I always enjoy a mafia romance, so Vicious Heir was right up my alley. The character progression was great, I sympathized with Angel and Emma’s situation differently. The only qualm I would have would be the pacing of the events. Everything at the beginning of the novel happened to quickly.

I didn't think I was going to like this book. She saved him and he had a life debt to pay by marrying her. His father made him marry her. Then his father saw Emma was making him soft decided to have her killed. I didn't think that made sense. I did like to she made the best out of it. She also had a backbone and didn't really let them walk all over her. I will give it 4 stars. That cliffhanger have to know what happened.

This Book is the first book in a mafia romance series. It follows the story of Emma who is kidnapped after witnessing a fight between two rival families. She is then forced into marrying her captor and is trying to make the best of it, while adapting to being part of a crime family.

This book is one I picked up and finished in a day. The story line kept moving and was interesting enough for me to not want to put the book down. If you enjoy mafia romance, force marriage, or books where the villain gets the girl it is definitely worth a read!

With that being said while the story line felt set up to be an enemy to lovers kind of book, I felt as if they fell in love very fast and there was no real fight on that end. Didn't take away from the story at all, just not what I expected from the summary of the book. There was also some grammatical errors where the story seemed to switch from first person to third person in some sentences.

Your classic enemies-to-lovers trope, but make it mafia. When Emma saves Angel at a club, he owes her a life debt and she is imprisoned while they do a background check to ensure she isn't working for their enemies. Both are forced into a marriage by Angel's father as a punishment. But will it end up working out that way?? They can't deny the attraction brewing between them, no matter how difficult it is for Emma to accept the man she may be falling for is a dangerous killer. There's action, betrayal, spice, and QUITE the cliffhanger. I can't wait to read the next one to see how it all turns out!

I was given an advanced copy to read from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I saved his life. And he hates me for it.
My reward? A marriage to the devil.

I did really enjoy this book so much I read it in a day! The POV from Angel was my favorite. I loved that it kept you engaged from the first chapter and was nonstop action from the start. Not 10 chapters of building up to the excitement. Does have a dash of spice added into also, which never hurts.

I couldn’t put it down! It was an amazing book that you absolutely love. It starts off with a bang and ends the same way. You can’t help but love Angel and Emma as they work through a situation life throws at them. It does end in a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next book! I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5

i am so grateful to this book for pulling
me out of a reading slump!

i’m a complete sucker for a basic mafia romance, i can’t lie. it was so good and i was so happy to read it. i would definitely recommend it! be warned though, it does end in a cliffhanger
which was mentioned in the description
but i might have missed that and oh my god do i need the next book!!! i am gonna definitely need an arc for that one too!

This book is an average enemies to lovers story flavored with Spanish elements on it. The pacing is a bit slow for me and the story dragged at the middle. It lacks originality and witty banter. Also it seems that the characters were not fully developed. I felt that the erotic scenes was not as descriptive as books from the same genre. The ending was too predictable. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review this book.
