Book Review: Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark

Brutal Prince was so entertaining! It was sexy and fun but also intense and drama-filled with fantastic characters. It was a great start to the Brutal Birthright series and I am looking forward to more!

A Match Made in Hell

The Griffins and the Gallos have been battling for control of Chicago’s underworld for generations.

Their bitter rivalry reignites when Aida, the youngest and wildest Gallo sibling, crashes a party at the Griffin mansion, accidentally setting fire to the library.

To stave off all-out war, her father arranges a marriage with Callum Griffin, eldest son and heir.

Cold, ambitious, and brutal, Callum is determined to tame his headstrong bride. Aida is more than capable of giving as good as she gets – starting with poisoning Callum on their wedding night.

In their struggle for dominance, who will break first?


The Lark Notes:
Aida is my spirit animal. She’s wild, passionate, and outrageous. Callum is the only man who can tame her. These two start out trying to rip each other apart. Soon they can only rip each other’s clothes off. I love this story because it launches the saga of the Griffins and the Gallos, and because it has so much humor and heart mixed in with the danger and adventure. – Sophie


“Brutal Prince” is the explosive first act in the epic “Brutal Birthright” series. It’s a stand-alone Dark Mafia Romance, complete with HEA and no cliffhangers. It contains blazing hot bedroom scenes for mature readers only!!!

4 out of 5 stars

Brutal Prince was a wild ride and I loved it! It was intriguing and exciting and I had fun reading it. I loved the verbal sparring between Aida and Callum in the beginning as they were thrust into a marriage of convenience. I liked learning about their worlds, the entertaining moments woven in, the drama, and all the different characters introduced. This was a great series starter and I can't wait to read more.

Callum and Aida were like fire and ice together and I loved seeing their personalities battle it out in this crazy situation. There was cutting banter and snark and I loved that fight between them. Aida was a bit wild and adventurous with a major attitude and Callum was controlling, bottled up, and stern, so I really enjoyed them connecting and balancing each other out. I liked how Callum took in some of her lightness and how Aida really started to shine, showing that she’s more than what people perceived her to be. The intensity between them could boil over into passion because there is a fine line between love and hate, and it created some pretty steamy scenes.

The story moved at a good pace, making time fly by. I got just the right amount of detail when I needed it and I was invested. There were a lot of interesting characters introduced from Callum’s sisters to Aida's brothers and I am already looking forward to their stories. I liked learning the different politics and dynamics of the mafia world as well, it was fascinating. I thought this would be a darker story, and there was definitely violence and drama involved, but for the most part, it felt somewhat lighter with a lot of heated moments involved. There was a good balance.

This was one of those stories that was just fun to read. I picked it up and was immediately into it. It was exciting, entertaining, and intense at times, making for a totally enjoyable read. This was my first time reading Sophie Lark, and I was not disappointed.

Complimentary copy received.
