Ruthless Heirs
Savage Prince
He stole her for revenge, so she stole his heart as payback.
Antonio
When my own brother killed our father, I was forced to claim the Ferrara throne.
And all I thirst for is revenge.
Stealing Serena Valentino was supposed to be business, a simple chess move in the mafia wars.
But nothing prepared me for her.
She captivates my cold heart, challenging the brutal world I'm chained to by blood.
When enemies come for her, I face an impossible choice: protect the empire I'm destined to lead or sacrifice everything for the woman who dares me to love.
Serena
Kidnapped by the newest head of the Ferrara empire, I should fear Antonio, hate him…
But when brutal rivals strike, his fierce protection flips my world upside down.
Caught between loyalty to my family and a forbidden desire for my captor, I'm drawn to him in ways I can't explain.
As lines blur, I must decide if the man who's both my jailer and protector could hold the key to my heart
Or if he's just another enemy in the shadows…

Savage Prince by Sienna Cross
4/5⭐
3/5🌶️
I've been excited to dive into this book after finishing the first one! I felt I would love it, and I was right. Antonio and Serena have such a fiery chemistry! Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic keeps things interesting. There are plenty of action-packed and heart-stopping moments that had me on the edge of my seat!
After the death of his father, Antonio steps up to take over the family empire. He’s determined to keep his father’s empire intact while seeking revenge. Initially, he plans to kidnap Isa, the daughter of his enemy, but things take a turn when he ends up kidnapping Serena, who is the daughter of the King's enforcer.
Antonio has had a tough life—losing his mother and enduring a harsh upbringing with his father. He becomes broody, calculated, and cold. He is convinced that there's no good left in him until Serena enters the picture. I loved how she managed to soften him. Despite his harsh words, his actions show a different side; even when he captures and threatens her, his protective instincts kick in, and he won’t let anyone hurt her. It was so heartwarming to see him slowly open up and fall in love with her.
Serena is a strong and independent character! She’s smart, sassy, and unafraid of Antonio. She enjoys life and doesn’t tie herself down to any relationships. Even with her wealth, she doesn’t take it for granted; she works hard to chase her own dreams. I appreciated how she fights for her freedom at first and then, later on, fights to protect not just herself but also the person she’s falling in love with.
Overall, this book is an amazing dark mafia romance filled with action, suspense, and just the right amount of spice. The twist in the story caught me off guard, and the ending was so satisfying! I'm looking forward to reading the next book!

My first Sienna Cross book & WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING READ. At the speed I was reading this book, if I wasn’t so busy with life I would have read it in single sitting.
Antonio wants revenge for his dead father and the territory he lost, so he kidnaps his rival's daughter Serena. Things don't go as he planned. Tragic events happen, protectiveness grows, love grows between them, basically Stockholm syndrome lol. Antonio soon realizes that he can't live without Serena and will gladly abandon his earlier intentions and kill anyone who dares harm Serena.
The way Antonio slowly softened up for Sere was so cute. The heat between these two 🥵🥵🤌. From being a cold, calculating mafia boss who's out for revenge to a protective, passionate cute lover boy- Antonio's journey was just perfect.
Definitely recommend!!!

“ This is not who you are, Antonio Ferrara. Maybe Dio brought you here for a reason. Maybe here, in this home, you will remember the man your mother bore, not the monster your father raised. “
Antonio Ferrara is out for revenge. He can’t get to his younger brother of his girlfriend Bella, so he kidnaps her cousin and best friend Serena Valentino. Who is the daughter of Dante, the kings enforcer.
I didn’t find a huge storyline to this book. The spice was good, the FMC Serena was a fierce, independent force to be reckoned with which I loved.
There was betrayal and speculation. Forced proximity. Enemies to lovers. Touch her and die.

Serena and Antonio!
Antonio is desperate for revenge after what Raf did to their father and what he imagines to be his legacy. When trying to kidnap Isabella fails, he goes for Serena instead.
Serena is more than a match for him, and he deserved to be dressed down after what happened to her thanks to one of his supposed loyal henchmen.
Serena is also a match for her father in terms of getting what she wants!

