The morning of my arranged marriage, I’m snatched by my bodyguard.
The man who has spent the past year protecting me.
The man I’ve secretly craved since he was assigned to me.
The man who won’t tell me why he has kidnapped me.
There’s a darkness in his eyes I’ve never seen in them before.
I fear him as much as I long for him.
Now I'm alone with him, feelings I’ve tried to ignore return.
He has my heart in the palm of his hand, but will he crush it or claim it?
Taken by the Bratva is the fifth and final book in the Bratva Brotherhood Series. It's a safe story with no cliffhangers, a HEA and no cheating. This story has hot scenes, some dark themes, and bad language. Like most of the books by Bianca Cole it features an over the top possessive alpha male.

pavel !!! this silver fox deserved his own book omg
the way i fell in love with him in milana’s book 🥹 he’s such a sweetheart and so damn hot it’s insane wtf
this is a dark mafia romance, undercover bodyguard/spy x bratty mafia princess, arranged marriage, on the run, age gap, forbidden, dom/sub, fast paced, found family, duo pov, and book give of the series 🖤
i loved how pavel got his own book !! he was one character that i just wanted to know more about. he literally spent his whole life following orders. but he knew how to separate the rights from wrongs. i love him so much 🥰
pavel was placed as an undercover/spy bodyguard for kira in san diego because andrei needed him to earn his place in the new york brotherhood. he was supposed to be a spy for andrei and help him figure out of kira’s he never thought that he would be able to find love at his age and especially being a part of the bratva. but when he met kira, mans was down bad from the start omg 😩 he knew it was forbidden to fall for the enemy’s daughter but he just couldn’t help himself. he never acted on it but kira is such a little bratty tease and always pushing his buttons 🤭
I LOVED THEIR CONNECTION SO MUCH !!!
this definitely should’ve been longer but that’s only because i wanted more of them 🥹 they’re so precious and i absolutely loved how their relationship formed

Kira is about to be married to a monster that her mafia uncle arranged for her, until her bodyguard comes and kidnaps her. Pavel was her bodyguard and sparks have been flying between them for a while. Can he protect her from her uncle? Fast-paced mafia read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. Great characters and intense chemistry. A great addition to this series.

4.5 stars - The devil, also known as Dima, rears his ugly head again. This time it's as the fiance of Kira, the niece of the Bratva leader (pakhan) in San Diego. Kira's uncle is even worse than dimwitted and demented Dima.
Pavel and Kira's story is exciting, electric, and dangerous as Pavel strives to protect Kira from her uncle and newly appointed fiance. Despite the 25 year age difference, they have fantastic chemistry - even when she's being bratty.
I loved this series and am sad to see it go. It really needs an extended epilogue with steamy updates on all of the couples. 😘💥🔥💜 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Pavel and Kira's forbidden love!
by sewsummore
Pavel had been Kira's bodyguard for over a year, and as each day that passed, the harder it was for Pavel to keep his attraction to her a secret. Kira was a naughty, brat who continued to tease him but he knew that she felt the same way about him. He knew that he was not worthy of her love and the time would come when her uncle would arrange her marriage to another, but until that time came he would watch over and protect her with his life. When that time came, Pavel did the only thing he could and kidnapped her, intending to take her to Bratva friends in New York. Unfortunately they never made it to New York, and Pavel was captured while Kira made her way to Pavel's friends in New York. Andrei was the head of the New York Bratva, it was on his orders that Pavel at become Kira's bodyguard. With Kira's help they would rescue Pavel and remove those that threatened Andrei's rule. I found this book a compelling read, Kira was a determined woman who proved her devotion to Pavel, insisting that he be rescued. While much of what happened had been predicted, the love between Kira and Pavel was unexpected, but welcomed just the same. I have read all the previous books in this series and enjoyed read all of them, the characters are believable and the twisted storylines captured my imagination from the first book to this last book in the series.

