie is funny and doesn't seem inclined to tolerate his attitude. The ending felt abrupt to me but I look forward to the next book.
Arman & Ellie. Piecing together more information on who killed the Romanov patriarch leads Arman to kidnap Ellie. Unbeknownst to her she's a key figure in the Burning Roses owners. Murder, long buried secrets, & love round out this installment of the series which still has burning questions not answered and Ana Romanov going undercover in the next book to infiltrate the Roses Foundation. The Romanov men are dropping like flies finding love in unexpected women who bring them to their knees. A good series even though the lingo is different (author is from U.K.)
Loved Arman and Ellie, Arman wrapped up in business trying to work through his grief and get answers, Ellie being a pawn due to who gave birth to her and each one able to understand the hurt and pain in each other’s lives,but boy didn’t see who her father was a great twist to her story , and now only two of the. Original women are still alive highly recommend this series of books.

Tangled Roses swept me off my feet and had me all caught up in Arman and Ellie. He is in search of who killed his father and in doing so connects with Ellie and it starts them along one adventurous journey. This action-packed drama is filled with thrilling twists and turns that had me connecting with these two as I cheered them along their way!.

This is the story of Ellie and Arman and what a fabulous book.
The storyline has lots of twists and turns and just when you think you may have figured everything out and it’s plain sailing, something else happens.
The ending ???? Is it even that, is great and the epilogue introducing Ana and James, A maz ing !!!! I most definitely can’t wait for it to be released.
Stella you certainly have done it again - you’re a star.
She might have information that I need. Arman tries to fight his attraction to Ellie. Arman is from a world that Ellie has no idea how to function in. Arman is surprised at how strong Ellie is. He slowly falls in love with her, he doesn’t think this could ever happen to him. I really enjoyed this story. I could not put it down. I can’t wait to read Ann’s story.
Arman and Ellie bring on the heat and heart as their story unfolds. The chemistry between these two is off the charts, so be ready to feel the burn! I thought this story was powerfully engaging and once I started it, I did not want to put it down because the blend of tension, drama, twists and action was utterly captivating.
Absolutely loved this book! It's now arman's chance in line to get information on how the father was killed and the burning rose. Ellie finds out her life is in danger and it's arman who is the to protect her but will feelings develop between them in the end? Can ellie thaw his cold heart?.

The Romanovs book 3. High drama, extra angsty, action filled, sexy and gut wrenching twists. No spoilers from me. The Romanovs are searching for their father's killer. Each day they get closer and yet so many more unanswered questions. This is Arman and Elle story. It's everything you need for an awesome movie.
Who Wants Her Dead? Ellie wakes in an all white room in an all white mansion. The only color comes from him, Arman. He needs her help to find his father’s killer and says he’ll keep her safe from an assassin. But who will keep her safe from him?