✨E-ARC Review✨
Since we got a little sneak peek of Serena and Antonio’s story in Ruthless Guardian I have been itching to have their book in my hands and let me say it certainly didn’t disappoint.
First and foremost I absolutely LOVED Serena. I really connected with her as a character. She’s hardworking and feisty and she definitely keeps Antonio on his toes in this book that’s for sure. She reminded me so much of her mother Rose 👏🏼
Antonio was an interesting man. He was grieving his father’s loss and trying to reclaim the empire that was lost but at the same time also he was also coming to terms with lies that have come to light also. Antonio’s plan to push the Kings out of his territory resulted in him kidnapping Serena and let’s just say their time together was not as straight forward as he thought it was going to go.
Antonio and Serena had a mutual attraction for one another, the chemistry was impeccable and I loved how these two went toe to toe and weren’t afraid to challenge one another. At first Serena fought tooth and nail to foil Antonio’s plans, we she was initially captured she most certainly didn’t go without a fight which was most certainly quite entertaining to read.
Serena and Antonio’s relationship moved a lot more quicker after the two went on the run after Antonio’s mansion was destroyed. Antonio was injured in the accident and while Serena was nursing we saw both their walls drop and the two opened up a bit more to one another.
It was good to see Dante and Rose again, who are Serena’s parents.✨

This book was an emotional rollercoaster. From the very first chapter, it pulled me in with its dangerous, dark, yet deeply emotional atmosphere. Antonio Ferrara is a protagonist shaped by tragedy and consumed by revenge—a cold, calculating mafia boss who has everything under control… until she shows up.
Serena Valentino is brave, strong, determined, and incredibly resilient. Watching Antonio begin to respect her, admire her, and eventually fall in love with her… was simply perfect. What started as a strategic kidnapping turns into a passionate, genuine love story, where both realize they need each other more than they ever imagined.
Throughout the book, the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. The escapes, the constant tension, the betrayal… I truly didn’t know if they were going to survive or end up together!
The ending made me cry, sigh, and close the book with a silly smile. Because they deserved it. Because, despite everything, they chose each other. And that broke me and healed me at the same time.
I 100% recommend this book if you love dark romances filled with tension, strong characters, and a story that won’t let you go for even a second. Antonio and Serena will stay with me forever 💗.

3.75 stars
In this story there’s a lot of revenge, kidnapping, attempted unaliving, romance, suspense and so much more. It has a little bit of everything all rolled together for an enjoyable read.
I loved that the story did allow us something background on both characters. More of an understanding on why they are the way they are. I was a fan of Antonio. Even with his bad behavior, you could still see the heart he still had. The way he wanted to make his mom proud. I thought it was sweet even though he was a mob boss.
The amount of chaos that happens throughout this book will have you on the edge of your seat, and the way the FMC and MMC try to resist their pull to each other is endearing. It gave us a lot of angst and pining. So when it actually happened, it was perfect!
This was my first book by this author, I appreciate the early ebook arc from the author and Greys Promo!! If you’re a fan of mafia romance with a lot of suspense and chaos, add this to your tbr!

I devoured Savage Prince in a single sitting—it was truly an engaging read. The characters were bold, strong, and incredibly well-crafted, each adding depth and intensity to the storyline.
The chemistry between Serena and Antonio was electric and brought a fiery energy to the narrative. The author did a fantastic job developing their dynamic, making their connection feel authentic and powerful. Bella and Raq’s chemistry was also a standout, adding another compelling layer to the story.
The tropes featured in the book were everything I was hoping for:
Mafia Romance
Dark Romance
Slow Burn
Age Gap
If you're a fan of intense, emotionally charged romances with complex characters and dark themes, this book is a must-read. I thoroughly enjoyed it .

Antonio Ferrara is every bit the broody mafia prince you’d expect. He is cold, calculated, out for revenge, but the moment Serena enters the picture? Game over. His men literally say he’s gone soft… and honestly? They’re not wrong, and I was here for it.
Serena gets kidnapped, sure, but she is not a damsel. She’s smart, mouthy, and fully capable of holding her own in a world built on blood and loyalty. She literally names her pew pews and stares down danger like it owes her money. Total badass.
Their chemistry is electric and the moments they let their guard down are what we all live for in a romance books. The way they protect each other with a deadly kind of devotion that creeps in when they are not even looking (SWOON) and the emotional pull between them?
It’s the perfect mix of danger, desire, and two people trying to survive a world that wasn’t built for softness, however, finding something tender anyway.

What I loved about Savage Prince was that it was a quick read, and had a badass FMC, and a hot as hell MMC. I am a sucker for forced proximity, kidnapping mafia stories. The chemistry between Serena and Antonio FLEW off the pages. They were the only two in denial about the chemistry until finally Serena took the matters into her own hands. I loved that this book can easily be read as a standalone but reading the other books Sienna has written really helped know the supporting characters better.
April 7, 2025
Holy smokes! This was everything plus some!! Highly recommend! If you enjoy a hot, dark mafia man and a strong ass FMC look no further and pick this up as your next read. Before even diving into this, there was artwork right at the beginning and I knew this was going to be good. The ups and downs constantly kept me on the edge of my seat! The heat between these two was absolute fire. Do yourself a favor and put this at the top of your TBR, you will have no regrets!

