Savage Lover is a bit different compare to the first two books, I really like the progress of how the main characters come to like each other. Even though there’s not a lot of mafia activity on this story beside planning a bank heist. 

 

Nero and Camille is giving a good girl x bad boy kinda vibes, they are totally polar opposites of each other. 

I admire Camille’s character, she’s very brave, determined and love her family dearly that she’s willing to do anything for them. 

I also love to see the other side from Nero’s bad boy personality, he’s so much more than that once we got to know him a little bit more in here. 

 

Overall, it’s a good addition to the series although it’s missing the mafia elements a little bit but I was still able to enjoy this fast-paced romance with a bit of Fast & Furious vibes! 

 

I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!

Not my favorite book in the series so far, but it wasn’t bad. I just wasn’t as engrossed in the dynamic between these two characters compared to the first two.

This was my least favourite in the series so far. It was more contemporary than mafia and a slow-burn. For the MMC being described as "the neighbourhood psychopath" in the synopsis, this book was much tamer than I was expecting, and that let me down. There were also a bunch of spelling and grammar mistakes in the Kindle version. My ratings with this series have been going down as the books go on, which concerns me. I will be reading BLOODY HEART, though. Also, I read this in 24 hours, so there's that.
