When\r\nLottie\u002fCharlotte is captured to be used against her father Demon the leader of the Evil Savages MC the Bratva realise they have made a grave error. They have taken the wrong daughter. Instead of the clubs princess Charlotte's sister Cassie, Charlotte was captured and held much to the delight of her despicable father. At nineteen Charlotte has been through so much, hurt, loss and fear some people wouldn't of made it as far as she had. Even though older than her years and still fearful she was a lot stronger than even she realised. She had a kindness and an ability to love that hadn't been crushed. No one seemed to notice until Ivan Volkov saw it within her. When Ive's boss Ivan decided he needed him to marry, Ive didn't question it, he didn't want it but still went ahead. At forty years old he had no intention of marrying anyone with his own past he was happy with his life and his place within the Bratva but no one questions Ivan's word. I enjoyed seeing another side to Ive, we still got the bratva brigadier, torturer but we also got to see a whole other side that he reserved just for Charlotte and it was everything i was hoping for and more. This is a well written age gap romance filled with Bratva style wars and action, circumstances that are answered by torture and violence but also show a hero and heroine who are both learning to trust one another and trying to find a way to make their situation and blossoming relationship work. They have fears naturally but their chemistry and connection is undeniable, they allow themselves to become closer and then the heat really turns up. I really enjoyed how they grew closer with a little help from Ivan who meddles in the best of ways, he really needs to open a matchmaking service up if he ever fancies a career change, he has a gift no doubt! It was nice briefly seeing previous matched couples return, The beast and The Butcher are another intriguing duo I can't wait to learn more about either and both of them, there are also still more brigadiers to be matched up and so much still to look forward to. I can't wait! Happy Reading. \r\nPlease note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.\r\n5 out of 5 stars.

This book is amazing, just like the first two were. Ive was so not what I expected and Charlotte broke my heart. They were so great together in every way. I questioned Ivan pairing them but as usual he was one hundred percent correct. Theirs is no instalove. Instead we get to enjoy watching them get to know each other and build a relationship as they fall in love. Ivan claims Ive is the least romantic of his men but I think in many ways their love story is the most romantic of all. \r\n\r\nAs usual Ivan stole every scene he was in. I am so in love with this man I can’t stand it! He’s incredible, the most interesting and fascinating character Sam has ever written about. We got to see a completely different side to him in this book. He really connected with Charlotte and I loved watching him play with her. We know based on info provided throughout the three books that Ivan grew up without love or a real family, broken, unwanted and discarded as if he was nothing. I think despite how he overcame it all, it still is a part of him and that’s why it’s so important to him that his men find the very things he never had: love, family and happiness. The Beast commented that many believe Ivan has a thing for the unwanted. It’s clearly true. His men all came from dreadful pasts and he finds broken, unwanted women with hearts of gold for each of them. He’s an extraordinarily perceptive matchmaker, too, knowing exactly who is perfect for who. This is demonstrated most clearly in this book. No one else would have been able to reach Charlotte and bring her out. And no one but Charlotte could have ever found the heart Ive had buried so deep. Such a violent man and yet he was unwavering in his protective, calm patience with her.\r\n\r\nUnlike past books this one takes place spread out over three years. I think it’s because of the plots of future other books. And while it could be read as a standalone, my advice is to start with the first book, Second Best, or, at the very least, book two, A Sense of Duty. There is a lot of set up in the second book for this one and you don’t want to miss it. I can’t wait to see what’s next!","date":"29th Oct 2023"},{"name":"Diana A","rating":"5","title":"Wow!!","text":"This story was really good. I suffer with the first page but love reading the rest.

Like all the other women (from previous books), Charlotte has not had a good life with her family. Her father, the President of the MC, hated her and used her as a slave and a beating post. Charlotte survived so much abuse and lived under her father's thumb that she basically never lived a normal childhood or teenage life. \r\nWhile Ivan has befriended all his brigadier's wives, I feel the relationship he developed with Charlotte was so much more meaningful for both of them. The relationship between Ive and Charlotte I feel develops at a perfect pace, especially given that Charlotte does not know anything about relationships and doesn't trust anyone. So I feel the pace gave her and Ive the chance to build a friendship\u002frelationship that was comfortable, in my opinion to read rather than having them jump right into things.","date":"29th Oct 2023"},{"name":"KMH","rating":"5","title":"More!","text":"This series is so good!

This book has it all action, suspense, heat and angst. The characters were complex and had such beautiful chemistry together. I love all the characters in these books.

Wow, I was absolutely astounded when I read this book, the story was exhilarating and the characters were captivating.

He certainly didn’t want to marry her but you do what Ivan says. His cruelty towards Lottie really upset me from the start. When you start reading the story it just breaks your heart to read about how she was and is treated. And the humiliation and shame she is put through made me cry. I have to say, I had thoughts like hers in my darkest times. It was not a place to be. You also have to give it to Ivan. He knows what his men need and he always has a plan for their happiness.

(Second Best and A Sense of Duty are Book 1 and 2 respectively. It is not required to read these two books first, as Sam provides backstory & recapping some events in Book 3.

Ivan tells his brigadier Ive Yahontov he must marry the young woman Charlotte they kidnapped from the Evil Savages MC. \r\n\r\nIve is a loyal brigadier and will marry Charlotte, despite not wanting anything to do with marriage.

It had been a while since I read the last story in the series so I had forgotten what had happened previously. Despite that I was pulled into Ive and Charlotte's story fairly quickly. I liked Charlotte's character, she was fiesty and kind despite the horrible upbringing she had. I love love love how Ivan gets involved in their relationship and love how he treats her. It's not Ivan's story but I can't help but love to read about him when he shows up in the story. There is some violence and action that was perfect, but parts were hard to read. Be warned that there is violence against women depicted in the story. There is also a perfect amount of humor through the story.

Gun fights, torture, cooking lessons and steamy first times as newly weds are all here in this action-packed romance.\r\n\r\nCharlotte was in a prickly situation.\r\nShe is the new bride of a deadly man. This was not by choice. When her horrid father - not that he ever really was one to her - did some naughty things, she was left at the mercy of one man who ruled the underworld. Instead of killing her - or worse - he married her off to one of his most trusted brigades.\r\nIve was not liking this marriage. He had not time or care, however, his boss is making it his job to not only make the marriage work...but actually like and get to know his wife.\r\nLittle did he know what was in store for him.\r\n\r\nI have to say, out of all the books so far, for me this was the sweetest and got the most giggles out of me. I felt sorry for Charlotte and all she had to endure in her youth at the hands of her father, when no one else stood up for her. They either looked at her in mockery, pity or indifference. Except of her husband - eventually - and his boss. Ive has known a thing or two about terrible fathers, and how they can treat their wives. He promises he will never be like that, and can see that Charlotte deserves the world.\r\nIvan is an absolute giggle in this one! He is more actively participating in this marriage as he connects with Charlotte and pushes Ive's buttons. One particualy discussion had me cracking up! Plus, the cooking this book sounds amazing and had me salivating!","date":"4th Jul 2023"},{"name":"Makeen","rating":"5","title":"The Mistake Book 3 of Volkov Bratva","text":"Sam Crescent’s 3 rd book in the Volkov series is ‘The Mistake’.

Ive is Ivan’s brigadier, he has kept her in a cage while deciding what to do with her. \r\n\r\nA very poignant, powerful, and tragic story with a masterfully executed narrative, dialogue, and plot that develops these characters and makes them humanly real. There’s constant threats of danger, learning about themselves, and a growing awareness of each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and desires.
