Asya

I can't go back to my family.
I'm not worthy of them,
Could never be one of them again.
The sister they know, love, and remember,
Doesn't exist.
Not anymore.

Until him....

The one who took me in,
Healed me from my demons,
My fears,
My scars,
Piecing me back,
Bit by bit.


Pavel

I don't get close to people,
And I certainly don't need anyone.

Until her...

Now, she's all I want,
All I need.
The selfish bastard in me,
Wants to steal her away,
All for myself.

But she no longer needs me.
I have to let her go,
Let her soar,
Not break the wings that help her fly.
She's not mine to keep.
To love,
To have.

Can I teach my fractured soul to survive without her?

This is the sixth book in Perfectly Imperfect mafia series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.

 be perfect… if I could just ignore the age gap.

it would be perfect… if I could just ignore the age gap.

(3,75⭐️) the characters are very nice in this book! Pavel is a great Hero and its amazing how hé takes care of Asya. I like how the author made a special trigger warning page about this book because it has heavy topics. I understand the choice to make this book more about the characters and less about the maffia, it makes sense with Asya’s struggles. But after 60% of the book it got a little boring.

I didn’t particularly appreciate some of the conflict and action used to move this story.

Her trauma was portrayed in a very realistic way and did make me tear up...

The age gap wasn't my favorite thing. I really hope she's done with the 15 and 20 years inbetween because it's just too much. Two books are enough.

Fractured Souls is the 6th installment in the "Perfectly Imperfect" series. I was so highly excited for this one here. I have fallen in love with this author's series and how she writes mafia. I do love that she handles some great disability rep, but more than that, she just writes mafia in such a more traditional manner that I am drawn to more. It's not so dramatic and with unrealistic flair. She also implements some logical tropes that fit the mafia world more. In Fractured Souls is where some really difficult topics are addressed, so make sure you go to the authors website and check out the trigger warnings before picking this one up here.

Asya was taken captive and forced into the slave trade and drugged. When she manages to free herself, she finds herself taken into safety with Pavel who is the only safe haven for Asya. Pavel runs clubs for the Bratva, and he provides safety for Asya, who is traumatized from her abuse and doesn't want her family involved. As Pavel provides Asya with a safe place, he and Asya develop a deep connection as he assists her in working through her trauma.

Fractures Souls was such a beautiful story and I really enjoyed how this one was written. I adored this one, it wasn't my favorite of the series, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I always enjoy it when authors implement human trafficking. And I felt like this author handled it just right. Its really treated in a delicate manner that represents how real this reality of human trafficking is and I wish more authors would address this author especially with how prevalent it is just in the states, let alone the whole world.

Fractured Souls is a story that focuses on the recovery and healing and dealing with the PTSD aspects of such sexual abuse and drug recovery. I really enjoyed seeing how this story was written and how raw the emotion felt throughout this story. It was so genuine in seeing their growth with each other and how they find their way into a deep connection.
