Nothing will compare to Xander and Kimberly.
I found a lot of myself in Kimberly and she will always be one of my favorite FMC.
I am excited to continue with the world!

Rina Kent did a deep-dive into these characters and made me really love them.
The storyline was interesting while being heartbreaking. It was also lighter in the spice department in the sense of frequency.
Would definitely recommend, BUT CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!

Yall donāt know how impatiently Iāve waited for this book. Ever since deviant king, Xander and Kimberly stood out, even more than Elsa and Aiden tbh. I really wanted to know about this ongoing tension between them and why Kimberly kept asking for forgiveness. Now that I know the reason, Iām just thinking that my poor girl suffered for no reason. Although I know the real reason he resented her all these years, it doesnāt make up for everything he did and how it hurt Kim. Also the fact that she was thinking that it was because of a stupid little prank.š
This is the first book from the Royal Elite series where I cried so much. Kimberly deserved the world and reading that part about her suicide hurt so much. I was just cursing Xander and her mother under my breath for pushing her till that point. He literally said āwhy donāt you disappearāšš that hurt me and Its in a book, imagine hearing those words from your once best friend who you loved and relied on more than anyone.
Every time Xander would say stuff like āknow your f*cking placeā and āyou disgust meā, I lost it. Not to mention, that he repeated it so many times. That made me hate him to the point that I was rooting for Kimberly to move on and I was like Xander doesnāt deserve her. After they finally got together, he was like āfinally I can have you after so many years of yearningā, I was just thinking to myself, - okayā¦ and? Youāre not suddenly a saint. What did you do apart from adding reasons for Kim to commit suicide? Then he drops a bomb which made me melt right there, right then:
āEven when you were with others?ā
āWhat others?ā He brushes his lips against mine. āYouāre my first, Green.ā
He was saving himself for her even though he pretty much knew that they can never be together šš it doesnāt make up for all the trauma he caused Kim over the years but at least we know that he was being genuine about only wanting Kimberly.
Okay lastly, coming to Ronan and Kimberly. I loved them both together and separately. Although I havenāt finished the series yet, I know for a fact that my fave male character will be Ronan and Female will most likely be Kimberly. Theyāre both sunshineās and need to be protected at all costs.
Iām so excited for Ronans book, Iāve eaten up every chapter heās been in so far. So having a whole book of him is just a blessingš©š¤
