Deadly Intentions: An age-gap mafia romance (The Bobrov Bratva Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 432 ratings

Matvei Ivanov is everything his reputation perceives.

Arrogant. Untouchable. Deadly.

He is a man who knows what he wants, and for some unfathomable reason, he wants me.

But I am not a free woman. I’m on the run, and have as many secrets as the domineeringly mysterious stranger, though you’d never guess that when I toss caution to the wind for a deal too good to be true.

I refuse to be bought… but being wholly consumed by someone convinced I deserve better doesn’t come with a price tag.

It only turns costly when I learn more than my heart is on the line.

                Shandi Boyes is a Top 10 Amazon US seller and USA Today Bestselling Author who was an avid reader for many years before she discovered the love of writing in February 2016. Her first penned novel 'Saving Noah' is a new adult rockstar romance that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last word.

                In September 2016, her focus shifted to hot alpha men in steamy contemporary reads that sizzle off the pages. Shandi's novel 'Enigma' is an award-winning story about an FBI agent and the subject she was assigned to investigate. Her men are swoon-worthy, devoted, and alpha; and her heroines are strong-willed, determined, and loveable. You should start her stories first thing in the morning, or you may not sleep.

                You will laugh and you will cry, but Shandi's characters will stay with you for a lifetime!

                  I enjoyed reading this series from the beginning to the end. Each plot kept this reader on edge wanting to know more. In the end the truth will set you free and love is unconditional and wants what it need to survive. Sadden to learn of her mother’s actions and maybe she can develop a relationship with her brother while the mother is held accountable for her evil deeds

                  I loved the other books in the Bobrov Bratva series, but this one is my favorite. Matvei is a dirty talking, over the top, jealous, possessive alpha male with a cinnamon roll heart for Natalya. Natalya is a spunky, sexy girl on the run who never thought she could be in one place long enough to fall in love until she met Matvei. They are volatile, hostile, hot, and perfect together.

                  From the first paragraph I was confused. I read it several times and only a few chapters in did I realize our MFC was typing on someone else’s phone.
                  The whole book is vague. You never understand what is going on and it takes explaining the entire plot in the last chapter for the book to make sense.
                  Our FMC is on the run with a body guard but she doesn’t change her hair or name so it’s not like she’s really hiding. She goes out wild partying she’s not trying to stay off the radar. “Stuff” happens with friends but it doesn’t add anything to the book dynamics. It’s like a word salad thats missing ingredients and the dressing. The sex scenes couldn’t keep my interest because it did nothing to add to the characters at all.

                  I love all of Shandi’s books. I’ve read them all and will continue to. However, I feel like this last series of books has been a little bit confusing. I’m waiting for the end of the book for everything to wrap up but then there’s still things hanging around out there I don’t understand. Like with this one (possible spoilers so beware) I’m still confused as to whether the first marriage was “real” or did he backdate that? Why is Natalya’s mother so horrendous? Couldn’t he have released proof that she was innocent without targeting himself? Who was the random guy in the overalls that bought the red négligée and then chocolate?

                  I have loved all these books. And this whole mafia world. This story was beautifully written like all her stories. It wasnt as dark as some but still wonderful to read. I hope their will be more mafia books to come. Hopefully maybe in Henry Gottles world. Cause he is mentioned in a LOT of books. And so he has my curiosity piqued!

                  Oh Shandi you have done it again.

                  This is such a brilliant read. Matvei and Natalya, what a story and a journey. Highs and lows, deception and unmistakable love/lust.

                  Great plot twist, not where I thought we were going, it was so much better.

                  Age gap wasn’t really noticeable, but the characters were well written. Definitely touch her and I will unalive you vibes, possessive, obsessive - all the best traits for a Bratva novel.

                  5⭐️4🌶️ these two sizzle together, loved it.

                  Unfortunately I saw this recommendation on tik tok and thought it might be promising. This is part of a series but assumed it was a standalone, I found the book very confusing and I am not sure if reading the others would have helped. I abandoned the book at about 30% and I never really understood what was going on or felt any connection with the characters, for me it was just a hot mess.