Taken by the Bratva is the fifth and final installment in the Bratva Brotherhood penned by Bianca Cole. Like the others in this series she chronicles the romantic journey of a Bratva member and the daughter of an enemy. In this case it is Kira Panchenko, niece of Olezka Panchenko, pakhan of the San Diego Bratva. Olezka has ambitions to be better than he is and that involves crossing Andrei Petrov head of the New York Bratva. Penchenko unites himself with Dima Veselov, the new Miami crime boss. Andrei is the most powerful and cunning. He sends Pavel Ivanov to infiltrate Panchenko’s organization as assume the role of bodyguard to Kira. However, their world turns topsy turvy when they are instantly attracted to each other. Will Andrei crush the powerplay from Olezka? Will Pavel keep Kira safe from her uncle and the sadist, Dima? Will Pavel and Kira find happiness? You must read this book to discover what unfolds.
Once again, Ms. Cole stays true to her pattern of using a two-prong plotline. One the romance between Kia and Pavel. The other is based on greed by one crime boss and vengeance of another bested Bratva crime lord. I enjoyed how she intersperses the several themes—loyalty, love, and betrayal—as paths of rising actions creating suspense. The dialog, both conversational and internal monologues, is outstanding The lead characters are strong, independent yet vulnerable. This makes them credible and likable. I appreciate that she uses a dual POV. In so doing, she allows readers to get a better understanding of Kira and Pavel. Her use of descriptive language is masterful. Her scenes pull the reader into them allowing them to feel like first-hand witnesses to the twists and turns.

Kira is the neice of a vicious bratvia Olezka & Pavel is the bodyguard he hired to protect her only that's not the reason he is there. Pavel is working undercover for his pakhan Andrei, his job is to kidnap Kira once they find out who Olezka is marrying her off to. However over the 12 mths he has been there the sexual chemistry between them is only getting stronger so when her kidnaps her she is livid until he comes clean about what has been & is going to happen but they let their guard down & Olezka's men catch up to them but he tells Kira to leave him & drive to New York & tell Andrei what has happened. Andrei is not known for helping people but he works out a plan to rescue Pavel but at what cost. I couldn't stop reading this I was desperate to know they saved Paval. I wasn't really keen on Andrei to start with but over the series he has grown on me & his wife Vera is a wonderful woman. I'm gutted this is the last book but am so glad Pavel gets the love of his life.

Powerful, Dangerous, Lustful, Sexy Age-Gap, Bodyguard ❤️
This book follows Pavel (Mila’s bodyguard) when he goes undercover as a spy for Andrei with Olzeka Panchenko, the Pakhan who runs San Diego. He is assigned Olzeka’s niece Kira. They know Olzeka is making a move and they soon learn he is planning to marry Kira to Dima who has taken over Miami after Andrei killed his father. Dima as we remember from previous books is a terrible man and Pavel knows him well since he lived with them while Dima was being raised by his sadistic father. Pavel will not allow this marriage and they have a plan already in place but he’s not sure if they will make it all the way to NY!
Pavel sacrifices himself for Kira to be safe but will ever be reunited with her? Even though there is a huge age gap between the love and need they have for each other is beyond words. He needs her and must prove to Andrei that she is worth saving. This is the final book in this amazing series but it is well worth watching everything fall into place. Happy Reading!!

This was a simply wonderful; read, simply riveting and so enjoyable
This was a wonderfully written addition to the series the actual characters were wonderful and the plot had been so very well written. When Kira has been sold into an unwanted marriage contract by her despicable uncle, she believes that her world has come to an end.
However, Pavel had been instructed by his boss to rescue Kira and as they spend time within each other’s sphere it soon become apparent that they have a connection that is developing and growing stronger as the days go by.
This is a simply terrific read and I know that like myself you will find it impossible to put this book down once you begin reading it.

