Miscommunication tropes, enemies-to-lovers literal dramatics, and the rough tone of language, considering the age, were quite immature. There's this immediacy that was toxic to a relationship to start off, but it was easily consumed for the most part due to the short chapters. I'm not a big fan of the violence, and the storyline was a bit lackluster; the scenes were short, and if it was fast-paced, it was just that it was detailed on parts I don't like that much. Overall, there were areas that could have been improved and some side characters to be given spotlight.

This was good! This was really entertaining overall. This is also very fast paced which I loved. I liked how this was truly enemies to lovers. I love Aida from the start, I think she's amazing. She's a firecracker lol but she's really smart and I loved that. I also liked she shows people who underestimate her wrong. I know some people don't like her but I did. Callum on the hand, took some time for me. I thought he was kind of annoying in the beginning lol but I understand why. I also liked the whole "touch her and I'll kill you" vibes, it never misses. I'm really interested in the rest of the family members as well so I'll be reading the next book sometime soon. Really enjoyed this one!

Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark is the first book in the Brutal Birthright series. After Aida (accidentality) sets her family's rivalling family's library house on fire, she is forced to marry their eldest son Callum. Both hate each other's guts, but they have to play along to their fathers' wishes. The more time they spend together the more attracted they are to each other. But other families are pissed and they have to be cautious.

I received this book for free through an online read club and I desperately needed a quick read yesterday. Here, the book did not disappoint. I read it in one go. It was not a mafia story I expected. The ones I read previously, I did not enjoy at all. Usually they are just to brutal. Sophie Lark did a better job here. We had a lot of action, but there was no real harm done to the children of the mafia bosses from the families themselves. I loved Aida's brothers. They are quite the gang and would do anything for their siblings. The same goes for Aida. She is not some damsel in distress. She is quite a good fighter and knows what she is doing. I liked that about her. Callum's family is not my favourite. We don't read so much about them as we do with Aida's. Callum himself is not my type of guy either. But we will come to that. There were really steamy and sexy scenes. Callum's and Aida's chemistry was really good! But here comes my problem.

Callum kept talking about breaking Aida and making her submit to his rules and lifestyle. He kind of threw out most of her clothes, because he did not like how it was different from his standards. The first sex scene and another one later on were quite borderline. Especially the spanking scene - no consent, just some angry dominating scene. Those two scenes did not sit well with me.

The book was okay. It was not the mafia story I expected, but it was even better, because my previous experience with that trope did not go well. There were some scenes and character traits which I did not ilike at all. But it was not a bad read.

I finally read this book and i enjoyed it this was probably the fastest book l'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🥰🥰🥰
