Charm

Brutal Kings #7

by Mya Grey

CHARM is Book 2 - and an extended series to Brutal Kings Collection, unexpected and forbidden enemies-to-lovers fake-marriage romance.


I rescued her.
We spent a steamy night together.
Now she’s mine.


I saved her, claimed her, made her mine.

If they come for her again… I’ll kill them.

Taking her home feels right, even though I know it’s wrong.

She asked me to be her fake husband as a joke.

I’m not in a joking mood when it comes to her safety.

Still, I agreed to play along with the sham marriage. And given that I can’t keep my
hands off her, it’s a convincing show we’re putting on. This is a dangerous game, one we both might lose.

But I have no intention of losing Andy.

I won’t let her go. Even when this is over, there’s no way I can give her up. She’s mine.

My secrets, though, might drive a wedge between us. One that can’t be fixed easily. A secret involving her brother, Kyle, and his death.

She’s in my blood now, more intoxicating than any drink, more addictive than any drug, and when everything blows up in my face, I’ll do anything to shield her from the blast… but she’ll hate me for my secrets.

I’ll keep her safe regardless of her feelings about me.

This couple continues to keep me enthralled in their relationship and in their undeniable chemistry amongst other things. I seriously cannot wait for book 3.

[Aղցela W. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a pretty good read. Mateo will do anything to keep Andy safe and when she jokes about getting married he agrees. Both of them have feelings for each other. They have a lot of secrets between them. I loved how Mateo put her parents in check when they meet and I really hated them when her mother told him about Andy being assaulted and humiliated and they did nothing about it. I love reading this series. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

From white knight hot as sin savior to fiancé! Mateo and Andy are scorching pages and quickly falling. Things are beginning to be revealed about her father, her brother’s death, the reasoning for the arranged marriage, and how Mateo and Dario are connected to it all. What was supposed to be a simple engagement and marriage of convenience for Andy and Mateo is getting more complicated by the day because the inevitable happened…they start catching feelings.

Book 2 of this series doesn't disappoint,  especially with all the steamy scenes. It also doesn't disappoint with that actual story line. Seeing these 2 characters start falling for eachother, but not admitting it to themselves or anyone else, it just makes me smile. Awe, new love..

In this book, Andy is in a tough situation and needs Mateo's help. Her parents have promised her to the man who had her kidnapped, and was a big problem in her past, and are not happy with what she has to say about it. Mateo is there by her side to provide the support she needs when dealing with them, and that just made me swoon even harder for that man. I mean, who wouldn't love to have someone come to your defense and make the other people back off and shrink away.

But there's still the issue with Mark. Will he just let her go without a fight or will he show back up into her life. Well, if the cliff hanger is any indication, we better buckle up because book 3 is going to be a bumpy ride! I can't wait!!

Mateo and Andy are the hottest couple!

I love the way Mya Grey writes these stories. You get to know the characters in a short amount of time. Seeing how they struggle with their real-world decisions.

Like Andy and how she needs to get away from whatever evil plan her father has concocted. How deep is he in with Mark Whitlock? The uncovering of Andy's past and that of her late brother are heart-wrenching.

The whole time, though, Mateo is there to help her. Yes, they have amazing sex, but you can see that their relationship keeps growing beyond their original sexual attraction. Mateo standing up to her parents is one of the greatest scenes written in these books so far.

I'm hooked on this dark romance and I can't wait for book 3!!!

Great book 2. I am loving this series.
This book was just perfect addition to Nook 1. Matthew and Andy are so good together and each has secrets that could harm the life they are building. I loved their chemistry. And I can't wait to read book 3. I received a free ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.

[Bren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy smokes Mateo and Nikki's story turns up the heat on the passion and action. The twist and turns in this book are thrilling and Mateo is one hot alpha w/ a strong protective instinct for Nikki. It's only book two and I'm already jonesing for the third book.

[Michèle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book sees Mateo and Andy getting to know each other and trying to piece together each other's secrets. It's hot and steamy in a way only Mya Grey can deliver. I can't wait for book 3.

Wow! This is an edge of your seat, page turner. Excitement, adrenaline pumping, sexy read, for sure! Just WOW!

[Liana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mateo is falling for Andy but she keeps pushing him away. One minute she wants him then other times she doesn’t. However she really needs him as things take a turn for the worse.

[Lisa O'D · Rating 5 out of 5]

This page turning story of Andy and Mateo continues in book 2.

Mateo is determined to ensure that Andy continues her escape from her captor safely, but when someone tries to kill Andy and the whole truth to the reason behind the kidnap is revealed, they come up with a plan to avoid the deal that her father made. Once they arrive home, Andy decides to challenge her father, only to be summons to her parents house. She arrives with Mateo and I loved how the visit went! There is so much heat between Mateo and Andy as they struggle to fight the hot chemistry between them but what happens when they attend a party ... another excellent cliffhanger, that's what! I cannot wait for book 3, this is one series not to be missed.

This is my honest, voluntary review after receiving a arc from the author.

