Wished this book was longer so I could read more about Mikhail, Bianca, and Lena. Mikhail was the literal definition of "looks like he could kill you, is a cinnamon roll" (for example, he does Lena's hair and was an amazing single father before Bianca came along), but only when he's not working cause the man is in charge of torturing people. Bianca, a recently retired ballerina, had such a sweet and sunny personality in general but dealt with a shitty father that caused severe damage to her vocal cords. Bianca was also the only one that didn't run away after seeing the scars on his face (even found him handsome) and Mikhail always treated her with so much respect and gentleness. They're definitely one of my favourite couples out of the entire series.

Reread:
This is just as good as I remember.
The story revolves around Mikhail, an enforcer for the Russian Mafia, and Bianca, a woman forced into a marriage alliance with the Bratva. As they navigate their complex relationship, secrets, and forbidden desires, they find solace in each other’s arms. The book has great steamy scenes, intense emotions, and a guaranteed HEA.

Mikhail & Bianca: A Perfect, Beautifully-Romantic Bratva Marriage- 5 Stars
This is my first review of 2023 and this book was an amazing way to start my reading in the New Year!
Disfigured Bratva Enforcer, Mikhail has always had a fascination with Prima Ballerina, Bianca and has admired her from afar by attending her dance performances. Unbeknownst to him, Bianca is the daughter of an Italian Capo. Mikhail is more than happy to volunteer to marry Bianca in order to cement a merging of the Italian & Russian crime families. The pakhan is concerned with communication between Mikhail and his soon-to-be wife and that the marriage will be difficult for Mikhail due to his dilike for being touched due to PTSD. Mikhail agrees anyway to prevent another of his comrades being assigned the task.
Bianca is reluctant marry and if being forced to by her father. Howver, he forces her hand and she finds herself married to the Bratva enforcer and intriugued by him. She's determined to break through the stoic, distant demeanor of her new husband to show him how beautiful he really is despite his physical flaws. This book was sort of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. One of my favorite stories!
I don't want to give too much of the plot away but I found myself having alot of "awww" moments in this book. It was a refreshing change from the brutal enforcers that like to make their new wives cry, bully them and/or force them into sexual situations before the ink is dry on the marriage certificate. Mikhail was kind and patient with Bianca. Bianca accepted her role as his wife and I'm so glad that I didn't have to deal with the cliched "runaway bride/revenge plotting" new wife nonsense. We got to see Mikhail's soft side towards Bianca and his brutal "one cap to the dome" side as he tortured his enemies by night and kept his soft carresses and affection for Bianca. I simply loved their connection!
If you like these types of Bratva novels and want a change from the usual "brutal Bratva" nonsense. Then this is definitely the book for you!
Happy reading!

This is expected trash so it will be rated as such.
Writing and plot holes will be ignored.
Mmc is a giant teddybear and so is the fmc. They had a wholesome relationship.
The spice was not it.
We need more female friends for our fmcs in romance pleaseeee!
