I am her enemy.And I’m going to make her mine.She might never forgive me, but I don’t care.
Saving the daughter of an enemy was not my intention but, now that I have her, I’m going to keep her. Nothing will stop me from using this mafia heiress as I see fit, not even her personal vendetta that pits her family against the Bratva. Kidnapping the beautiful Italian princess is in my best interests …
Kidnapping the beautiful Italian princess is in my best interests even if it’s not good for her. Because I have wicked secrets of my own, which I intend to play out on her luscious body.
She will be my prized possession come hell, high water, or a vicious new war.
The Russian Savage is Arkady’s story and is book two in the Krasnov Brothers series. No cliffhangers. No cheating. Includes vivid, steamy scenes. Can be read as a standalone.

The Russian Savage: Enemy of the Bratva is about the oldest Krasnov brother, Akrady. The author has given a storyline that is dark, sexy, and at times downright brutal (as is the mafia way of life). The book is very well written with a storyline that will have you white knuckling your e-reader a time a two and loving every second of the read. The storyline is suspenseful: an Enemies to Lovers with Dangers around every bend and some very hot sexy scenes are to be had as well. The author also gave us characters we can sink our teeth into and we won’t soon forget.
The Krasnov brothers are very dangerous men – they can turn lethal in the blink of an eye. Especially Arkady. He will fight to the death to protect his family and the Zolotov Bratva. He meets the daughter of the Bratva’s enemy strictly by accident when he unknowingly saves her from being accosted in a dark alley. Once he learns who she is he holds Lucia captive. What he doesn’t know at the time is that taking this little sassy, feisty, sexy woman captive is going to turn his world upside down. Not only on a family business level but also on a personal level. Arkady learns some information about Lucia’s family and their plans and trust me when I tell you they do not want to see this man’s wild side – which is exactly what anyone will get when it comes to harming his family or Lucia. Arkady sets out to tame Lucia and bend her to his will. But don’t underestimate Lucia. She just might have the power to bring this sexy crime boss to his knees.
Awesome mafia read and this reader is anxiously waiting for the next Krasnov Brother story. I Highly recommend The Russian Savage: Enemy of the Bratva as well as book 1 in the series (The Russian Thug: Abducted by the Bratva), you won’t regret grabbing them up ASAP.

So on this book I am lost on what say for my review…I loved this book. I loved the characters. I loved the world it is set in and I so can’t wait for another book in this world… or at least I hope there will be another. So given all that why can’t i think of anything to say in this review…spoilers….everything i think of leads to a potential spoiler and that is something I won’t do… I hate it when somebody does that to a book. So all I am going to say this time is I loved this book and I want more. and encourage everybody to go out and read this book!
I really enjoyed this book, mostly because Lucia fits so well with Arkady, they have passion, chemistry and both have a need for pain, mostly taken out on Lucia. Lucia has not had a great life, her father the mafia don ignores her or uses her which ever fits into his plan at that time. To escape the emotional pain Lucia cuts herself, and has become addicted to pain. Arkady rescues Lucia, and keeps her captive when he discovers she wants to revenge her brothers death by killing Kiril , until she discovers he attempted to rape Jo, Kiril’s wife. As he falls in love with Lucia’s feisty spirit and independent nature he starts imposing pain on her, which aids in his sadistic tendencies and her need to harm herself all while he protects, pleasure and make sure she is taken care off. I loved that he never pushes her past her limits and its an arrangement that works for both of them. The plot was intriguing and I was thrilled when Arkady saves Lucia again and takes care of the problem her father created. A must read I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

