ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 11, 2021

He’s my only cure. And my deadliest poison.

Once upon a time, a scarred beast met a broken beauty.

But to keep my kingdom and appease the Bratva High Council, I’m going to marry a man who’s family my family tried to destroy.

A man who looks at me with cold, brutal blue eyes. A man whose very presence sucks the air from my lungs. A man with no past, shrouded in scars, pain, and darkness.

The rules are simple: get in, get out, don’t fall for the terrifying and magnetically gorgeous Lukas Komarov.

Because this isn’t really about me. This is about securing a future for my sick sister. Even if that means binding myself to a man who hates me.

‘Til death do us part…but that’s going to come quicker than anyone knows.

You see, this story has an expiration date. I have an expiration date.

In six months, I’ll be dead.

They say love is a battle.

And I’ve got nothing to lose.

REVIEW:BRUTAL KING is the third instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, young adult/new adult SAVAGE HEIRS dark, erotic, Bratva romance series. This is eighteen year old Lizbet Belsky, and Lukas Komarov’s story line. BRUTAL KING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence and abuse there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Although most of the characters are high school aged, and attend a private, boarding school for the elite, royal, rich or connected, the story line contains adult situations, therefore I do not recommend for anyone under eighteen years of age.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lizbet and Lukas) BRUTAL KING follows the marriage of convenience between eighteen years olds Lizbet Belsky, and Lukas Komarov. Two years earlier, Lizbet Belsky’ father Semyon was gunned down in a Bratva war. No love loss between Lizbet and her father but a desperate need finds our heroine facing the heads of the Bratva family, aiming to take control of her father’s empire but Lizbet never expected to come face to face with Lukas Komarov, one of the ruling kings at England’s Oxford Hall Academy, and a particular nasty thorn in our heroine’s side. The heads of the Bratva families are not easily swayed and reluctantly make Lizbet choose losing everything or marrying on one of the sons of the Bratva families. Enter Lukas Komarov, and the man with whom Lizbet would fall in love. What ensues is the acrimonious relationship between Lukas and Lizbet, and the potent fall-out as Lukas’ demons begin to take over, and our heroine stands in the direct line of fire.

Lukas Komarov’s backstory is dangerous and dark; heart breaking and demented, thusly, controlling the monster within. Lukas, unable to control the demons from his past, uses pain, in an effort to excise the memories and the dragon that demands to be released. Lizbet is a reminder of everything that went wrong, everything that Lukas cannot control. Lizbet Belsky knows her time is limited, and in this, she is desperate to gain control of her late father’s estate but the Bratva families demand payment for her father’s sins, and this Lizbet is to be made an example, an example that will fall for the man that wants to destroy her life.

The relationship between Lizbet and Lukas is acrimonious at best. Lukas wants nothing to do with our story line heroine believing she is not worthy of attending the prestigious Oxford Hall Academy. With her father’s history, and sins against the reigning Bratva families, Lizbet is persona non grata, and in this, is desperate to gain control before everything is for naught but as Lukas and Lizbet begin to reveal a little bit about their pasts, the pain and darkness begin to engulf our story line couple. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Bratva Prince/heir Ilya Volkov and Tenley Chambers (Savage Heir 1), Mischa Tsavakov and princess Charlotte Bergendem (Savage Prince 2), as well as Lukas’ adopted parents Victor and Fiona, Bratva heir Konstantin Resnikov, and Lizbet’s roommate Julianna McCreed.

BRUTAL KING is a dark and dangerous story of power and control, betrayal and revenge, creed, desperation, abuse and torture. The premise is raw; the romance is dramatic; the characters are broken, desperate, and determined.

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.

Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.

When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside–rain or shine.
