ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 15, 2022

He’s my twisted nightmare. And my most depraved fantasy.
He was sent to kill me on my twentieth birthday.
Instead, the beautiful monster with the lethal blue eyes takes me.
Kidnapped to the woods, the hauntingly gorgeous man shrouded in mystery, scars, and savagery doesn’t want my blood.
He doesn’t want a ransom from the powerful Bratva family I’m the only heir to.
He only wants me to run.
And he wants to chase.
Dark woods. Dark games. Dark desires.
But the deeper I sink into our sinful fantasies, the more I realize, my domineering captor isn’t playing games at all.
He’s playing for keeps.
And I’m the prize.

REVIEW: THE HUNTER KING is the first instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult THE HUNTED dark, erotic, Bratva, romance duet focusing on twenty year old Bratva princess and heir Tatiana Fairist aka Harriet, and thirty -five year old, Bratva assassin Kristoff Zima. The Hunted Duet is set in the same worlds as the Savage Heirs / Bratva’s Claim.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tatiana and Kristoff) using present day and memories from the past THE HUNTER KING focuses on the abduction of heroine, and the building but forbidden relationship between twenty year old Bratva princess and heir Tatiana and Kristoff Zima. One month earlier, , Tatiana lost her father to a supposed car accident but our heroine is missing several months to years of memories, and in this Tatiana struggles to uncover the truth. As the heir to her father’s Bratva empire, Tatiana has been targeted, and finds herself the prisoner of Bratva assassin Kristoff Zima but all is not well in Kristoff’s world as betrayal and power threaten to usurp everyone at the top. What ensues is the building relationship between Kristoff and Tatiana, and the potential fall-out when secrets and lies reveal a different past that neither Kristoff nor Tatiana are able to remember.

Tatiana Fairist grew up the only child of Peter Fairist, the head of the Balagula Bratva, and with her father’s death, Tatiana is about to face the wrath of the ‘high council’ in the face of inheriting her father’s money and control but someone else is waiting to assume the chair of the Balagula Bratva, and our heroine finds herself at the mercy of a killer who is quickly falling for his wounded prey. Kristoff Zima wants out but he has to do one more job before obtaining the final piece of information to locate someone he has lost but something about Tatiana stirs at Kristoff’s heart, and our hero finds himself falling for a woman who own life is spiralling out of control.

Their relationship between Tatiana and Kristoff begins acrimoniously as predator and prey. Tatiana is no stranger to looking after herself but she has no recollection of how or why she is able to fend off those trying to take her down. Keeping Tatiana safe means claiming Tatiana as his own but there is more than one predator taking aim at our story. Line heroine, and in this Tatiana must decide who is telling the truth, and who is telling the lie. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and aggressive, and not without some issues of questionable consent.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including Tatiana’s former step-mother Jana; Kirstoff’s ‘boss’ Boris Tsavakov; head of the Ghost Syndicate Mikhail Arakas; Kristoff’s friend and fellow assassin Marko. There is a slight cross over with some of the characters from The Bratva’s Claim series.

THE HUNTER KING is a story of power, control and obsession, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, obsession and delusion, fear and hate. The premise is dramatic, dark, gritty and twisted covering approximately two years in the life of our couple; the characters are broken, tragic, powerful and edgy; the romance is provocative and intense. THE HUNTER KING ends on cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 15, 2022

She’s my darkest obsession. And my only salvation.
Violence shattered us.
But she’s the one who stomped on the pieces.
Now, she thinks time, distance, and hiding from me means she’s escaped our games.
She’s wrong.
This time, when I catch her, I wont be letting go, no matter how hard she begs.
At least, that was the plan, until I realize I’m not the only shadow hunting her.
But she’s my prey. My obsession. She belongs to me, and me alone.
Our dark games have only just begun, printsessa.
And this time, there are no rules.

••••••

REVIEW: THE HUNTED QUEEN is the second instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult THE HUNTED dark, erotic, Bratva romance series set in the author’s Bratva Heirs, and Bratva’s Claim worlds. This is the continuing story of Bratva princess/heir Tatiana Fairist aka Harriet Marshall, and assassin Kristoff Zima. THE HUNTED QUEEN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one THE HUNTER KING.

