Savage Vow

Ivanov Crime Family, Book 1

By: Zoe Blake

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson, Tor Thom

I took her innocence as payment. She was far too young and naïve to be betrothed to a monster like me.

I would bring only pain and darkness into her sheltered world. That's why she ran.

I should've just let her go. She never asked to marry into a powerful Russian mafia family. None of this was her choice.

Unfortunately for her, I don't care. I own her, and after three years of searching, I've found her. My runaway bride was about to learn disobedience has consequences...punishing ones.

Having her in my arms and under my control had become an obsession. Nothing was going to keep me from claiming her before the eyes of God and man.

She's finally mine now, and I'm never letting her go.

If you like dark forced submission books this is for you!! I loved everything about this book. If you have triggers this is not for you. If you like dark and gritty HEA like me it’s a must read/listen. I rarely ever find books that I can’t put down and checks all the boxes of what I love. This one did, now excuse me while I dive into the rest of the series!!!!

Female narration

Female narration was to whiny. Went from hate to love to quickly. Male narration good.

I adore this series and this book is fantastic.

Keep them coming Zoe! I could read a hundred books in this series and not get bored!

Excellent

My first book of this kind, listened to the whole book in one day. Can’t wait for my next credit ms so I can get the next book

Great start to the series

I can always count on Zoe Blake for an intriguing storyline. I love her dark mafia world she has created and the characters. I listened to this book on audio.
performance: 4/stars; story: 4.25/stars; overall 4/stars.

TW/18+ forced arranged marriage

Breath Taking Story....but,

Savage Vow was a breathtaking story but it had its drawbacks... first of all the narrators were on point, but the characters were leaving me wanting. Samara got on my last nerve with her attitude and constant fighting and bickering. Gregor, being the headstrong, controlling man that he was could have been a mafia saint to put up with all the bull that Samara was spewing considering that she grew up in the mafia lifestyle. so it wasn't like she didn't know the ins and outs . her mother and father were just trash!! especially her greedy, gold digging mother! if Samara had given in way before the end of the story, I could have seen so many of her problems disappearing. she may have been afraid of Gregor just because of his demeanor and the looks that he was giving her, but if she hadn't been so much in her head and having it always been all about her and not looking around to what was actually happening, I think I could have enjoyed her more with her quick wit. I Guess I have to move on to the next book in this series to get that sense of completion in my heart to give a better review... on to Vicious Oath! See you guys soon 👋🏽💜

Highly recommended

Loved the story, and the narration. I am definitely going to listen the the rest of the series.

Love. Story or suspense

Why little too much spanking with no follow thru explanation. Otherwise good story. A little confusing at th end.

Samara and Gregor

This book was so good. I love Zoe Blake's writing style. After Gregor told Samara they were getting married in two weeks, she decided to run away with her friend Yelena. I think the young women were out of their league when they tried to escape. Gregor did not give up even after searching for three years. Things got interesting after they were caught. At times, Samara could be very annoying but in her defense, Gregor did not give her all the facts about how much danger she was in. Samara's father was a dog and her mother was not much better. I love that some of the men from the Ruthless Obsession series is in this book. I cannot wait for the next book to come to Audible. Hollie Jackson and Tor Thom were great. They did an awesome job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Great story

Female narrator is not suitable for the story. Too whiny and extremely exaggerating for the wrong reasons. Make narrator is great!
