Okay hear me out....
This book was great. I loved it from the start. It was clearly well written and paid attention to every single detail even vaguely mentioned.
I loved how the FMC was someone who had a disability and how it was introduced to the reader as well as the MMC (the latter who didn't give a damn)
The plot was centered around the arranged marriage trope and had "touch her and die" vibes to it with a healthily possessive MMC. I likes how much he was respectful to her and caring.
Now comes several reason as to why I rated this 3 stars.
1. The story moved waayy to fast for my liking.
2. There was no proper ending to the story and i felt the ending could have saved the whole story had it been more thorough.
3. Not everything ties up in the story. There are so many things left out from giving our MMC and FMC a happy ending.
All in all.... after i finished this book... i stared at the ceiling for a good 45 minutes trying and failing to comprehend that the book ended.

"You touch my wife again, in any way, I cut off your hand. I hear you speak badly about her, I cut out your tongue. You dare to even think about hitting her ever again, I cut off your head."
Broken Whispers is a Mafia Romance featuring a hot yet sweet romance between two individuals that couldn't be more different.
In an attempt to make peace between the Russian and the Italian Mafias, they agreed upon a marriage agreement— the Italian Capi will offer a bride for a groom from the Russian Bratva.
21-year-old Bianca Scardoni was a professional Ballerina but had to put her future aside to protect her sister from her father's scheming, and she reluctantly agrees to marry a member of the Bratva, who she expects to be nothing more than a cold-blooded killer... but Mikhail Orlov is nothing like how she imagined.
And a beautiful love story blossomed.
Tropes:
— Arranged Marriage
— Ballerina x Mafia Torturer
— Age-gap (21 x 31)
— Forced Proximity
— Single Dad
— Possessive MMC and soft for her and his girl only
— Sign Language (FMC has speech disorder)
— Spice (3/5)
It's not heavy with the plot but it does have a decent story, but I was here for the romance mainly and it served.
Bianca and Mikhail's love was so soft and tender, they can be dirty when need to be but their romance melted my heart because they were so sweet to each other.
Mikhail's daughter, Lena, was a star of her own show and she was so freaking adorable!
This is a perfect light read if you're in the mood for a spicy arranged marriage romance.
Content warnings: book includes graphic violence, PTSD, torture, recollection of r*pe (brief - not FMC), death.

This is the second book in this series and I loved this one just as much, if not more than the first.
A “broken” Bianca, an accomplished Ballerina, and Mikhail, a “damaged” “butcher” for his Bratva come together to merge two warring families and to save Bianca’s sister. What started as an arranged (and forced, in a sense) marriage turns into a dark, twisted love story filled with romance and a few misunderstandings, some secrets that are slowly revealed, and pasts that these two damaged people must come to terms with. And you can’t forget the adorable Lena (Mikhail’s daughter and, until Bianca, the only person whose physical touch he can withstand). She completes this family and brings light to an otherwise darker tale.
I absolutely loved this story and would recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of Mafia romances, tortured heroes/heroines, and love. This story made me tear up, laugh, and root for a HEA for well-deserving characters.