WARNING Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harriett and Kristoff) using present day and memories from the past, THE HUNTED QUEEN advances the series approximately five years. At the end of book one, Tatiana Fairist now known as Harriet Marshall discovered that everything she thought was the truth, was a lie. On the run for five years, staying one step ahead of the man she once loved, Harriet owns a local bar where she has re-established herself as someone else but the past has found our story line heroine, and as the only surviving heir to the Balagula Bratva, Harriet, once again, finds herself the target of power and greed. As Harriet struggles with a future that could end her life, the future of the man that she once loved is now in the hands of someone else. As the truth about the past is slowly revealed, Harriet’s life begins to unravel when her memories return revealing a past she doesn’t remembers, and someone she no longer recognizes.

Meanwhile Kristoff Zima struggles with the perceived betrayal by the woman he loved but continues to search for the one person he lost years before. Secrets and lies exposed reveal a deeper connection to our story line heroine, a woman whose life is out of her control.

The relationship between Kristoff and Harriet begins as an enemies to frenemies to lovers in the wake of betrayal and pretense. Harriet doesn’t remember the events of the past, and it is the past that reveals the truth about a secret organization that destroys the lives of so many, so young. With Harriet and Kristoff’s relationship struggling to survive, a familiar face is hoping to inflict as much pain as humanly possible. The $ex scenes are aggressive and provocative with some scenes of questionable consent.

The secondary and supporting characters are charismatic and intense, playing a significant role in the fall-out, both past and present, of our story line couple.

THE HUNTED QUEEN is a haunting story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and acceptance, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is gritty, raw and climactic; the romance is a second chance at forever; the characters are broken, heart breaking, and deadly.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 9, 2022.

Forget the fairytale.

A broken princess; burned, but bold,
Who knew revenge was best served cold.
There is no Charming. There is no ball,
Just payback on a man who torched it all.
A man cruel, dangerous, and tempting as sin,
Who tells me I’m his; that he’ll have everything.
So smash the slipper. Tread on the glass.
Burn an empire to cinder and ash…

•••••••

REVIEW: BURNED CINDER is the first instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult KINGS AND VILLAINS dark, erotic, age-gap romance duet focusing on forty-two year old businessman Noel Ransom , and twenty-one year old Ella Ashford. The KINGS AND VILLAINS duet is set in the author’s SAVAGE HEIRS world.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ella and Noel) following two time-lines BURNED CINDER follows the acrimonious relationship between forty-two year old businessman Noel Ransom , and twenty-one year old Ella Ashford. Approximately seven years earlier Ella’s life spiralled out of control following the death of her beloved father, the engagement and subsequent death of her mother, and the sentencing to reform school for our story line heroine. Upon her release Ella Ashford made plans to seek revenge against the man she blames for everything that went wrong, the man who was about to take charge of her life. Enter forty-two year old businessman Noel Ransom, the man who now controls every financial aspect of our heroine’s life. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Ella and Noel, and the fall-out as Ella becomes a pawn in a war between former friends, business partners, and anyone who has ever had dealings with the Kings and Villains of London’s Lord’s College.

Ella Ashford has lost everyone she has ever loved in her life and continues to struggle in the face of paying for a debt owed. Noel Ransom is a man who is seeking revenge for sins of the past, revenge that may or may not be directed at our story line heroine. Forcing Ella into a loveless marriage for business not pleasure, Ella’s life continues to spiral out of control, pulled in several directions by secrets and lies, and in the end, Ella’s choices push our heroine into the direct line of fire. Unable to trust the man whom she married, Ella finds herself at a crossroads, a crossroads from which Ella may not be able to return.

The relationship between Ella and Noel is an age-gap relationship fraught with many issues of trust and heart break; an enemies to reluctant lovers in which Ella is contractually forced to marry a man she does not love, and she can never trust. Naïve and easily manipulated, Ella struggles to believe the man with whom she will fall in love, a struggle that continues to pull Ella in a number of directions. Noel’s connections to Ella’s family run dangerous and deep, and it is these connections that are about to push our heroine into a spiral from which she may never return. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense, and not without some issues of questionable consent.

We are introduced to Noel’s step-daughters Naomi and Cora, as well as Noel’s business rivals Oliver Prince and his son Jacob, Ella’s boss Harry, as well as Bastien Pierce and Julianna McCreed (Forbidden Crown/Savage Heirs), and Noel’s second Liam.

