We are from two different worlds, but I can’t stay away. I’m investigating a shooting at a charity event that doesn’t make sense.My superiors tell me to leave it alone–It’s a closed case.But I can’t.Leaving mysteries unsolved isn’t in my nature, so I keep on digging.It all leads me to one man, Alexi Barinov, rumored Russian Mafia member.The problem is, every time I go near him, I’m a mess.He’s … is, every time I go near him, I’m a mess.
He’s dominant, rough, and sexy as hell.
He knows he gets under my skin.
I know I can’t give in to his advances.
Our lives and work clash too much.
We’re two people that should never be together, but this man is determined to win me anyway.
Bound by the Bratva is the fourth book in the Bratva Brotherhood series. It’s a safe story with no cliffhangers, a HEA and no cheating. This story has hot scenes, some dark themes, and bad language. Like most of the books by Bianca Cole it features an over the top possessive alpha male.

Not so undercover gets her under the covers with him
Bound by the Bratva is the fourth book in the Bratva Brotherhood series and is the story of Alexi Baranov and Charlotte Miller.
Alexi is part of the Russian Bratva. But he also works as the CFO for Andrei Petrov, his story is Bought by the Bratva.
Charlotte is a NYC detective after moving from a small town. She has been interested in a closed case which leads her to the Russian businessman Andrei Petrov and his club. She decides to go undercover as a NYU business student to see if she can meet him and instead is pointed towards Alexi, Andrei’s CFO she is told by the bartender. As she turns towards the VIP section where Alexi is sitting she locks eyes with the big, rough looking Russian who has already been looking at her.

But they do have a whole ton of sexual chemistry that is sparking between them so who knows where this one is going………….to the bedroom and beyond is my guess!!!
Fantastic story.
I’m loving this Bratva series by Bianca & this fourth is no exception. Charlotte & Alexi should never be together he is part of the Bratva & she is a cop trying to get them behind bars but no matter how dangerous Alexi is she can’t stay away. This has sexual chemistry, danger, lies, fear, but at the end love conquers all.

This is an entertaining, captivating, and interesting on the edge of your seat book four in the Bratva Brotherhood series! The story line is well-developed, well written, relatable, emotionally deep, and consistent. There is suspense, drama, witty banter, danger, police corruption, twists and turns, and a whole lot of more. The characters are strong and amazing; their chemistry is instant and sizzling hot. Definitely recommended!

I liked Charlotte and that she is looking into a case that doesn’t add up. I am glad that Alexei knows she is a detective early on. I liked their story and that it kept my attention throughout.

Charlotte is police officer who is looking into a case that is closed but feels there is more to discover. Her leads are leading her to Alex who is a mafia member. The characters are well developed and engaging and have plenty of chemistry. I enjoyed each turn of the page wondering where the connection will lead them.

The forbidden attraction between them was mutual, only making it burn brighter!
by sewsummore
Charlotte moved to New York to take up a position as a detective for the NYPD. Determined to make a difference, she ignores a directive from her superior to leave a closed case closed and begins to investigate a mafia murder. Unfortunately, this leads to death threats that only her mafia lover can remove. Charlotte had never been as attracted to a man as she was to Alexi. The forbidden attraction between them was mutual, only making it burn brighter. When the time comes to choose between the man she loved and working with a corrupt cop, she wanted Alexi! I found this book exciting reading, the choice Charlotte made put her in a dangerous situation that almost cost her life.

4.5 stars: Charlotte definitely bit off more than she could chew when she started looking into a closed case. On the other hand, Alexi has also gotten into more trouble than expected when he let Charlotte get close. The two are explosive and addicted to one another. The fact that their relationship is forbidden just makes it hotter.
This is the fourth book in the series and the timeline overlaps and story intertwines with the second and third books. You might be able to get away with treating this as a standalone but I wouldn’t recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Charlotte in an NYPD detective. She’s investigating a closed murder and goes to club Strelka. There she meets Alexi. He’s in the Bratva, but doesn’t trust her to tell her the truth. But he feels drawn to her and wants her to be his…forever. Love the twists and turns that happen as they both try to figure out that they are in love and how to make that happen between a criminal and a cop.
I love this series with a man who goes after his woman and the even stronger woman who meets him
This is my 2nd book in the series and was instantly taken in by the attraction between Alexi and Charlotte even though on opposite sides of the law. Charlotte is all about finding the cover up at a charity event that she believes is tied to Alexi’s boss and Alexi can not dissuade Charlotte to leave well enough alone. As the two dance around one another, it’s clear they won’t be able to avoid the magnetic pull bringing them together. But can a Bratva member and a police officer have a happily ever after? You have to read to find out and the plot twists will keep you guessing!
I have read all the Bratva books in this series. This one was just ok for me. I really like that Charlotte and Alexi had some background and history but I found that it was almost forced for me. I know Alexi really has it for Charlotte it was expected, but it did not feel like it was easy or that it was a fluid feeling to me. I thought that the last few chapters really summed it for me. I like how it turned out and glad that I could follow these two. I hope there is more in this series as their are more characters I would love to see come to light. All in all it is a great series and one that will be going on y to reread shelf.

Bianca Cole once again grabs us very quickly in the story. She has a way to telling a story that makes you want to be with the ‘bad’ guys. Her villains are always darker than our central characters (can’t call them heroes) and things that should seem scary are not really. She draws us into this dark fantasy and there’s no stopping until she’s ready to let you go.

Alexi and Charlotte are explosive from the moment they lock eyes. Their resistance to each other is futile. When her job and his lifestyle clash will they be able to make it out together? Love and loyalties can be difficult to maneuver.

Charlotte is a cop. Alexi works for the bratva. Alexi tries to protect Charlotte but she still ends up in trouble. This is an action packed book that grips you from the first page and keeps your attention to the end. The story flows smoothly.

Really enjoyed the book 4th in the series. Charlotte is a detective who doesn’t like not knowing the case hasn’t been closed. She needs answers. She tries going undercover only to be found out. Alexi a man in the Bratva. He only has eyes for her, so he does everything to protect her when she tried digging up trouble.
Charlotte fights Alexi every step of the way into she realized she really is in trouble. It co!ed down to both of them love each other and will do anything to keep each other save.

I really enjoyed Alexi and Charlotte’s story. Bound by the Bratva is mafia romance between Alexi Barinov, second in command of the Bratva, and Charlotte, NYC detective. It’s a safe story with no cliffhangers, a HEA and no cheating. This story has hot scenes, some dark themes, and bad language. It features an over the top possessive alpha male. Intriguing characters, steamy heat, drama and tension. Love how possessive and protective Alexi is of Charlotte.

There was not a single dud moment in this book! The characters are so well described they are real and draw you into the compelling story line. It was a real page turner and worth the late night/early morning to finish it. The fiery attraction between the characters is backed up by every emotion available and the book is so well written you feel them all. a really compelling story. Highly recommend.

Charlotte, a straight laced cop, finds herself in a precarious situation when investigating the underworld in New York. Alexander, Sovietnik to the Bratva Pahkan, knows that she is meant to be his when there paths cross but will he have to choose between the brotherhood and love.
The characters were well developed. The story was good. At times the storyline was muddled.
