The knife clued me in first.
The blood second.
And third, it was the blessing of the most famous mafia bosses in the known world as they sat around the dinner table and told me that I had no choice but to join.

I have yet to read the Eagle Elite series by RVD, and this series a new stand alone spin off of that series. I did find myself a little bit confused though, even though its been stressed that you can read it without having read the other. I think my issue there, was because this is a novella, and at the start there’s quite the introduction of characters, and because there are so many, its a little overwhelming to wrap your head around.
Once the main story starts, it’s really intense and I really liked it. I still sometimes found it a little hard to keep up with who was who, but for the most part it was fine. I think that was also due to the fact this is a novella, so not as long for both reading time and wrapping your mind around who’s who.
I am VERY interested in the first book in this series, particularly with how this one ended. I haven’t read mafia books before, but I think this is easily going to become a series I’ll be hanging for with each new release. In the meantime, I’m waiting for my PB copy of Elite to turn up, so I can start that series too.
I read Royal Bully in one sitting! I couldn’t put it down once I started. Great characters. Crazy awesome MAFIA family and world. And all the steam. Asher and Claire are fire from the very first page, and they only get better by the end. Definitely recommend!
I have been dying to get my hands on this book because I love anything Mafia that Rachel Van Dyken writes and she didn’t disappoint my only criticism is that I wanted more words!
If you love RVD’s Eagle Elite series you will love Royal Bully. It’s intense, passionate, hilarious and addicting. You don’t need to have read EE to read this new serious though as everything is explained in this book.
I loved seeing all of the characters from EE being parents. This book gave me life and I am chomping at the bit for the next in the series.
Well boy oh boy, this book may have been a short prequel to introduce us to RVD’s new Mafia Royals series but it packed one hell of a punch. Talk about a page turner. This book was fast paced, dramatic and surprisingly emotional. I was truly gutted it came to and end. I now sit back and eagerly await the release of Ruthless Princess.
