She’s my captive.
My prisoner.
I will make her talk.

The bratva put a gun in my hand at age thirteen. Gave me freedom, a sense of belonging, and the family I never had.

There’s no way I’m going to let this slip of a woman harm my boss.
No matter how beautiful she is.
How beguiling.
How painfully fragile.

Hurting a woman, however, is not possible.
So I’ll find other ways to torture her. Other, far more pleasing ways.
And in the end, my little prisoner will reveal all her secrets.
In the end: she will be mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gatekeeper (Chicago Bratva 9_
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024

In The Gatekeeper, Renee Rose brings closure to the Chicago Bratva series. It chronicles the romantic journey of Kira and Maykl. It started years ago when both were 13. Maykl as part of his initiation into the Moscow Bratva is ordered to kill her father. Years later in Chicago, Destiny brings them together. Now, Maykl is the gatekeeper for the Chicago Bratva. Kira is a Russian police officer. Her sister, who was collateral for her fathers debts dies in Chicago. Kira comes to claim her body. Her commanding officer gave her an assignment—infiltrate the Kremlin. As she makes contact, she meets Maylk. There is a chemistry between them. Soon she is his prisoner in his apartment. Will they act on their feelings for each other? Can Kira reconcile to the truth that has been kept from her? Will the Moscow Bratva cell, that is manipulating her strings be successful? To find out you must read this book.
I like that Ms Rose uses this character driven plotline to give her lead characters a second chance in life. Ms. Rose incorporates suspense and intrigue through the Chicago Bratva. Readers witness the evolution of both lead characters. I like how Ms. Rose creates multi-dimensional lead characters and how she uses secondary characters to create a pseudo family unit supporting the main characters. Ms. Rose uses dialog and a dual point of view to build a palpable romantic tension. Her descriptive language creates vivid scenes. Nicely done.

Kira has traveled from Russia to Chicago to claim the body of her dead sister and find her young nephew. She’s also helping the FBI take down a local cell of the Bratva. When she seduces their head of security to gain access to the Bratva compound, she never guesses she’ll fall in love with the gatekeeper to the whole cell. When her boss from the Russian police shows up, she’ll have to decide who she can trust and whose side she’s on if she plans on being happy.

The Gatekeeper jumps right into the action and doesn’t stop. We have an established world built at the Kremlin, the characters are richly drawn, and the story is a good one. I love how Kira and Maykl have been connected since they were thirteen even though neither knew it. The part of the story dealing with Kira’s nephew was good, and I thought it resolved nicely. All in all, The Gatekeeper is a satisfying conclusion to the Chicago Bratva series.

Even though it’s book nine in the series, you can read The Gatekeeper as a standalone, but you’ll enjoy it more if you read the whole series. You’ll get to know all of the characters and their stories. Read and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss!

Another great read from Renee Rose. It started a little slowly for me but it really came together. Mikyl and Kira were a wonderful couple together.

I read the entire series. I wish there were more stories about these characters. This particular story was very good. Intense, suspenseful, sad, and happy were all the emotions felt while reading this. Recommend reading this book and all the others in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Fast Paced and Unbelievable
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

Spoilers Ahead! So I’m a fan of this author, and I like this series and the Tacone series. But this book really fell flat for me. Despite being an insta love book, it was so fast paced that the timeline was unrealistic. Kira is a Russian police officer who goes to America in search of her nephew. When she finds out he could be with the bratva, she decides on a whim to go undercover and seduce her way into the bratva. I’m sorry what?? Her boss encourages it immediately, doesn’t really ask any questions and she doesn’t find this suspicious at all. She’s bad at the seduction and basically seduces Makyl the first couple hours there. If you were going undercover you would think you would try to play a longer game and be a bit sneakier. Makyl is suspicious and finds her out very quickly. He tells Ravil, there’s a raid on the building that they’re able to stop. She’s Makyl’s prisoner for maybe a week, and suddenly they love each other. Then in the end when she finally finds her nephew, she spends 5 minutes talking to him before leaving to seek revenge on her boss. And then he’s not mentioned again! This book was really frustrating and was almost a DNF for me. It felt very very rushed, and the heroine’s ineptitude and gullibility (especially for someone who is supposed to be a cop) was annoying. I also feel like the dialogue and writing in this book wasn’t as smooth as the other books either and was choppy and awkward in places. I feel like this book had so much potential and it just didn’t hit the mark.

Maykl is just thirteen when he kills a man that tried to cheat his Bratva organization. This was his initiation to the Bratva. Kira was a young teenager who witnessed the Bratva taking her seventeen year old sister to use as they please to pay back their father’s debt.
Kira’s sister has a son and ends up in Chicago with her Bratva boyfriend. This boyfriend ends up dead. Kira is notified that her sister has died and she leaves Russia to make arrangements. Kira’s boss(Russian police) seemingly supports her.
He gets her to infiltrate the Chicago Bratva and work for the FBI to bring them down by telling her the FBI will find her nephew.
Kira meets Maykl and he is helping her to take care of her sister’s arrangements. This story has fast page turning action and I could not put it down. The Gatekeeper is a great suspenseful conclusion to an exciting series. Renee Rose is a fantastic author and I can’t wait to read more of her work!

Spoilers:
It got progressively more annoying-starting with how easy she could get around, to him not even telling anyone or doing anything when the truth got out.
Luckily Renee didn’t let that nonsense go on for too long and saved it just in time.
I guess it wasn’t the easiest storyline to write, but not my favourite book in the series.