BURNED CINDER is a detailed and complex Cinderella-esque story of secrets and lies, betrayal and revenge, heart break and pain, obsession, power and control. The premise is gritty and dark; the romance is controlling and questionable; the characters are broken yet determined, vengeful and cruel. BURNED CINDER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 9, 2022

Be careful what you wish for, little one…

Ella came after a king, and missed.
Now I’ve trapped in her a cage with “I do” and a kiss.
The only woman to have ever brought me to my knees,
And the only girl to ever make me truly bleed.
She thinks I’m the villain of her broken fairytale,
But another hunts and haunts her, hot on her trail.
Ours is a story that started with flame,
Buried by ash and drowned in cold rain.
Run run, Cinderella, there’s no place you could linger,
No amount of soot in the world could hide my little cinder…

•••••••••

REVIEW: EMPIRE OF ASH is the second and final instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult KINGS AND VILLAINS dark, erotic, age-gap romance duet focusing on forty-two year old businessman Noel Ransom , and twenty-one year old Ella Ashford. EMPIRE OF ASH should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book one BURNED CINDER. The KINGS AND VILLAINS duet is set in the author’s SAVAGE HEIRS world.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ella and Noel) using present day and memories from the past, EMPIRE OF ASH picks up immediately after the events of book one BURNED CINDER wherein Ella Ashford’s life continues to spiral out of control. Someone is desperate to destroy our story line couple, and Ella is the perfect tool (or naïve fool) to take down businessman Noel Ransom. As Noel and his second in command Liam begin to ferret out the truth, new information reveals a plot pointing fingers in a familiar direction. Meanwhile, Ella’s past debt, a marker has been called in, and the price is much more than she could ever realize. Refusing to reveal or admit the truth to Noel, Ella is once again at a crossroads wherein her life and the life of the people she loves are out of her control. What ensues is the ongoing and troubling relationship between Ella and Noel, and the fall-out as vengeance and betrayal continue to tear at the root of their explosive relationship.

The secondary and supporting characters include Noel’s step-daughters Naomi and Cora, as well as Noel’s business rivals Oliver Prince and his son Jacob, Ella’s boss Harry, as well as Bastien Pierce and Julianna McCreed (Forbidden Crown/Savage Heirs), Noel’s second in command Liam, and Russian Bratva Kristoff Zima. The requisite evil has many faces.

EMPIRE OF ASH continues in the same vain as BURNED CINDER- secrets and lies, betrayal and revenge, heart break and pain, obsession, power and control, forgiveness, understanding, revelations and love. The premise is twisted and tragic; the romance is aggressive and raw; the characters are animated and edgy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 10, 2022

She can’t remember.
I won’t forget.

Two houses, both alike in indignity.

In violence, bloodshed, and tragedy.

But this rose by any other name would still be mine.

Death couldn’t take her from me.

Her running away won’t either.

I pulled her from her darkness, and wrapped her in mine.

Now I’ll turn the world to ash to find her.

My sweetest torment, and cruelest obsession.

My tale of woe.

A shattered Juliet, for the anti-Romeo.

••••••

REVIEW:DEFIANT QUEEN is the sixth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, new adult SAVAGE HEIRS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series, and the second instalment in the author’s interconnected due focusing on eighteen year old Mafia princess Mara Belsky, and heir to the Reznikov’s throne Konstantin Reznikov. DEFIANT QUEEN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of BROKEN GOD.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: Several weeks earlier Mara Belsky woke from a four year coma, a coma induced by a bullet to the back of her head. Forced to move in with Konstantin Reznikov, Mara’s slow recovery of her memories begin to reveal dark and dangerous truth that sends our heroine on the run.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Konstantin and Mara) DEFIANT QUEEN follows Mafia princess Mara Belsky as she journeys to Russia to uncover the truth about the day she was struck by an assassin’s bullet but the target upon our heroine’s back has yet to be removed, and Mara finds herself in constant danger from an unknown source, and the man that she loves. Konstantin Reznikov is keeping secrets from our story line heroine, secrets he knows could destroy the limited trust between Mara and himself but the past refuses to die, and our couple continue to be the focus of a series of reminders that everything they knew could very well be a lie. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Konstantin and Mara, and the fall-out as an assassin returns to finish the job.

