All I want is a shot at my happily ever after with the Russian New York Cop I’ve been idolizing since my teens. I know I can make him fall for … my teens. I know I can make him fall for me.
Things aren’t quite the way I remember them, and it’s a different kind of world I end up tangled in. Ivan’s not who I thought he was, but does that matter when I’m already too far gone to care? How deep am I prepared to go for the older man of my dreams?
Ivan
I came to Brooklyn to work for the Bratva over a decade ago. Becoming a cop was part of the deal, but my loyalty has always been to Russia alone. Until Becca storms back into my life and upends everything.
Keeping my best friend’s daughter out of trouble turns into a priority as soon as I see her again. With things heating up as the Ukranians vie for more control of Brighton Beach, and a new boss circling on the horizon, playing Good Cop is easier said than done.
Becca’s the only woman who could ever steal my heart, but convincing her father to let me keep it is going to be another matter. Could she forgive me for solving my problems the Russian way, and can she ever see herself as a Bratva bride? Going head to head with her dad to make her mine might end up being one move too far. Will I risk losing it all to keep her, or is there another way?

Becca has always lusted after her father’s friend and when she comes back to New York she is determined to make him hers. Ivan is a cop and involved in the Russian Mafia but he also has a strong deep attraction to his friend’s daughter. Things begin to heat up as they become closer.
The characters are so filled with personality and you can’t help but root for them as they try to deal with the sexual energy bet seen them. Steamy scenes add to the storyline. Action, danger and suspense help to complete the story. This is another one of Flora’s great hot romances.

Becca has always thought that her dad’s best friend, Ivan, was meant to be hers. When the offer of helping taking care of Ivan’s mother comes up, she is excited to show Ivan that she is a grown woman
Ivan remembers his best friend’s daughter being the shy little girl with braces. When she shows up as the beautiful woman, all grown up to help take care of his Momma – he just knows that she will be his. But will she accept both of his sides, the cop and the Bratva?
Flora’s first book in her Russian Underworld series flows perfectly and doesn’t feel rushed at all. There is action, romance and plenty of steam. I can’t wait to read her next book in this series
** spoiler alert ** Becca knows what she wants and is determined to get it. One look and Ivan knows she has to be his. He’s her father’s best friend. Will Becca accept who Ivan really is? Will Ivan be able to keep the girl and his friend?
Steamy, instant connection. I loved how Ivan was determined to do what he could to protect those he loved. I loved how Becca just rolled with the punches and she didn’t sit back and be the “little woman”. Good read!
This book is so hot. As in all of Ms. Ferrari’s books, this one is super sexy. It starts off as Becca comes to live with Ivan’s ailing mom to help and working at a local clinic as a nurse. Becca’s long time crush is also her dad’s friend and older. Ivan isn’t all he appears and Becca soon finds out. The sexual tension is too much for either of them and they are consumed in their passion. There is danger and resolution for both these characters.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Becca finished her pre med schooling and was going to live with Ivans mother to look after her before she starts at the clinic. Ivan came from Russia and he became a cop while working for the Bratva. Ivan and Becca have good chemistry and it is a page Turner.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

This is the story of Becca. She has been in love with her father’s friend for as long as she can remember and she even loves everything about Russian food and culture. When she moves in with Ivan’s mother while working at a local clinic, she has no idea that this is the opportunity that she has been waiting for. She finds out that not only does Ivan desire her but he also has feelings for her. Dreams are thrown for a loop when she realizes that Ivan is so much more than a cop in Brighton Beach. Does she love him enough to love the whole man and not just her fantasy? The characters are strong, determined and they fight for what they believe in. The storyline is full of suspense, intrigue, twists and turns, and lots of passion. Overall great read!

