Publisher's summary

A Top 100 Amazon best seller

My fiancé is the anti-Prince Charming....

Mateo Villani is darkness wrapped in Armani. He's a six-foot-tall, ruggedly handsome savage, a notorious gangster who's bedded half of Manhattan...and now he's my fiancé.

My father betrayed me, signing my life away to the cocky bastard whose personality is colder than a block of ice. Mateo crushed my ambitions when he slid his ring onto my finger. He stole my life away, and now he's determined to mold me into a dutiful mob wife.

But I have news for him: I obey no one.

As the days pass, I am more and more determined to hate him, to resist the fantasies that swirl through my mind when he’s near. But before long, I can't live without the bound wrists, his rough hands, and sinful body.

I find myself longing for him...and his punishment.

I despise my fiancé. But it doesn’t stop me from craving him even more.

Great start to a series

Savage ruler had what we come to expect from the mafia genre and one I haven't read much about: a strong heroine in the mafia. Matthew and heaven had instant chemistry from the start and made for some sizzling scenes when they were intimate. There was betrayal, action commaction karma and annoying characters that you wanted to smack lol. Sarah and Tor did a great job narrating and I think their voices seemed to match the characters and their personalities.

Had Potential

This felt like like an early draft of the story. The transitions felt abrupt, and the character changes too quick. There were some great concepts, but it needed some refinement.

The FMC lacked a level of calculation, and follow through.
The female narrator didn’t help. How can you mispronounce so many words?

Male narrator was great. MMC was a better version of many gangsters in perception of woman in business.

Loved this book!

This book was truly great to listen to, and I ❤️ the male narrators voice. He's perfect to play Matteo. Overall, the storyline was great. I just wish the rest of the books were on audio, too.

Decent mafia romance

3.5 stars

Savage Ruler is book 1 in the Sinfully Savage series. Mateo and Heaven’s story was a fast paced mafia romance. While I did enjoy their story overall, I felt like their connection and mafia world could have been better developed. Although the blurb states there is no cliffhanger, the ending felt like a cliffy.

Tor Thom and Sarah Puckett did a good job portraying these characters.

Tor Thom sounds like he's reading a school essay

Great Story. I love Matteo and Heaven. Great character development. Great "bedroom" scenes. Sarah does an okay job reading, but Tor's reading is so monotonous. I love the timbre of his voice, but no feeling with any of his reading. I ended up buying the ebook instead.

Mateo and Heaven

This mafia story is what I expect. Danger, drama, secrets, betrayal,
Mateo, the ultimate alpha is Conniving, strategist, ,playing both sides, to come out a winner , just biding his time to destroy one cartel and take over the other..
He didnt expect to fall in love with Heaven, the mob boss daughter.
She's not a wallflower, she's strong , independent, oh has a temper.
Together, they are hot, steamy. both are slow to trust each other.
this story is exciting, action packed, danger, with a cliffhanger that makes me wanting for more.
Sarah Puckett and Tor thom are exceptional.storyteller s. Sarah Puckett, as usual, brings.life to her characters. Tor Thom deep, sexy voice, is what I envision the hot Mateo would sound like. like. Thank you for a great listen.

Loved the Story

I enjoyed their relationship. So many times the women in the Mafi stories are fragile and weak but Heaven was strong and self assured. The bedroom scenes were good. Would have been happy with more scenes with more details;)

Pretty Good

This is my first book by Kristin Luciani and I must say, I really enjoyed it. I'm on a dark Mafia kick and this one did not disappoint. FMC & MMC are both strong and have strong chemistry from the start.

The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. I look forward to the rest of the series. I was provided a copy of the book for an honest review but the opinion is entirely my own.
