Cruel King: A Dark New Adult Romance (Royal Elite)

Product Information

Few queens’ stories are sadder than that of “Juana la Loca,” whose family and rivals colluded to keep her confined in asylums. Born fourth in line to the throne of her parents Ferdinand and Isabella, Joanna was married off to Philip “the Handsome” of Burgundy at age 16. When a series of deaths made her heir apparent to Isabella’s throne, her husband kept her confined after her mother’s death in an attempt to press his claim (over Ferdinand’s) for the Castilian throne. W-What are you doing?” He leans forward so his mouth hovers inches away from mine and growls. “I will destroy you.” The first book of that duet was good. This book reminded me of that duet when there was a mention of Elsa LOSING her memories (could memories be a euphemism for brain cells? Hmm, I wonder.) after being in an accident. I remember something similar happened to the h in All The Lies. I don’t know what’s the author’s fixation with making her heroines suffer from amnesia (when they already suffer from STUPIDITY) suffering two terminal diseases must be hard. Elsa might not have my respect but she has my (reluctant) sympathy. family intrigue, rich people doing bad things but they gotta hide their asses, private school full of rich snobs, a little bit of petty teen drama, push and pull from MCs, H chasing the h going all cavemen most of the time, enemies to lovers, bully romance, side characters' story being introduced... if y'all like these then i recommend reading this book 100%

I figured I wouldn't enjoy this as I've read a lot of high school bully romances in the past. Plus, I'm like basically middle-aged now, folks. And, you know... THE UNITED KINGDOM: Does not claim this book. The Queen would finally drop dead if she read this (long live her majesty). Even all the "buggers", "arseholes" and "shagging" did not make the writing sound even remotely British.Linde always writes the best angsty romances, and this did have some angst but it was also fun, romantic, and steamy. I highly recommend! Have you ever started a book and just knew it was going to be epic? That’s how I felt with Cruel King. I was obsessed with Gavin and Whitley from the start and I knew this would be a five star favorite for me pretty early on. I had fun revisiting this world and catching up with the characters from the previous books in this series. Characters from the author's Wright series also made a cameo appearance.

Astrid es hija de un Lord y todo lo que quiere hacer es pasar desapercibida pero logra captar la atención del chico más popular y del que su padre le dijo que se mantuviera alejada. I hate in some books how when the reader knows what the secrets are and the people who have the secrets don’t tell them to each other, so everything is about huge misunderstandings or just the fact that the main character(s) don’t really know the motivation behind certain things the other one does. This book doesn’t do that. The reader is as in the dark about the secrets as the character(s) who don’t know. Elsa/Ellie/Elsie/Frozen(whatever you wanna call her) is the only reason why I gave this book 2 stars rather than 1.(I gave it one star in the end coz idc) Elsa Quinn, comes to Royal Elite, in hopes of doing well and getting into Cambridge which is her dream college but all goes to hell when Aiden King publicly declares war against her by saying "I will destroy you"There is something innately magical about a good old-fashioned fairy tale. From Snow White to Hansel and Gretel, the stories they tell are ingrained in our lives, so it’s hard not to feel a little nostalgic when booting up The Cruel King and the Great Hero for the first time. I couldn't get the words out that I needed to say to make this real. Because, without them, was this all as real as we claimed it was?" Xander and Kim’s story sounds interesting. I’m noticing how I look forward to couples that aren’t even the MCs in these books and that says a lot 💀 Her first day of school was living hell the moment when she met Aiden King, who promised her that he will destroy her.

The Dragon King is overprotective, but he knows that one day Yuu will achieve her dream, and he supports her to the best of his ability. He grants Yuu his blessing as she ventures out to explore the surrounding areas – if he secretly tags along to help her out, well, what Yuu doesn’t know won’t hurt her. I loved catching up with the previous couples and seeing how their lives have changed, thanks to love, children, and good communications. It gives us hope, as well as providing the reassurance and motivation that they both need. Amused me greatly that the Mayor still manages a cameo in this story. Delicious read from start to finish. This was such an awesome bully romance. If you like this genre at all, then this is the book for you. The Hero is a huge jerk and a big bully and completely obsessed with the heroine Elsa Quinn. First he bullies her by turning the whole school against her on her first day, then later he bullies her into almost everything she does. She sees emptiness in his eyes, she knows he has something dark inside him.Whitley was such a boss and I loved how unapologetically herself she was. Gavin was such a fun character and my favorite hero of this series, after Camden Percy of course. My favorite part of this book was how much Gavin loved Whit for who she was. He never tried to tame her or change her, he just loved her for her. The push and pull between them is really amazing, and some situations created by Levi may be on the dubious consent side, but it's a dark novel after all.

He’s no fairy tale king. Levi Here, little princess. I’m your king. You have three rules. Bow. Break. Bend the knee. Fight me all you want, but soon enough, you’ll be chanting long live the king. Astrid One day I’m Royal Elite School’s small fly, the next I’m hunted and left to die. He doesn’t only shred my life to parts, but he’s also coming after my heart. He thinks he broke me, but the new princess will bring the king to his knees. Aside from the previously published book, this version contains a never-published-before bonus scene. Cruel King is a complete standalone in Royal Elite world. No book should be read prior to this. Disclaimer: This is a high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some readers might find offensive. If you’ve been looking for a hero, then you won’t find it in Royal Elite. If you, however, have been itching for anti-heroes and villains, then welcome to their royal court. Cruel King (Royal Elite, #0) by Rina Kent – eBook Details Levi, él el fuego combinado con oscuridad. También me gustó, era bastante loquillo y posesivo, pero vamos, esto es un dark romance, ya sabía lo que me iba a encontrar y me sorprendió para bien. Lo que lo he disfrutado, y el misterio que traía detrás me mantuvo expectante, además de conocer esas capas que no le deja ver a nadie, solamente a su amada.Another thing I like was that this was an erotic romance and boy was it spicy. I give it 5 peppers for hotness 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶! One thing I sometimes hate about high school romance is that they are too clean and a great number of high school students can be a bit dirty. If they were we wouldn’t have TV shows like Teen Mom or Young and Pregnant. No tenía tantas expectativas con esta historia y me gustó muchísimo! Tenía rato que no podía parar de leer y este libro me ayudó muchísimo en ese bloqueo en el que estaba. There are many obstacles in the way of this romance, in addition to the hit and run. Both Levi and Astrid have issues at home and at school. The story is just so good, I couldn’t stop reading till I finished. It is truly one of the best bully romance books I have read. I really liked the characters and many of the supporting characters. They were well developed and had great personalities. There were a few darker supporting characters as well that were portrayed perfectly. Certainly there was more than one villain in this book! Though It is not always easy to determine who is really a villain. With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs. I loved Elsa so much, she WASN'T a doormat at all and stood her own. Oh, and her friendship with Kim... *I'm not swooning over the friendship more than the relationship*
