He's dangerous, drop dead gorgeous, a grade-A asshole—and her new stepfather. Laz and Mia are the black sheep of their families and they discover a forbidden attraction to each other…but do they dare act on it?
Based on the hit novel BRUTAL INTENTIONS by Lilith Vincent.
I’ve never read a comic like this before and I absolutely enjoyed it! Lazzaro and Mia are so hot together and the touch her and die is very apparent with this excerpt and that makes me so excited for the actual release of this book. Great art and an easy layout making the story quick to follow. I can’t wait for the release!
This review is based on a 14 page excerpt provided by author for honest review and will update the review what book is released!
I must admit as soon as I saw this was a graphic novel I was instantly intrigued. Although the traditional story didn’t fully work for me I greatly enjoyed this version.
The style and vibe are just right, besides, it was a pleasant journey down memory lane, with the added bonus of some spicy content my teenage self didn’t have access to. I enjoyed the drawing and the way the dialogues were organised. Having previously read the story helped providing the setting. Although I’m sure the full version will give all the necessary details to fully understand the plot and the background.
❁⋰❁⋱❁I received 35-page ARC excerpt from the author ❁⋰❁⋱❁I
Mia and Laz are just chemistry 🌶🌶🌶🌶 with their hatred and torment for each other that turns into a solid and truly heartfelt connection you cannot help but root for them! There’s a few things in their way such as a marriage, forbidden nature, age gap, families but they do get their hard-earned HEA! This standalone is definitely worth reading 😄 So I just knew when this graphic novel was announced I HAD to have it and oh holy moly there are no words to describe how hot these illustrations are! They represent the underlying story really well as well as demonstrating that 🔥🔥🔥 between Mia and Laz. This is an absolute must for anyone who loved the story the first time around.
A big thank you to Give Me Books PR and Lilith Vincent for providing me with an ARC of her new upcoming release.
I've been following Lilith on Patreon since the start, so I actually read the whole comic already, or at least everything that's released at the moment.
But, I wanted to support her in any way I could.
I'm not a big comic or graphic novel reader. Not sure why, I just never thought about it. I actually really enjoy it!
The spicy scenes im this comic are so good. Pretty sure Laz's... thing... lives rent free in my head at this point.
Whether you've read Lilith's work before or this is the first time you read something of her, you're gonna have one hell of a time. She's that good.
Also, Debora Lancianese did these amazing graphics. Can we just appreciate how awesome and talented she is?! So awesome.
Not only is the plot intriguing, but all the red flags and the graphic scenes had me fanning myself!
I LOVE THIS.
Laz is 💯 a book boyfriend of mine. And this graphic novel shows exactly what Lilith Vincent had in mind when she wrote it. This is why I am a HUGE fan of this book. This should be required of any book, really. And the illustrations are STUNNING.
Forbidden romance? Age gap? Stepdad? Secret love? I’m all in.
This one is going to sit on my shelf like a trophy. I’ll be happy when I can flip through it from time to time.
I’m a big fan of the Brutal Hearts world that Lilith Vincent has created and when I saw there was a comic to go with Brutal intentions I snapped up all the promo, previews and sneak peeks of what’s to come. Let me tell you, this is going to be one pretty edition to my shelf and totally scandalous for anyone that takes a look.
So this story is about Laz and Mia. It’s a dark, age gap romance that will leave you feeling a little corrupted. The comic brings all those devilish thoughts into a fun but naughty visual. The graphics are excellent and I love the mixture of comic strips and larger picture.
Highly recommend and I’ll let you know which package I order from the kickstarter launching tomorrow. #probablythedelux #darkromance #agegap
🇲🇽 NECESITO MÁS! 💖 no saben lo obsesionada que estoy con este libro y ahora con el cómic!! FAV✨ es que ahora poder ver las escenas que imaginé en mi cabeza plasmadas con unos maravillosos dibujos!! OOMG UN GRITO POR LA INCREÍBLE ARTISTA! 🫡
SIN DUDA ALGUNA TIENEN QUE LEERLO!
🇬🇧 I NEED MORE! 💖 You have no idea how obsessed I am with this book, and now with the comic!! ✨ Seeing the scenes I imagined in my head brought to life with these amazing drawings!! OOMG A SHOUTOUT TO THE INCREDIBLE ARTIST! 🫡
I received the ARC for the Kickstarter and I have already read the book and both of them are my favourites..
