SAVAGE MAFIA PRINCE – DANGEROUS ROYALS BOOK #3 by ANNIKA MARTIN

 “Together we rule. Together we cannot be defeated.”

What a series this has been! Intense, passionate and very suspenseful! The build up through the previous books, Dark Mafia Prince and Wicked Mafia Prince has culminated in this instalment and wow! What a game of cat and mouse adrenaline filled story it was as we set upon a quest with the Dragusha brothers to restore the prophecy and see them as fulfil their reign as rightful heirs to a criminal empire.

The Dragusha brothers love their women with a fierceness, possessiveness and all-consuming passion that pulsated off the pages! When these guys love, they love for life. They’re strong, powerful and share an inexplicable brotherly bond that has never wavered despite being ripped apart after their parents were murdered when they were small boys.

‘You can never give people anything. They only hurt you with it.’

Each book has covered a different Dragusha brother, Aleksio, Viktor and now Kiro, the youngest and most vulnerable of the brothers. This young man has had it tough since being kidnapped as a baby. Passed from foster home, to laboratory to now being held in the Fancher Institute for the Mentally Ill, completely unaware that he has a family looking for him.

Under instructions from the head of the hospital, Dr Fancher, Kiro is being kept in a drug induced vegetated state, strapped to a bed day and night to keep him from escaping. They’re of the assumption that Kiro can neither speak nor communicate due to his inactive state, that is until he meets Nurse Ann and shows her glimpses that he can in fact understand what is going on around him.

“Don’t worry, Ann. I will always protect you.”

Ann is a journalist, working undercover at the hospital to break a story about drug movement within those walls. What Ann uncovers is so much more. She’s immediately drawn to Patient 34, knowing he is relating to her which sees her naturally inquisitive nature investigate who Patient 34 really is and why he is being kept in such deplorable circumstances.

The connection between Ann and Kiro is magnetic, raw, primal and instantly passionate.  He is drawn to her, compelled to her in a very sexual way, yet he relishes the caring side she shows him. Having lived a life of pain and hurt, Kiro responds to Ann’s caring nature.

His breath is velvet on my cheek. “There’s nowhere you can hide from me. No part of you can hide from me.”

Having lived most of his life in the wild, Kiro’s lust and desire is very primitive and oh boy did the sex scenes between Ann and Krio reflect this! Wow! They were fervent, rough, consuming and very, very hot.

“You’re mine to feed. Mine to care for. Mine to fuck. Mine to make come.”

The story really kicks off when Ann attempts to free Kiro. Time isn’t on their side as everyone is after Kiro. Aleksio and Viktor are in a race against time to find Kiro before the crazed and dangerous Lazarus, a powerful Albanian Mafia kingpin, hell bent on ensuring the brothers never connect to prevent the prophecy from coming to fruition. With no scruples or compassion, this man will stop at nothing in his quest to find Kiro before his brothers.

A tantalising, thrilling, adrenaline filled story told with excitement and passion delivering the hunger, love, primal possessiveness and yes…even some ‘caveman kink’ of a man who would do anything to protect the woman he loves. The prophecy, bond and intense link of brotherhood, the gripping love stories, and the exhilarating suspense all went into making this a series one we couldn’t put down!
