The story moved so quickly and I found myself not wanting to put it down.
Callum and Aida had such amazing chemistry and banter. I loved how Aida acted and how she was just such a badass and independent character. Callum had a soft spot for her and it was obvious form the beginning, even if he acted all tough in the beginning.
I will definitely be continuing this series and hope to fall more in love with these characters.
<SPOILERS>
I can’t even lie, every event that happened in this book had me thinking how is that even possible.
From a fire in the beginning caused by Aida, to an arrangement made between the fathers that made Callum and Aida marry, to Aida being the cause of an allergic reaction and nearly killing her husband not even seconds after they married, to a mafia boss coming in and subtly threatening the safety of their lives, to Aida, Callum and her family nearly getting killed by that same Mafia boss, to Aida and Callum getting drugged and kidnapped by that same mafia boos and Aida somehow created a plan to get out of the captors control, to Aida being kidnapped by her psycho ex and nearly being burned alive, only for Callum to come in and save her.
A very action packed book that like I said had me eating it out of the palm of its hand.

⭐ Enemies to lovers
⭐ Mafia romance
⭐ Marriage of convenience
An enemies to lovers, where they are genuinely enemies and hate each other? Sign me the hell up🙏
A brilliant opening to a series, Brutal Prince ditches the rivals to lovers angle of the enemies to lovers trope and brings two feuding families with a prickly heroine who literally tries to kill him within the first quarter of the book 😂 Honestly an iconic move.
I always love to see characters, particularly the macho MMC start to soften gradually over the course of a book and this had it in spades as we see Callum totally disregard his own safety and well-being just to rescue Aida.
I loved it. I needed it. Chef's kiss.
