Aurora Bianchi will stop at nothing to make herself a widow.

Max De Luca will rue the day he married her.

Having taken her rightful place as don, Aurora is ushering in a new era in the Bianchi family. Clearing the organisation of traitors, declaring war on those who betrayed her, and destroying anyone who stands in her way.

The Bianchi Bastards risked everything to save Aurora and stand at her side.

They may be prepared to burn the world down for her, but she will annihilate anything that threatens them. Together, they will avenge the fallen, and Max De Luca will die for his sins.

Aurora Bianchi was never his princess. She's their queen.

This is a polyamorous (MMFMM) mafia romance where the FMC will never be asked to choose between her leading men.

Brutal Queen is the conclusion to Aurora, Enzo, Sinclair, Nico, and Benedict's duet and will bring you the HEA you've been waiting for since Broken Princess. The Broken & Brutal duet is an introduction to the Bianchiverse, which will continue with interconnected standalones. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

I loved that Aurora came into her own as the badass Bianchi Don. She was ruthless in her endeavour to catch up to her psychopathic husband Max.

Whilst I did really enjoy this book, I think it wasn't as good as the first. In Broken Princess there seemed to be a lot more action throughout the whole book, whereas I found the first quarter of Brutal Queen to be a lot slower.

Maybe it's because I've never experienced any sort of BDSM, but the situation between Aurora and Enzo didn't really align with my impression of him. Maybe her being more dominant was the author's way of portraying how tough she was, but it didn't really gel for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed the darker side of Aurora and how supportive of her all 4 men were.

I would definitely re-read these books at some point in the future.

A great ending to this duology

I enjoyed this duet and the way it explored the dynamics of their relationships and how it grew. with points of view from each member of the group, the decent story, spice and a resilient female lead paired with a really well done performance from both narrators, it was well worth the credits. my only nit pic is that Max's demise wasn't nearly as long, painful or drawn out as I would have made it!
