Book 1: Vicious Kings
POV: Grace, Hale, Cirilo, Zaid, Lucas
Steam Level: steamy at times
4.5/5

Excellent start to this series. This book starts with Grace being kidnapped on her wedding day after a bloody shootout in the church. But her kidnappers aren’t strangers but blasts from the past, from a life she thought she left behind. This book was intense and intriguing with several twists abs turns.

I really like when RH books hace multiple PIVs and am glad that Vicious Kings does. I like seeing all of them fight their attraction and how the lines blur between kidnappers to former friends/lives, captor to the girl they can’t revisit. This was such a fun book abs I cannot wait ti see what will happen next.

Book 2: Ruthless Knights
POV: Hale, Grace, Zaid, Ciro, Lucas

Book 2: Ruthless Knights
POV: Hale Grace,, Zaid, Cirilo, Lucas
Steam Level: Toasty at times
5/5

Ruthless Knights starts a few days after Savage Kings ends. Grace has gone from prisoner to “guest” and now more. I couldn’t put down Ruthless Knights and the cliffhanger was crazy. So glad I’m reading it in the box set. I’m also enjoying how Grace’s relationship with the guts is progressing. This book isn’t all steam, mostly suspense and action. The steamy scenes are intermixed is just the right areas ti break the tension or move their relationships forward. I cannot wait to see what happens next.


Book 3: Savage Queen
POV: Grace,, Zaid, Hale Lucas, Cirilo
Steam Level: Toasty at times
5/5

Savage Queen is the final book in the Dark Elite trilogy. Starting exactly where book 2 ends, Grace has to deal with the fallout of the revelation. Grace proves her strength, smarts and ingenuity throughout this book. Savage Queen is the darkest of these books but also the most steamy. I stayed up way too late finishing this story because I didn’t want to put it down.
