Ruthless Reign – Elena Lawson

4/5 stars

This was the absolute perfect way to finish Becca’s story! And she even got her third man! As much as I love Hardin and Kaleb, Aodhán is far and away my favourite, and I’m so glad he got his happy ending!

Elena really packed in the tension and edge to this book, and there were several times that I was restraining from skimming just to find out what happened and make sure everyone was alright. I really have to hand it to her for building the tension up so well and making me temporarily forget that I was reading a romance book and not an out-and-out thriller.

What I did miss was wholesome interactions between the characters. I loved the spice (LOVED the spice. Seriously….that bit with the gun??? Instant combustion), but I wanted to see more of Becca interacting with the others. Characters like Sloane, Damien, and even the other Saints felt a little static because Becca didn’t get to build interactions with them. They seemed more of an afterthought than anyone essential to the story.

A big thank you to Elena and Courtney for letting me get my eyes on this one! I can’t wait to see what y’all have in store!
