I bought him. Then he taught me what it means to be owned.His bratva betrayed him and sold him into slavery, but he takes orders from no one. I learned that the hard way, and then with my cheeks still blushing and my bottom still burning he showed me which of us would be the master and which of us would be the little girl screaming out her humiliating surrender as she’s claimed and ravaged in the … and ravaged in the back seat of her own luxury car.
My family has been at war since long before I was born, and my enemies are now his enemies, but he plans to fight this battle his way and my only choice is whether to obey or be punished.
I can tell myself he’s just my bodyguard, but every time I pretend to be in charge and end up sore, sorry, and shamefully used, it is made more and more clear that I’ve been brutally broken…
Publisher’s Note: Brutally Broken includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

This is one hot sexy dark story. The twists are really surprising and the ending is phenomenal. A great story you won’t want to put down. Vadim and Sophie have fabulous chemistry.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. The story of eroticism, Dominant/ Submissive and humiliation of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

Our heroine needs protection, so she buys a brute to do just that. But to use him, she must release him, and then who will protect her from him?
This is a dark mafia romance story with strong elements of D/S and punishment, as well as other stuff. The story is well written, but I can’t really call it easy to read. There is a lot going on here, some of it steamy, some of it dark, sometimes both of them together. Additionally, the plot has a lot of twists and turns to it not only keep you guessing, but occasionally you have to back up and confirm you read things right.
What I will say is that, if you like dark romance stories with more than a little intrigue to them, then this will be an enjoyable and very satisfying read for you.
Highly recommended.

Sophie is a tough, sophisticated woman, rich and powerful. Or is she a sweet innocent girl stalked by a brutal, sadistic man. Vadim is tortured and sold to Sophie. He is a hard killer she will use to protect her. A vicious man with no soul..or is he? Vadim sees Sophie’s fear and vows to protect her no matter what the cost. Soon, you wonder who is the master and who the slave. I really enjoyed this read. It was really good. Dangerous, sexy, with very harsh punishment. Spanking, anal.

I could not put this book down! The story is great and has some unexpected twists. The characters are complex and interesting with chemistry to spare. I liked Sophie even when she was at her haughtiest (this girl really earned her punishments) but I fell madly in love and lust with Vadim. That is one hot man and he showed a lot of restraint with Sophie, all things considered. This dark, steamy, intense romance had my full attention from beginning to breathless end.

So much more than 5 Stars
Holy Hotness Loki Renard blew me away with this one!!!
Brutally Broken is way more than just “A Dark Mafia Romance” as the story has so much depth, intrigue, intensity, fascination and emotion all wrapped into a wonderfully intoxicating and engaging story that I would not put down.
I am not going to describe any part of this story as it must be experienced by each reader alone. But be warned that you will be taken down some very dark paths which barely have a trickle of light shining on them with lots of twists and very warped turns. Loki Renard has once again not disappointed with either the story-line or the characters.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Told from dual points of view this is a very interesting story that see a female buying a male. The chemistry between the two is off the charts and things don’t quite go to plan for our female character Sophie. It’s wonderfully written and flows very nicely, a joy to read if you enjoy dark mafia romances.

Vadim is former mob enforcer and in handcuffs. Once the handcuffs come off he takes on a dominant role with punishments for Sophie. This is a delicious and dark tale.

The darkness of this story repelled me but their relationship enticed me!
by sewsummore
This was a dark and powerful story based on an age old vendetta, a blood curse, a promise to destroy a family to it’s last living member or die trying. For years and through many generations until the last living members come face to face. Sophie was a young woman alone since the assassination death of her parents, she would have died as well if not for the actions of a faithful aide. As a last resort she purchases a man to become her protector, employees may leave but a sold man is there forever. Vadim had been banished from the brotherhood, exiled for a crime he had never committed, a man as ruthless and full of anger it was possible to be. She had purchased him and saved him from the fighting pit where he would have died, she was patronizing, arrogant and determined. He owed her nothing and yet he protected as much as he punished her. She gave his life meaning and he gave her a future. There were so many twists in this story, I never knew what to expect on the next page, the darkness of this story repelled me but their relationship enticed me.

