My heart is at risk with the man I’m supposed to kill.

Bought by the Bratva is the first book in the Bratva Brotherhood Series. It’s a safe story with no cliffhangers, a HEA and no cheating. This story has hot scenes, dark themes, and bad language. Like most of the books by Bianca Cole it features an over the top possessive alpha male.

Who is the true enemy
This author knows just what we like when it comes to our Bratva stories. Those over the top alpha males, who secretly hide a soft gooey center, and their strong, sassy ladies who stand up for what they believe in. This particular lady takes commitment to a goal to an entirely new level. Thank goodness the author has her see the light before it’s too late. I really enjoyed the way this book flows and the direction the storyline goes. I found myself invested in the outcome and unable to put the book down. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Couple: Andrei and Vera
Meet: Bratva sponsored “Auction”
Problems: Bratva is usually problematic in some form. And you’re dealing with Russians. Our “hero” isn’t all he seems to be! Neither is she. Surprise!
Bianca Cole brings us Andrei and Vera. At first, you’re tempted to believe that our Bratva leader is a ruthless pig with absolutely no feelings. For show, he’s absolutely ruthless and any other words one could use to describe the Russian mafia. However, we learn almost immediately that he attends these “auctions” to purchase females for a reason. He hates them, but goes for honorable reasons. This is where Andrei finds Vera. He’s instantly attracted and wants to own her immediately. Sure, she seems as helpless as the other “girls” on auction. However, our Vera isn’t what she seems to be. If Andrei can surprise you by not being nearly as heartless as the rest of Bratva, you haven’t seen anything yet with Vera. Yes, the twist in this book is so different than anything I’ve read before in a Bratva themed book. Well done, Bianca!
Will you enjoy this book? Steamy interactions? Absolutely! Plot twists? Yes! Alpha male? Yes! Kick butt female? Yes!! This is the book for you. You won’t regret reading it!

4 1/2 Stars
Vera was determined to get revenge for her family’s death by killing the man responsible for their murder. She sacrificed three long years of her life being brutalized and groomed to be part of an underground very illegal virgin auction run by the one man responsible for all of her grief.
I liked the way the author introduced us to Andrei first, with his revealing inner dialogue and POV, I was team Andrei from the first chapter.
As his upright (for a bratva pakhan) character was revealed to Vera, her deep attraction and responses to him made a bit more sense.
Lots of sad betrayal and brutality in their past lives, with their tragedy shared by a single evil source.
Vera and Andrei’s relationship blossomed in the midst of blood, betrayal, and death.
Pretty romantic stuff for a mafia based romance.

Vera is a woman with revenge on the mind. Andrei is the target she has in mind to avenge her dead family. But everything may not be what it seems and Andrei is not how Vera was told what he would be. Andrei is a cruel and heartless man or so he outwardly appears to be. Through the development of the relationship between Vera and Andrei, Vera starts to realize that she has been played and taken advantage of. This book has a dark theme of human trafficking, which may be a trigger for some. But this book is well written and the plot is well developed in my opinion. I love a great dark romance and this one was exceptional.

This was an amazing story. Such depth with the characters. There is revenge that turns to lust and love. There is adventure, action, crime, hate, and acceptance. I have found a new author to read. I have decided not to go into much detail as I hate having a story told to me that I would rather read. You won’t be sorry if you like erotica and some D/s relationship. If you don’t, then please don’t read this as the author did a great job writing this story. Thank you Bianca Cole. Good job. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Double agents and double-crossed, so it looks like nothing is what it seems. The story will hold you to the end to unveil the truths.

What happens when everything you thought you knew was a lie? When Vera is purchased at the virgin auction she knows exactly what she must do. She needs to get revenge for the murder of her family. What she can’t reconcile though is the way Andrei makes her feel, and why is he treating her so well?Could she be wrong about everything?
This book seems to me more an enemies to lovers rather than a dark romance, there are many darker elements but there’s also a tenderness about it that lifts it into the light. The connection between Vera and Andrei rows the more time they spend together and as they actually come to trust one another, something neither thought possible. There are many twists and turns and readers will be captivated by the quick pace of the story.

Andrei and Vera have in intense connection that shouldn’t be there. He’s in control and she’s to be used, until she’s not?
Dark secrets will come to light and then the real struggle begins. Can love live in their dark Bratva world?

I thought that this was a great read and an excellent star to this new series. I loved the hot chemistry between the Andrei and Vera and the overall feeling of growing tension in this dark romance. The storyline was very engaging and held my attention easily with plenty of drama, emotional turmoil, romance, suspense and kink. I can’t wait to see what comes next in future books.
Andrei is head of Bratva in American. Vera is under the impression that he killed her family so for years she was preparing for the big day. The big day is where he is going to buy her . This was her plan. She finds out it was all a mistake. Both Vera & Andrei are both lost and need to each other. Their love brings them peace and love. Bianca did a great job!

I really enjoyed this relatively quick read by Bianca Cole. I must say, I am not normally a huge fan of dark romance, however, this one had such a tenderness mixed with the revenge factor that I was truly enthrolled throughout the entire story. I kept flying through the pages just wanting yo know what happened next. Sorry, no overview here, as I don’t want to give away even a hint of what this book entails!
You really NEED to pick up your own copy and read this one for yourself. If you are a Cole fan, or even if you have never had the pleasure, you will not be disappointed! Happy Reading!!

This was a great bratva read. Auctioned virgins, danger and suspension. Betrayal coating the revenge of a girl who’s only goal is to end the man who destroyed her family. Brilliant love hate romance with plenty of alpha possessive nature going on and feisty redhead playing by her own rules. Can’t wait to read more.
I really enjoyed this story. Andrei and Vera are wonderful characters. This story does flow well. The problem is the book needs to be edited. There is enough errors that it put me off. I gave it four stars for the story, characters, flow. I do recommend it. Just hope it gets updated.
Andrei and Vera’s story was very emotional. She has been trained for a specific purposes u til she realizes that not everything is as it appears. And Andrei is the boss of the NY Bratva but truly doesn’t not agree with its ruthless ways. It was lovely to see his softer side especially around Vera!

Dark and suspenseful Bratva
Bought by the Bratva is the first book in the new Bratva Brotherhood series by Bianca Cole and it starts off with a real bang. This is story that has some very dark themes in it so the reader does need to be prepared for that. The story is about Andrei, the head of the New York Brotherhood and Vera who is on a mission of vengeance. Their paths cross at a female slave auction where Vera is bought by Andrei. I don’t want to spoil their story at all so I am just going to say that the it is captivating with some good parts and some parts where I cringed and wanted just shout at my Kindle. Andrei and Vera are two very different characters but they are drawn to each other in ways that neither expected. They also have a lot of sexual chemistry which can really explode, especially when Andrei lets out his inner possessive and protective Alpha regarding Vera.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series to see what happens with the Bratva Brotherhood.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!
