The Rivaled Crown by Holly Renee
5.0

I absolutely loved this series! 
I am so glad it did not take Dacre long to rescue Verena! I also love the fact that they are mates and I think I like this version of mates the most. They were true fated mates that were always drawn to each other and the love they had for each other was just mesmerizing. 
I fell in love with Dacre and just kept falling when he chose her over everything. I love that he stood up to his father and the possessiveness in him! 🔥 
I’m glad that the truth came out about their mothers and I’m glad that Dacres father turned sides and joined in on hers. 
I’m also glad the Verena was the one to kill her father even though Dacre would have gladly done it. 
This is one of my favourite series and I couldn’t put it down. Every time I went to finish a chapter I just couldn’t stop! 
I wish I could get more of their lives together as king and queen because they were definitely spicy! Loved how it ended with some spice too, it was exactly how they were together, Dacre worshipping her and Verena not being able to resist!
