Yall don’t know how impatiently I’ve waited for this book. Ever since deviant king, Xander and Kimberly stood out, even more than Elsa and Aiden tbh. I really wanted to know about this ongoing tension between them and why Kimberly kept asking for forgiveness. Now that I know the reason, I’m just thinking that my poor girl suffered for no reason. Although I know the real reason he resented her all these years, it doesn’t make up for everything he did and how it hurt Kim. Also the fact that she was thinking that it was because of a stupid little prank.😭
This is the first book from the Royal Elite series where I cried so much. Kimberly deserved the world and reading that part about her suicide hurt so much. I was just cursing Xander and her mother under my breath for pushing her till that point. He literally said “why don’t you disappear”😭😭 that hurt me and Its in a book, imagine hearing those words from your once best friend who you loved and relied on more than anyone.
Every time Xander would say stuff like “know your f*cking place” and “you disgust me”, I lost it. Not to mention, that he repeated it so many times. That made me hate him to the point that I was rooting for Kimberly to move on and I was like Xander doesn’t deserve her. After they finally got together, he was like “finally I can have you after so many years of yearning”, I was just thinking to myself, - okay… and? You’re not suddenly a saint. What did you do apart from adding reasons for Kim to commit suicide? Then he drops a bomb which made me melt right there, right then:
“Even when you were with others?”
“What others?” He brushes his lips against mine. “You’re my first, Green.”
He was saving himself for her even though he pretty much knew that they can never be together 😭😭 it doesn’t make up for all the trauma he caused Kim over the years but at least we know that he was being genuine about only wanting Kimberly.
Okay lastly, coming to Ronan and Kimberly. I loved them both together and separately. Although I haven’t finished the series yet, I know for a fact that my fave male character will be Ronan and Female will most likely be Kimberly. They’re both sunshine’s and need to be protected at all costs.
I’m so excited for Ronans book, I’ve eaten up every chapter he’s been in so far. So having a whole book of him is just a blessing😩🤌
