We’re about to be made homeless and mom’s medicine still needs paying for.

He’s eighteen years older than me and lives in a world of darkness and sin.

But once his ring is on my finger, the truth comes out.

Vladi and Morgana
Well this was a hell of a start to the 2025 reading year. You got Vladi and his almightiness, and you got Morgana who is just trying to make it to the next day and get her mom the help she needs. Vladi needs a wife and Morgana is just who he wants. So he does what any respectable man would do. He pays off her parents debt and takes her. then goes and kills everyone who even thought about , touching, look or thinking about her. Yes, he did make a mountain out of a mole hill b.c of his hot headiness but… in the end it was for the best. It was a good book , I love Morgana gave as good as she got. She taught him to love, and not be scared to love. And oh Lili ! Honey , I love you and I hope you get your book soon and find the right man for you. b/c you will be the most amazing woman. Over all get book, I will read Sasha’s and I am sure the other brother’s as well. Good start to a great series.

She jumped right in for her sister in law and made she she was loved. The plot of this story was interesting, I loved the different pov’s. It was also super spicy.

Just ok
Was ok not the best for me I see that there was error grammar and that once i kept reading it was losing me and Iâm not a fan of this book. This is my first time reading this author book but I donât think I will be continuing reading this.

My First Cara book!
This was my introduction to Ms. Cara and only one of few romance Iâve read on the darker side.I would say that this is a good introduction to dark romance with milder themes (or maybe Iâm more desensitized than I thinkð ) and an amazing couple.Thrust into the life, Morgana holds her own as a strong heroine and keeps her brand new husband in check in such a way that had me both laughing and wowing lol. Loved their relationship and their growth throughout the story.And the steam? It was steamin ð®âð¨The only reason for four star instead of five was the flow. Some actions where choppy from one movement to the next but the story was still easy to follow and beyond entertaining.So glad I read this one!

Love can surprise you
What a tender story!Two people who live lives filled with hurt both physical and one verbal abuse find a way to love together. Their love takes twists and turns, the building of trust and then that elusive love just finally grabs hold. But it’s also a story love becomes a tale possession and obsession for the woman he finds.It’s a story of family that is strong despite a verbally abusive bratva father. An older brother with a caring for his “delicate” younger twin sister who the father shuns. It’s a closely interwoven tale.I would recommend it reading this author’s tale of intrigue, obsession and, yes, finally love that goes on in this family. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Ugh, there were so many editing and consistency mistakes. Is Morganna’s hair red or chestnut? Is she on the pill, or does she have an IUD? And what about the giggling? Why is a 27-year-old woman giggling so much? Not even Vladi (awful nickname, it’s what you call a child, not a man over the age of 12) could save this story; he was weak and broody and not, in a good way, more in a whiney way. This book could have been better. I haven’t decided if I will read the next book in the series; I guess it depends on who it is; maybe yes, if it’s Lilliana.âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ – excellent, would recommend, will rereadâï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ – greatâï¸âï¸âï¸ – goodâï¸âï¸ – ok, forgettable, had issues with plot and/or charactersâï¸ – dnf, would not recommend, terrible

This is book one of the Angels & Brutes series and what a read!Vlad! Oh my *fans self!This man, honestly is the epitome of an alpha male.Heâs possessive, protective and completely obsessed and I am here for it all.If youâre looking for a heroine with no backbone or bite then this is not the read for you.Morgana has sass and a strength which was so refreshing to read. Sheâs feisty and defiant but also selfless especially putting her family and others before herself.Vlad and Morgana push each other to be better versions of themselves. Their banter was top notch and the chemistry was off the charts as well as all the spice!I felt like I knew all the characters, they had depth and the storyline was well written and developed.I absolutely loved everything about this book and canât wait to see what treats book two holds.

This ended up being more of a sweet read for me. There were elements of bratva but light.Morgan didn’t hold back, and Vlad let his soft side show with her.Love triumphed over hate, that’s for sure, even when that hate is something they each experienced in their life before they met.

Book was okay but didnât really pack the punch I was looking for. Spice scenes mediocre. Overall plot was interesting but I didnât really believe in it

First book in the series. Intresting story with lots of drama, family issues,danger, violence, great chemistry between the two main characters,lust ,love and a lot of heat. Check the content warning as there is some heavier subjects in this book. Definitely worth it.