Another book in the Ruthless Heirs series and it did not disappoint. Absolutely love this world, these characters and the plot twists that always have me hooked in Sienna Cross’s stories.
The whole plot twist with Santiago… yeah I didn’t see that one coming. I was convinced the whole time it was going to be Dante and would cause some huge family feud, but once I knew it wasn’t, I fell in love with these characters and their family even more because DUH of course they wouldn’t do eachother like that!!!!
But Sienna…. You really didn’t have to do me like that with Mariuccia and Fabi. I do not forgive you😭😭😭😭😭 My heart BROKE💔
Forever grateful to be apart of this ARC team and CANNOT WAIT for Ale’s book 🤌🏼 gimme gimme

This is a story with kidnapping, revenge, romance, suspense and quite a bit of spice. It has a little bit of everything all rolled together for an enjoyable read.
I love both characters: Antonio - the broody mafia prince, cold, calculated and out for revenge, but the moment Serena enters the picture? Game over. He's gone soft, but only for her ... and I loved it. Serena - smart, mouthy, and fully capable of holding her own. She stares down danger like it's nothing. Just badass.
They are the perfect mix of danger, desire and two people trying to live in a world that wasn't built for tenderness, but they found something soft and worth the world anyway.
The chaos that happened throughout this book will have you on the edge of your seat, and the tension between Antonio and Serena is perfect.
I would 100% recommend this book if you love dark romances filled with tension, strong characters, and a story that won’t let you go for even a second.

*Arc Review* I thought I liked Sienna Cross’s writing before but this book really solidified it for me. I only wish I had found these books sooner. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book. The twists and turns kept me guessing, the spice was just enough, and I enjoyed seeing Serena and Antonio complement each other. I also like how Sienna incorporates the rest of the family. I am excited to see what is next for the family.
April 6, 2025
Savage Prince followed the story of Antonio and Serena. I was not familiar with these characters when I started the book. This book has romance and suspense. Anyone who enjoys reading a mafia love story will enjoy this one. The story allow the reader to see a different side to the characters while the suspense kept me from putting to book down until I was finished. Great story to read!
April 6, 2025
As usual, Sienna doesn’t disappoint. When I read the last few pages of the last book, I couldn’t wait to read about Antonio. I read most of this book in one sitting and had to know how it would end. Serena is a bad*** and Antonio is to die for.

“I may have taken her hostage in a blind quest for revenge, but she captured my heart in return”
When I grow up I want to be Serena. The confidence this woman has is astounding! Her moral compass and compassion is insane given the world that she has grown up in! She’s feisty, confident, and she’s got good aim! Her love for her family is unmatched.
Antonio’s world is slowly crumbling, and his internal battle between good and evil is starting to truly confuse him. Who is he? What does he want? Why is Serena making him question everything he’s always known?
The twists and turns of this story will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the very end.
A story of blind trust, redemption, constant conflict, and love in the most unconventional way will leave you wanting more!

Antonio!!!!!! 😍😍😍
This man is amazing in every way. Yes he does kidnap her but do we really think that’s a red flag? Okay, okay maybe it is but he means well and he instantly swoons for her!
Serena is a bad a**! She’s strong and fights for everything and everyone she believes in and loves. At first she’s annoyed about the kidnapping but when she finds out the plans for her cousin she knows it’s better to stay where she is.

Liked the storyline but it just too boring to keep going. Such a shame. I do love a well written mafia story

I was wondering how they were going to redeem Antonio after the last book, and at the end of it all, they did a decent job. I wanted more words between Antonio and Raf, and Luca before they all took to their relationship. I also wanted to see more of Luca. Considering that his one and only daughter was kidnapped by the same enemies they fought in the last book, he almost couldn't be bothered to save her. What was he doing that was so important he couldn't leave. It was all weird and not at all the Luca I loved in his own story.
That being said, the story progresses as expected. Antonio and Serena both fight their feelings until they absolutely cannot any more. Serena especially is given the opportunity to leave him behind a few times but she stays with him to save him. He also does what he can to save her, when he's not dying from a bullet wound himself. The spice was definitely hot, and they had a handful of sweet moments. I did not see the twist coming of Serena's friend betraying her. I also didn't get enough of her cousins in this book. That being said, I cannot wait for Alessandro's brook - I love a wounded MMC healed (literally) by the FMC nurse!!
Lastly, the amount of times the word crimson is in this book is ridiculous. There are other words for red, and other way to describe that "seeing red" expression.

Look. I liked this storyline more than Ruthless Guardian, but it’s not my favorite mafia series. I ended up clicking through the spicy scenes just to get through it a bit faster. And you mean to tell me that Antonio woke up after being unconscious for two days and the first thing he does is start hooking up?
That being said, will likely read the next book because Ale and his live in nurse seem fun.
