The Bookie (Chicago Bratva Book 6)

Really liked Chelle and NikolaiOverall, all books have been great except Natasha and Diam. I've loved the men are alpha holes but have a sweet, soft side with the women. I like strong, intelligent women, which Chelle definitely was.

Another hit for Renee Rose! This story is filled with intrigue, suspense and many times I worried about the safety of these characters. Definitely a five star read!

I enjoyed this story of Nikolai and Chelle. I really liked Nikolai. The author did a good job of showing how he feels on the edge of his group of bratva brothers, especially now that his twin brother Dima has left to live with his girlfriend. Nikolai is a really good guy whose position in the bratva forces him to do some unsavory things. Knowing this, he realizes that someone like Chelle wouldn't want a permanent relationship with him. Of course, as she gets to know him better, her fears about his profession and association with the bratva dwindle as her love for him grows. And of course there's a very satisfying HEA.

Sucked in from the first book! The brothers were who I was looking forward to reading most and the books were awesome! I love how she has been writing this series, probably my favorite of her work!!!

Another great story in the continuing series by Renee Rose, who is one of my favorites. Nikolai and Chelle go thru some serious crap to get the HEA they deserved, thanks to Chelle's brother Zane, who's drug and gambling addiction causes chaos.I have always given these books a 5 star rating but I can't with this this one and this is why. My issue comes from the beginning of the story involving a ring and the reasons why Chelle doesn't want to leave it behind when she can't get the safe to open. There are several references to "the cleaning people" being a reason why she didn't feel safe leaving the ring in her office over the weekend. I was a bit insulted, being a "cleaning person" myself. The suggestion that it would come up missing was offensive.

What do you do when your twin and his girl move? Or when all the guys in your life seem to be finding their other halves? You met yours at a card game. Being as you work with people who you can't talk about or about the work then you do your best. It was an eye opening story about two people who were opposites and yet they fit perfectly. The twist and turns in this story gave me a lot to think about and gave me a little insight into how a man can feel about the changes he sees around him and the true meaning of family. How far one is willing to go for that family. This love story was one for my heart and my mind. I want to read the next one in this family. Thanks for the adventure may the next one be as good if not better.

This is a well written series and each book in the series can be read as a standalone but reading in order does enhance the experience.Nikolai runs the Bratva's gambling operations and crosses paths with Chelle when her brother owes them a lot of money and he takes a piece of jewelry that belongs to Chelle's employer to pay for his debt. Nikolai give her back the jewelry, and their relationship takes off from that point. The books are light on the mafia as over time, the group has moved more and more to legal avenues to make money and rely less on the illegal revenue streams, and they stay out of drugs and other more objectionable areas.

I love her characters!!! All of the characters’ stories are intertwined and each get their own book in the series.

Renee Rose an author who never fails to deliver an exciting story and loads of lust, passion and love. A wonderful page turner.

This series keeps getting better and better. Great to catch up with the other characters.Loved Nikolai and Chelle's relationship development and sexual chemistry.Highly recommend

This is another great book in the Chicago Bratva series. I loved the development of Nikolai and Chelle’s relationship. There’s just the right amount of action in the story to keep it interesting. Love seeing what’s happening with the characters from the previous books too

Well Nikolai, what a guy. I just loved this story. He and Chelle, made the pages burn. I read it in a day. I love these books. In fact I really like the way Ms. Rose puts a story together. Well written and researched. Once again well done

The Russian mafia have never been so appealing. These books get better and better, and I love how the family keeps expanding.
