5★ Brilliant start of the series
Alexius is the oldest out of four brothers and an heir to the Dark Sovereign Empire. Brutal, ruthless and relentless. In order to fully get his birthright, he’s forced by his dying father to get married. To have a wife by his side, one he never wanted, needed or cared to have, but one that will be a constant reminder to him of what is apparently necessary, as long as his father is alive. His choice fell on Leandra, a girl with a rough past, no family, no friends or home. A girl that no one will notice when she disappears. The two of them couldn’t be more different, starting from their background, upbringing, to the way of life. And yet, what in the beginning looked like simply deal with no interaction between them, becomes sth different, unexpected, intense. Their relationship went from icy cold to burning heat, rising levels of steam and smut. Together they are unpredictable, kinky, sexy and hot af, crossing grey lines and their own boundaries. Brothers and their way of living, sexual freedom and sharing habit only adding up the spice to already delicious mix. And when emotions and feeling, caring and need to protect and cherish add to it, things get complicated. All that with mafia, fighting for power and murders in the background.Alexius is the first book in the Dark Sovereign Series. It’s a duet, Alexius and Leandra’s story will continue in His Wife (release date: 26th July 2022), which I need like now to get on with. It’s dark mafia romance, rough and gritty, suspenseful and angst read, flawlessly written with intriguing plot, story like no other and complex characters - all those kept me captivated from the start to finish. It’s a highly recommended book and must read for any mafia fan who likes a bit more spice and going out of their comfort zone.

Wow!
What a start to this Trilogy!!!!!Speechless as to how seriously good this was - a dark romance that is full of raw passion, had little twists and turns that you don’t see coming, the world of Myth will leave you breathless, and ends with a cliffhanger that will see you downloading book 2 straight away!!! Brilliant!

I absolutely loved this story about Leandra and Alexius. She is just a small town girl, working a small town job. He is from an infamous Mafia family in need of a wife. He offers he a deal she cannot refuse; marry him until his sick father draws his last breath then she will become a wealthy divorcee, with the protection of the Family for life. How can she refuse? 🔥read.

A good steamy read
After surviving an abusive childhood with little to no love, after burying he mother Leandra has a lifetime in front of her surviving on her own.Alexius is the heir to a mafia line which is steeped in tradition and violence. Something that Alexius is more than willing and capable to fulfill. His dying father passes an ultimatum which includes finding a bride.Alexius offers Leandra an oppurtunity to become financially stable but more important his wife.Very steamy in parts and the blossoming relationship between Alexius and Leandra is slow to unravel.The only disappointing part of this story is that this ends on a cliffhanger which i dislike.Other than this it was a good steamy read

Dark, sexy, powerful… GOOD!
While there are very graphic and detail scenes in the story, it is not without justification. There is a very clear, detailed storyline taking place in the mist of the debauchery. The relationship between the main character, and Leandrea is quite interesting as it unfolds. However, please note if you’re looking for, a white picket romance that is not this book. But there is a romance that’s taking place and it gives you another point of view on the dynamics of individual relationships. It also speaks about the bonding of brothers and family.

Hot, dark.
Loved it. Finally a great, hot, dark exciting book. Cliff hanger but I need to know. Didn't like Alexius at beginning. Heroine is strong woman. Loved Massimo and Mirabella.

Not impressed
There should have also been a note that it has incest. Could have been a better read.

An angst ridden hot ride!
I loved everything about this story! From the opening pages - brace yourselves - to the why the relationship between the hotter than hot Hero and the strong minded and determined heroine.There is plenty of angst, heaps of steam and a very real connection here. Just delicious!Oh and a cliffhanger and I can't wait!