🚫 Before I get into how much I liked this book, I wanna say I avoided reading it for too long because it has cheating 💔 in it. Laz the stepfather is miserable in the marriage, and it was a forced marriage, which made me 😨 apprehensive at first. But I'm so glad I gave this book a try! Laz is trapped in a loveless, forced marriage but finds unexpected solace with his 18-year-old stepdaughter Mia. 💖 Despite her wretched mother Giulia and cruel family, Laz and Mia form an unlikely yet intensely passionate bond that blossoms into an all-consuming affair. 🔥 Their chemistry is electric and their connection transcends mere physical attraction. This dark romance defied my expectations - I loathed the idea of cheating, yet Brutal Intentions became one of my top reads this year! 😍 The character depths, emotional stakes, and blistering heat had me utterly enthralled.
🌺 It builds up very nicely. Laz and Mia are 💖 great together 💖, and Laz is 🥰 sweet and caring 🥰. By the end, even you will justify their relationship.
😡 Giulia is a grade-A bitch, and I hate how she and her brothers treat Mia.
But I say, 👍 give this book a try! It's awesome 🔥.
PSA: 🚫 For what it's worth, I loathe cheating in books, but Brutal Intentions will go down as one of my top reads for the year. 🏆 Rating: 🔥🔥 Burn: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Darkness: 🌚🌚 Heat: 🔥🔥🔥 Range of Emotions: 🎢🎢🎢🎢 Ending: HEA {Happily Ever After} 👰♀️🤵♂️ POV: Dual 👤👤 Genre: Dark Romance 😈 Tropes: 👶➡️👴 Age Gap (11 years) 😈 Alphahole Hero 🚫 Forbidden 😡➡️😘 Enemies-to-Lovers 🕴️ Mafia/Bratva/Crime Family ☠️ Touch-Her-and-Die 👸 Virgin Heroine 🥊 Who Hurt You?

Ebook purchased from Exclusive Kickstarter. Disappointed this was so short as this ebook was expensive on its own... I didn't even opt for the paperback. It's about half of the original book Brutal Intentions, but still doesn't tell you much of the story as it was a condensed version.
*ARC* When I tell you I’m crazy excited over this it’s an understatement. I read the novel Brutal Intentions and loved the story. It was a hot and a quick read for me. Or maybe I just read it very quickly. That’s how good it was. When I found out it was a Webcomic on Tapas I was ecstatic. The art was stunning and it’s so fun seeing the story brought to life. I knew I wanted a comic book on my shelf at that moment. It’s like someone was listening to my thoughts because here we are. On tapas you couldn’t see the spicy parts so being able to see a scene in my arc was the best part. Seriously everything I wanted and more. I was panting. Kudos to the artist.
Overall the art is great, the spice is detailed, and the story is like I remember which is what I want. I would love to see more authors do this in the future and hopefully this kickstarts it….. see what I did there.
I love Brutal Intentions and have read it twice, listened to the audio, and just generally been obsessed with this couple. Having it as a manga/comic book? Amazing.
The artistry is beautiful and exciting to look at and brings an entirely new dimension to the story to see it visually, rather than experiencing it through my imagination :P It's *almost as good as having it made into a live-action movie, but let's be real - the live action would NEVER live up to my expectations. But this comic book? Stunning and will live rent-free in my head.
If you liked/loved Brutal Intentions, you MUST give this a gander because it will make you hate-love Laz even more (is that possible?).
🥀 Brutal Intentions Vol 1. by Lilith Vincent 🥀 *Review on 14 page snippet
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The graphics and layout of this comic is really clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed how it followed the book story line and made you picture how the characters facial expressions would show in that moment.
This book is perfect for people that love the picture the story out in their head and to picture how hot the MMC is!
The teaser for this story within those 14 pages were jaw dropping hot and I can’t wait for more!
Having read and loved the book before, I was immediately excited when this graphic novel was announced!
The panels are easy to read and follow. The dialogue is short but has all the important bits. The artwork is beautiful and accurately and perfectly captures the characters and scenes. Laz and Mia are exactly as I had pictured them while reading the book! And don’t worry, just because it’s a graphic novel does not mean that the spicy scenes are fade to black…they are most definitely included!
This graphic novel is a great additional version of Brutal Intentions and really brings the story to life! It’s perfect for fans of the book or new readers who haven’t read it before.
It’s one thing to read a regular book physically or on your kindle, but a graphic novel?? This sneak peak had covering my face and I was roped into this story from the beginning.
