This book was so refreshing! Savage Lover wasn't as mafia heavy as the previous two books, personally, I wouldn't classify it as a "dark romance", but no worries, it was still packed with loads of action!

I loved Camille! She's sweet, caring, and a boss! I mean hello, she works in a male dominant career and will check anyone who thinks she knows less than just because she's a woman. LOVE IT!! I loved Camille and Nero together! In the first two books, Nero was described as the hot-headed, playboy brother. I was expecting him to be such a douche to Camille, but it was the complete opposite. Even when he didn't know her that well, he was still very gentle with her; and when they became an official couple, that gentleness just grew. I would've liked to see a little bit more depth into their relationship. To me, their love story felt a bit rushed due to the situations they had going on separately but all in all, I still really enjoyed them.

If I had t rank the B.B. couples so far, it would be:
1) Aida & Callum
2)Nessa & Miko; Camille & Nero tied for second

This is my favorite of the series so far. The chemistry felt so much better, and the story was more unique than the first two. My biggest issue though is the ending was lacking in my opinion.

Spoiler

I wanted a wedding or at least them moving in together or something.

This is the shortest book so far and I think it could have benefited from being a little longer.

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.
