Fractured Souls: An Age Gap Forced Proximity Mafia Romance (Perfectly Imperfect Book 6)

First of all, definitely read the trigger warning before you read this book. There are r*pe scenes at the very start and within the first few chapters. (Not by the main H) So proceed with caution. There a short intro before the start of the story by the author providing some details about the trigger warnings so definitely read that first if you plan to read the book.This was certainly a hard read. Especially the actual r*pe scenes and the memories Asya has. But Pasha is the most sweetest and patient hero. The way she bonded with him was so cute and I just loved everything about their interaction. Asya struggled so much but Pasha truly helped fix her with his kindness.Asya's story is heart wrenching and even though I have, fortunately, not suffered her experience, it gives you a glimpse into the mindset of ppl that have. There were times in the book I was welling up. But it was SO worth the read. Just the interactions between Asya and Pasha alone were the most heart warming scenes. I loved these characters so much! I just finished the book and already want to read their story again! ❤️

This book is about Asya and Pasha. I found it a rather touching story. It handles very very sensitive issues in a decent way (definitely read trigger warnings before getting this one). The relationship that was built between them is very strong and sweet and I liked how he went beyond himself to make sure she heals and feels safe and protected.-Dual 1st person POV-Spice: 🌶️🌶️Overall: 4/5 ⭐️ for me.

This was a tough book, but well worth the read. I would highly recommend reading the trigger warnings.There wasn't anything too graphic in detail, mostly the focus is on how Asaya feels but the prologue and first chapter can be hard to read for some. Pavel was amazing! And I love how he handled Asaya's PTSD and how he helped her get back herself from the darkness.We've only seen Pavel a few times but he always integued me, so I was happy to read his story. ❤️Off to read book 4 now. I am totally all over the place with this reading order haha. But book 4 doesn't speak to me in the same way these others have, but it's such a great series!

Make sure to read the trigger warnings as this book could easily trigger some.TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️sexual assault.AbuseTalk of drugsPTSDAnxietyOh my where to begin.Never Altaj wrote such a beautiful story about two broken people who are healed by each other.Asya has been through hell and is struggling with life after everything that has happened.Pasha has had such a difficult life which has made him feel alone and isolated even though he is apart of the bratva and has people around him.When Pasha and Asya come together they save each other and heal each other slowly.There are ups and downs of course but they get their happy ending.It is an incredibly sad read but beautifully written and you can't help but fall in love with Pasha and everything he does to ensure that Asya feels safe and comfortable!

▪ Check Trigger Warnings ▪This book was outstanding but please check the trigger warnings before you give it a go.I haven't read a Neva Altaj book yet that I haven't loved! You know when you find an author that just can't do a bad book in your opinion? Neva is that author for me.Pavel and Asya meet when Asya comes literally running into Pavel's life. Pavel has a strong sense of wanting to protect and help Asya work through her trauma.Asya has been brought up to be a strong willed woman but when she finds herself in a situation where she can't be she hates herself for it.They take one day at a time, healing and moving forward, together; developing feelings and trying to ignore them. “You’re not falling apart, Asya. You’re pulling yourself together.”I'm also a sucker for nicknames in their own language; Mishka (little bear or teddy bear) and Pashenka (variation of pavel/pasha, a term of endearment used by close family members.This book is filled with trauma and possibly distressing scenes but it's all beautifully written and very sensitive. It's definitely worth a read.Its part of an interconnected series but can be read as a standalone.“I have only one home.” She lifts her face to look right into my eyes and smiles. “You. You are my home now.”

I felt this was a slower pace storyline, than the previous books and had a sweeter edge to it, it didn't quite have the same pull as the other books. This covered a hard topic leaving Asya traumatised and broken. Pavel helps fix the piece back together but as the hero to Asya, she depends on him and he begins to need her just as much. This still had violence, danger, trauma and twists as well as drama, chemistry, passion and emotion. A captivating read.

From the first page I was excited and I thought yes here we go! Pavel & Asya could be the start of something. Unfortunately to me the story started to dive. Asya has been 🍇 for months yet within days/weeks she gets over it and starts an intimate relationship with Pavel. At first I was on board with her attaching herself to him, because she needed to heal. But as it goes on I started questioning what was happening, yes it’s fiction but something like SA should be done delicately.I want the Neva who wrote Hidden Truths to come back, every story after this just hasn’t wet my palate like I wanted.Urgh I hate when it’s difficult to put the words down for my reviews. Only hope you all know what I’m trying to say 🫣

This was incredibly heart breaking, but a most wonderful story. They were perfect together and i enjoyed their happy ever after.

The patience, gentleness, and compassion Pasha shows Aysa is heartwarming. As he works to help her heal his own personal wounds begin to mend too. This was a beautifully written story that covered so many painful topics with a sensitivity that was unwaivering and so very necessary.

Everytime I read a new book from this series I am amazed and declare it the best ever ! Sure 100% I can't love another of these guys more then I already do , then she makes another book and I fall in love with yet another inexistent man ! I have never hated real men so much !! She is ruining it for all real man ! Making them delicious male caracter with the most amazing heart and soul !

El libro es increíble, la historia te atrapa desde la primera vez y nunca sabes que va a pasar. Me encantó. Lo volvería a leer, lo termine en 3 días. Súper recomendado.

I love the books where the story is about one of the mc healing from past wounds and this was one of them. I loved the connection between the mcs and how they both were attached to each other. It was amazing to read how they healed each other. I liked how the author didn't put any humor in the book because of it's sensetive topic. I would like to read more about them.

This story seems to be the best of the series as of now. Why? Because love with such strength is consuming and hard to find. Asya and pasha are artisans who know the magic of putting back the lost pieces of broken souls and carving a masterpiece never witnessed before. I love pasha for the way he keeps her above everything including his habits, tastes and own needs. I adore asya for her brave self and boundless love towards her man. This story is one in a million!
