Resumen del Editor

My gorgeous neighbor just found my box of "personal toys." And my mission to steal them back... ended in his bed.

It was supposed to be a joke: Give my best friend raunchy toys for her bridal shower and embarrass her in front of her family. But when my package is wrongly delivered to my gorgeous, mysterious neighbor, I'm the one who ends up mortified.

I sneak over to his place to try stealing it back before he finds it. The problem is I get caught mid-heist... And then he makes me stay for dinner.

Dinner leads to dessert, and dessert leads to... other dessert, if you get my drift. Several courses of sweet, sinful temptation.

In my defense, he's even more gorgeous up close than he is from my bedroom window.

When I finally get back home the next morning, I open my stolen prize. But it seems I grabbed the wrong package. And the violent mess I find inside will change my life forever.

Turns out my hot neighbor is a Russian Bratva boss with some deep, dark secrets.

Turns out he got me pregnant, too.

Midnight Purgatory is book one of the Bugrov Bratva duet. Uri and Alyssa's story continues in book two of the Bugrov Bratva duet, Midnight Sanctuary.

Good Story

My only complaint about this book was how weak the FMC was. She has no backbone what so ever and just lets this asshat say and do whatever he wants to her. I literally wanted to scream at this fictional character and tell her what an idiot she is. It does end on a cliffhanger and the next book isn’t out until July so that’s another strike. The narrators were great though.

Can't Wait for the Sequel

I typically don't like to listen to books that aren't a completed series, if that's how they are written. I like to jump right into the next one, and _Midnight Purgatory_ is a prime reason I have that personal rule. This book left such a cliffhanger, which is paradoxical since it is so good, yet so bad when you're literally left hanging for the remainder of the story.

Nicole Fox is a helluva an author because she writes the characters as deeply flawed individuals but aren't beyond saving. Just when one of them does something you believe to be unforgivable or incredibly stupid, as it were, she has them do a most wonderful, thoughtful, and redeeming act that once again brings the listener back to the land of happiness. Such is very much the case with _Midnight Purgatory_. Uri is head of a Russian Bratva who meets his neighbor, Alyssa, in a most comedic fashion. Their chemistry is palpable from the start, and I don't need to tell you where they end up fairly early in the book. There is absolutely no lacking in the steamy scenes, and I do mean that. I've noted that many of the risque scenes end up being narrated by the female, so it was rather refreshing to hear some told from the male lover's perspective.

Thankfully, the sequel, _Midnight Sanctuary_ will be released on July 2. Before I was 75% through the book, I used a credit and preordered it. I believe this to be my favorite book of Ms. Fox thus far, which leads into my second reason to be grateful. Some genius of an editor realized the talent of this author and convinced someone to give her a chance. Because of that, she has written lots of books, of which the ones I've listened to are top-notch. _Midnight Purgatory_ is just phenomenally special. While we wait with bated breath for the conclusive story, there are a plethora of books written by Nicole Fox to keep our fires stoked and hot in the meantime.

Bottom line: Still reading my little ol' book review? Sweet of you, but just go get it already and may your daydreams be as sweet as mine.

Love URI!

My favorite book so far. Great story from the beginning to the end. Looking forward to book two now. This book was over eleven hours long and I enjoyed every minute . Both characters are amazing. Female character is a real heroine, loved her. Loved the way URI tried to stay away from her but couldn’t. Fabulous read! Narrators were outstanding!

Bratva

Great characters, well written storyline, suspense till the end and looking forward to the second episode

Ugh! Just no!

Why do people like this book?? First of all the dialog is just not believable. You might think you’ve finally gotten past the poor writing, but no. It’s eye-rolling again. I can’t even with the FmC. She’s rude even before she’s his prisoner! Why not just go up to the door and ask for your package like a normal person?? And also, when he buys you a whole new (expensive) wardrobe, say thank you! Sheesh! I do want to say that the subplot with Lev is extremely well done. But not enough to make me want to listen to the next book.

DNF

Character build was good. Performances were great. Attempt at building angst was poor-boring and unbelievable need to keep her safe. I quit this book at chapter 50. It needs better editing because I lost interest several chapters prior to. Steamy scenes fall a bit flat between the H/h. Who’s in charge? Her or him? Him or his older brother? Completely unbelievable that this is the head ( or any part of a ) Bratva. Could’ve used the millionaire trope and would have fit much better. The guy is NOT an antihero!
Just needed a lot more editing and feedback to make it a better novel overall.
