The big evil guys death felt rushed. I hated Oliver guy was clinically insane. Imogene and the rest of the family had big roles in the beginning but then they kinda dissipated into like grains of salt here and there kinda forgot they existed. The first half is definitely worth it but toward the end I was kinda like hmmm not great. Overall if you want enemies to lovers go for it but as far as strong plot through and through I wouldn’t recommend.

Sophie Lark has a new fan girl… it’s me, I’m the new fan girl.

Aida and Callum. That’s it that’s the review. But no, seriously, I’m obsessed with them. I finished their book and immediately bought Stolen Heir because I’m about to devour this series.

I love Sophie’s writing and I’m so excited to read the rest of her books because yes I AM going to read all of them thank you very much.

⭐ 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.

Was this the best written book? No.
Was it the sexiest book? No.
But I loved Aida as a character, I thought she was so badass. Callum was too controlling at the start but his character development throughout the book made him lovable in the end. The actions they took and things they did to each other to make them enemies were excellent and the explosiveness of their relationship had me hooked. My favourite moment - the strawberries.
Plus there were some genuinely funny, laugh out loud moments. Overall, this was a fun, easy and enjoyable read.
