I am so in love with this series. I have read each and every one of them and have yet to be disappointed and this book was no different. I enjoyed getting to see some of those characters again as well. I love the dynamic between these two characters. I love the juxtaposition between the broody and the sassy. The banter is well written and I loved the relationship between these two. I laughed and swooned so much and could not put this book down. I am definitely excited to see what Maya has for us next.

Amazing. This may have just topped Ruthless King. Colm & Imo’s story was so pure and endearing. The development and pacing was just perfection. Definitely one of Maya’s best work!!

The last book of King of Rittenhouse was about Colm’s story. In this book we can see Colm trying to be wild and free and in the same time we are presented a broken part of him. He was his sister’s protector and father figure and he felt betrayed by her and his bestfriend (check the Fearless king for more details) and in the same time he had his injuries that made him give up. Now, about Imogen I can say that she’s a strong woman, even though she’s broken too. She doesn’t give up when she wants something. She was scared but in the same time she knew she had to face reality at some point. I liked how faithful she was when it come to people she loved.
Overall I liked this story even though it wrecked me a little. Seeing how they helped each other heal and fight with their fears was something else. I loved how the Kings were there for Colm even though he was really mean to them. They were family and family doesn’t give up. By the way, I strongly advise you to read all the Rittenhouse books! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ stars for this great finale. I loved it and I hope that in the future we’ll meet them again in other stories.

Colm & Imogen | surprise pregnancy romance | | M/F | 3 chillis | Book 5
This book was truly awful. Colm was abusive and I hope 17 year old girls don't read this and confuse this for love.

Colm completely stole my heart in this final book of the Kings of Rittenhouse series. Heartless? Don't let the title fool you. I think Colm may just have the biggest heart of all of the Kings, but he also has a huge vault within that heart that he keeps all of his emotions locked inside of. Like anyone who's loved and lost you can't get hurt if you don't let anyone get too attached, right? Losing his parents at a young age made Colm lock up his heart up tight, but it also made him dream of something perfect to replace that hurt. He just doesn't know exactly how to deal with his emotions, he's broken for lack of a better term, but he's also so beautiful in his brokenness. His counterpart is the perfect person to understand him.
So many pieces of the Colm puzzle fell into place in this final book. Colm and Liv Frost lost both of their parents at a very young age forcing Colm to step into the fatherly role over his little sister. Never wanting to disappoint her, mess up, or heaven forbid leave her completely alone he never stepped out of line. Colm was always the responsible King in his group of friends until his sister and best friend, Ford, betrayed him. Now Colm feels lost. With no one to take care and no best friend he's sinking further into the not giving any f**cks. He's reckless, drinking, not returning calls, basically not being Colm. You see, Colm has always been the guy with a plan, the guy who falls fast for a girl, his mind never slowing down. After one date he already has the white picket fence, 2.3 kids and dog scenario planned out before he even really thinks about if he actually likes the girl, which has also led him to several failed relationships. Hence, Colm's self-esteem isn't the greatest and he is going to break your heart with how he views himself. He is also going to frustrate you and infuriate you with how he is now on a self sabotage mode with just about everything in his life. It goes without saying...he's male and he makes mistakes, but at the end of the day, he's just looking for love and he doesn't know how to ask for it.
Enter....well, I'll just say, you are absolutely going to love his love interest. She's the perfect match for Colm, but for now, I'd like to leave it a mystery. Just know she's strong, loving, and broken in her own way. Their broken parts match up to create a wholeness that beats to their own rhythm. It's a beautiful love story that will wrap around your insides and melt you.
For the final book, Maya does a great job of sprinkling all of the Kings throughout the story so you will love catching up or meeting them if you are new to the series.

This book was not only a roller-coaster of emotions but also an amazing way to finish this series, I loved every moment of it.
If you don't know this book is about Colm, he's a character that has been appearing since the first book and right now after an injury and a hard healing process, he's dealing with his mental health, Colm is really in a bad place he's really depressed and unmotivated, and I think my favorite part of this was seeing him trying and proving to himself that he's worthy and that he has people who love and support him.
Imogen, on the other hand, is dealing with how people perceive and pity her for the death of her ex-boyfriend, she's also dealing with self-love and learning how to love again after something so horrible.
This book was really emotional for me I cried like two or three times, there's nothing more beautiful that see two broken people helping each other to heal and grow from that hard place.
ps: I love how this group of friends is a really big family and see all of them happy makes me feel amazing

Reading through the synopsis of the other books in the series didn't really catch my eye but this one was cute solid 3 ⭐. Rely wish the main couple could have just sat down and properly spoken to one another 3 misunderstandings in though. Would not have work if not for the dual POV.
