Ruthless King (Savage Kings of New York, #5)

This was an explosive finale to the Savage Kings series. I loved how the overarching plot of the secrets held by Donna Margarita is solved but also leads to other questions regarding the Bratva. I resonated with each character in Ruthless King one way or another and I couldn't put my Kindle down.

Stephano and Oksana's story is one of my faves in this series; Oksana is an absolute baddie and her penchant for violence had me in stitches. Stephano starts the story as a man bound by duty and honor towards his family but as the story unfolds, the familial illusions drop and he puts everything on the line to protect what's his. I loved the banter and the chemistry between Steph and Ana, especially during the action scenes.

Such a great book and while I'm sad that the New York side is over, I am eagerly anticipating Vegas's turn.
