Vicious Oath: A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance (Ivanov Crime Family Book 2) Kindle Edition
There's only one rule in my dangerous world of power and greed. Obey me. She broke it.
When an innocent little minx gets in over her head and causes chaos within my organization, I put her under my protection of my powerful Russian mafia family…for a price, of course.
From the way she responds to my kiss, I assume she was willing to pay it.
So imagine my anger when she disappears into the night before I can claim my full payment.
For three long years now, I’ve been on her trail, always one step behind.
Finding and claiming her had become an obsession.
She’s too smart for her own good, and it’s going to get her killed.
So when I finally track her down, I want a great deal more than just her body.
The chase is over, and this time, my protection is going to cost her everything.
I plan to make it official, even if I have to drag her kicking and screaming to the altar.
I won't be satisfied until she is my wife, and under my complete control.
This time… there will be no escape.

Review
It's a cat and mouse game. SO MUCH SEXUAL TENSION. This book was pure fire. - The Book Platypus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The romance is hot along with the plot, which moves at lighting speed into a roller coaster ride you don't want to get off of. Download and enjoy. - ❤️❤️ ❤️ Nancy R., Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vicious Oath is seriously my favorite Zoe Blake novel yet!! This book is absolutely wonderful and the story had me gripped until the very end. There was just SO much chemistry between Yelena and Damian. Intel Chicky Reads Romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I knew I was gonna love Yelena from the first book in the series, she's a proper firecracker and loves to push Damien's buttons. She's sassy but she's smart, and she knows how to stay one step ahead, but Damien is determined Demon Damien did not disappoint in this book either! He set his sights on what he wanted and nothing was going to get him to give up, and the fact that Yelena fights back makes it even more fun for him. Zoe-Amelia Harris, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Holy hell this book was freaking amazing! Zoe Blake has given me everything I have ever wanted in a kickass heroine! I absolutely lost it when Damien called Yelena his badass baby doll! I freaking loved it! Deanna, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Damien and Yelena... OMG what a couple! Yelena is such a scrawny kick ass firecracker. I think all little girls should aspire to be as awesome as she is. Damien is a lot of mouthwatering, scarily sexy Russian hotness that you can't help but root for in his chase of his love. Seeing these two come together and kept me on my toes the whole way through. Mari, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another great possessive mafia romance! Damien and Yelena fought with a passion that was entertaining to read. She gave as good as he took. Amber, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the Inside Flap
With a swift tug, he propelled my body forward, sending me crashing into his arms. It was like hitting a brick wall. Grasping his shoulders for purchase, I still couldn't stop the momentum and slid down until my knees hit the padded bench. Now all I had to do was tilt my head upwards for my mouth to be only inches from his....
Time stood still.
I cried out and tried to escape.
Damien leaned in close, his lips caressing my ear as he whispered in a low soothing voice, "Shhh...malyshka. I won't hurt you. Not if you give me what I want."

- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025I love this series and all the push and pull of these couples relationships. I especially appreciate Yelena being a strong force of nature physically and mentally. Emotionally she is vulnerable which causes havoc. Great work!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2022Yelena has been on the run🏃♀️ for years and Damien loves the chase. She is smart, cunning, and beautiful . She's an independent badass that will knife you, shoot you, or brick you 🤣 . I love her and damien's story😍. He is obsessively possessive but you could tell he really wanted to protect her and she was special to him from the start . Their romance was very entertaining because they both have strong personalities and Yelena had some reluctant feelings too but wouldn't give in to his demands fearing he would hurt her like everyone else. The storyline was fast paced almost too fast with their affections because Damien went from some feelings of possession and obsession on his part and confused feelings on her part to desperately in love in like two days. Overall it was good and it read almost like a novela because finished it in no time.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2024Vicious Oath is a heart-pumping, intense ride! Damien and Yelena's story is a twisted tale of fear, passion, and obsession. Their connection is explosive, with a passion that's both volatile and fiery.
Twists and turns keep you on the edge, racing to the finish. Zoe Blake's writing is smashing, crafting characters that leap off the page. If you're looking for a romantic suspense that has Russian Mafia vibes look no further! 🤓
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024Love this series. The Ivanov brothe
rs are soooo intense. Can't wait to read Nadia's story. Hot, hot, hot sex and HEA.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2024Damien & Yelena, their story was certainly an emotional one. She has felt unloved since her mum died. Damien has always sensed something about her and when he sees her, all grown up, he goes into full on bossy mode. She runs!
Fast forward three years…he’s found her. She’s taken by a monster, Damien comes to the rescue. No more spoilers.
An emotional read, softer than some of the other books that this author has written. Bossy male, strong female and a swoon worthy romantic ending
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023The storyline is great, the connection between the lovers is fantastic, but if I have to read one more overly descriptive sentence on clothes, homes, or interiors I will be done with this author. All that filler takes away from the rhythm of the story and has the reader getting lost in useless factoids that do nothing to enhance the storyline.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024I absolutely loved Yelena’s spirit and fight. She gave as good as she got. A complete badass that finds her happily ever after. Love it
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021Ahhh… I love a good chase. Tell me that there’s chasing in a book and I am there; that’s probably why I love enemies-to-lovers or opposites attract so much LOL (especially when there’s forced kissing/h runs away/H runs after her/maybe some slapping and hair grabbing too lol). This had chasing in spades.
