Have you been Aleatha’d?
From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new contemporary romantic-suspense series, Royal Reflections, set in the world of the royal elite, where things are not as they appear.*RESILIENT REIGN is book two of the Royal Reflections series that began with RUTHLESS REIGN
I never thought Romig could top the shocking ending in Ruthless Reign. Darn! Was I wrong? Resilient Reign’s ending was twice as shocking and now I am left wondering what more lays in wait for Lucille and Oliver. Although the events of Resilient Reign were not as fast moving as Ruthless Reign, the journey was still exciting and mind-boggling.
It was fun coming back to Lucille and Oliver’s world with its political intrigue and romance. Lucille and Oliver grew closer and with this growth comes an increase in awareness of the dangers surrounding them. Things are not as they appear and they do not know whom they can trust. Secrets, selfishness and the hunger for power tops the agenda of almost everyone who they come in contact with both inside and outside of the palace. It’s good that they had each other’s backs.
Chock full of surprising events, Ruthless Reign left me with more questions than answers. This series comes with many complicated layers. The peeling away of each layer opens the door to more secrets and astonishing revelations. Prepare yourself for moments of waiting with bated breath when turning the pages of this book as the story gets more intense with each chapter.
Once again, Romig delivered a tale designed to keep her readers engaged, entertained and waiting with bated breath for the next book in the series.
