The sex was hot. The drawings were a cool touch except that the woman drawn didn’t match the description in the book. I liked the link to the music playlist. 

But I just don’t think I’m a mafia romance girlie. I’m just not into all the violence. 

I don’t like people who handle their problems with fighting. The entire time they were banging after she shot him, I couldn’t help but think about him bleeding all over everything. I don’t see who it would be feasible to 69 and then hard ride a man with broken ribs and a stab wound on his abdomen.

Brutal Prince is the start of this mafia romance series, it’s my first time reading a book by this author and I find the plot is pretty well written. 

The spicy parts are not too much as well so there's still a storyline I can follow like with the ex-boyfriend, the feud between families and also a little bit of political intrigue. 

 

I like how Aida is not afraid to voice her thoughts to Callum, always try to fight her way through instead of being a little obedient wife.  

 

The romance feels a little bit like an insta-love, it was progressed a little too fast for my liking. I wish Aida and Callum has longer time to open up to each other and explore the feelings that bloomed between them. 

 

Overall, it's a pretty good read if you're looking for a quick spicy romance. 

I’m curious to read more about Aida'a brothers and Callum's sisters in the next book!

too fast, uneccesary sub mafia trope, enemies for 2 seconds, illustrations (in my case that's not a good thing), I don't like chigaco

This book is so fun and a great, fast read for when you're in a reading slump. There's a decent side plot, and the main two characters have such funny interactions. I think this book could've had more plot details and schemes, but I still had a lot of fun throughout this read! 

I recommend it to people looking for tension, small politics, gang side-plots, mafia, and spice