Bratva love affair!
by sewsummore
This was a story that began many years ago in Russia when a teenager came to America with his mother. Ivan was there on a mission for the bratva and years later he was the man responsible for ensuring things there were handled in the bratva way. He had made friends with his english teacher and was now able to repay the help he had been given. The daughter was coming back to Brooklyn and would be staying with his mother. Becca had been infatuated with him as a teenager but now as an adult she wanted to make her dreams come true. Ivan did not recognise the young woman when he first saw her and his x-rated thoughts made him uncomfitable. When they spent time together they knew this would raise eyebrows but they were in love. This was a story that gladden the heart, Ivan had not had time for a relationship in the past but this time he made time. Becca was a young woman who knew what she wanted and was determined to have Ivan for her own. Their love was strong and she accepted him for who he was, she supported him and loved him. This story was not without it’s dangers, there was unrest in the Brooklyn underworld and it was Ivan’s job to make it disappear. This was an enjoyable story with a happy ending that surprised me.

Once again Flora Ferrari has written a story that draws you in and keeps you engaged to the last page This is the start of a new series for her and like her previous books it is a tale of instalove and lust.

Ivan picks up Becca after she gets to Brighton Beach, NY. Becca has been in love with Ivan her whole life and she’s just been waiting for him to notice. He definitely did. The characters were awesome. There were some really great back up with the other characters in this book. There was plenty of action, drama, adventure, and Mama, she was a great addition. There was laughter and most of all love. I really have to say that Flora Ferrari has become one of my go to authors whenever I see one of her books.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Becca and Ivan Kovalenko. From the moment she first saw Ivan she knew he was the man she wanted. When he use to come every week to her house so her father could teach him english she would sit up just to listen to them. Now that she is all grown up she sees an ad that gives her the chance to be close to him again. Ivan is looking for a child like he last saw her. Not the woman he knows is meant to be his forever. There are people that would use that against him though. Through and through he would do anything for the bravta including becoming a cop. This gives him the chance to keep an eye on things without getting caught doing others. Will these two find that HEA or will outside forces make sure that never happens?
This is another hit out of the park for this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Becca has always had a crush on Ivan for awhile so when she could get a job in the place he lives she goes for it. Becca is recently out of school and going to be working at a clinic while she lives with his mother. Things seemed to be going well until she noticed his mother acting funny. Ivan is working with the police and the Mafia while trying to figure out who is behind the phone ring that almost got Becca’s phone. Ivan knows from the moment he sees Becca all grown up that she is meant to be his. However when Becca and his mother get mixed up in something bad and don’t tell him about it. Will he forgive Becca for keeping it a secret? Can they still be together?
This is a great story and once I started it I couldn’t put it down. the chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

She is all grown up and he is about to claim her
Brooklyn Bratva is Book One in the new Russian Underworld series by Flora Ferrari and she has yet again spread her wings and successfully tried a new sub-genre. I have to admit that I love mafia/Bratva stories where the men are dangerously possessive, super protective and all sexy as sin Alpha. Ivan fits that description perfection but he is also a Brooklyn police officer who keeps his territory crime “free”.
Becca is the daughter of Ivan’s friend David. She is a nurse who comes to be a live-in attendant to Ivan’s mother and also to work at a local clinic. She has loved Ivan for a long time and also believes he is an upstanding police officer. Once Becca and Ivan see each other it is game over…………they smolder for each other and it is not long before those burning embers spark into a raging fire and they become involved. Oh boy do they set the pages on fire!!!
But there are forces which are about to disrupt Ivan’s hold on his territory and with it threaten those he loves, including Becca. Will he be able to keep her and everyone that he cares for safe? Will she still want to be with him when she discovers his other world? What will her father do when he discovers their relationship? So many questions but only one way to find out……………pick up the book and get immersed into the world of Becca and Ivan yourself to discover the answers and see if they get their very own HEA.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between all the characters, Ivan & Becca, sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done Flora. I look forward to more!
What a wonderful story with a darker edge to it. She will be his the Russian way and hopefully she will forgive him. But how could she not, she has always loved him. Well-written and great characters. Have not read a Ferrari book yet I did not like. Must read
