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.

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.

quick and fun read.

“If you EVER talk to my wife like that again, I’ll empty that clip in your chest.” 
“I love this woman. The day she set my house on fire was the luckiest day of my life."
“Trust is rarer than love. It's putting your fate, your happiness, your life in someone's hands. Hoping they keep it safe.” 
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” 
“I kiss her like I’ll never let her go. Because I won’t. Not ever.”

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.
