Excerpt:
He licked his lips and repeated what he always did when we had to perform, when we had to do our jobs. “I won’t be gentle with you.”
Our foreheads touched, my chest heaved with exertion like it was hard to breathe when he was so near, but really it was the promise that killed me, a promise that he wouldn’t enjoy touching me ever again, that I was more curse than cure, and yet, I knew it was all we would ever get, these fleeting moments where we did our job too well. “Then make it hurt, baby.” My voice cracked. “Make it hurt.”
His lips parted in a groan as he spun me into his arms and crushed his mouth to mine. It was part pain, part pleasure as he pulled my hair then slid a hand up my shirt like nobody was watching when everyone was.
We broke apart, mouths swollen, my lower lip was bleeding.
A reminder for both of us—this was no cease-fire, this wasn’t real, it was all a carefully constructed show.
“Mmmmm…” I smirked. “Looks like Junior’s not playing around tonight, ladies.”
Screams went up as Junior grabbed my ass and squeezed so hard, I knew I would bruise later. He roughly pulled me against his chest and nipped at my neck.
I told my body it didn’t feel good.
I told my heart we were safe.
And I forced myself to believe the lie every single time we touched.
Because to do otherwise—would destroy me.
RVD is going back to her mafia roots and I could not be more excited. Her Eagle Elite series is what made me a hardcore RVD fan back in 2013. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book she has written since, but her mafia stories hold special place in my heart and I jumped at the change to read an advance copy of her newest series.
Ruthless Princess is the start of Mafia Royals series and Rachels throws down the blades from the very start. You do not need to read the Eagle Elite series to read this series because it is a whole new group of characters – kids of the Eagle Elite. The Mafia bosses do make appearances, however it’s more with showing of a lineage and helps give you and understanding how all these kids related. It is a lot to taken in, but Rachel does it with ease so you are not lost.
And when I say kids, I say that very loosely. They are adults now – all in their college years. But growing up in the mafia makes you mature much faster than a child normally would. Rachel definitely lets her characters rule the pages and does not hold back on anything. There is a lot of blood, sex and intense scenes. And I LOVED EVERY DAMN BIT OF IT!!!
Ruthless Princess is truly Serena and Junior’s story. But Rachel also uses it to set the stage for what is come of all the cousins within this series. She does is gracefully and never deters from the main story – Serena and Junior’s their forbidden romance.
I will not into details about anything. Just know that not once is there a slowdown in this book. Rachel brings the perfect mix of suspense, steam and even some humor to keep things entertaining on the lighter side. The new Mafia Regime is not holding back on anything and they are determined to not repeat the mistakes of their fathers.
As I said before, you can read this book as a standalone and not have a problem. However, I can’t promise you that after reading this, that you won’t want to go back and read the Eagle Elite series. Rachel does a phenomenal job of introducing the next generation in the Elite mafia and holds back on nothing.
Another great series that will give RVD fans something to look forward to every year with a new mafia progeny.
