That is just a bit ridiculous and the voice actors are terrible. It makes listening to this book so difficult. I'm going to stop myself before it just puts me in a reading slump.
It started off great and addicting but then it got draggy, repetitive and boring. There's almost no plot here, no substance, the relationships were fun at first but then it was the same thing over and over again.
Ruthless Princess is a book that I have been wanting to pick up for a year now. Now I will admit that this author isn't one that truly appealed to me, I am not exactly sure why but it wasn't until this series became released that I was more and more curious about these books here. I have to say that I was completely wrong in waiting so long in reading this author, because Ruthless Princess, is a book I didn't know that I needed. It was fantastic and wild and crazy in all the fun ways. I had a blast in seeing this book grow in its intensity and seeing the rich relationships that are developed here. And as a fan of mafia romance, I knew there was something so unique about this one here.
Because if I had her love—I wouldn’t be able to become the monster my dad needed me to be—the monster she needed me to be—to keep her safe.
Ruthless Princess is a story of two young people that fell in love and their love was utterly forbidden. They grew up together and were best friends, but to fall in love wasn't okay. Their parents handed out demands and rules, and if their love affair was found out, it meant betrayal and death. The world they grew up in wasn't easy and one had to make difficult choices for the people you loved. Junior had to make a painful choice, save the woman he loved by making her hate him. And his plan worked, their hate for each other grew but even their hate for each other couldn't mask the hidden love and desire that was always beneath the surface. As the feelings of love become rekindled, so is the risk of their relationship being found out...but Serena and Junior will need to make a decision....hide what they feel and stand tall for their love even if it means ....death
Sometimes, hearts can’t help but beat for the wrong person, and who am I to deny what my heart craves even if it ends up killing me?
WHEW BOY....this book was a powerhouse of a read. I will admit that at first I wasn't sure how I felt about it, it does have a bit of a slow start so I was unsure about it, but once it kicked gears, I was all in for the wild ride this author gives us. I was completely unhinged during the whole book and once I was invested I just didn't want to let this beautiful ravaged love story go. I adored Serena and Junior together. They are such a kick ass team, even when they hate each other fiercely. Their bantering was hilarious and I loved seeing that burning connection that just builds beneath the surface throughout the story. I have NEVER read a mafia romance like this one before though. There was such a unique take on the flow of this story and the hate/love tones within the relationship.
“As long as we both shall live,” I swore. “As long as we both shall live,” she repeated.
Also as a side note the world building on this one is fabulous. It actually had me eager to try out the connecting series to this one. The family connections are wild and crazy yet fun. I adored what we see built here and what the previous series set up this wonderful wild world. The relationship between all these friends was pure perfection. This story had me laughing and crying and experiencing a whole range of emotions that knocked my socks off.
Because… I choose you.” I held her hand tightly. “Because you own my heart.” She started sobbing quietly. “Because as Ash said, we’re only given moments, and I’m choosing to live mine with the truth.
Overall I foundRuthless Princess to be a fun and crazy story that was pure indulgence and I can't wait for more and seeing what this author gives us in this series....bring on the wild and crazy!!
I loved being back in the world of the Eagle Elite. Serena and Junior were playing with fire for years but it was painful during severe parts of this book. It was hard cause I know how and what the old generation went through and seeing all this played out got me feeling some type of way and shedding a few tears. I never thought any of the bosses would harm their kids but they’re also crazy as f**k so there was always a 50-50% chance things would go wrong… This book was much sexier than the previous one which I’m digging a lot.
I started reading this just before going to bed. I ended up reading it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. The story was so fast paced, that I couldn't help but need to keep going. Every time I thought of reading one more chapter, I would get to the end and feel I had to read more, until I realised I had finished the book! So much happens in this book, it is impossible to think what my favourite part was. It had humour, heartbreak and violence in perfect quantities.
Wow Wow Wow. I did not finish the eagle elite series, but this book makes me want to read that whole series.
This book blew me away. I am obsessed. Rachel Van Dyken really grabbed my attention and all I could think about was finishing this book. Gahh I can't wait to see what else she has in store for this season.
