Brutal Kings #3
Ruled
Book 3 of Brutal Kings Series
I’ve fallen in love…
…with a monster.
What’s a girl to do?
He’s a monster
But I love him
I thought he loved me
I thought wrong…
In the bedroom, he’s my hero.
Out of bed, he’s distant, cruel, and only warm enough to keep people from whispering.
I thought I’d found a softer side of him. Maybe I was wrong.
Over a family holiday, my feelings for him become undeniably strong and I’d swear he felt the same way.
But he says he doesn’t love me.
And he’s pushing me away.
My heart is breaking because the man I’d thought was a villain seemed like my savior for a moment. Now I know the truth; he’s never going to love me and my heart might not survive him.

This was book 3 in the
"Brutal Kings"
series. This book picks up after the last one left off Nikki is in love with Dario but she thinks he is a monster. Dario’s dad who I didn't like has his plans for Dario. He wants Dario to kick Nikki out of his life and find an Italian woman and marry her. But Dario wants Nikki so he decides to take a vacation and try to live a normal life with Nikki and Danni but he wants to be honest with her and tell her about his past. This was a pretty good read Dario has feelings for Nikki but he knows that he has to keep her save. Nikki ask to go home and they walk right into a trap. This was a good read this book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

This is book 3 of the series. This time Nikki and Dario are not hiding their feelings. She began to know about Dario’s dad and his plans with Dario. He wants Dario to kick Nikki out of his life and find an Italian woman and marry her. But Dario wants Nikki, she is the only woman for him. But he knows she is too good for him. He decided to take a vacation and try to live a normal life with Nikki and Danni but he wants to be honest with her and tell her all his dark stories. Once Nikki knew he was a murderer, she asked him to come back and give her space. However,they are heading to a fatal trap that could separate them forever. Will they be able to escape from that trap alive? I can’t wait to read the next book. The story is getting better and better. Highly recommended.

In book 3 Ruled it becomes clear who is ruling who!
Nikki has had enough of the woman parading around Dario so she fights for her man in the most possessive way which thrills Dario!
There is a shock in store for Nikki when Dario's son has a birthday party and the whole family is invited and Dario's father blurts it out........
Dario wont stand for it and stands up to his father in this regard and takes Nikki and Danielle away for a couple of days where he opens up to Nikki regarding his violent past.....
This revelation leads to a more dangerous situation and they are all left vulnerable!
Will Nikki ever forgive and accept the man she has fallen in love with was a monster but has changed?
What will happen to Dario when he finally leaves himself open and vulnerable?
This series by Mya Grey is really getting nail biting, seat clutching intense and I love it!

Nikki definitely has strong feelings for Dario and she thinks he has feelings for her even though he keeps trying to push her away. Dario is being pressured by his father and the family to find a nice Italian wife that will give him children and strengthen the business. However, Dario is not interested because he wants nothing to do with the family business. He is keeping his business legal and above board.
Will Dario admit he has feelings for Nikki? Will he come clean about growing up and what he did for his family? Will Nikki be able to understand his past life? Will Dario’s dad come between them? What about Daniele’s mother? Will she continue to bother them?
I’m on pins and needles waiting to find out all the answers.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
Dario and Nikki are so hot.
Something about the way Mya tells this story makes you want more and more.
Ruled continues the story of Nicole Love being sold to Dario to pay off her father's debt. Or was it? Her father is a real jerk. This book shows you how bad he really is. Now I feel bad for Nikki's sister.
I love the growing love story between Dario and Nikki, and how much he really does love her. He loves her so much, he tells her the truth about his past. She doesn't take it too well and it hurts all of them.
This story will have you going from start to finish! I can't wait until Book 4

And it begins…
We’ve finally reached the point of why you read mafioso books. Ok, what I don’t like: Nikki is a pediatric ER nurse by profession. While maybe not a lot of kids have gunshot wounds, but there must be inadvertent car accidents. She shouldn’t lose her head in a crisis like Nikki is doing. She eventually gets her head together and provides some emergency procedures. What I like about the book is this author has taken her time to build the drama of this story. I like how she has developed the emotional relationship and the obligation to the mob. I am really enjoying this series.