This is the second book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. Lucia a mob princess and Arkady plans to make her his own. He rescues her and kidnaps her when he learns the what her plans are for her own family. What will happen when he discovers her secret? Great mafia read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. This action paced read has loads of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved it!
Wow! The oldest Krasnov brother is very dark and the deep.
Arkady Krasnov is the second in command of the Zolotov Bratva. He is loyal to Yuri and his brothers, both by blood and in the Bratva. When he happens upon a woman being accosted in an ally one night, he has no idea that his life is about to be turn upside down and sideways. He has no idea that the woman he has rescued was made for him and that he will feel her presence and absence soul deep.
Lucia Leone is the only daughter of the Italian Mafia Don. Although she is not treated as the Princess she should be. She is out for vengeance for the brutal death of her brother Bastiano Leone, who was killed by Kirill Krasnov. She has no idea who her brother really was. He was someone much different to her than he was in the Mafia world. She has no idea that the man who just saved her from two rival gangs that were fighting over her, is the man that will show her the care, love, and attention that she has been searching for since her mother died.
I loved this story. The Krasnov brothers are dangerous, sexy, and lethal. They are deadly when they are fighting to protect the ones they love and care about. This story was brutal in some ways, but it was very steamy and sexy. Arkady is not a man to cross in any situation and when he finds that he wants to protect Lucia he turns into a wild animal to protect her and keep her safe. I give this story 5-flaming stars and highly recommend it to readers that like Bratva, Mafia, plots with a tough guy that will fall to his knees for the right woman, and tough, sassy women that can keep their men on the edge constantly. The story is full of danger, action packed, and some very sexy scenes. I cannot wait for Sasha’s story. I do wish we had heard more about Valeria after her rescue, but perhaps in another book. Ms. Warren can write a great Mafia, Bratva book with all of the danger, tough guys, and strong, sassy women that will pull you in and keep you a prisoner until the end of the book
This is the 2nd book in this amazing series and is Arkady and Lucia’s story. Arkady is the callous underboss of the Zolotov Bratva, and he will do whatever he has to in order to protect his family. Lucia is the Italian Princess of a rival Bratva, and she is on a mission of revenge for her brother’s death. When Arkady rescues Lucia from a situation he finds himself at looking at the end of her gun which is aimed at him, and he kidnaps her as collateral. This is a well written intense story which is dark and filled with secrets, heartbreak, emotions, action, danger, passion, which all leads to a steamy, intricate, and riveting read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
This was a fantastic read with plenty of action, violence, emotions, passion, and steam. Lucia and Arkady had sizzling chemistry and were great together. The story was well-written with a fast-paced storyline that was interesting and well-developed. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!

This was the first book I’ve read by Rie Warren, but definitely will not be the last! This enemies-to-lovers dark Mafia romance was perfection for a lover of dark romance like me. This book has it all: intensity, violence, and great chemistry between Arkady and Lucia. I can’t wait to continue this series.
Let’s get our Mafia On! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Russian Savage was just GREAT! I loved the first in the series and the second was so suspenseful and unexpected with the story line. I could not put it down. I loved the Russian lines.. they were super sexy and hilarious. If you need an intense mafia romance.. look no further.
A very dark steamy romance. The couple has great character development and chemistry. Very much anguish and enjoyable. The plot is very realistic.

‘The Russian Savage: Enemy of the Bratva’ is the second book in Ms. Rie Warren’s series ‘ Krashnov Brothers.’ Having never read anything written by Ms. Warren, and me being an ‘everything and anything’ mafia enthusiast, her twist to the ‘enemies to lovers’ concept caught my attention. The pulsing, sensual heat between sworn mafia enemies Arkady (Bratva) and Lucia (Sicilian) begins to simmer after Arkady comes to her rescue, only to have Lucia point her gun at him when they both recognize each other. Overtaking her easily, Arkady kidnaps Lucia and brings the Sicilian ‘princess’ back to his home, where her continued defiance and struggles begin to stoke Arkady’s darker desires. As their sexual tension continues to mount, Lucia’s presence starts playing havoc with Arkady’s emotions, causing conflict not only within himself but his mafia business dealings. When he learns that Lucias’ father and Don of the Sicilian mob, has been making new alliances against the Bratva, using ANYTHING at his disposal to solidify the deals; not only is Arkady and his brothers forced to meet this new threat head-on, but, it pries the lid of his feelings for Lucia.
How Ms. Warren pens the slow simmer to the eventual eruption of Lucia and Arkady’s passion, ensnares, the reader’s all five senses, making their moments almost palpable!!
As the author states, you can easily read book two as a stand-alone. However, I will be grabbing book one so that I can get a better understanding of who the Krashnov brothers are and find out just how nasty Lucias’ family really is!
Mafia, enemies to lovers, dark erotic romance. Russan Bratva underboss Arkady unknowingly rescues the Italian Cosa Nostra princess Lucia from warring street gangs.
I loved revisiting with middle brother Kiril and Jo from “The Russian Thug” and watching the interactions with the rest of the family.
While “dark” romances are not my cup of tea, the author still manages to write an intriguing storyline. I’m eagerly anticipating the follow up which will (fingers crossed) feature younger brother Maksim and Sasha.
Rie Warren You are a book god. Loved this book and can’t wait to read more from you. Yes this book is intense but the best book I have read so far. I loved the Mystery, Suspense, Romance, Triller, And best of all the main hero let his woman be herself and helped her but not go all “Me man you woman, you do as I say”. Can’t wait for the next book

