What a TREAT this series is. It's bananas! It's bonkers! It's everything I've ever wanted from a mafia romance! And this first book is nothing compared to the bananas plots of the following two books. Read this catnip.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance my-review-updated Dark Mafia Prince is not a book I would normally pick up on my own, but when I read a very positive review from Mandi over at Smexy books....I knew I had to pick this one up and I am so glad that I did!!! Annika Martin wrote such a superb read. It sets out with Aleksio and Mira, were once childhood friends. But then Aleksio's parents were murdered and he and his two younger brothers were shipped away to different places to training camps. But Aleksio has never forgotten Mira or the fact that her father was behind the attacks against his parents and he has been wanting revenge and the location of his youngest brother. Unfortunately Mira is put in the middle. Mira has lived a life that is far different than what most people expect of her. She doesn't live in a mansion with a huge property, but in the midst of a crowded city, working as a lawyer to help needy families. When she comes back for a visit for her father, her life is thrown a curveball. She is taken captive by the one man that once was a childhood friend and she once thought she could trust with her life. She doesn't know what to expect from him, but she is determined to learn the truth just as he is. As Aleksio and Mira reconnect once again, they join forces to bring down the real enemies and find the location of his youngest brother. But will their love be their undoing or their greatest strength....
What a story and packed with so much and I honestly wasn't expecting to be swept away by this story. But boy was I and I couldn't contain my excitement with each chapter of these two rekindling a old friendship and a new passion for each other. Now the chemistry between them is scorching hot but so well done!! At first, they both are under difficult circumstances, and man does the story really get intense at some moments, that you just want to cover your eyes and not read it....but so worth it!! I love how devoted these two become to each other, and even though they each make mistakes they also don't let those mistakes define their relationship. They seriously have quite a few lessons to learn, and along the way overcome issues together. It was quite an exciting and thrilling ride!! Highly Recommend to Mafia or Romantic Suspense fans.

4 “Sleeping King” Stars!!!
Three brothers. Mmmm. My kinda series.
“the suits, the codes, cufflinks just so. The sleeping king…”
One brother is missing. Aleksio and Viktor are on a war path to rain down hell onto the leading mafia king to find their brother. Aleksio is determined to reunite his family and take over his empire.
My Aleksio:
Aleksio’s love is the dangerous kind of love that breaks all the rules. It’s him killing and kidnapping as he goes after his brother. It’s him pulling my hair and shoving his cock in my mouth. I shouldn’t think it’s beautiful.
My Mira:
Mira is the daughter of the leading mafia king. Aleksio and Mira knew each other when they were kids, both children of mafia kings. Mira believes Aleksio to be dead, but she soon finds out that her own father is not what he seems. Aleksio kidnaps Mira (I LOVE kidnapping stories!), and holds her ransom in order to get information about his missing brother.
The story leads to many places to find the missing brother. At the same time, Aleksio and Mira grow closer to together. They are so hot together, and I love how Aleksio is with her. Dirty Talker = No Panties. Yes, please.
The way he uses me is violent. Primitive. Demeaning. And all I can think is, don’t stop.
I am a sucker for mafia romance, but this book is more than just romance. It’s a story. I love books that tell a story in addition to the romance. Why do I love mafia romance so much?! Probably because there is almost always a guaranteed alpha, and Aleksio did not disappoint in this one.
This book had my attention from start to finish. It was an easy, quick read that I didn’t want to end. Thankfully, it continues in the next book in the trilogy. Viktor, here I come!
Find me on
