I can finally say I’ve read a Sophie Lark book and I can definitely say the hype is real! 

The fmc Aida is an absolute badass, thick, sassy and my new queen 👏👏 

Then by adding mmc Callum, hot possessive alpha male into the mix we’re given a steamy read! 

I always love the arranged marriage trope especially with sprinkles of Mafia vibes thrown in there. 

Brutal Prince has a great balance of funny moments, action and of course amazing spice so of course I ate this book up!!  The banter, tension and drama between the two main characters was honestly perfect. 

I enjoyed this book and I’d definitely recommend it. 

Added bonus: There’s charter art inside the book 🙌😍

I finally read this book and i enjoyed it this was probably the fastest book I've ever read i loved the pictures to it gave me a better image of what the characters looked like or what a area that they were in looked like i enjoyed that i did find some parts funny and i did get a little anxiety but it wasn’t to bad I can’t wait to read Stolen heir and the rest of them i already have them but i think I'm gonna read Stolen heir tomorrow and the rest the days  after that but back to the book i don't really have much to say it was a nice fast read for me which I don’t get those often so I’m very excited to finish this series and even maybe start another one from this author i did enjoy Callum and his insane jealously issues and Aida and her stubborn and independence she was one hell of a woman overall i rated this book five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I can’t wait to read the rest of them🥰🥰🥰

4.5

I absolutely loved this book. This was a true enemies to lovers book with them literally trying to kill each other towards the start.  

 

The only reason it’s not a 5 star for me is their connection did feel a little rushed. It kind of felt like they went from hating each other to being in love without much emotional building. But other than that, this book was amazing and i’m so keen to get Nessas book now.

3.0

I can see this book being absolutely perfect for romance readers who likes a true hate-to-love trope, with a dominant, brutal male lead, who sees his woman as his property. His to have, to own, but also to protect.

His (the male lead’s) way of thinking and behaving was a bit too problematic for me, though I know his way of being is exactly what some readers love.

It’s fast paced, has some truly headstrong characters, and lots of steam. If that’s your jam, you’re gonna love this book! 

As well as not being my cup of tea, the plot was also a bit flat, but with 334 pages, a relationship and steam to focus on, I don’t see how a more elaborate plot would fit, to be fair. 

The book gets bonus points for having illustrations in it (coloured illustrations if read on a tablet/phone, the paperback has b&w illustrations). 

Overall, it didn’t wow me, but I think it’s definitely one of those books some readers might end up absolutely loving.

Trust is rarer than love. It’s putting your fate, your happiness, your life in someone’s hands. Hoping they keep it safe.

This is my first Sophie Lark book, and honestly? I liked it. Her writing was good. She knows how to write real enemies to lovers romance (and not just other romance books who consider being irritated with each other "enemies to lovers"). 

I liked the dynamics of the Gallo family. I liked the banter between Cal and Aida. I liked that her characters are diverse. Both the romance and the smut were good. 

I can't wait to read the rest of the series and her other books.
