About this listen
I'll walk through hell to be with him, even if the path is paved in blood.
Emily
Roman Melnikov is a deadly man in an expensive suit. I know what lies beneath the façade—the scars and tattoos that hint at the man he really is.
He came here to find his sister, and his search led him to my dad and his friends. We both want to take them down, and the only way to do that is together.
I had no idea how dangerous it would be, or that by the end of it, we'd all be covered in blood.
Loving Roman is dangerous, but I can't let him go. His path is leading him straight to hell, and it looks like I'm coming along for the ride.
Roman
The plan was simple: bring our Bratva to America, find the scum who took my sister, and kill them all.
Then I met Emily, the daughter of the enemy, and I can't let her go. She's everything I'm not—sweet, innocent, good. Far too good for someone like me, but I can't stay away, and now she's a part of this.
Change of plans: The only way to keep her safe is to keep her by my side… or on her knees. To everyone else, she's my pet, the woman who belongs to me. To me, she's everything—the woman who owns every part of me.
I will do anything to keep her safe, and together we're going to paint this city red.
Paved in Blood is a steamy dark Bratva romance and the first book in the Melnikov Bratva five-book series. Each book will feature a different brother and his complete love story, but to enjoy the overarching story, listen in order. For mature listeners.

Story
You know the story where the hero comes in and saves the day, rescuing the heroine right in the nick of time? This isn't that story. Instead of a knight in shining armor, he's a sexy, tatted-up Bratva boss with a reputation for being brutal and fierce. Vasily finds me after I've already been brought to my lowest—broken by cruel men until I barely recognize myself. He doesn't offer me salvation. He offers me protection and revenge. And I gladly take it. Because I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a villain who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.

Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters. I obeyed. I played my part. I signed my name and gave away my life. I became their living, breathing trophy, a constant symbol of their power over us. That was five years ago. Then came the time for him to claim me. For Salvatore Benedetti to own me. I had vowed vengeance. I had learned hate. And yet, nothing could have prepared me for the man who now ruled my life.

Story
Our first meeting was at a nightclub, and it was something straight out of my most romantic fantasies. My ovaries exploded at the sight of the Russian God. And by God, I mean he was ripped, tall, dark, and deadly attractive. There were enough sparks between us to light up a city. Then an explosion blasted through the nightclub, and we got trapped together for three hours, sharing our most personal details...everything but our names. Two years later, our second meeting is the complete opposite of the first. It's clear Misha Petrov, a Russian enforcer for the bratva, despises me.

Lev Zarkov is a real-life monster. No, correction, he's actually the devil. Except, when I first meet him, he's simply the mysterious, handsome man traveling next to me on a first-class flight to New York. And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think, why not? Surely, I deserve one night to forget. I mean, where's the harm in a little indulgence, right?

A dangerous Bratva mobster walked in on me... As I was getting my Brazilian wax. And now, I'm pregnant. Okay, I know that's a lot for one day, but bear with me. It all started when I got kidnapped by "Mr. I Ooze Danger" I just told you about. There's a lot more to Timur Yakov than just oozing danger. Sure, he's a 6-foot-4 mass of broody arrogance. Sure, his gaze could pierce through ice, and his body deserves a standing ovulation. Excuse me… ovation! But Timur is haunted by demons. Demons that could easily crush me and tear my heart to shreds.

Ten years ago, a one-night stand got me pregnant and disappeared. Now, he's standing on my doorstep. And he's not leaving until I let him in. But even if I wanted to, I can't. And even if I could, I wouldn't. Because Konstantin Aminoff is a world of danger, and my life has plenty of that as it is. I've got a possessive addict for an ex and a creepy lurker for a landlord. I've got an agent who's sick of me and a former boss who's trying to ruin me. Most of all, I've got a nine-year-old son who needs me to be his mother.

I'm locked in a cage in my wedding dress. How did I end up here? Three days ago, I was a normal girl living a normal life. My adoptive parents came over to my apartment for dinner, just like they do every week. But this time, they brought bombshells. They tell me I'm not who they said I was. And all those dance lessons, those etiquette classes? They weren't just for show. They were to groom me. To mold me into what I'm about to become—the forced wife of a don. Then, with my jaw on the floor, they opened the door and let the nightmares in.

Loved it!
This book had all the elements that make a great audio book! These brothers-by-choice quickly burrowed themselves into my heart. Their banter was witty, funny and just heartwarming. Emily is the kind of FMC I like-strong, independent and engaging. Her and Roman’s connection was intense and beautiful. Sonja Grey hit this one out of the park in my opinion! Couldn’t hit pause. Narration was spot on as well. It’s going in my “favorites” for sure.

Well written with some spice
The story has a second story about his sister. I thought it should have consumed him more - he was kinda nonchalant about it??

Great Listen/Read
The first book in the Melnikov Bratva series and the second series that I have read by Sonja Grey and OMG I loved it. Roman and Emily were wonderful. Emily was just sassy enough and Roman was so caring and protective but he would also kill if necessary.

Excellent Plot
Absolutely loved the H & h. The secondary characters were amazing and each enhanced the story. My only tiny complaint is I wish it was read by the authors previous voice actors. But still an absolute must listen. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Very intriguing
I really liked this so much! The writing is amazing and the performance was great. There was spiciness and mystery and I love that it left room for the next books to either continue as the other characters or continue with Emily and Roman. Definitely recommend

Serious 5!
I hardly EVER give “5” across the board ratings but, I thoroughly enjoyed the pace, point and performances. No need to wonder if I’m moving on to the next book. 😎