Konstantin Reznikov’s backstory is heart breaking and dark; a backstory that has groomed a man to be cold and unforgiving, dangerous and deadly. The only light in Konstantin’s young life was destroyed by the people sworn to protect, and our hero refuses to watch the woman he loves succumbed to the same end.

The relationship between Mara and Konstantin is tempestuous and unforgiving. Mara believes Konstantin is the ultimate betrayer, and Konstantin struggles to reveal the truth. A slow rebuilding of trust and acceptance forces Konstantin to expose the darkness he has endured all of his life. The $ex scenes are aggressive, erotic and intense.

Once again, Mara’s twin sister Lizbet and her boyfriend Lucas (Brutal King) are front and center in our heroine’s life, as well as her former bodyguard Grigori, and Konstantin’s best friend and right hand man Vadim and his father Gavan. The requisite evil has many faces.

DEFIANT QUEEN is a story of betrayal and revenge; obsession and delusion; trust and understanding; friendship and family, love and acceptance with a few twists and turns to add shock and surprise. The premise is dark, gritty and haunting; the romance is spicy and provocative; the characters are broken, flawed, determined and strong.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 24, 2022

He’s my deepest damnation. And my darkest desire.

Konstantin Reznikov’s war buried me in darkness.

Four years later, he’s the one dragging me screaming from my coma.

The viciously domineering, brutal, terrifyingly gorgeous tyrant who haunts the shattered fragments of my memories. The man with dark gray eyes as cold as his dark gray soul.

I remember almost nothing from my past. But he does. Now, he owns my present, and my future.

Because Konstantin didn’t wake me up for free. He brought me out of my darkness to engulf me in his.

To own me. To trap me in a maze of twisted games and jagged thorns.

Now I’m bound to the broken god of wrath and ruin who might hold the key to my past.

Or maybe, to my unraveling.

Broken God is book 1 in a duet and not a standalone book. The completed duet is a standalone story within the Savage Heirs series, though. You do not need to have read the previous books in this series to read this duet.

This extra dark Bratva academy romance is guaranteed to leave your kindle steaming. Step into the viper’s nest of Oxford Hills Academy and meet the Savage Heirs of Bratva kings and oligarchs. )Absolutely no cheating,

•••••••

REVIEW:BROKEN GOD is the fifth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, new adult SAVAGE HEIRS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series, and the first instalment in the author’s interconnected duet. This is eighteen year old Mafia princess Mara Belsky, and heir to the Reznikov’s throne Konstantin Reznikov’s story line. BROKEN GOD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for back story I recommend reading BRUTAL KING where Mara’s story begins.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Konstantin and Mara)and emails from the past, BROKEN GOD focuses on the weeks after eighteen year old Mara Belsky wakes from a four year coma, a coma induced by a bullet to the back of her head. Mara has no recollection of what happened four years earlier, and in the ensuing time, only bits and pieces from throughout her hospital stay come to the forefront and quickly disappear but Mara’s return to ‘civilization’ begins with her introduction to the Oxford Hills Academy, a private, preparatory school for the rich and infamous, an introduction that includes the dark and dangerous Konstantin Reznikov. Konstantin Reznikov has a precarious and murderous reputation, a reputation earned by his need for control and his ability to kill without remorse, but Konstantin has set his sights on our story line heroine, blackmailing and threatening a young woman who is barely able to control her own life; a girl who is unable to remember what happened or why. What ensues is the acrimonious but building relationship between Konstantin and Mara, and the fall-out as hidden secrets reveal a much darker and more dangerous betrayal than Mara could have ever imagined.

The relationship between Mara and Konstantin is that of jailer and prisoner. Konstantin wants to control every aspect of Mara’s life but in doing so slowly succumbs to his attraction to our story line heroine. Mara knows that to defy Konstantin would threaten the lives and families of the people she loves, people who struggle to understand the control Konstantin has over our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense with some behavior and actions of questionable consent.

Most of the previous story line couples have cameo roles. We are reintroduced to Mara’s twin sister Lizbet and her boyfriend Lucas (Brutal King); the requisite mean girls, as well as Mara’s former bodyguard Grigori.

