King's Captive by Piper StoneMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
King’s Captive by Piper Stone is book one in the Merciless King series. The story is a page turner which follows Emily and Christiano’s dark relationship and what happens when one crosses the Mafia. Emily witnesses a crime that puts Chris in jail for a number of years, but once he is out, he is going to own her, body and soul and heaven help anyone or anything that stands in his way!
This is a well written story which jumps straight into the action and doesn’t let go. Emily and Christiano’s relationship is dark, full of BDSM elements, violence and at times some brutal moments. I loved reading about the twist and turns that both characters have gone through to get to where they are as well as the family element that comes from Christiano’s story, which at times is complex and does make him more vulnerable and human. Christiano is harsh towards Emily at the beginning, but as his feelings start to grow, we see a change in him, yes their love is harsh, dangerous and at times brutal but there is a vulnerability with them that comes through when you’re reading, especially when both characters know how quickly life can change for them.
Emily was also an intriguing character. Although she is dominated by Christiano, she isn’t scared to tell him what she thinks or to protect him when she needs too.
There is plenty of actions, suspense, sexy scenes and great characters to keep you turning the pages to see what happens. Yes, this is a standalone, so things do get tied up in the end, but it also leaves you wanting to know more about this series and who’ll get their story told next. Overall, a really good mafia read!
Warning: this book does have some triggers that other readers might find sensitive.
