Corrupted Innocence: A Dark Mafia Romance (Innocent Brides Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 3,924 ratings

He wouldn't take my money. He wanted my innocence instead.

When Nikolai Romanov came looking for my brother, I emptied my savings hoping I could pay off his debt. But I didn't have even close to enough, so the bastard decided to take me instead.

I didn't expect a Russian mafia boss like him to be gentle with me... and he wasn't.

Not when he spanked me for daring to wear panties under the dress he chose for me, and certainly not when he stripped me out of that same dress and made me scream in his bed.

He told me I would be his for a month, but the way he looks at me says I'm his forever...

Publisher's Note: Corrupted Innocence is a stand-alone novel which is the first book of the Innocent Brides series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

    This is a very cute, very fast beginning of the Innocent Bride series. It’s told dual POV with an epilogue into the future.
    Nikolai is the youngest of the 3 sons of the group. He focuses mainly on building business and securing his father’s future. Fate intervenes when he finds out that some guys are going to collect a debt from Oliver Harrison.
    Charlotte, or Charlie, is Oliver’s little sister. Sh3 finds out the day before that her brother owes a lot of money to the Bratva. Since she’s the one running and investing into the deli her Dad established, she doesn’t have that much. She gives what she has and has it ready the next day when the guys come to collect.
    Sparks and heat fly between Nikolai and Charlotte. Their story is a quick pace with some background action. Several characters are on the side that make it complete. Definitely worth the read 💜

    Nikolai and Charlotte take you on interesting read, full of emotions, action, a few spankings, and more. I was pulled right in, and I can't wait for more. I'm glad I found this author.

    This is a must read, two strong willed characters yet there is spice, chemistry is off the charts, fast paced but has that element of respect along with it. He is dominant yet respectful. Mentions of family drama but loyal friendships. No other women or men. this story was in a way mellow compared to the rest I read, the hallmark version of a possessive male who loves his female even before they use the word love. The ending was wonderful and gives good closure.

    Overall I thought the book was decent and was well written with good flow. What I didn’t appreciate was physical abuse being portrayed as acceptable and for the female character to act like that should be normal acceptable behavior. Whipping someone with a belt until they’re covered in welts to punish them is ABUSE!!!! I don’t understand how people can acts like it’s ok???? Also it was cringeworthy and disturbing that he thought it would be acceptable to threaten to beat her with a belt to get her to do what he wants and control her what she does and when she does it!!!! Like literally he wanted to whip her because he felt she as going to bed too late?!?!? Like , WTF!!!!

    I can’t remember if this is my 1st or 2md book by Measha Stone but I CAN remember that this one was GREAT!! Our H was super näughty and Alpha. The mafia boss without a care in the world. Then our h was brave and strong with a huge heart. Always putting others 1st.
    She took on the Russian family to save her brother who did not appreciate her, at all! However the match turned out to be s smokin’ 🥵 one. I mean the smüt was oh so yummy and the story itself was intriguing. The side characters where fleshed out a bit and o became invested in them too.
    All in all I flew through this book pretty darned quickly. With the other character development I can’t wait to jump into the next book!

    Really that’s all I have to say… OMG! I was sucked in by the first few pages and stayed firmly seated until the last page was read! This dark mafia romance has it all, steam passion, suspense, “mafia” dealings, family issues, etc. and Charlie and Nikolai (tossing out a Chefs Kiss) – they are fantastic! Oliver, well he can just kick rocks!
    Would definitely recommend this book!

    Really loved this book. The story flows brilliantly. Loved the dynamic between the characters. Been looking for good steamy love stories with actual story line for a while and this book delivers on all fronts. Just perfect. Definitely worth the read. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

    I’m a huge fan of Measha Stone’s work and Corrupted Innocence does not disappoint. The characters are well developed. The storyline is interesting and engaging with a nice flow. There is enough steaminess to make you blush without distracting from the overall story. Highly recommend reading.

    Reviewed in Brazil on November 28, 2022
    The book was good. A good plot, but the belt obsession did not appealed me, but overall it’s was hot and the tension was amazing. The FMC was strong with opinion and did not just did what she was told.
    Nikolai you as nice, I liked him.
    But for me what earned 4 stars was the FMC personality!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Russian Mafia romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2025
    I enjoyed reading this story. Book 1 in the Innocent Brides series. I liked both main characters, there was a bit of family drama from both sides. Russian Mafia romance, what’s not to like. Charlie puts herself up as payment for her brother’s debt. It had a good storyline, I wouldn’t say particularly dark but it was enjoyable and has lots of sexy scenes throughout.