BROKEN GOD is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and retribution, secrets and lies. The premise is dark, gritty, raw and dramatic; the characters are broken, embattled, powerful and charismatic; the romance is a power-struggle in which Mara is often threatened when she disobeys or talks back-Konstantin is broken, a bully, a powerful Mafia ‘god’ who is determined to break our story line heroine. BROKEN GOD ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 6, 2021

I did a bad thing. I kissed my professor, and I liked it.
A lot.

Bastian Pierce is twice my age. Sinfully gorgeous. Notoriously wild.

He’s temptation wrapped in leather, tattoos, and Savile Row linen. And he knows it.

The problem is, so do I.

Firsthand.

In my defense, it was before I knew he was my professor.

Before I knew the devil’s deal he’d made with my family.

Consider this my confession.

Signed with a scandal.

Sealed with the forbidden.

Delivered with a fall.

And it’s a long way down…

•••••••

REVIEW:FORBIDDEN CROWN is the fourth instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult SAVAGE HEIRS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is thirty two year old author/college professor Bastian Pierce, and eighteen year old college student Julianna Mc Creed’s story line. FORBIDDEN CROWN 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 storyline premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bastian and Julianna) following several intersecting paths, FORBIDDEN CROWN focuses on the forbidden/age-gap romance between thirty two year old author/college professor Bastian Pierce, and eighteen year old college student Julianna McCreed. Bastian Pierce is hiding from a scandal not of his making but a scandal none-the-less. Teaching English Literature at Oxford Hills Academy, to the spawn of the rich and elite pushes all of Bastian’s buttons but an almost one-night stand finds our hero facing the same woman that has starred in his fantasies, eighteen year old college student Julianna McCreed, a young woman who is off-limits in more ways than one. A relationship with Julianna would tank his career renewing and replicating the troubles that continue to dog. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bastian and Julianna, and the fall-out as accusations go public, and Bastian finds himself facing his troubles, alone.

Julianna McCreed has not had the easiest life having lived in the shadow of her scandalized parents. As her mother’s ‘puppet’ Julianna is forced to walk the walk, and talk the talk but a marriage of convenience is the last thing Julianna is willing to suffer let alone the continuing threats from a stalker who is forcing our heroine to do something she does not want. Meeting Bastian Pierce outside of the school, meant getting to know the man that stirred something within but both Bastian and Julianna know that if caught, it will ruin more than Bastian’s career in the face of moral and ethical dilemmas.

Then relationship between Julianna and Bastian is one of immediate attraction, one that begins before our couple are aware of their mutual connections. Bastian fears reprisal and retaliation if his relationship with Julianna is discovered and revealed, while Julianna struggles with her attraction to a man that may be committed to someone else. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including the appearance of previous story line couples as well as the new head of the Reznikov Bratva Konstantin Reznikov, Sergei Melnyk; and Julianna’s parents Rebecca and Braddock McCreed.

FORBIDDEN CROWN is a story of forbidden love; a story of family and relationships, power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and misunderstanding. The fast paced premise is detailed and sensitive; the romance is taboo, edgy and provocative- the sexual attraction is palpable and hot; the characters are impulsive, spirited and impassioned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 9, 2021

Russell James was always untouchable.Too dangerously beautiful. Too old for me. Too much my brother’s best friend.But he was mine once—just for one night.Then, he was gone.

Now, four years later, he’s kidnapping me off the street in a case of mistaken identity.My cousin is married to the most notorious Bratva kingpin in Chicago.Russell thinks I’m her.Now, we’re on the run—from the Bratva, from the law, and from whoever wants my cousin—the real Mrs. Komarov—dead.

But Russell doesn’t just want to save me.He wants to consume me.He wants to finish what we started four years ago.

And God help me, I might just let him…

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: CAPTURING CHRISTMAS by Jagger Cole is a contemporary, adult, stand alone MAFIA romance novella set in the author’s BRATVA’S CLAIM world, and part of the multi-authored FLIRTY DIRTY CHRISTMAS series. This is Noelle Morgan, and Russell James’ story line. CAPTURING CHRISTMAS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty . Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary. Noelle is Fiona Morgan -Komarov’s (PAYING THE BRATVA’S DEBT 1) cousin.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Noelle and Russell) CAPTURING CHRISTMAS focuses on the abduction of Noelle Morgan, a mistaken identity kidnapping where the intended victim was Fiona Morgan-Komarov, Noelle’s cousin, and wife to the international head of the Kashenko Bratva. Russell James has been hired to do a job but never expected to face the woman he never stopped loving, the woman on whom he walked out four years earlier. On the run with the woman he loved, Russell knows he screwed up both todays and years before. What ensues is the quick, rebuilding relationship between Russell and Noelle, and the potential fall-out as Viktor Komarov comes searching for his wife’s cousin.

