ARC Review: Wicked Boss by Willow Fox

My review: ⭐

My review for book 1 ➡ Brutal Boss

This is book 2 in the Bratva Brothers series. Willow does say it’s a standalone and it is, but I find it’s best to read in order. The characters from the 1st book are heavily involved here and it just makes the story more enjoyable having already met Madisyn and Mikhail.

One night, 3 years earlier, Hannah and Luka met a bar and enjoyed a night together. That one night resulted in an adorable baby girl, Bay. Hannah tries to find Luka to let him know, but his number got damaged so she wasn’t able to tell him. Hannah is now engaged to Mark when she’s sees Luka again for the first time since that one night.
There isn’t any cheating, so no need to worry about that.

Luka, Luka, Luka ~ what a hot hunka protective and dangerous beefcake. When he finds out he’s a father he’s all in from there on out. I would not recommend messing with anyone he considers family.

Mark turns out to be violent and abusive and there was a nice little twist with him I didn’t see coming.

I am glad that we’re kept in the loop with Madisyn and Mikhail’s life and what’s happening with them.

This was very light on the action and an all around nice slow burn, second chance story. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

*Thanks to Willow Fox for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

Book blurb: Release date ~ April 8, 2022

There’s a darkness surrounding him, and I should stay as far from Luka Ivanov as possible.

Three years ago, I gave birth to a baby girl after one drunken escapade with a mysterious Russian bartender, Luka.

At least I thought he was the bartender.

When I went back to tell him that I was pregnant, no one knew who he was.

I’ve moved on… what other choice did I have?

The wedding is quickly approaching, and I’m engaged to Mark, a man I don’t love. Don’t get me wrong. He’s sweet and kind, but a little too syrupy for my taste. I prefer my men darker, devious, and with a bit of bite. Mark is as vanilla as they come.

But I’ve settled because it’s what’s best for my daughter, Bay. She needs stability, and I want to give her the absolute best life that I can.

When my coworker stumbles onto a photo of my hot mistake, Madisyn confesses that she knows the Russian who knocked me up. I beg her to introduce us, but she has to swear not to tell him my secret before I do.
