I got sucked into this story so fast and it had me hooked throughout the entire story. I great romance with a good amount of drama. I know it was supposed to be dark,

but I just hated how much Levi disrespected Astrid's personal autonomy and she just accepted it. I guess you could read betwee the lines and they eventually figured out a healthy balance, but it just came off as so toxic that I couldn't get passed it and had to deduct a star from my rating.

i know rina kent claims to be british but as someone who's lived all over england (literally north, midlands, and now south/southwest) i do not know a single person who talks like that. i feel like maybe she picked up a few words and ran with it because most of the british slang is misused or super oddly placed in sentences. i think her dialogue in general isn't accurate to how people naturally speak but this book was riddled with spelling + grammar mistakes even outside of the dialogue. the main characters had no chemistry, from what i can see at least, but it was an easy read at least and i enjoyed some of the supporting characters.

Astrid! I've meant to go back and read the parents' books, and I've finally started that journey since I'm between books and waiting on the newest Legacy of Gods series. But Astrid and Leon are probably one of the couples I'm the most excited to read about. They are also the ones that we've seen the most out of the first 5 books in that other series. Plus, I really love their kid's books! They are Landon, Brandon, and Glyndon's parents, and it was so much fun seeing how these two met. I kept seeing a lot of similarities to their books, and it was a lot of fun seeing where this universe started. I missed the college setting. In this world, the Royal Elite school is just a high school; we saw them all focus on what they want to do next. We barely saw Astrid's artistic side emerge, and she became a world-famous artist. But we saw the beginning of her and Levi's sports careers. We even got to see their families, and it's just a wild ride in this whole thing. I loved it and can't wait to work on more of the series.
