This book was good i still think Stolen heir is my fav so far i did also discover that the author has another series about the main characters of this series kids which i am definitely reading that i loved Nero in this book i found him funny at certain parts of the book in this book you only hear about Mikolaj and Nessa where you actually meet Aida and Callum again in this book i love how interconnected these books are they can be read as standalone and they all are happy ending but i do recommend to read them in order i love how you always meet a character in the book that your gonna see in the next i can’t wait to read Dante and Simone’s book next this series is a nice fast good read i did get anxiety more then any other book in this series so far but i still did enjoy it i also did love the Description of Neros appearance and the illustrations that gave me a better look at him😍😍😍overall im enjoying this series so much and i rated it five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book wasn’t as good as the first or second if I’m being honest. I feel like I expected more than what I got if I’m being honest. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. 

Nero from the start was a sweetheart even if he was cold hearted and “bad”. You could tell from the start that he was going to end up falling for the girl he never noticed. Camille was a sweetie. She acted like she didn’t want to fit in or that she didn’t care about the opinions of other people, but as the story went on you see that get expanded on. I liked them both together and I liked how well they fit eachother.

I also love how there was no 3rd act conflict 😍 was surprised by that but it was insanely refreshing. The spice in it was hot and I love the drawings that get included every few chapters that expand on what is currently playing out.

Savage Lover is the third book in the Brutal Birthright series, and is about Nero Gallo. Nero is at a house party at the beginning of the story, and he comes to the defense of Camille Rivera. She’s getting harassed by some people she knew in high school while looking for her 17 year old brother, Vic. Camille finally finds him and pulls him out of the party. While driving him home she discovers that he’s been selling the street drug Molly on the side for a guy named Levi. Unfortunately they get pulled over, and the bag of drugs he had get confiscated by a man named Officer Matthew Schultz. In order for her brother Vic not to get in trouble Camille says the drugs are hers. Schultz let’s them go for the night then comes to see her at her father’s autobody shop where she works the next day. He convinces her to become his confidential informant in regards to Levi by selling drugs for Levi. She then would report back to him everything that goes down, including the location of the lab where he makes the drugs. Camille reluctantly agrees, and goes to Levi’s place to convince him to let her take her brother’s place selling drugs for him. He takes her on as a dealer. She never actually sells the drugs, she just pretends she does, with Shultz giving her a wad of cash each time to give to Levi.

Meanwhile the Gallos are on to their next project with Gallo Construction. Nero has the idea for the next project which would be the South Works site. They don’t have enough capital at the moment for it, despite partnering with the Griffins combined. So Nero gets the idea to rob Alliance Bank, cozying up to Raymond Page, the owner of the bank’s daughter, Bella.

Camille finds out her father has cancer, and convinces Nero to let her in on the heist as the getaway driver. She wants in on it so she can help pay her dad’s medical bills, and pay for Vic’s upcoming college. He eventually agrees. All the while both Nero and Camille are falling for each other, as the confide more and more in each other.

Fantastic. The heist in this is so damn fun and dramatic, also a really good way of including the whole Gallo family in the book. It took a really really long time for the relationship to build into anything tangible, and that felt like a lot of wasted time at the start of the book.

Cop forces the main female character to be a CI and it's pretty damn traumatic.
