Publisher's summary

I spent the night with a stranger….

Who got me pregnant….

And turned out to be my boss….

Whoops, sorry, did I say “boss”? I meant a mob boss.

To be fair, I didn’t know he was my boss when I slept with him. I thought he was just the kind stranger offering me a place to stay. But one night in Misha Orlov’s hotel room got me way more than I bargained for.

It got me champagne that tasted like starlight.
Satin sheets as soft as a dream.
And a man with silver eyes who showed me how it felt to come undone.

And then, in the morning…
He was gone.

That’s fine: I needed to get my life together anyway.
After all, my ex-not-quite-husband (it’s a long story) just emptied all our bank accounts and disappeared, taking my home and my money and my job with him.
So I’m starting from a blank slate.

I find myself a new apartment.
A new job.
And I put both Misha and my husband behind me.

At least, I thought I did.
Until Day 1 of orientation.
When I learn that Misha Orlov is my new boss.

That’s bad enough.
What’s worse is what came next.
A car crash.
A doctor’s appointment.
And two pieces of unsettling news.

Congratulations, the doctor says. You’re pregnant.
Congratulations, Misha says. You and I are getting married.

Champagne Venom is Book One of the Orlov Bratva duet. Misha and Paige’s story concludes in Book 2, Champagne Wrath.

That cliffhanger is no joke

The female narrator did phenomenal, I had a harder time connecting with the male voice but the story was still compelling, my first read by this author.

Plot twist

This is a great book. The characters are funny esp the number 2. Unexpected twists and turn. Great narration.

Great book

This book was really good I didn’t want to put it down. Highly recommend this book.

Love the story line

I would definitely recommend this book!
Can't wait to read the next one..well listen to

Same as others said…

I can’t get through the book… the narrator voices don’t fit these characters … it’s so bad that I can’t finish listening. I made it to chapter 8 of 111!

So Awesome!!!

Love the story, love the characters, love the narration! There are some really great s3xy times, but not overdone.

However, the FMC spent waaaaay too much time being a b!tch when the MMC was trying to work on their relationship for the majority of the book. That being said, it’s still pretty great.

It’s a cliffy, but that’s implied since it’s a duet. I’m looking forward to book 2! And I’m not one who just blindly goes on in a series just because. I’m genuinely excited!

Definitely worth the credit!

uugg trying but no

having a hard time finishing this. I cannot connect with male narrator and the female narrator is good with voices and maybe it's the character she is portraying but hers and that if the male narrators (bland and almost monotone) tone is not helping me to connect with the characters. I hated the wasted credit.. I will be finishing this book and the next on Kindle books.

Such a great story

Great story. Wish it had more spicy content and the narrators switched back and forth instead of the woman trying to sound like a guy vs versa

the male reader is not convincing

please have another person voice misha. the current reader sounds like the clear eyes guy

Damn what a story!

I was hooked on this book from page 1. I love mafia love stories, but sometimes they can be boring. This one does not disappoint. There is so much drama and feeling for the characters. Micha is one of those men who thinks, if you don’t get close, you can avoid heartbreak, but just like a man, he would be wrong. There’s no way to cut off that part of yourself, it’s what makes you human. Paige is a naive character who has a heart of gold and has put herself through the wringer to get close to Micha, just to get pushed away. Thank goodness the second book is out, because the ending was nuts and you will need to know what happens. The narrators are great in bringing these characters to life. I also love the side characters and how they include Paige.
