Title: Dancing for the Badman
Series: Russian Bratva #3
Author: Hayley Faiman
Genre: Romantic Suspense
A lifetime ago, Kirill Baryshev was a man in love. Born and raised to embody what it means to be a Russian soldier—hard, cold, and ruthless—she was the one person he trusted with his heart. She was his gold. She was his treasure. And then she was gone. Her death, coupled with the death of their unborn child, was an act of betrayal. She took herself away from him after learning who he really was. A badman. A Bratva man.
A decade ago, Tatyana Orlova was a young woman who knew her future—and he was unbearably handsome. But when the FBI knocked on her door, warning her that her future was a dangerous man with ties to the Russian mafia, her fear rewrote her future in seconds. Pregnant and alone, she fled, the heartache of her decision something she knew she would carry with her always. Raising a daughter on her own, working the pole night after night, was far from a dream come true. Her life was about survival. Her hope was lost in reality—until her past darkened her door.
Lies. Regret. Fear. Anger. It all rises to the surface when the truth is revealed and Kirill and Tatyana are reunited. One federal agent's obsession leads the fated lovers back together. But the love they once shared was shattered years ago, and the pain that accompanied that loss may not ever be overcome. Tatyana will endure Kirill's cruel treatment toward her for the sake of their daughter, but the love she harbors for him is not lost. His presence makes her hope. His presence makes her dream. Maybe, just maybe, she can dance her way back into her badman's heart.
** Recommended for readers 18+ due to Language, Sexual Content, and Violence.
I am giving this book 5 stars because I absolutely love love Hayley Faiman Russian Bratva series each book tells a different wonderful story, but at the same time she still keeps all the characters connect from each book. And I love when a writer does that because we still get to read about how the other couples are doing, but we also get to read about how all these alpha strong men are when it comes to the women they love. For example when the other men give Kirill advise on what he shouldn't do when it comes to his relationship with Tatyana. Its funny how they warn him not to do certain things because its going to end up blowing up in his face. But of course he doesn't listen and it bites him in the butt for not listening and taking their advise.I was lucky to receive Dancing for the Badman in an ARC in exchange for a honest review, so of course when ever a new book comes out from the Russian Bratva series I jump on the chance to read it in an ARC because I need my fix lol. Tatyana and Kirill story is sad and beautiful yes they both really love each other, but can love be enough for them especially with all the obstacles that they go through. Its not only the horrible FBI agent who is to blame for destroying their happiness, but its also them because they both can't get over the past. Instead of them both saying yes we both messed up and owning their mistakes they just keep playing the blame game. But what they both know they do have and agree on is how much they love their daughter and how grateful they are for her. I don't want to give away to much of their story because you need to read it yourself to understand each character for yourself. But I will say this you will not be bored when you read this book. If you loved book 1 and 2 then you are going to love this book as well. But if you have not read the other books. Then I suggest you read the other books first.You can read them as a standalone, but to understand the vibe the Author created for us its better to read them all.
