ARC read review! 

Another 5 star read from Sonja Grey!

Katya and Vitally’s story begins with us meeting Katya, a shy and broken shell of a person, who has had to watch as her older brothers/guardians Konstantine and Osip ran a human trafficking ring right in front of her. She is invisible to them unless they are putting her down or if they can use her for something and that’s exactly how her story begins. Konstantine informs Katya that she will be marrying one of the Melnikov brothers, in order to form an alliance. 

Katya thinks she is being sold to a horrible man like her brothers, but little does she know that Vitally would be the one to help her break down the walls she has formed around herself and helps her heal from her past trauma. 

Vitally and his brothers, formed the Melnikov bratva when Romans sister Alina was taken and sold into human trafficking 2 years ago. 
Unbeknownst to Konstantine, the Melnikov brothers have been infiltrating their organization in order to bring them down and find Alina.

Each book gets them one step closer to finding her and taking them down once and for all.


This book was so good, Sonja always does such a fantastic job of covering such dark and heavy subject matter while also providing comedic relief that makes you literally laugh out loud. 

Vitally uses humor to help everyone around him cope with the stress and so his one liners were just fantastic. I also love all the scenes with the brothers and their pregnant wives who absolutely own their husbands. 

I could go on and on about the things I loved but I will just end with this, read this series! You will
Not be disappointed!!
