Dancing for the Badman (Russian Bratva Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Hayley Faiman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 311 ratings
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.

    Another awesome read from Hayley. I think this was my favorite so far out of this series. I loved the character and relationship development in this book. It definitely wasn't boring!! Without leaving any spoilers....I loved the plot and their love for each other which take some time to build back up. I also love the fact that we finally know what is going on with that Pesky FBI agent from the previous book. It also has tidbits of Haleigh, Emiliya and Ashley in it which I love bc you are up to date on all the characters!!!

    This series has to be by far my favorite bratva series its dark, nothing is sugar coated and the relationships are real and not perfect.

    Definitely recommend!!!

    DFTB took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Kirill is the lead, he has loved Tati for years. He thought she was dead along with their child. Tati is alive along with their nine year old daughter. Kirill has found her and he will bring his girls back to LA to live with him. A few twist and turns, Sergei is Tati's father who left her and her mother when she was a small child. Sergei left them to protect them from the evil Ivan who was eliminated in book one. Kirill and Tati will have a rocky start, chemistry is not a problem, trust has to be earned. I highly recommend reading this series in order. Happy Reading 📚

    Tati a Kirill story was amazing. Tatiyana was so very strong. I love that he was so mean to her until he realized. Yeah big man, now you need to make it up to her. I love it. SPOILER- I love how they were getting ready for the wedding, that was so sweet. Felt like I was there. I messed up by reading the Notorious Devils first but don’t regret it makes me want to read that one all over again...and I will. I don’t want this series to end. But on to the next one.

    I loved Dancing for the Badman, and in my opinion it's the best book of the series yet. I love Krill, you think he is the cold person, but as you read you start to get him. And then Tatyana, she is so strong, but while she may have brought heartache on herself by her actions, seeing how she overcomes everything and how strong she is, she was beautiful. I so enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read Living for the Badman--Ashely and Yakov's book coming later this year.

    I was surprised at how well written the characters and hierarchy of the mafia were written.
    Our hero is... broken and cold. Merciless towards Tati in the beginning.
    Huge misunderstandings between them that get worked out pretty quickly thankfully. The book isn't filled with too much angst and the enemies-lovers theme isn't drawn out.

    The sexy times were plentiful without being overdone. And they were very well fleshed out.

    I'll be checking out this Authors other books.

    Hayley Faiman is a new author to me and this story had me turning pages way past my bedtime. This gripping tale kept me on the edge of my seat and held my interest until the very end. Dancing with the badman is one of those stories that you just have trouble putting away, simply because you are constantly wondering what will happen next. Compelling and fascinating.

    This book told the story of Kirill Baryshev and Tatyana Orlova. A decade ago, they met in New-York when Tatyana was a eighteen year old college student and Kirill was ten years her senior. They were madly in love and blissfully happy until the FBI knocked on her door explaining what he was and who he was and things went so horribly wrong. Young, pregnant, scared and completely alone, Tatyana took the decision to run away. A decision she knew she would always carry with her. For years she struggled and did everything she needed to do to survive and to raise her daughter on her own, she danced and stripped to pay bills. Leaving him was a foolish thing she did out of pure fear, and the biggest regret in her life.

    Raised to be a Russian Bratva soldier, Kirill is a ruthless, rough and unapologetic powerful man. He’s now a Pakhan, the highest ranking member in his area, the boss who controls everything. For the past decade, Kirill assumed that Tatyana was dead after the police told him so. He mourned Tatyana the love of his life and what he thought was the loss of their child. When Kirill funds out that Tatyana is still alive and that she’s kept his daughter from him, denied him the ability to know and love her, he’s coming for her. Fueled by hatred and revenge, Kirill is determined to make her pay for her betrayal, for her lies and for changing their future forever, no matter what it takes. Yet his desire for her is still there, like a burning inferno, devastating and absolute.

    In the beginning I wasn't that keen on Kirill and I wanted to punch him in the face for how he treated Tatyana when she returned. His thirst for revenge causing him to lose all control. He was a total bastard to her, he was so angry making treats, continuously. One right after the other. But that didn't stop me from being drawn to his character like a moth to a flame ! His charisma and his personality was such that it was impossible not to love him.

    The guilt of keeping his daughter from him and swimming in a sea of regrets,Tatyana stood by his side ignoring her own feelings and her own worth, for the sake of their daughter and to keep their family reunited. She’s still very much in love with Kirill and even if they are now both different, and their circumstances in life changed them, Tatyana wants to find a way to bring him back to her and to obtain his forgiveness. But not everything is black and white and little does she know that Kirill has also a secret on his own. A shocking revelation he kept for himself when they were still together.

    Holy hell, the second half of the book wrecked me! Kirill redeemed himself, big time! I have to say that I was utterly delighted with these two amazing characters who were so meant to be together. To see them strip down the walls and let their true passion burn was beyond beautiful and scorching hot. Their relationship was intense, all-consuming and passionate and the steamy love scenes had my pulse racing. I loved Tatyana’s strengths and capabilities and I particularly enjoyed her maturity and the fact that she was a take no crap kind of woman. And Kirill, I could have never anticipated him being so loving, kind, and considerate, giving Tatyana the sweetest version of himself.

    And let's not forget the mafia involvement entwined into this very well-written story. There is dark mafia themes throughout with a hard edge of realism. The balance between romance and action was spot on with amazing secondary characters.
