Emma

Raised by a monster.
Fell for one too.
One night. One mistake.
Now a secret baby.
The father?
My father's worst enemy.

I knew better than to trust him. He was a monster, just like the one who raised me. But I couldn't resist him, and now I'm paying the price.
A one-night stand left me with a secret that could destroy everything. My father's worst enemy is the father of my child.
I never expected to fall for the enemy, but his touch set me on fire. Now I'm trapped in a dangerous game, caught between my heart and my loyalty.
As the stakes get higher and the danger grows, I'll have to decide if he's worth the risk. Can I trust him with my heart, or will he betray me like the monster he is?
But as I spend more time with him, I realize that things aren't always black and white. He's not the monster I thought he was, and maybe he's the only one who can save me.
In this dark and seductive romance, nothing is as it seems. Can love conquer all, or will the past destroy everything?
If you haven't read the first two box sets of the Brutal Kings Collection, don't worry! Each series can be read independently, but for those who want to dive deeper into this thrilling world, we highly recommend checking out Brutal Kings, Series I,and Brutal Kings, Series II for even more crossover characters and epic storylines.

brutal Kings 3

I have to admit this is my fave of all the books and couples. Emma and Raoul were funny, insanely steamy in their relationship and had the BEST banter! Although Emma’s use of British jargon was a bit painful at times as honestly not a lot of people use a lot of the swear words she did. But that is a MINOR point because I loved this final collection of the Brutal Kings stories. I had thought Mateo and Andy would be my faves but no way. These guys are total winners!

I loved each book of this series but Raoul and Emma stole the show. Below are my reviews for each book. This whole series is worth reading so don’t miss out.
Captive
Raoul and Emma
When Raoul wakes up after being kidnapped, he finds himself in the same cell with a smart mouthed hot headed young woman named Emma who landed herself in the same place as him by trying to stop two other girls from getting kidnapped as well. Raoul is being held for ransom and when he sets the negations in place, he wants to take Emma with him. This is just the beginning of their journey and let me just say that Mya has stepped up this series after I didn’t think it could get any better. I am loving this banter and steam and suspense with Emma and Raoul. Great job Mya.
I received an arc copy of this book and I am freely leaving my review.

Savage
Just don’t get in trouble
When Raoul is asked to oversee an event, Dario asks him not to get in to any trouble. Will Raoul do as he is told? Of course, not especially when he runs into the smart mouth Emma who just happens to be with the senator and her father. What happens when they turn to the poker table what will Raoul wage and what will it cost him or will he win what he is after in the end. Will Emma be able to fight of the hot alpha Raoul?
Mya turns the heat up another notch in this book. Ready for Sinner and to see what will happen next in the lives of Emma and Raoul. I received an arc copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my review.


Sinner Brutal Kings III
What a honeymoon
This book brings us the marriage and honeymoon of Emma and Raoul. Talk about a hot steamy honeymoon well Mya will have you fanning yourself all throughout this book.
Wow oh wow. I have enjoyed this series and didn’t think it could get any better but man is Mya bringing the heat suspense and action to an all-time high. I am absolutely loving Emma and Raoul’s journey. I love her spitfire attitude and I love Raoul and how he handles her. These two are falling hard but their journey is not going to be an easy one. She has secrets that could possibly tear them apart. He is in danger because of just who he is and now that he married Emma well let’s just say her father has his own agenda.

Crown Brutal Kings III A Dark Mafia Romance Pregnant Accidental Baby book 4 by Mya Grey
Feeling like family
Emma and Raoul’s feelings are growing stronger and stronger for one another and I love it. Raoul finds himself and Emma’s dad getting closer after a run in. Emma is planning something special to finally tell her husband about the baby but this ending is not at all what you will expect. Talk about leaving you hanging. I can’t wait for the final book because I know Mya will deliver a heck of a conclusion.

Vow Brutal Kings III A Dark Mafia Romance Pregnant Accidental Baby book 5 by Mya Grey
Outstanding
With each book in this series Mya Grey’s writing just gets better and better. I am not a huge fan of mafia-based books but this series was OUTSTANDING. I loved Emma and Raoul’s story and hated to see it come to an end.
Emma was a true heroine and she packed an attitude to go with it. She never backed down no matter the challenge. Raoul was a true hero and alpha man. He went to any and every length to protect Emma and his family. The ending to their love story was very well written with plenty of action, suspense, drama, and steam. The ending was worth waiting for.

Captive: The first part of this series starts out, right away, with action and kept me entertained till the abrupt cliffhanger! Raoul and Emma have great chemistry.
Savage: OMG! This story just gets better as it goes along. I love it! So much chemistry between Raoul and Emma. This is Not a standalone. It has a sudden cliffhanger.
Sinner: This addition starts where Savage left off. Raoul and Emma get married and go on their honeymoon. The story just keeps getting better and better. Are they developing feelings? And what will happen when Emma’s secret comes to light? There are a lot of questions still to be answered.
Crown: This series is frickin’ awesome. I just love Emma’s feisty personality. And then, there’s Raoul, who is sexy as heck! I love their story and hate to see it end! So much excitement, drama, romance and steam. I’m excited to see how he reacts to her “secret”. Warning: this episode, as the previous three, ends on a cliffhanger. This series is a must read.
Vow: Vow is the finale of Raoul’s and Emma’s romantic love story. I absolutely loved this series. It was so well written and kept me spellbound. Raoul and Emma are so perfect together. I am so glad that they got their HEA. A wonderful series.