Yelena is 18 along with her two best friends Samara and Nadia. On Nadia’s 18th birthday, Damien confronts Yelena and lets her know that he knows about her betting schemes. She’s managed to earn a lot of money in a short account of time because she’s figured out the algorithms to win. Her life is in danger because other organizations are figuring out what she’s doing, which means that she’s causing them to lose money. Damien tells her that he can protect her, but Yelena doesn’t want his protection; she wants to do things on her own. He has a… um… very SENSUAL way of convincing her 🥵🔥. I mean… I was here for it 👏🏻. You convince her Damien- with your spanking, your hands, your um… tongue 😉. Shoot… you can convince me too 💁🏻♀️ lol. Annnnd… he also takes care of her good-for-nothing abuser 👏🏻. Although he thinks he’s got her in the bag, he’s wrong lol. Let the chasing begin 😈.
She meets up with the girls and decides that they need to run away, well just her and Samara. For three years, they evade organizations after her as well as Nadia‘s brothers, Damien and Gregor. Damien wants Yelena, and he’s willing to chase her as long as he needs to.
I looooove that he stays celibate for the three years he’s away from Yelena. How often does that happen??? Not very 💁🏻♀️ points for Damien 👏🏻. When he finally finds her, it was explosive. So much pent-up energy, so much pent-up tension, and there’s really only one way for him to expel it 😈🥵🔥. Now this is where he finds out that she’s still a v… um… the ol’ fashioned way 😉. He’s “sweet” enough to stop once he realizes it, but soon after (cause he has to get her to adjust a little bit) he remedies it 🔥.
Yelena is FEISTY, which I loved! She took self-defense classes and is willing to fight anyone physically, plus, she’s smart enough to get out a tight situation, including when she’s handcuffed or tied up. I was on the way to 5 star this read… until towards the end…
SPOILERS- she’s had sex ONE time, and Damien decides to punish her by smexxxing her in her forbidden area? 🤔ugh. This irritated me! At least let it be a few times in 😂😅. I’m ALL for an H bulldozing his way into the h’s life and forcing her to marry him- but when he does it (and he doesn’t listen to her concerns) and she explains why she doesn’t want to, I felt a little emotional about it 🥺we don’t see it and then the book is ending. Does he grovel? Kind of 😬🤔. I wished it had been drawn out more… I DO like that she made him work for it, but I wanted to SEE it more. Umph.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I loooove when the h fights the H, and she did it- A LOT 😈😅🥵😉🔥. I mean, she stabbed him and hit him with a brick 💁🏻♀️😂😂😂. And yet, he still ends up grabbing her after 🥵😉. Also- gah- I love how he appreciates her likes and learns more about them. Like her horoscope connection, her love of fashion, even her happy meal toys (well, this is really more nostalgic). He learns and adapts and tries to please her. I loved that! Plus, he calls her baby/baby girl/Angel/beautiful etc 🥰.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starts off strong!
So if you’re familiar with dark romance, you know that some novels don’t actually get to the intimate scenes Until halfway through the book. This author Gets to them pretty quickly, Which I do appreciate! Read if you enjoy belt play and stern corporal punishment themes.
- AlfiyaReviewed in India on March 22, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Best storyline
I have read 2 series of Zoe Blake's books and this is the best. I loved how heroine had a spine she fought so hard for her freedom and gave such a tough time to Damien and oh my god Damien is perfection. If I have to rank this comes 1st and 2nd favourite is the book 6 from ruthless obsession series.
- thereadinggenie61Reviewed in Australia on November 3, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling tension!
I loved the banter and sizzling tension between Yelena and Damien. They were a perfect match for each other. Lots of suspense throughout keeping the reader on their toes. A dark spicy mafia romance so expect morally grey main characters who don’t follow societal rules. Check TW.
This book is probably my favourite out of all of Zoe Blake’s mafia series. 🥰
- IreneReviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting
A good second book in the Ivanova series Damien the younger brother and enforcer for the family he is ruthless and brutal to anyone that crosses them but does have a softer side he is stubborn and totally Alpha who knows what he wants and goes after it. Yellena is his sister Nadia's friend she has had a rough life at the hands of her step father but it made her tough and determined she and another friend run for lives and avoid the Ivanovs for three years but eventually get found and then the fun starts. Damien wants her and she gives him the runaround and does not make it easy for him she is sexy feisty and sassy and constantly surprises him. This is a good read with lots of surprises and a few surprising moments from Yellena.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read - engrossing
The author did justice to the character, especially Yelena. I loved her. Looking forward to the 3rd book of the series...
Though, not sure whether I or the author missed, I was waiting for the part where Yenela would put a hand written note to Samara as stated in the first book.