What happens when two extremely strong personalities come together? Add the fact that both are trying to survive. Both seem to have their own agenda until fate, and Loki Renard, step in. This is written in such an engrossing way it literally played out in my mind as I read each word, seemingly walked through each step with each of these characters. The world-building is on point, the characters have personality traits that are so relatable and the plot? The plot will take you through twists and turns have made me gasp and throw the F-bomb a few times. Just about the time I thought I knew what was going on, Loki threw me a curve and I was floored at the revelation. And the chemistry between the hero and heroine is over the top HOT. I was lucky enough to be offered a copy of this book and then had to buy my own. I am so proud to be able to give my honest and voluntary review. I highly recommend this five star read. You won’t be sorry.
Not everything is as it seems!!
Sophie has been hiding and trying to survive ever since her parents were murdered. She purchases Vadim from a man to be her bodyguard fully expecting his life to be cut short by her enemies. But Vadim doesn’t think she should take things lying down, he thinks they should strike out at her enemies instead of hiding from them. He is vicious, brutal and he has also become her lover. Things are not always what they seem and Sophie’s enemies won’t take her retaliation lying down, they have been planning something evil from the very start. This is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Hot and captivating story
—>>> Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars – Sophie Mortari needs a new body guard; the bigger, the meaner, the colder, the better. Her life is in danger every moment she is exposed in public, and she feels safest in her tower bedroom. Purchasing Vadim will suit her needs more than adequately, but that does not mean that she can get away with treating him the way she usually treats people. He had come to her as a slave, but there is much more going on behind his killer eyes than even Sophie can realize. Hot and captivating story!
I really enjoyed this steamy, intense and twisted tale. I thought that Sophie and Vadim shared such an interesting dynamic and I loved their chemistery. I found these characters quite complex and very strong. The tension and power struggle between them was very engaging and I liked that there were so many layers and secrets to explore as the story unfolded.
Loki Renard writes dark, twisty romances and am I glad she does. Vadim and Sophie’s story is brutal, twisted, surprising, and passionate. These two characters are really well written, so terribly damaged and perfect for each other. I love everything I’ve read by Loki, and this is noe exception.
I received an advanced copy of this book from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
LR is the master of the dark romance genre. She is able to twist dark desires with unique plots. She creates characters that crave and drive you to want more of the world she is building around you. Before you know it, you are engrossed in the story. She is one of my go-to authors.
Those story was definitely more successful than others (I usually rate at about 4 to 4.5 stars for LR). I think it was the brokenness of both of the characters or maybe the fact the there was a little bit more emotional background behind the power-struggle. It helped to swallow the brattiness and submission of Sophia. It’s a definite recommend.

This is a great read! Sophie is the last of her family. She needs a bodyguard that can protect her. Vadim has been broken and put on the market to sell. Even though she is told not to buy Vadim, she does. But then the tables are turned and Vadim controls Sophie. But…is that right? Everything is twisted and you’ll be surprised at the end! Loved this book!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
My family has bee at war since long before I was born. I chose Vadim to protect me from my enemies, but now i wonder if I should have worried more about protecting myself from him.
Brutally Broken is a dark read from Loki Renard. This is the story of Sophie and Vadim. Sophie’s life has always been in danger. Since the day she was born she has pretty much been figuring she would die soon. Now that her last bodyguard has been killed she buys a new one. This is how she meets Vadim. He is Russian and has been thrown out of the mafia by a huge betrayal by his brotherhood. Now he wants revenge but first he has some serious lessons to teach the woman who thinks she owns him. The twist that is in this story though you will never see coming. Wow this book was dark and amazing and one I read in one sitting. I loved every second of it.
Brutal
This story adds meaning to being bought with no return policy. Vadim is larger than life with intimate knowledge of the working of the families. Sofia wants to stay in her ivory tower. She needs protection but she doesn’t want to hire some. She should never have given into him. This is a dark romance with a twist. Loki keeps cranking stories out to tantalize us. Keep writing I love them! If you like to read dark romance I recommend this book.