Kira is the beautiful young niece of a cruel San Diego pakhan. She’s always suspected that he murdered her parents to take control, and shipped her off to boarding school. But now she’s of an age where she’s useful. A marriage to the pakhan of Miami will strengthen the brotherhood against Andrei in New York. Kira has a bodyguard, Pavel, that she is crazy about. He’s a stunning silver fox that she has fallen in love with over the last year. Pavel was sent to San Diego from NYC by Andrei to watch over Kira, gain trust within the brotherhood and kidnap Kira when the time is right. He too has fallen in love with Kira over his time spent with her and is more than invested with her kidnapping when her groom to be is announced.
Wow. What a way to end the series. The story was compelling and riveting throughout. Kira and Pavel’s relationship is entertaining and amusing at times. Absolutely brilliant.

4 1/2 Stars
Older man/bodyguard Pavel was secretly working for a rival family protecting the pakhan’s niece Kira for over a year.
When Kira’s evil uncle betrothed her to a sadistic man, Pavel received his orders to whisk her away.
I liked the way they both secretly lusted and craved each other but was forced to refrain. This set up a lot of sexual tension filled scenes as this couple yearned for each other. Once Kira was removed from her evil uncle’s control, the sexy scenes with bdsm elements filled the pages.
A bit of mafia drama with power plays and takeovers which ended up with the good guys winning and the bad guys dying.
Some unanswered questions about Andrei’s thirst for power but Pavel and Kira get their well deserved HEA at the end.

Amazing writing, a page turner riddled with drama, evil, suspense, kidnapping, secrets and lies.When Kira is sold into marriage by her evil uncle to a very sadistic man, Pavel after receiving orders sweeps in and kidnaps her and takes her to New York. There is so much more to Pavel and Kira than initial impressions and I loved how they grew, developed and matured throughout the book both as individuals and as a couple. The author did an amazing job highlighting and describing the emotions and feelings between Kira and Pavel their growing attraction to each other. The supporting characters and relationships between them were realistic and well done. I loved this book can't wait to read more by this author.

Taken by the Bratva is book 5 in The Bratva Brother's Series. There is some overlap but really you would be able to enjoy it as a stand alone story. Bianca Cole once again does a wonderful job at drawing the reader into her dark world. She makes it dangerous but the edge is one we want to walk along.
Kira starts out as probably my least liked character in the entire series. She is spoiled, selfish and always a brat. She thinks she is above everyone else so imagine how put out she is when her Uncle arranges her marriage. When her bodyguard Pavel kidnaps her to stop the wedding things get serious. I don't want to spoil what happens but there's some violence, a twist you might not see coming and a HEA to finish things off.

A dark, suspenseful story that will heat up your e-reader!
I could not put this book down as rooting for Pavel to give in to his desire for Kira despite their age difference and his low level in the brotherhood. Pavel is Kira’s bodyguard, and for the past year they have always kept their distance, while their inner thoughts were anything but clean. Yet when Kira’s uncle announces his news, Pavel has hours to enact his plan to take Kira to NY to his real pakhan, Andrei. While driving cross country, their underlying magnetism can’t be ignored. But with risk of capture their constant friend, Pavel will risk his life to keep Kira safe? Will Kira be able to put on the performance of her life to help Pavel? The plot twists will keep you intrigued, and Andrei’s orchestrating the brotherhood is unexpected.

August 31, 2020I love these stories. This is another page turning exciting Bratva story. Older man Pavel, who's a bodyguard, working for a rival family protecting the niece, Kira, for over a year. Kira's uncle betroths her to a sadistic man. Pavel follows his orders and takes her. They both have secretly loved and craved each other but have had to hide their feelings. After leaving the evil uncle Pavel and Kira explore their kink with BDSM. Very hot and sexy. You get some of your typical Mafia power play and takeovers but the evil uncle and the bad guys get what's coming to them. Can't wait for then next book in this series.

Kira is kidnapped by her hot bodyguard, Pavel. Pavel is trying to protect Kira from her uncle. He also isn't happy that Kira's uncle set up an arranged marriage for Kira to a monster. Kira can't do anything about the marriage. Pavel has fallen for Kira and will protect her. The biggest flaw for me in this story is the lack of background knowledge on Pavel. If it has been mentioned in previous books, it was not mentioned here. The characters overall have chemistry. Kira has been attracted to Pavel since she met him but now he may lose her in order to save her.

