Dear Reader: I’m USA TODAY bestselling contemporary romance author Mika Lane, and am all about bringing you sexy, sassy stories with imperfect heroines and the bad-a*s dudes they bring to their knees. And I have a special love for romance with multiple guys because why should we have to settle for just one hunky man?

Writing has been a passion of mine since, well, forever (my first book was The Day I Ate the Milkyway, a true fourth-grade masterpiece). These days, steamy romance, both dark and funny, gives purpose to my days and nights as I create worlds and characters who defy the imagination. I live in magical Northern California with my own handsome alpha dude, sometimes known as Mr. Mika Lane, and two devilish cats named Chuck and Murray. These three males also defy my imagination from time to time.
A lover of shiny things, I've been known to try new recipes on unsuspecting friends, find hiding places so I can read undisturbed, and spend my last dollar on a plane ticket somewhere.
I'll always promise you a hot, sexy romp and some version of a modern-day happily ever after.

Lane herself continues to prove why she's a master of her craft, delivering pulse-pounding suspense and heart-stopping twists that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
But let's talk about Charleigh, shall we? After three books, I can confidently say that I'm not her biggest fan. Not even close. Despite her trials and tribulations, I just couldn't muster an ounce of empathy for this brat. Sorry, not sorry.
That being said, if you're a sucker for mafia romance, this series is an absolute must-read. Just be prepared for a wild ride from start to finish.
This is the 3rd book in this series DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ 1 AND 2. This book leaves off with our favorite 4 who can't seem to get it together when they need to be on the same page. Charleigh has done everything she could to protect her sister Evie, but now she's in the thick of it and instead of running she's about to have the fight of her life. Along with our crazy and loveable Askleeve brothers well it's about to become a rocky ride. They are trying to fight everything not only in their house but in the outside world as well. This unlikely family is going to blow you away in this book. It has all of its love, passion, intrigue, drama, violence, and some hotness you won't be able to handle. Find out what happens and if the brothers can keep their love together for Charleigh as well as make sure her sister stays alive. Or will the house come tumbling down?
4 1/2 stars While I enjoyed this book and its non-stop action in the dangerous world in which these characters live, I found myself thinking that the ending was a bit convenient. After all of the darkness and the viciousness of the crimes, to simply end it without consequences was disappointing. I expected more after reading this series which was captivating from the beginning. I would have loved to finally have the most important thread throughout the series have a fantastic finale but to end it like that was troubling.
Vicious Revenge by Mika Lane We get our conclusion to a lot of what happens during the course of the three stories of this series. It’s more exciting if you read the first two books because you get the details of how the brothers get hold of Charleigh and how this story will entwine their lives forever. I really didn’t want it to end! Can’t wait to see how her sister will deal with the last information about their mom in her own book that’s to come later. Great job to this amazing author! She captures your imagination and you don’t want to let go.
This is the third book in the Beauty and the Bratva series. They must be read in order as each sequel picks up where the previous left off. This is the conclusion of Charleigh's story. She is still trying to protect her sister, and figure out her relationship with her three "captors"/ boyfriends as well as get her revenge on everyone that has hurt her. Many ups and downs throughout, but this one definitely keeps you entertained and not wanting to stop until you reach the end, and then you still want more!
War between the Alekseev brothers and Dimitri is escalating to violent levels as Charleigh is consumed by hatred and a manic drive for retribution. It's an action packed, suspenseful, passionate story about love, betrayal and grief where secrets are revealed. I think the men shown on the 3 book covers of this series should match the characters described in these books. Vadik with "smooth, bald head", Niko with " dirty blond hair" and Kir with a "man bun." It's annoying that they do not jive.
This dark Russian mafia story is the third in the Beauty and the Bratva series. It’s a reverse harem romance that was very hard to put down. Charleigh is out for revenge and won’t stop until she gets it. Her three sexy guys do their best to protect her from the mafia, but mostly from herself. There’s danger, murder, kidnapping, secrets and of course, Lot of Heat. Mika sure knows how to write mafia and reverse harems. Until the next one……
This book rocks! This book is the finale of Charleigh’s tale and it’s a doozy! The danger continues as the story unfolds and soon that danger will include Evie. The road that Charleigh and the brothers are on is one bumpy ride but along the way, the truth about things in the past will come to light. This book is one heck of an ending for an amazing tale and I highly recommend it!
I read an ARC copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.
This is the final part of Charleigh's story with the Alekseev Brothers. It starts out after the explosion that ended the 2nd book and goes through the fight above all fights. Vadik, Kir and Niko are evolving from the ruthless guys to accepting nit only Charleigh but her teenage sister Evie as well. They all fight to avenge everything that has been done. Great storyline and incredible characters. Thank you Mika for another amazing story
Betrayal, heartache, and acceptance were the tone of this book.
It was good to get the answers that had been raised throughout the trilogy. It felt like a hard slog to get there, especially with everything that happened to Charleigh.
I read on Kindle and read along on Audible. Great consistency by the voice actors/narrators across the trilogy.
What an ending! I'm sad it's over but Mika Lane is great at writing reverse harems stories and mafia. The drama, the whole storyline was something I couldn't put down and didn't want to put down. I highly recommend this but make sure you read the first two books in the trilogy first or you will be lost. They have to be read in order to get the full experience!
Charleigh thought things couldn't get any worse, her life and the brothers' has all but imploded. Dimitri is causing problems and there is a traitor in their midst. Can they finally find out the truth and get revenge..... or will someone beat them to it. ??? What a climax!!!!! I didn't see that one coming Awesome !!!!!
Listened to all 3 back to back. The story was interesting, but the FMC was still mixed up with her feelings 2/3 of the way through book 3. I like them, I shouldn't... they are trying to protect her, and she says they don't care or protect her. It got exhausting. Maybe would have been a better read than listen ?
Well written and truly filled with action, sizzle and heart. I love how the men were all about doing their best to stay true to the bratva yet also stay true to Charleigh also! I liked how despite everything she has been through, Charleigh still keeps on fighting!
I absoultly love this book! Mika has a way with creating worlds that make you want to keep turning the page! I have read all three books and loved them. The charcters are so strong and Charleigh she learns how strong she is and can be. There is a few surprises that i enjoyed.
Great conclusion to this story. As Charliegh copes with what happened, Vadik, Kir and Niko try to keep her safe. Evie moves in but is unhappy being home schooled. Danger seems to follow Charliegh and she is getting mad as she wants revenge on Dimitri.
Was given a free audiobook version in exchange for an honest review. I didn't realise it as part of a series and hadn't read the other ones before this one. Only gave it 4* as didn't know the characters very well, enjoyed this story
I really enjoyed this entire series and I am so glad this last book finally brought everything together. It was still just as steamy as the others but with even more action and drama
This is a great ending. With a big twist at the end it’s a gripping book. These characters go through so much together they have a great relationship. A fantastic performance.
