Born into Temptation

Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy, Book 4

By: Sonja Grey

Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

There's never been a time when I haven't been in love with Yelena Melnikov.

Valentin

She was a temptation that I was powerless to resist. I gave her my heart when we were kids, knowing we'd have to hide our love. We hid it for years until one night of careless passion led to a pregnancy.

For me, this changes nothing. Yelena as my wife, Yelena as the mother of my children… that was always the plan.

I thought telling our family would be the hardest part. I've never been more wrong in my life.

Yelena

Val has always had my heart. I thought telling our family would be the hardest thing we'd ever have to go through.

I was wrong. What we're about to face is so much worse.

All I ever wanted was Valentin Melnikov as my husband and a houseful of kids, but now someone is threatening to take all that away from us, and I'm not sure we're going to survive it.

This is a very steamy dark mafia romance with some humor mixed in! This is the fourth book in the Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy series of interconnected standalones. No cheating, no OW drama, and an HEA are always guaranteed! For mature listeners.

the characters

I enjoyed the whole series. I love how all the characters interact with each other.

plot

great story can't wait for the next vook to be recorded. the voice actors do a great job

Hallmark-y steam

This is a 13 hour book, and the first 9 hours are syrupy sweet Hallmark, plus lots of steam. Love the steam, but actual Bratva story line with a little angst only appears the last quarter of the book.

Love love love this series

Can't wait to the next book's. Come out already pre-ordered.
Highly recommended lots of steamy scenes

My favorite Bratva

I don’t know if it was because this was my first Bratva romance book, but I love this family. I love the writing. It brings humor and romance, never dull moment.