CAPTURING CHRISTMAS is a quick read, a fast paced second chance novella that covers but a few hours between abduction and rescue, and a proclamation of forever. The premise engaging and captivating-not as dark as some of the author’s previous work; the $ex scenes are intimate and intense; the characters are familiar and energetic. Several characters cross over by way of mention from the author’s SAVAGE HEIRS and BRATVA’S CLAIM series.

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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 6, 2021

This is not a fairytale.

There’s no glass slipper, only shards. Prince Charming is the villain, and happily ever afters are a myth.

Except now, I need to construct one.

Me, the fake princess, with a make-believe happily never after, to the anti-Prince Charming himself.

Coldly beautiful, brutally ruthless, and heir to a criminal empire. Misha Tsavakov hates me, but he’ll be my fabricated prince, for a price:

All of me.

I belong to him now. No limits. No mercy. And no kiss before midnight to end this curse. No kissing at all, actually.

The deeper we get, the darker and more twisted this maze of thorns becomes. There’s no way out. But the harder I fight, the more it might be that I don’t want a way out.

Real or not, there’s one thing about fairytales that no one ever warns you about:

When you put on glass slippers, you’d better tread carefully.

Or you’ll bleed.

REVIEW: DARK PRINCE is the second instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, new adult BRATVA ACADEMY erotic, Bratva, romance series-a spin off from the author’s BRATVA’S CLAIM series. This is nineteen year old, heir to one of Russia’s biggest criminal empires Misha Tsavakov, and princess Charlotte Bergendem of Luxlordia, a small Bavarian country. DARK PRINCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, 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 (Charlotte and Misha) DARK PRINCE follows the marriage of convenience between nineteen year old, heir to one of Russia’s biggest criminal empires Misha Tsavakov, and princess Charlotte Bergendem of Luxlordia. Two years earlier, following an incident aboard a cruise liner, Charlotte Lawrence’s mother Jessica married King Heinrich Bergendem of Luxlordia, making Charlotte a princess by extension. Life at Oxford Hills Academy is anything but royal when our heroine is taunted and teased as a wanna-be princess but life back home finds Charlotte about to be forced into an arranged marriage with Prince Frederick of Norway, in an effort to save the Luxlordian government from collapse. Enter Bratva heir Misha Tsavakov, one-third of the dark and dangerous ‘savage Bratva heirs’ who rule and control Oxford Hills Academy. Desperate to marry anyone other than the crown prince of Norway, Charlotte drunkenly proposes to Misha Tsavakov, whose hatred for Charlotte cannot be explained, but whose own life back home, is increasingly volatile and dark. What ensues is the acrimonious relationship between Charlotte and Misha, and the potential fall-out as years of secrets and lies reveal a twisted and deadly past that is about to destroy the man with whom Charlotte will fall in love.

Misha Tsavakov knows first hand, the cruel and harsh reality of the criminal underworld, having lived a life of savagery at the hands of his father but Misha’s less than worldly antics and attitude have pushes his father one too many times, and his final f-you is marrying our story line heroine. Believing he had one-upped his father, Misha will quickly discover that his father has plans for the princess back home.

The relationship between Misha and Charlotte is a marriage of convenience; a tempestuous and caustic affair wherein Charlotte refuses to marry someone not of her choosing but in choosing Misha places herself in the hands of a dark, cruel and dominant young heir. Charlotte is an innocent but quickly finds herself falling for a man whose own life is spiralling out of control.

We are reintroduced to Bratva Prince/heir Ilya Volkov and Tenley Chambers (Savage Heir 1), and Lukas Komarov: King Heinrich Bergendem and Queen Jessica; Misha’s father Oligarch Boris Tsavakov, and his second in command Kristoff.

DARK PRINCE is a story of cruelty and abuse; secrets and lies; power and control; freedom and love. The premise is heart breaking and twisted; the romance is dramatic and dark; the characters are charismatic, broken but healing.
