Brutal Prince

Average rating3.3
They're a match made in Hell. The Griffins and the Gallos have been battling for control of Chicago's underworld for generations. Their rivalry has always been flammable, but it reignites with a fury when Aida, the youngest and wildest Gallo sibling, crashes a party at the Griffin mansion and accidentally sets fire to the library. To stave off all-out war, her father quickly arranges a marriage between her and Callum Griffin, eldest son and heir to the Irish mafia. Cold, ambitious, and brutal, Callum is determined to tame his headstrong new bride. But Aida is more than capable of giving as good as she gets--starting with poisoning Callum on their wedding night. The problem is, murdering him would be a lot easier if he didn't look so good while she was trying to do it. She's got a lockbox around her heart. He's got something to prove. In their struggle for dominance, who will go up in flames first?

This book definitely didn't disappoint! I love how enemies to lovers this book was. Most enemies to lovers romances don't really foster hate for long but this one really did. I find that Sophie Lark is really good at making mafia romances a perfect balance. It has enough mafia elements and action for people who love it but it's not overbearing so people who aren't the biggest fan of mafia romances, could still enjoy it. The characters in this were literally phenomenal and their chemistry was literally popping off the page.
I received this e-arc from NetGalley in return for my honest opinion
Actual rating; 4,5
I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. It did lack some dialogue on how they fell in love. It was pretty much getting married and doing some stuff together and oh we are in love.
But, I did really like it. Both Aida and Callum where fun characters and I liked all the side characters too.
Caught myself while reading at work more then once!
2.5 stars
An ok read. Didn't enjoy Aida or Callum, they acted mostly like two spoiled brats.
The chemistry was there and there was no insta-love but the lust kind of came out of nowhere IMO.
I enjoyed Aida's brothers though and I was super into the families dynamics.
I might check the next one.