Just when I think Mya can’t top a series, she always surprises me. Book 3 in this series is by far 5-star worthy. We know that Nikki has fallen hard for Dario but in this book, he is fighting his feelings for her as they get stronger and stronger. He wants to tell her the truth about who is or was and the things he’s done but will she be able to accept the truth. Then as always Mya drop a bomb of an ending and leaves me needing to know what happens next. I need book 4 now. Thanks again for allowing me an arc copy of Ruled and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Nikki thanks Dario lives her but he still keeps trying to push her away. His father and family are trying to get him to get rid of her and get a nice Italian woman for a wife s that the blood in the children will be pure. He doesn’t want the business to change as he’s taken it to be legitimate. Will he tell them he’s staying with Nikki and he doesn’t care what they think? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Ruled continues the dark story between Dario and Nikk. This book sees the return of Dani’s mother as she threatens Dario to meet her demands or lose his child. Dani and Nikki are becoming close as she serves as his nanny. The relationship between Dario and Nikki shifts until several truths are revealed. This exciting book ends in a heart stopping cliffhanger. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Wow!! That ending....I can't wait for the next book!!
Nikki and Dario are starting to get closer as the drama in their relationships starts to increase. I love how caring and attentive Dario is starting to be in this book. I was really disappointed in the way that Nikki reacted to Dario when he confessed what he used to do for his family. This book was intense with plenty of action, danger, and steam.

Control
Nikki realized what her exact situation is with Dario. Dani unfortunately was surrounded by too many adults. Nikki was trying to jeep him as a young child for as long as possible. Dario decided to open up about his life. The good and the bad. Nikki was shocked. She now has most of his story. But she's going to have a rude awakening when the rest surface.
Too many short books for this story. Either have one book or two at the most. I'm glad I have Kindle Unlimited.

Dario and Nikki story continues in this book part 3 and as we find out more information we also see Nikki demanding to know who is Dario but when she finds out, can she believe him? So much more but we still have to wait for more! You'll hate her father! You’ll love this series!

Wow! This series is just getting better with each addition! I’m So loving Dario and Nikki’s hot relationship. I was, however, disappointed in her reaction to his “work” confession. I mean, has she had blinders on this whole time? I cannot wait to read Possessed. *this honest review is based on a complimentary copy from the author*

The h is dick whipped and is so whinny...
The way she reacted to his confession... Like, she knows he's mob, a bad guy, did she expected the guy to be a saint?!?
He did buy her and basically "raped" her the first time they're together so why was she so surprised! Just over drama...
Then, he needs her and she is just useless! Again to much drama

Ruled rocks
Part 3, how can I say this... oh goodness, yes please, oh no, and why now!?! This story is far from over! It's actually just beginning. It's as if the previous 2 parts were just setting the background. Now we're getting to the nitty-gritty! Bring it on Ms. Grey! We can handle it!

Used as collateral...
Dario and Nikki's passionate relationship begins to change and many dark, twisted secrets are revealed. Their story gets suspenseful as violence and terror amps up and ends with a cliffhanger. Book one in this series is only 57 pages, book 2 is 70 pages, and this book, # 3 is 101 pages long. They should be combined as one book, not three separate books!

Nikki & Dario’s story continues. I am loving this series and can’t wait to find out how it all turns out. There is more light and shade in this ‘instalment’. I loved the way Nikki starts to stand up for herself as her feelings deepen, and pushes back with Dario – surprising both of them! I also liked the way the darkness of Dario’s family intrudes causing the reader to wonder how the attitude of his father & grandfather will affect their relationship and future. The heat of their interactions becomes intense until revelations are made on a ‘family’ holiday that halt Nikki’s growing feelings for Dario. The book ends on an exciting climax that had me eagerly awaiting ‘Possessed’, the next chapter in their story

Nikki has a change of feelings for Dario but does he feel the same? His family is against there relationship, he has trouble coming from ever direction and just when things get better disaster comes can Nikki save Dario? Great series really cannot wait for the 4th book

Plenty of revelations
This book had plenty of revelations that added more detail and depth. The characters attraction continues to grow as they encounter adversity. And another shocking cliffhanger adds to the drama.

Ruled is book three in the series Brutal Kings by author Mya Grey. Goodness this one gets deep. So firstly let me say Dario’s father is a @$$! Ok got that off my chest. Someone has betrayed them and someone might not make it. Just when the truth came out.
Enjoy!!

No more secrets
Book 3 finally shares the secret life of Dario. We get a sneak peek into what a normal relationship would look like between these two. The question remains, what will happen between them after Nikki learns about his dark past.

Brutal Cliffhanger
This book was longer than the previous ones and it packed the emotions. It was unexpected and all the more of a gut punch for the sweetness that we got before the expected turmoil and then BAM. 💥

The saga continues and I for one enjoyed Ruled. Their dynamics are on point and the story just gets better. Nikki is really coming into her own and developing a backbone. Can’t wait for the continuation. Some really great writing and steam 🔥and the drama continues. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love this series. I can't wait to see what happens next. I have read Possessed already so I know that Dario doesn't die. Looking forward to reading the last book in this series.

Such a good continuation to the story. Dario is trying to fight his feelings. Nikki is finding her voice and using it. I can’t wait to read what happens next.