From the snippet I read, you can tell Laz really cares for Mia and her well being which makes me love him so much😭
He understands what she needs in order to finally get away and be on her own, & he’ll do anything to provide for her🥹
Btw, graphic novels and spice go hand to hand and makes it an instant 5 chili rating because WHEWWW the drawing are…very well detailed🤭🤣🖤🖤
The sample of this new graphic novel was drool worthy. Having read the original book, jumping in half way was no worries just to experience the detail and artistic work that brought this novel to life. This one is currently (or will be soon) on Kickstarter and if you love both excellent taboo romances and beautifully drawn graphic novels, this one's for you! The way we get to see both Laz and Mia portrayed really brings it to life. I would recommend reading the novel first or tandem to really get the full depth of the story that you missed with the nature of it being a graphic novel. I can’t wait to see the final product!
Brutal Intentions is one of my favorite books, and I often recommend it when people request forbidden age gaps and br33ding. I’ve been a Patreon member of Lilith Vincent’s Vencent’s graphic novel Brutal Intentions and have enjoyed it immensely since the beginning. The story has come to life through the pages with its drawings. And the drawings are done very well and are pretty explicitly detailed. With the short excerpt from Give Me Books Promotion, I am pumped for Kickstarter and can’t wait to get a physical graphic novel copy of Brutal Intentions.
I mean who isn’t excited for Daddy Laz to be comicized (yes I know that’s not a word I just made it up 🤣) Laz and Mia chemistry just feels so real and tangible when you see the comic version of them. I really liked the art work and the spicy scenes are so drool worthy to look at! This was a great first glimpse of Brutal Intentions and can’t wait to read the full version you should totally mark this one on your calendars!
One of my favorite books by Lilith Vincent has been turned into a comic?? YES PLEASE!
I loved being able to see their physical expressions instead of imagining what their face looked like when something happened, whether it’s Laz with his frowning face when something happens to Mia that he didn’t particularly like or Mia when she’s taking charge 😏
These graphics are gorgeous and so crisp. I can’t wait to get my hands on the full thing!
Soooo now one of my absolute favourites has gotten even favouriter (it’s a word now) I was so excited when I saw the notification that BI had been picked up for a graphic novel and boy this didn’t disappoint. It’s just a small teaser but I am so so here for this! The artwork is exceptional and goes with the story perfectly. If you like smut, angst, taboo stories and graphics then this is one you have to watch out for!
Now this is how you turn a romance book into a graphic novel! I read a 14 page teaser and I am hooked! I can’t wait to read the full thing!
I’m always a bit apprehensive when I see graphic novel adaptations of romance books because for whatever reason the art is often terrible. This was absolutely not the case here!
I loved the art and feel like the comic did a great job of still conveying the plot.
I have never read anything from Lilith Vincent before but i love the concept of graphic novels, especially when they’re inspired from actual novels and i was super curious to try reading this one! I love the drawing style and how the characters’ are portrayed, so I can’t wait to read the whole book!
I received a 35-page ARC excerpt from the author and Give Me Books Promotions, all opinions are my own!
Hello kick starter Graphic Comic novella of Brutal Intension, I have read a small excerpt of volume one and oooh. Mia and Laz are the black sheep in their families. Well, Laz is her new step-father. And her mother and sister do not treat her nicely. They treat her like she is the dirt under heir shoes. Apparently Mia needs enough money to leave and start a new. But, Laz and Mia learned of each other secrets and a new situation appears and pushes Laz to black mail her. Will she take the bait? Ooh the drawings of everything is chefs kiss. I love to read the whole volume please.
Where do you start so I love the story of laz and Mia and I thought the comic version wouldn’t be as good but I can honestly say I will eat my own words because all of it bring it to life the art work is mouth watering, and I honestly can’t wait to get it in physical copy because I need this so bad x
I have already read the book, but when I found out about the comic version, I immediately took the chance to read it. This is one of the best mafia books I have ever come across, with all the twists and turns you need. Reading it in comic form really brings the characters to life, making it an exciting and engaging experience. 🥵❤️🔥
🔥PSA🔥 I DIDNT READ THE BOOK!!! stay with me. I was scourging the Internet for the pirated version (I know that’s so bad, but I’m so broke, and I was really excited to read this😫😫) and I could not find any links that had the FULL unaltered 🔞 version. 🥺🥺 I already read the original so pls help a broke girl out and send me the link 😞
I never knew I needed a graphic novel of one of my favorite books until Lilith announced she was doing one for Brutal Intentions. And let me tell you this comic brings this story to a whole new level. Laz and Mia are perfect, and the amazing art just brings the story to life.