Raoul Caraldi is kidnapped by the Russians. They are working with Raoul’s uncle. Emma McErlane was also caught by the Russians. Raoul offers them enough money that they let Raoul go and let him take Emma with him. Raoul doesn’t know her name so he calls her Buttercup. They end up in a hotel room waiting for Raoul’s men to come get them. They have sex and fall asleep. Raoul wakes up and Emma is gone with his money and the ring he made from his mother’s jewelry.

Two strong lead characters in Raoul and Emma. Needless to say, they meet again and sparks fly. They both have secrets from each other.

I loved the ending of Raoul and Emma’s story and how everything got wrapped up. I was glad there was a chat where Nikki and Andy summarized their relationships with Dario and Mateo for Emma and the readers. It gave us just enough information in case someone wants to go back and start the Brutal Kings series from the beginning.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Nikki and Dario in Series I, Andy and Mateo in Series II and Emma and Raoul in Series III. I was lucky enough to read all the books from the beginning.

I think this is my favorite couple out of this series (of course I thought the same while reading the previous books). Raoul has been the playboy seeking the approval from his brothers he never got from his sperm donor and he met his match in a not so meet cute. Both had been kidnapped by the Bratva him of ransom and her for human trafficking. Emma aka Buttercup is a little spitfire with a foul Irish mouth. Raoul bought his and her way out and ended their experience with a one night stand. She left with a little gift. Raoul ends up winning her from her Irish Mafia Leader father and the fun begins. There is danger from so many people they don’t know where the hits are coming from. I loved how this couple grew up through their trials. They both had chips on their shoulders from horrible childhoods that had them overcompensating. There are lots of twist and turns I didn’t expect and I loved them all. This was a great series and it’s one I’ll definitely be rereading.

our other halves

Brutal Kings III is the complete box set containing books one through five in the third and last part of the series Brutal Kings by author Mya Grey. So this is the end, a bittersweet moment. So what a ride, right for those brave souls that journeyed with me into the world of the Brutal Kings. Lol sweethearts more like (for their women) unless you do something to hurt their souls. I am so glad that BookTok introduced me to the talented author Mya Grey. And thank you Mya for having this naughty delightful imagination.
Enjoy!!

This series is Mafia, marriage of convenience, forced proximity and surprise baby Trope.
If Mafia and hot Alpha males your thing then you will love this series.
The series catches your attention from the word go. It's all action packed, full on drama and super hot steam.
Raoul and Emma's connection is electrical. No matter how much they fight it their heart is already involved.
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series.

Brutal Kings is the best in the series, IMHO! These books keep you up all night, rocking in your seat and waving hell to the yea when the FMC opens her mouth. Both MCs are witty, and the steam factor will heat you up real quick. This 5 book box-set is the only way to go when you have short stories with cliff hangers and the continuation of the interconnecting characters are a major bonus.
Trigger Warning: explicit sexual content, violence, and themes that some readers may find upsetting, such as abuse, non-consensual acts, and intense emotional situations.

Dynamite Reading

This is a new author that I have recently picked up as one of my favorites when reading mafia stories. I started out reading a free copy of her stories and have quickly launched into the world of each male member of this dysfunctional family. Her story telling draws you into their family drama and is quite addictive. I have purchased each of her mafia stories and am delighted to have another author that spins some great stories.

Great series

The only reason I have this a 4 star is because several chapters were reprinted, other than that, this is definitely an interesting series full of hotness, sassiness, and possessiveness that will make you swoon. I love this amazing author and will continue to read any book she published

Raoul thought he'd always be broken!!

When you are the illegitimate son of a mob boss you don't generally get the chance to run that family. Raoul feels like he needs to prove he's better than his father and can handle anything. Then he meets the brash and sexy Emma, the daughter of his enemy but a woman he wants in his bed. Can these two learn to love each other?

A must read collection! I’ve read these individually but put them all together and in a box set if a must have! These are a great couple but the journey to get there is full of obstacles but they finally find a way!

The 3rd book of “BRUTAL KINGS III” box set series has lots of suspense, action & love as much as the 1st & 2nd books. The only reason I gave it a rating of “4” is because of several errors. However, it is also a good read and I really enjoyed “RAOUL & EMMA’S” story.🌺

This has been a terrific series where I have laughed at the witty banter, internal dialogue as well as the dialogue between characters. Emma and Raoul's story did not disappoint. I have loved every story/characters in this series, but really enjoyed Emma's and Raoul's.

Emma has a mouth on her but she is one tough MFC throughout the series and Raoul, well he is not only eye candy but a naughty bad boy with a heart. He and Emma's chemistry sizzles from the very start and keeps on giving throughout this series. Both characters harbor secrets and enemies that are slowly peeled away like an onion leaving the reader guessing as to what is going to happen next. I don't enjoy a story where I can figure out who the perpetrator is before the book does.

It was a very entertaining read that left me laughing at times and gave me tears other times throughout the story. The characters from prior books had cameo appearances adding to the depth of this storyline.

It's been hard finding books lately that have a solid storyline and characters with just the right amount of bad vs., good in order to be viable in this genre, but Ms. Grey delivered with this entire series. Well done.

I loved this series. It takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Emma and Raoul start out rocky but turn into so much more, then I think either of them were expecting.
