Scarlet Thorns

Sidorov Bratva, Book 1

What happens when your masked mystery lover turns out to be a Bratva boss? And you're carrying his baby?

It all started when I broke up with my abusive ex. Driving around town, confused and heartbroken, I stumbled upon a secret club.

Velvet curtains. Hidden identities. No real-life consequences outside these walls. The perfect escape my broken heart desires.

That's when I see him. The moment he enters the room, my body ignites like never before. Dark eyes behind a thick black mask survey me hungrily. Skilled hands that know exactly how to make me shatter.

With our faces hidden, we're free. To touch. To taste. To do everything we'd never do in the real world.

Until the unthinkable happens. A test. Two pink lines. I'm pregnant with a baby that the doctors said I could never carry.

And just when I think it couldn't get worse, everything clicks into place. My masked mystery lover and the most dangerous crime lord in the city?

The. Same. Man.

Osip Sidorov, the man who makes my pulse race with just a glance. The man I can never have.

Now I'm faced with an impossible choice. Do I reveal my identity to the father of my child and let him destroy me? Or run for my life and keep my secrets buried forever?

Scarlet Thorns

Very good storyline. Fate in this story is so interesting and strange. Love the story.

Really great!

This one did start out a bit slow, but wow did it pick up toward the end! The writing is excellent, the storyline (while it did drag in the beginning it was necessary to the background) is very good, and the narrators are fantastic. There is a lot of action, and yet I feel like there should be more: more spice, more Bratva activity, more explanation/action with the intrigue with Ilona’s stalkers. There’s something lacking here. There are definitely a lot of moving parts. But, for those reasons I actually do plan on going on to the second book, because there are a lot of unanswered questions. It’s interesting enough to keep listening,