Do you ever pick up a book knowing exactly what you’re going to read? You think, “This is going to be a (enter qualifiers here)” and then you start reading and realize you were one hundred percent, right?
Yeah, this is NOT that book #sorrynotsorry!
The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with!
Bad boy….check
Bod boy’s crazy brother/friend…check
Bad boy’s Kryptonie…check ….check and check
By the time you’ve figured out who is who and how deep hate can run, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
Lucia and Arkady met in a very unconventional way she was on her way to kill his brother when she was attacked by gangs in she was the prize and let’s say once she admitted to her reason for being there things turned from worse to worse and she then became his prisoner. Let’s just say that is when the fun really begins and the shenanigans these two get into are truly something to look forward to. I won’t give too much of this away but I will say this it will be worth your time and questions you must ask are what will happen to Lucia as we all know Bravta do not take kindly to someone trying to murder one of their own, why did Lucia go after them and did find the answers she was seeking and will these two have a connection that leads to a HEA? It’s edgy yet always within boundaries of morality. It’s compelling, like Nutella, bacon and oreo cookies had a threesome and this story is their lovechild.

Rie Warren did a great job on this story. The Russian Savage had a strong well written plot that was filled with several emotions, including suspense, drama, action and more. Lucia and Arkady were strong characters, their journey was a rollercoaster, they had many ups and downs but they were drawn to each other. The attraction between them was strong, their chemistry was sexy. They were good together.
I enjoyed this story, it was great.
Thank you, Rie Warren. Great work 🙂
Reading Lucia and Arkady story was vital to my health. This one is sexy, dark, dangerous and oh so thrilling.
Rie just made my week with this book. The writing leaves mental images in your mind. Arkady is that mix that your mom warned you about but even the warning can’t stop how he’s going to get to you. Lucia wanted revenge and what you want to what you need or even crave definitely takes on a life of its own with RUSSIAN SAVAGE.
Enemies to lovers done on a darker level. I loved it!!!! I received an ARC for an honest and voluntary review.
OMG last page was just turned and my mind is reeling. This book is DARK, DARKER than the first book in the series but truthfully, if you know this author, well it is to be expected. HOLY HELL, what I didn’t expect was how NAUU-TYYY this story gets. It has some over the top scenes that ummm have me fanning myself.
Lucia and Arkady take a minute to get the story started. You have all kinds of questions but as you get all the details, if you are anything like me your blood pressure will rise. Yep totally wanted to harm some characters but even through the dark, you will feel the sexy romance. Wink.
This the perfect escape and if you like dark romance then is a book you need. Haha. Happy Reading Everyone. XOXO
The book started out with a bang. H is dark, brooding, and efficient at dispatching his enemies. The h doesn’t back down but can’t help but respond to Arkady. Good story, fast moving, and hot. This is a man who likes his kink. Lots of spanking in some very hot and sexy ways.

The Russian Savage is all about the three D’s. Dark, disturbing and dirty. I loved the characters. Their flaws made me appreciate them even more. Not the cookie cutter characters you get with a lot of books but instead it’s their faults and flaws that make them stronger. It’s gritty with a great plot, well written and awesome chemistry. Mafia books are my most favorite genre of romance and this one hit the spot well.
