ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 23, 2024

Ten years ago, Vadim Ivanov broke my heart.
Now he’s back. Bringing death and chaos with him.

VADIM

Hearing Kesera’s voice on the radio makes me want her. But wanting a woman won’t help me win a mafia war, especially not the mother of my child. I can’t expose them to the violence in my world. Love makes you vulnerable. It’s a luxury I can’t afford.

She needs to disappear, even if she takes my heart with her a second time.

KESERA

I spent a decade searching for a man who didn’t want to be found. I learned to fight my own battles and bring up our daughter like her father never existed. Now he thinks he can tell me what to do. I don’t take orders, even from a mafia boss.

Even if he’s the man I love. Can love survive odds like this?

REVIEW:Brutal Secrets is an emotional roller coaster filled with drama, spice and all the Daddy vibes. For all the mafia lovers out there, this will be right up your alley. The storyline moves a little slow at first, but as the plot develops, the pace does pick up.

Kasera is a singer, living a normal-ish life, trying to get through to the next day without being seen. After a set one night, her skeezy manager makes a move on her and doesn’t take no for an answer. Enter in Vadim.

Vadim works for the Russian Mafia as hired muscle, on the night of a special event, he is starstruck by the voice of an angel. It does something to his soul that he has never experienced before, and he wants to hear more of it. While he is out on his run of the property, he sees the owner of the voice (Sera) being harassed, and does what he does best. Protect. He whisks her away to safety where they spend the weekend together.

Alas, a good book always has a twist. Sera had to return to the states and now ten years later she is searching for Vadim again with their ten year old daughter in tow. A whole lot of crazy happiness when Sera does finally find, he is not the same man she fell in love with all those years ago.

Honestly this book was a little difficult to follow at first, it moved a little slowly to start, but once it does finally get going, boy oh boy does it go. Brutal Secrets is an intense, romantic suspense, mafia trope that is sure to keep its readers engaged and entertained.

Reviewed by Sarah

Raven Carlyle likes her coffee black and her hero’s souls just as dark.

She writes mafia romance about tortured alphas and the women who crack their hearts wide open. Starting in Moscow, she takes the reader to underground worlds and explores the web of their sinister, seductive, psychos.

She may live in Tokyo with her family, but she travels the world of books.
