Genres: Romance, Contemporary, Mafia

Once upon a time, a lion saved a girl. His little cinnamon girl.

That lion grew up into a prince. Dark, bitter, and so beautiful that it hurt to look at him.

But underneath it all, the girl saw the man. I was the man. I saw his hunger for love and affection, and I had plenty to give. 

I fell in love, even though he told me not to. I gave him everything, because that was who I was.

I was determined to show him the light in this world, and his smiles were what I lived for. He was my art, my melody, my muse. We were beautiful together. 

So I gave and gave, all to my bitter prince. Until I had nothing left to give. 

Until he left me empty. 

No one warned me love would push me into darkness so cold and tear me apart.

To survive, I’d have to kill the cinnamon girl and become someone else.

Someone I didn’t recognize.

My Review:

As the first book in the Stolen Empire Trilogy, Winners delivers a slow-burn mafia romance in Bitter Prince. Filled with secrecy and twists to keep you reading until the very end!

At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Reina Romero, whose live completely changed when she turned six years old. It took a trip to Italy and an incident to meet her savior, a lion who would one day turn into a prince. But her live is never the same after her mom passes away, Reina knows that no matter how much her dad wants to keep her away from his business, their world is dangerous. Yet, it seems like Amon Leone is set to protect her at all costs. There is an undeniable connection that keeps pulling them together and her crush for him grows just as much. Soon she finds out that Amon’s world is just as dangerous and there are forces wanting to keep them apart.

Amon Leone never expected to feel so strongly for Reina Romero, she was just six years old when he saved her from his father’s wrath. But he is used to saving those around him from the man that he’s grown to loathe. Yet, no matter how much he wants to take his mom away from their world, Amon can’t. Not when his birthright is about to be taken away from him. Adding Reina to the mix brings out a new level of protectiveness for him. She is all he wants and Amon is ready to give everything up for her until a twist of events truly turns his world upside down.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bitter Prince, we really get to know the characters really well in this first book. Winners really lays out their background stories and we get a glimpse of what’s to come in the next book in the trilogy. In the story we get to see the characters grow so is their love for each other. Amon is truly overprotective towards Reina, he knows the dangers of their world and he knows that anyone can use her against him. All the secondary characters, including their siblings really made the story that much more enjoyable to read. The unexpected twist at the end worked really well in the story and I cannot wait to read what happens next. I would highly recommend checking out Bitter Prince! :)
