5.0

CW mention of miscarriage and stillbirth, stalker ex, violence, gun violence, drugging, woman in peril, house fire

⭐ 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.

3,75 stars because I liked this but I think I’ll like other heroes better, so I’m starting off low to go higher. I’ve really been underestimating kindle unlimited books. I liked the characters and then the plot started to get good, and I became interested in that too so this was fun. Also I think I like enemies to lovers when they both give as much as they can take but then they’re like oh shoot I went too far and the other person goes too far as well and it’s kinda funny.
 
 This was INSANELY hot 🥵 and omfg I just about died of laughter when I read the extra scene where Aida was dressed as

Poison Ivy and she said her kiss was poisonous and Cal was like “I know I remember our wedding”

I feel like this had (in the mafia aspect of it) what Mariana Zapata wanted to have in Under Locke.

1.5

There's an age gap (older man, young woman) and explicit mentioning of grooming. There's violence, attempts at murder and SA, and

the male love interest at one point finds that almost drowning his fiance is sexy

. There are BDSM themes but zero mentions of clearly stated consent, safewords, or aftercare. Also, the female main character seems very "I'm not like other girls" which made reading from her perspective a little annoying.

Aida is kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend/stalker towards the end of the book. And he attempts to burn them both alive.