Mateo is still trying to save Andy

Mateo is still there for Andy. He wants to take Mark Whitlock down. He's after Andy and is determined to marry her. There is no way he will let this happen.
He is starting to have feelings for her.
He went to dinner at her parents' house and found them a loveless pair. They couldn't be civil to her.
He finally stood up to them and told them off. He told them he was marrying Andy. They also thought Andy was pregnant, and her father told her to get rid of it. The father is desperate for Andy to marry Mark.
Mateo is determined to find out why.
He's not ready to let go of Andy before taking down Mark Whitlock and Andy's father.
Can he keep her safe, or will Mark Whitlock get what he wants? I guess we have to read the next book to find out.
Another great story by Mya Grey

Yes, Mateo rescued Andy and they have lots of steam so much you will need a fan. But will it just be another casual “thing” or will this hot couple start to catch feelings for one another. When they attend a party as a couple will Mark be there to cause trouble?

This book has so much to look forward to that you don’t want to miss it and the ending left me with my mouth hanging open. Andy and Mateo are well on their way to becoming one of my favorite couples that Mya has written so far. These are my honest opinions and after receiving an arc copy of this book I am voluntarily leaving my review.

[T S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loving this series!! This is book 2 for Mateo & Andy (Andrea) and starts after Mateo hears a familiar name, the man Andy was promised to marry by her corrupt family. After Mateo saving her from a life-threatening incident, they both return to his apartment where they share passion and feelings that are building but they strongly try to deny. We also start to learn more about Andy’s past with her family, as well as Mateo’s familiarity to them from his FBI days.

I received an advanced copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[K. Smock · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second installment in the new Brutal Kings stories. The romance between Matteo and Andy heats up and they plan how to get her out of her current predicament. The more time they spend together, the harder it seems to be for both of them to keep their hands off each other. They need to make it real looking, fight? This was another quick read and looking forward to seeing what happens and if they will stick as a couple or not?

I voluntarily wrote this review from reading an advanced copy of this book.

[Maz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving how the story is developing. So much more is being revealed, Mateo has secrets that could hurt Andy and he doesn't want to lose her. They're both falling in love unknowingly but also trying not to. I felt so sad for Andy when she met her parents. They're horrible bullies and was so glad she had Mateo to stand up for her. I loved that part. As always the Steamy scenes are just perfect.
I can't wait to read next book as I need to know what happens. It ends with Mark crashing the party to claim Andy back.

[Sue Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Andy and Mateo’s story continues. The pair continue their ‘escape’ from Andy’s former lover. Some questions are answered in this story, and others are posed. I enjoyed the writing of the particularly distasteful scene when Andy reunites with her parents – with Mateo in tow! The last chapter of this story ends in a cliff hanger as the ‘villain’ of the piece makes a reappearance – somewhat like Banquo’s ghost in Macbeth!! Can’t wait to read the next ‘episode’!

[Marilyn Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Matteo comes looking for Andy after she had been kidnapped. It seems her father is involved and has plans with another man that makes Andy to wonder what’s going on! But Matteo is there after he finds her and this brings them a lot closer. Their attraction is getting stronger and he soon rescued her and takes her to his apartment. But she overhears him talking and wonders who is all involved in the mess that’s happening? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

[Carolyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Andy in the previous books and I loved this book. She wanted Mateo but not for a relationship. Fate had another idea. Their fake engagement comes complete with org@sms like she’s never had. There is also secrets Andy has kept since her teens and the monster is back and has bought her for millions of dollars from her father. This book has nasty parents, a monster with money and prestige, love, lots of steam and love. It’s a wild ride so buckle up and hang on.

[Sara Jacobs · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mateo and Andy, where do I even begin. Their story is like no other. Mya and her writing makes me feel as though I am a part of their story. The way it ends ripped my heart out. The next book can not come soon enough. I need to see Mateo take Mark out and be able to protect Andy everyday. I need to read more on their love story and read that they have a HEA.

[J.p · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story continues. Matteo has always resigned himself to staying a bachelor but on a spin of a coin that plan is out the window. In order to save Andi from whatever evil plan her dad has concocted she is now his fiancée. The sparks are still there, they are a scorching couple. Mya really has left me wanting more. Can’t wait for book 3. Seriously addicting read.

[Sammye · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mateo’s and Andy’s story continues in book #7 in the Brutal Kings series. This is a fascinating adventure that just keeps getting better with each book. Lots of drama, twists and chemistry. What could possibly happen next!? Great series. *this was a complimentary copy and this is my honest review*

[Earleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Matteo to the rescue.

The chemistry between Matteo and Andy is getting stronger after Matteo rescued her.It’s seems that Andy father sold her to pay his debts.Would a fake engagement be enough to get her father and Mark off her back.I purchased this book so my review is complimentary.

[Helen King · Rating 4 out of 5]

still building!!

The series is still building and I’m loving every second of it. I’m falling in love with this couple as much as the couple is falling for each other. I’m really into how their Relationship is blossoming little by little. I love that Mateo is such a gentleman but his feelings have grown so deep and the self-talk he gives himself is hilarious. Can’t wait for more…

[barbie hartman · Rating 5 out of 5]

"I'm nobody's pawn."

Mateo and Andy are targets. This is a short read full of passion, twists, villains, violence and surprises. It's a quick read, only 112 pages. I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning to get storyline and background on the characters, starting with Owned.

[Loreli Jessee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so exciting, I can’t wait for the next installment. Andy has endured so much, I know Mateo will do all in his power to make them pay. There is so much danger, drama, passion, and so much more, I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely love this series.
