Cruel King #2
Mob Princess
Can I go from being a pawn… to claiming the throne?
I know who murdered my parents, and now, vengeance is my top priority. My Uncle may think he has me outmatched—but he couldn’t be more wrong.
Because I have him. Israel Rossi.
The man I was supposed to hate, manipulate and ultimately... destroy.
They say ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ and Israel isn’t a man you want to challenge. For now, we are allies, but our tenuous agreement could change at any moment.
I can’t lie. Israel is a powerful distraction from the pain raining down on me. He’s Dominating. Strong. Fierce. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a man, and that’s more dangerous than the bounty on my head. This marriage may be fake, but the passion we share is very real. And even after all the lies and betrayals…there might still be a chance for us.
But everything we’ve built may suddenly come crashing down; because Israel’s family has stepped into the picture—and dead or alive—they want me out.
Mob Princess is the second book in the dark mafia romance trilogy, Cruel King, from author Callie Vincent. This book contains dark themes and is intended for readers 18+

Israel is a bit of a prick lol.!! Again the second book is a page turner. Things start to unfold for Bonnie. Israel now knows what all her plans were, her uncle wants them dead for her betrayal but even though Israel doesn't trust Bonnie he protects and and doesn't let her go. She stand by his side no matter what. I love the back and forth between them both. She really wants him but he's haven't none of it lol. I absolutely love her.
With Bonnie family after them and now Israel brother and father are after them, thing goes from bad to worse for a minute.

There were a few gaps in the story and don’t blend well. Her name was different at one point in the book. I feel like it has so much more potential.

not so great
I was really excited after reading the first book, but unfortunately, the second one didn’t live up to my expectations. The summary promised a thrilling plot filled with betrayal and internal conflict, which initially hooked me, but as the story progressed, I found myself losing interest.
One of the biggest issues for me was Bonnie’s character development. I expected her to be more fearless and stronger, given her background and the dangerous world she’s in. While there are moments where we see her strength, most of the time she’s focused on being recognized by Israel, which became frustrating. Yes, the mission started with her being tasked to kill him, but her constant inner conflict and thoughts about trying harder for his approval made her character feel less empowered than I had hoped.
Another major downside was the lack of clarity about who the true villain is. There’s so much going on, but it’s hard to tell who the real threat is supposed to be, and that confusion weakened the overall impact of the story.
At this point, I’m unsure if I’ll continue with the series and read the final book. The potential is there, but the lack of direction and character focus left me disappointed and disinterested. I hope the series can regain some of the momentum it lost, but as of now, I’ve lost my connection to the story.

Push n pull
I enjoyed the book .I like it when they don't do the fall in love and bed fast but have to work for it
But
I had to deduct one star for the porno sex talk the female character had going on. It was disturbing.😬
Over all it was interesting enough and had plenty of plot to keep me reading. She went about trying to prove herself all wrong and he really wanted her to be a liar so she was really batting 0 all the way. I can say id left his butt long time ago and took my chances with dear old uncle chasing me. In the end it kept me reading and that's a good book to me ( writer get the porno talk out . You'll do better for it )

This book solidified my thoughts that this 3 part series should have been one book. Because this would be the middle of the book and it felt that way.
I hated the way both Bonnie and Israel reacted to the situations around them. I hated that they did that thing in romantic novels where they’re not talking and listening to each basically working against each other…
But yet I held on through the violence (lots of violence) because the families are gunning for them hoping that part 3 brings the happily ever after.

Great read!
Bonnie and Israel’s story continues in the second part of the Cruel King series. Family betrayal seems to be the headline in this story. Between Israel’s father and brother, I don’t know which one is worse. Bonnie stuck by Israel not matter how bad he treated her and he finally realized her commitment to him. The third story is setting up to be epic!

This series was good in parts and others it was incredibly frustrating. I mean the whole trust issue from start to finish was a bit much. But I did appreciate the ending quite a bit. It's a quick read, in fact the whole series is. So if you want to devour something fast then this might do it for you.

Trust Me
I usually love Mafia romances. This one did not cut it for me. Israel was not a strong enough character to be the head of family. If my not real husband treated me the way Israel did Bonnie, I’d have left. I would have been crushed to have my husband believe his father and brother over me. Israel would not listen. Bonnie was too wishy washy. Disappointed!!!!

Things are crazy and trust is non-existent.
Bonnie and Israel have been through a lot together, but Israel still doesn't trust Bonnie at all. If these two don't start working together everything could fall apart. This is book two in the Cruel King series so be prepared for a cliffhanger ending and make sure to read book one before reading this book.

Needs heavily edited. Name wrong at one point, first person perspective sometimes and then third person others. Some parts didn’t mesh from one chapter to the next. Also the issue with the trust thing on Israel’s part got annoying. Like why did she need to stay in your home if you didn’t trust her. Put her in a safe house.

Save your money.
Struggled to finish and mostly skimmed to get through it. Some typos such as his brothers name Giovanni entered as Giovanna. Rushed plot, basic language and cringe worthy dialogs. Not nearly as developed as the 1st book. It felt rushed and thrown together despite having potential for a good read.

So in love with this series!
I'm a very finicky reader. It takes a lot to get my interested in a book. Since book one ive been hooked. This book just brought me even more into the world of Bonnie and Israel.

Well huh starting the book with a solid 80% interest in mind. and then it went down quicker than you can imagine. only towards the end, the story escalated for a little bit and started to get interesting.

I loved this trilogy. It is filled with deception, betrayal, plotting, vengeance, assassinations, and chemistry. The MCs are defined, somewhat likable, but they grow on you. There is a possibility of a HEA in this engaging and entertaining collection.

I really liked this book; however, the amount of misspelled words 😫 killed me. Not to mention a completely different character name was used 😳 like what? It said Isabel, umm who even is that?! Her name is Bonnie. 🫠 Like what?! I did not let any of this affect my rating. I still think it’s a good read.

Second Book
Great read. Israel started to realize that Bonnie wasn’t what he thought or his family. Steam was good, story line was good. Wanted more of some closure with the uncle, but I guess may 3rd book will give the closure.

liked them
They’re short books but the story is still cute. It kinda skips about a bit but enough to the story you can figure it out. It’s cute.
