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.

I liked this better than book 2. Nero was hot and interesting, and camille was cute and different. I don't like the "sibling being the mum" trope but it worked for camille's character and the plot line.

I enjoyed Savage Lover but felt the romance wasn’t as strong as the previous two books in the series. I like Camille and Nero but I feel like their romantic journey was on the pages less than Aida/Callum and Nessa/Miko which prevented the reader from emotionally connecting with them as a couple. That being said I still couldn’t put this book down. I would recommend this book!

2 .5 🌶

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
