Alfie Kane may have finally met his match. Both him and Viviana Amantea are vying for the same territory in London’s underground. Only problem is Alfie is King here and Viviana thinks she can just waltz into his kingdom and take reign. He will have to show this Princess who the real King is.
Bloody brilliance!! That is what this book is and I inhaled it quickly. Cole penned the perfect story of intrigue coupled together with a wickedly slow burn romance, making it a fabulously written book. It was done flawlessly and had given me the ache only a story like this can bring. His words had me like an addict waiting for every delicious twist and tortured turn. Every bit of 5 Stars!! Now where is the next one??

This was filled with excitement in the underground of London. The ultimate baddy, Alfie Kane, king of the underworld, is going toe to toe with the princess, Viviana Amantea, who is a baddy in her own right. They keep attacking each other’s organizations, all while secretly wanting to “attack each other”, if you catch my drift 😉. While things get hot & spicy between them, they have to fend off an outside attack against both of them. Will they use their smokin’ hot chemistry to work together against a shared enemy? You have to read to find out

We get I look into Viviana‘s world in London, she is the king of Bullogia’s sister. She is been having a turf war with Alfie the king of London’s underworld. But when they get in a room together the chemistry is electric!! This is what this author is known for- short and steamy stories with alpha male characters and a strong and sassy heroines. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!!

Good story overall, but I am simply not a fan of strong female characters in my insta-love stories. I want a weak female who needs her alpha man!
Did make it a bit interesting though.

Outlaw is the second book in Jagger Cole’s Power series. In this book, readers meet Viviana Amantea and Alfie Kane. Viviana or Viv is the sister of Bullogia’s king, Enzo Amantea. With the overthrow of the Amantea monarchy she escaped to Italy and later moved to London. In London, she started forming her own underground family putting her in competition with underworld kingpin, Alfie Kane. Tension, emotional and sexual, ignites between these two. But a faction of the Russian Bratva seeking to regain lost territory launches war on them. Will they join forces to beat the Russians? What happens regarding their sexual tensions? Read the book to get a better view of their journey.
Mr. Cole penned a story with emotional complexity. He masterfully creates intriguing and multi-dimensional characters. The professional tension between these two crime leaders adds to the suspense of this plot. This story is well-written with strong dialog and a plethora of descriptive scenes. Added all together, these literary devices lend credibility to his plot. Nice job, Mr. Cole!

Meh. I was expecting a little more backbone from the heroine. She came off strong at first then just started blushing every 2 seconds when it came to the hero. Eyeroll.
Story fell a little flat but the plot had potential. It just didn’t carry any spark for me.
And Jesus lord, repetitive words is an issue with this author. Expansion of vocabulary or expression in general hasn’t seemed to improve in the last year I’ve been reading from this writer.
The book is 94 pages. Most Repetitive word count:
Blush - 14
Growl - 82 (that seems to be the only expression this hero is capable of)
Snarl - 26
Grin - 47
Just, BLAH. So disappointed.

Loved this
I was given this copy to from author for an honest review.
I really liked this plot in the book and the strong characters that came with it. However I didn’t care for how they talked to each other even though when they were thinking to themselves they told u how much they wanted the other person. They wouldn’t give in to each other and talked less like people who wanted to be loved by each other and more like rivals until they were both in danger and joined forces. But besides that this book was hot as hell and had a great ending!! I recommend this to everyone. Others might love the dynamic struggle and find that’s it’s a perfect read. I’m more into books that are insta love and they are immediately a pair and a force to be reckoned with. Thank you for the read!!

Really good
Very well written for a short story. Characters were very interesting and the story was captivating which is hard to do in such a small amount of time. It not only has you invested in the two main characters but invested in some of the others as well. Can’t wait to read Isla’s story

I enjoyed this book way more than the first one! I think it’s because they had some form of a history and that they actually had chemistry between the 2 leads? Also the action scenes flowed much better in this book compared to the first one. All in all it felt like a complete read and it was a good quick story.

Wow.Lady Boss
Alive is the known boss in London and controls everything. Viviana also has build her own group and wants London be her Territory as well. Love the story between the two pushing back as ho is stronger. Great quick reading and the attraction between them. Also they join forces when the Russian want to take over.

Alfie and Viviana's story.
Alfie is the King of The London Underworld and prides himself on taking take of any threats to his business one way or another. Viviana is a thorn in his side, she is trying to carve herself a slice of his pie but he can't seem to take care of her the way he normally would when it comes to a rival. This is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Viviana, King Enzo's sister (Tyrant#1), is having a turf war with the king of London's underworld Alfie and he's not having it. He's fought hard for his throne.
When the two meet there's a hot chemistry. With a third party trying to take them both down they cling even closer to one another. A love so strong that it will bring down any enemy to their knees.

This is another early example of a wonderful plot and not enough time to flesh it out. It's the same exciting Cole style I love but without the space to really elevate the Story. Really wish this series would be rewritten and expanded it would be sooo good.
As it is right now everything matters ves too quickly and this leaves no time for romance or love of any kind.

No entiendo cómo se le ocurren estas ideas a Jagger Cole, en el primer libro, vemos qué Enzo es el rey de un país y su hermana Viviana está exiliada en UK, de dón de saca qué ella se vuelve la lider de un grupo mafioso, el cuál tiene encuentros con Alfie, el lider rival? no entiendo, pero menos mal fue corto y lo pude leer rápido, porqué ni el spicy pudo con el desarrollo de esta historia

One of the best yet!
I absolutely loved Alfie and Viviana’s story! The buildup and plot line were amazing and I loved their banter! This was by far one of the best books of Jagger Cole’s that I have read to date!

Love a strong female character
Viv was great. A princess who becomes a criminal queen and Alfie is the king who wants her. Fun book. I'm sorry that Viv gave in so easily as she started out as a smarter leader but it's still a good book.

Match Made in the Streets
Viviana and Alfie are at war for the streets of London but unfortunately they both also find the other unreasonably attractive. When a third party takes on both of them they must unite to survive in this gritty tale.

Enjoyable, quick and easy read. I liked Viviana as a character a lot but Alfie was just fine. Plot was very simplistic and relationship progressed very quickly. I’d have preferred this story to be a bit longer.

Yummy yummy!
I'm not a big fan of Mafia love stories but I am a big fan of Jagger Cole so I'm going to read anything he writes and this was excellent!

Very entertaining
I had a great time reading this book. Lots of drama and snark. Also some pretty hot scenes. The characters are over the top and very appealing.

HEA
I feel like there are details missing. From Viviana and from Alfie. Their backgrounds were too glossed over. I need more info about Alfie.