Once she is taken what fun they have
Taken by the Bratva is the fifth and final book in the Bratva Brotherhood series and what a great book it is to end the series on. I have read each book in the series and have to say that Taken is one fast-paced, thrilling and sexy read. Plus add in a hot romance, some BDSM, an older silver fox Russian Mafia bodyguard and a young woman being forced into a marriage that she does not want by an evil uncle, a kidnapping and a whole lot more all wrapped up into a great story. I really loved this story and am sorry that this is the last book of the series.

Kira is Bratva royalty and Pavel is her bodyguard. Kira thinks their forbidden attraction is mutual. When Pavel kidnaps her, is he saving Kira or betraying her? Told in dual POV, this story has themes of discipline, an alpha male protector, an innocent & spoiled but caring female lead and detailed intimacy. "Taken By the Bratva" is a page-turner, with a plot that keeps you on edge. I didn't know it was the last of 5 books in a series! So, it can be read as a standalone, but I'll be reading the previous books to find out what I missed! Very entertaining with a hard fought happily ever after!

Pavel gets his happily ever after. Kira and Pavel have had incredible chemistry from the beginning. Kira is a young woman and Pavel is her much older bodyguard. Kira's uncle has plans to expand his power and Kira is his key, she is a possession not a family member to her uncle. There is betrayal and suspense in this book. I'm sad that this is the last book of the series, but it has been a very great experience reading all five books.

This book has to be the second best book out of the series for me i could not wait for Pavel to snag his woman, didn't think it would be one of his charges and him be relegated to bodyguard again but boy were Kira and Pavel smoking when their barriers came down.
Super lovely ending after some bad butt kicking from the guys and so glad that Pavel got his happy ending and the recognition he so muchly deserves from Andrei. Really wish this wasn't the last in the series but so glad they may have cameos in other books to come.

This book has it all. The hot but slow romance that gets very spicy. The action and suspense of the mafia angle, with all the drama. The backstories that fill in most of the gaps and round out the characters. The characters who are mostly strong and determined. The surprising and sudden twists and turns that keep the pages turning and you on the edge of your seat. Loved the action and the final pages do it justice. Can not wait for another book by this author. Well done.

Loved this installment!
It's been a little while since I've read the previous books to this one but was still an easy read for me, things came back to me as I read on.
I understood Pavel and Kira's uneasiness regarding a certain pakhan towards the end and I don't mean Kira evil uncle and 'fiance' (technically)
Didn't remember Pavel age at first, but you get the impression he's like a good bottle of wine..... 😉😉 and don't underestimate Kira, she's no fool!

This is the final book in the Bratva Brotherhood Series and is the story of Pavel and Kira. Pavel has been the bodyguard for Kira for a year until he abducts her to prevent an arranged marriage by her uncle to a sadistic monster. I recommend this book with its great characters and a plot which involves assassins, suspense, unexpected twists, emotions, and a dark steamy romance.

This is a dark mafia romance about Pavel and Kira. I hate giving away spoilers so I will just say if you are looking for a darker romance with plenty of steam, action, and twists and turns then look no further. The author does an amazing job of bringing this dark world to light and you get swept away in the story.

My first book for this author and I wish I found her sooner! This book could be read as a standalone. It’s the last in the series and it’s amazing! This book has the hot alpha Pavel who is hiding his attraction to Kira because she’s under his protection. But when he takes her away before she marries, that mutual attraction is about to combust! With many twist and turns can they be together?

I enjoyed Kira and Pavel's age gap romance. Great chemistry, emotion, angst and heat are combined with darkness, intensity, action and drama to craft a tempting read that captures your interest and keeps you entertained as the story is told and the couple's relationship evolves. I am electing to post a forthright review.
