Ruthless Noble {a review}

It's here! It's finally here! Ruthless Noble is available, and friends it was so worth the wait.

You may recall that back in April, I had read Savage Queen. I was completely taken with that book, and fell hard for Savvy and Jasper. You may also recall that I had some questions that I needed answers to. Well, I'm here to tell you, all my questions were answered in Ruthless Noble.

        1. Why did Savvy have to change schools? ANSWERED!
        2. What is her mother's angle? ANSWERED (and then some)!
        3. What is she holding over Savvy? ANSWERED!
        4. WHAT IS GOING ON? ANSWERED!
So yeah, like I said, all my questions were answered. There was also a part of the story that had my jaw drop. And oofta, I was not expecting that. But part of me thinks I should have. It just fits ya know?

Okay recap time. Although it will be brief because hello story continuation. We pick up right where we left off, and things start to happen quickly. Not only was Savvy just set up with Duke, she's also in the midst of an asthma attack. And this attack is a doozy. Thankfully Chuck was at this dinner, and he quickly gets Carter on the phone. Carter then arranges for Tessa to come up to the penthouse, where she then assists Savvy through the process until transport arrives. Flash forward just a bit, and everyone is at the hospital. Jasper arrives, has words with Carter (and therefore the Royals since they were by his side), and then sneaks off to find Savvy. And then a bunch more happens that I can't say anything about because SPOILERS! 

Let's just get this out of the way now, I gave Ruthless Noble 5 stars. It was such a fantastic story. The storyline with Natalie had me anticipating the drop that would happen. The engagement storyline just had me laughing especially when Duke told Savvy what he did. The revelation in chapter 34, yeah that happened. Loved everything with Jasper and Savvy. These two are amazing together. Savvy had me tearing up when the one scene with Carter happened. I was proud of Savvy for telling everything. That took incredible strength, but she had the support to do it. Everything about this book I just loved. From the characters to the setting to the storylines to the final page, I was all in. Oh, and the steam in this book. OOOOHHHHH DAMN. Now excuse me while I head to Amazon to buy physical copies.

Highly recommend the Royalty Crew duet. Like I said last time, if you enjoyed the Folkestone Sins series by Samantha Lovelock, then you will enjoy the Royalty Crew. Just trust me on that. And if you haven't read either series, what are you waiting for? Go to Amazon NOW!

Thank you for reading my thoughts, 
Laura

Savage Queen {a review}

 

If you read my weekly wrap up then you already know that Savage Queen was my favorite book that I read last week.

Savage Queen is a bully romance that features the enemies to lovers trope, and it is FABULOUS. Oh, and technically this is a sports romance as well. I KNOW! While all that caught my attention, and drew me toward the book, it is the storyline that made me stay.

Samanatha, better known as Savvy, is starting her senior year in school and her mother has decided she needs to switch schools. So here she is at this place she doesn't want to be, with no familiar faces, and she has to use a different last name. Her mother clearly doesn't want anyone to know that Savvy is related to one of the founding families. Therefore using the St James name will keep people at bay. Oh, and Savvy has to be called Samantha as well. No more Savvy at this school. While Savvy has to change so much about herself, her true personality cannot be hidden. She is a strong young woman who doesn't put up with BS. Oh, and don't treat her friends poorly, she doesn't appreciate that.

On that very first day she meets Jasper Noble. He rules the school so to speak, and Savvy immediately challenges him on everything. Naturally Jasper is intrigued by her. How could he not be. Jasper also thinks she looks familiar, but he can't figure out where he's seen her before. There is so much I want to say about this book! Yet I have to reign it in so I don't go too far. Just know that things between Savvy and Jasper continue to build, and the tension is there. These two enemies want each other.

Moving on, because I don't want to overshare...

I have questions that I need answered. First, WHY did Savvy have to change schools? What is her mother's game plan? She clearly has an angle. What is she holding over Savvy to make her go along with this? Why can't anyone know she's related to Carter King, and is a member of the Royalty Crew? WHAT IS GOING ON?

Also, um, I wasn't expecting Savage Queen to end in a cliffhanger! Alley Ciz had me almost throwing my kindle. I literally groaned when the book ended. Is it June yet? Because I need Ruthless Noble to see what happens next!

As I said in the beginning, this was my favorite book that I read last week. It is fabulous. I am eagerly anticipating Ruthless Noble. I will be buying a physical copy of the Royalty Crew series. I will also be going back to read the U of J series, since this is technically a spin-off.

Let me leave you with this: If you enjoyed the Folkestone Sins series by Samantha Lovelock, then you're going to enjoy Savage Queen. You have a strong female lead, you have romance, you have questions that you're trying to answer, you have fantastic characters that you want to know further, and the setting is wonderful. It's all there. So trust me when I say go read Savage Queen!

About the author

 
Alley Ciz is an indie author of Contemporary/New Adult, Rom-Com, Sports Romances. She’s a stay at home mom to 3 amazing and crazy mini royals, a 95lb lab, and let’s face it on some days her hubby is her 4th kid… But to be fair she totally loves him a lot. When she’s not corralling her crazy mini royals she can be found writing the stories the voices in her head tell her. Caffeine is a staple in her daily diet since she does most of her writing late at night when the rest of her house is asleep, usually with her trusty dog Buke, short for Beukeboom reluctantly named after a NY Ranger even though she’s a NJ Devils fan all the way. Is it any surprise she writes sports romances? Pizza and mac-n-cheese are major food groups and she is a proud Potterhead and superhero buff. She is a complete romance junkie and can always be found reading or listening to a book.
