Savage King: A Dark Mafia Romance by Bella Ray

📖Book Info

As the daughter of a judge, everything was black and white—but then I met HIM.

I was never meant to be around men like him—men my father liked to put away.

One night, I was a museum curator with a quiet life.

The next, I was bound and beaten by the monsters my father locked up.

Then he came for me.

Antonio DeLuna isn’t a hero. He’s a ruthless mafia capo with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart. He didn’t save me out of mercy. He did it to use me.

Now I’m trapped in his fortress, tangled in his world.

He says it’s to keep me safe.

He says I belong to him now.

But the more he touches me, the more I forget the rules I used to live by.

Beneath the danger and darkness is a man who burns just for me.

And I’m starting to burn back.

I should be running.

Instead, I’m falling.

*Savage King is a dark, explosive mafia romance with forced proximity, twisted loyalties, fated obsession, abduction, and a dangerously possessive antihero.

💭Our Thoughts

Mixed feelings - Mostly because I wanted more

More background. More answers. More.

I am greedy like that 🤷‍♀️

I did enjoy watching Antoino battle with himself. Not quite denying his desires, yet still not always acknowledging them

I wasn't too happy with Scarlett in the beginning. You knew what your dad does for a living, yet in your own selfish desire to live in denial, you made choices that put him and you in harm's way.

Don't get me wrong,g Scarlett gave as good as she got

I admit the outcome from this latest fubar was quite worth it

Despite his grumbly outer shell, he is all kinds of lickable

The chemistry and tension between these two literally bled off the pages

When it came to Scarlett, Antonio did have a bit of a marshmallow side - not always obvious, but it was in the little things he did and said

There are some darker moments, so if you have triggers, check the warnings

Lots of suspense and twists.

Some you see coming, some that will hit you right out of left field

Looking forward to book 2
