Review: Savage Mafia Prince by Annika Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Standalone - Dangerous Royals #3
Release: October 11, 2016
Length: 393 pages

Where is Kiro?
He’s the lost Dragusha brother, heir to a vast mafia empire — brilliant, violent, and utterly savage… and he’s been missing for years.

Ann
I'm supposed to be doing simple undercover research at the Fancher Institute for the Mentally Ill & Dangerous, but I can’t keep my mind off Patient 34. He’s startlingly young and gorgeous, but it’s not just that. He’s strapped way too tightly to that bed. And there’s no name or criminal history on his chart. What are these people hiding? My reporter’s instincts are screaming.

Here's the other thing: the staffers here believe he’s so sedated that there’s not a thought in his head, but I catch him watching me when nobody’s looking. Our connection sizzles when I enter the room. When our eyes meet, I know he understands me in a way nobody else ever has.

I’m supposed to follow my editor’s orders — I have secrets, too — but everything about Patient 34 is suspicious. How can I not investigate?

My Review

I think this was the best book of the series. I liked the Savage Adonis aka Kiro. More than liked him. Despite not having 'book smarts', he was highly intelligent and incredibly self-aware. From what little I learned of what became of him in book 2, my heart was already breaking. Reading more of his struggle in this book was devastating, but it made me love him all the more. I admired his cunning, his integrity, his loyalty, his strength, his ability to persevere, and even his love for Ann.

So why only 4 stars? Sorry, but just like the other heroines, I didn't have a lot of love for Ann either.

This story had a lot of heart and Kiro was definitely the star of the show!

P.S. How great was the scene when the brothers finally reunited??? *tear* So worth it!!

P.P.S. I swear I read something that there was going to be a book for Lazarus. Say what now? Is he going to be just as evil or will he have a come-to-Jesus moment? And will this book involve Valerie in some way?
