Bought by the Badman (Russian Bratva Book 10) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 328 ratings

Giovanna Rossi was born an Italian Mafia princess, by blood only. Raised to be nothing more than a toy used to satisfy men’s pleasures. She was always available for a price. She never dreamed to hope for anything other than physical relationships.

Aidan O’Neil was once an Irish Prince, next in line to his father’s throne. He grew up to despise what his father stood for. After all, he helped bring the Irish king to his knees. His devotions now lie with the newly formed union between his Irish mob and the Russian Bratva.

An arrangement meant only to release physical tension, turns into so much more—it turns into everything. When a broken prince meets his match in a broken princess, their bond cannot be denied.

    If you thought the Russian Bratva men were violent, intensely alpha wait till you meet Aidan O'Neil, the Prince of the Irish mob!

    Hayley Faiman's latest book Bought by the Badman is a spin off of her Russian Bratva series and it is phenomenal.

    Giovanna Rossi was born an Italian princess but her life has been far from a fairytale. Raised to be a whore she is given to Aidan, the man that is now a leader of the Irish mob but has formed a union with the Russian Bratva. Once reading the backstory of Giovanna you may find that she is a weak pitiful woman. If that is how you see her then go back and start over because she has to be one of the strongest heroines I have read. To survive, she has adapted her life to what others have made her. She takes control the only way a woman in her position can. She is broken in so many ways and is only seen as a pawn in a game that isn't hers to play.

    I adored Aidan but in true Hayley Faiman fashion he had his moments where he needed a beat down because of his actions toward Giovanna. I could kind of excuse his confused feelings towards her because he didn't know her whole story but there comes a time when he pushed to far. But when this Irish hothead falls in love and recognizes his true feelings for Giovanna he doesn't let anyone stop him from claiming her.

    Hayley Faiman knows how to write hot intense passionate scenes and there were plenty between Aidan and Giovanna. What was sexy was sometimes you wonder who was seducing who. I was overheated reading this book numerous times!

    I love the Russian Bratva series but I would love more from her Irish men as well!

    Wow another amazing book in this series written by an awesome author Hayley. This series has kept me captivated from the first book till this one and i hope to see Sergi story soon. This book is about Aiden and Giovanna’s story, the obstacles, the communications they overcome and the feelings that is bottle inside of them until they open their eyes and see the love that they have for each other. No spoiler but it was a beautiful awesome book and lots of HOT HOT scene.
    I hope this series never end but i cant wait for Sergi story to come out.

    Bought by the Badman is a good story filled with angst, passion, love and anger. Giovanna aka Vanna is an amazing character and my heart broke for her. Vanna is put though hell most of her life and than Aiden hurts her as well. I loved how Vanna comes into her own voice as the story progressed. Great addition to the series! Happy Reading 📚

    These books get better and better every time. I will say that I was asked to read this story as a arc for my honest review. And I thought I could read it as a standalone, but I couldn't. Maybe some people could, but with nine other stories before this one, I really had to go back and read the others. I am so happy I did!

    I liked Aiden in the past couple stories he was in. He is a strong character and he needed a strong woman with him. But we already knew he was married. Little did we know what a horrible women she was.

    Giavonne is perfect. Her life is hell and she is in need of a prince charming. Aiden is not that. But he does save her in his own way. He is after all a badman.

    I loved this story.

    Even though this is the Russian Bratva series, the story revolves around the Irish mob. More specifically, around the head of the Irish mob, Aidan O’Neill. If you are a dedicated fan of the series, you will definitely remember him from Devyn (Aidan’s little sister) and Timofei’s book. You will also be happy to visit again with a couple of the Bratva members. If you’ve never read the previous books in the serious, no worries. This book can definitely be read as a stand-alone. It will only make you want to go back to where everything started :)))

    I loved Giovanna and Aidan’s story. It was so unexpected, they were both so different, but I was so caught in their whirlwind of a romance. They were both such tortured souls in their own way, and deserved to find their happy ending. There were quite a few twists and turns, and just when I thought they were out of the woods, something else would happen. I also really enjoyed all of Aiden’s brothers.

    On a final note, as a warning for those who cannot deal with physical abuse of any kind, if that’s a trigger for you, stay away. Giovanna is being put through the wringer, sometimes even by the hero himself.

    Slightly different take on mob / mafia story. Good characters and good storyline. Will definitely read more from this author.

    Another amazing mafia romance from the talented Hayley Faiman!

    I never tire of Hayley’s hero’s, or in some cases anti-hero’s, and this one was no different. Another great part of the Badman series. I loved seeing the addition of the Irish and Italian mafia within this Bratva series.

    Aidan and Giovanna’s story was quick and dirty but I oh so loved it! I know this is the second to last book and I’m truly sad about that but I know all good things just come to an end. Looking forward to finishing up this great series by one of the best!

    So when I had this book I totally didn’t see that it was a spin off and there was 9 books before this.
    Saying that I still got into the story and I will definitely go back to the beginning at some point and read the others.
    One of my favourite genres is mafia so when I saw this I had to have it. Hayley Faiman is a new author to me and I’ll definitely be checking out her other books.
    This is gritty, Dark and addictive and I for one can’t resist a bad man!
    One click this today you won’t be disappointed!!!
