Paved in Blood

Melnikov Bratva, Book 1

By: Sonja Grey

Narrated by: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

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.

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.

Enjoyable & Spicy 🥵

This first book was a great introduction to this series. I highly recommend reading it! The narrators were fantastic and the plot was intriguing. Worth a credit? Definitely 💯

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.

Persistence

I loved this book. The narration was so well done! I loved the twists and turns! I highly recommend this book!

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!!!

New beginnings

Bratva moved to the States and the five brothers settled down and concentrated on finding Roman stolen sister. Strong wording and sweet romance balances their life.

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

Narrators

Seriously good narrating. Good book. Kai and Wen slay every single time. They are a great pair to listen to. Accents are on point. The “spice” do be spicen’ in this one.

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. 😎
