Nina:
Charming, captivating, and seductive,
And a cold-blooded killer.
But I married the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva anyway.
I had to. It was part of the deal.
Now, I’m faking marital bliss,
As I tremble with fear,
And I cannot wait to be out of the clutches of this ruthless man.

Roman:
I get anything I desire.
And I want this perfectly imperfect little manipulator.
The way she can deceive anyone into believing she’s crazy in love with me,
Just makes me want her even more.
She doesn’t know it yet,
But I am not letting her go.
The deal – is off.

*Painted Scars is a full-length novel with several open-door steamy scenes, no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
This is the first book in Perfectly Imperfect dark mafia series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.

          LOVED!! Fave Lines: 1.“Your father would never kill a man because of me, you know.”

          “Well, that’s a good thing, Mom.”

          “No, honey. It isn’t,” she says and leaves the apartment. 2. “I will be killing anyone who dares to hurt you,” I whisper. “I will just make sure you don’t find out next time.” 3. “She’ll never have a boyfriend with your crazy self around, Roman.”

          “Of course, she will. When she is fifty.” I move my hand behind our bodies to place my palm over Nina’s stomach. “I love you so much.”

                4/5 liked the diaglogues and writing style although given my reading history, I think I needed more plot, suspense, action and smut. But good. I need to see what happens to maxim

                                    Unique! I loved it! Just my style. I love stories about the mafia and their strong, not bred to cute bosses. 5 stars well deserved. I literally read it in 1 day. You damage in one breath and you don't want it to stop!!!! She is awesome! Neva writes beautifully and I continue there with the rest of the series.

                                        Wished that there was a beter brother hond between Roman and Sergei. Or more interaction between the two. It’s was barely mentioned that they were half brothers. There was barely any brother connection or relationship between the two. And after reading Sergei’s book I wished it was mentioned how Roman felt about mowing he had a brother. Or at least that they both cared for each other. It felt more like Roman saw Sergei like a soldier and Sergei saw Roman as his Pakhan. Also it felt in this book as of Roman had given up on Sergei, he mentioned that Sergei was a lost case and only being his half brother kept him alive. Which is all kinds of fucked up.

                                        But in Sergei’s book Roman was more involved and it felt as if he had not given up on Sergei. I just don’t know if it came from brotherly love or his responsibility of a pakhan. It felt to me like was a missed opportunity by the author. This does not take nothing away from Romans book. But had to mentioned it because it somehow bothered me after reading Sergei’s book.

                                          Loved 🥰 it! They are so cute together. Roman was able to be himself with Nina. Able to share his insecurities when always thought not to. That shows that he trust and loved her. Nina was able to surpass her trauma and it’s because he loved he enough to respect her boundaries. I laughed at her attics and his responses to them. Was mad when she left after promising not to. But all-in-all I liked this story immensely.

                                            Trash trash trash.... weak ass male lead and I don't mean the wheelchair.. weak ass female lead..for a mafia/bratva novel this was just a sappy romance novel.
                                            The man is insecure half the book and the girl is just annoying.
