Okay I did not think I could love Savvy anymore but OH MY GOSH. She is a queen. She handles every single thing that is thrown at her, and she does it all while protecting those she loves. And don’t even get me started on Jasper…. *SWOON* He is the epitome of a possessive, broody, alpha male which obviously means I love him automatically. I loved seeing him interact with Savvy and the rest of the Royals. Savvy and Jasper are the perfect power couple and their story was so so good. It wouldn’t be an Alley Ciz book without a few good plot twists, so buckle up, and enjoy the ride!!

Wowza!!
This book is JAM PACKED with emotions and decisions and deceit that all comes CRASHING together like waves on the shore.
Jasper and Savvy find their way to their HEA path and that is the best thing of all. They had to fight hard for that. Two people who didn’t know each other existed before the start of their senior year in HS find a path that leads them to redemption of things and HEA and it’s beautiful ❤️❤️

Ugh, I really wanted so much more from this book. I wanted to love Jasper by the end and I just didn't. He grew on me a tiny bit more, but not enough. I can appreciate that Savvy is a badass chick, but I want to see the Hero save his girl, not the heroine fighting his fights for him and saving his ass. What exactly did Jasper do in this book that was swoon worthy or even worth falling for him over? That scene he pulled at the hospital was the ultimate asshole move. And then there was the fact that Savvy says she loves him and he NEVER says it to her. He gets it out one time while she's asleep and that's it. He just never really stole my heart.
I just want more Carter!!!!! Ahhh... I can't wait for his story!

Ruthless Noble is the second book in this series & picks up where the cliffhanger left us in the first book. Once again, Alley brings all the feels to surface while reading this story.
Savvy & Jasper are one of my favorite couples. Despite all that gets in the way, they both keep fighting & pushing forward. There’s a major development that I honestly didn’t see coming so I was “on the edge of my seat” throughout the whole book.
It was definitely a wonderful conclusion to this duet!

This story picks up right after the massive cliffhanger in Savage Queen. I didn’t think the chemistry between Savvy and Jasper could be any more explosive than the first book but I was wrong. There were so many twist and turns in this book, it had laughing, crying, fanning myself and wanting to throw my kindle. Savvy has become one of my all time favorite female heroines. I absolutely love how strong she is and doesn’t let anyone get in her way. Jasper is the alphahole you can’t help but fall in love with and I loved how he was there for Savvy and let her shine. One of my favorite things about Alley’s writing is how she not only makes you fall in love with the main characters but also all the supporting characters. She has written another amazing story and this one has become one of my favorites from her. I can’t recommend this duet enough!

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg! What a sexy, steamy, romantic, suspenseful, and entertaining conclusion to such a wonderfully dark romance duet. I just loved the first book so much and I could NOT wait for the conclusion because the first one ended in such a doozy that has left me wanting for MONTHS!
I was truly blessed to receive the first book of the duet as an ARC for an honest review from The Hatters Authors Services and I am double blessed because I received the second book of the duet as an ARC as well. I was so shocked by the conclusion to the first book, that I was counting down the days when the second one would be released. I mean, it was only two months in between, but it felt like a lifetime of waiting. (I’m so impatient!)
I loved the story and the characters of this book world so much and I was so excited to be back in it and to finally know what happens to my beautiful babies!
The storyline had so many unexpected twists and turns and shocking reveals that I felt like I was getting whiplash. However, there was a little too much back and forth of the story and sometimes there would be unexpected lulls in between that could make the read a little slow at times. BUT…. I finished this book in about three hours sooooo it wasn’t that slow for me or it was just my constant need to know what happens next with my two sarcastic love beans.
I LOVE THESE MAIN CHARACTERS OH SO MUCH and I JUST COULDN’T GET ENOUGH OF THEM! Savvy and Jasper are such a fun couple to read about and OH THE BANTER. Sexy banter is ALWAYS necessary for a dark or bully romance for me and this banter WAS SO GOOD! Just so good omg. It made me laugh and snap my fingers in appreciation. Such beautiful dialogue writing that always left me wanting more.
So the banter was great, but the STEAMMMMMMM….. OH SO GOOD! I definitely took some very detailed notes to save for my husband later. They have such great chemistry and their sexy scenes would set even a nun’s loins on fire. (I may get struck down by lightning, but I think God would understand if he/she read this book….) Also….there is a car scene that I read at least three times. I just needed every detail for my notes!
Overall, this book was just AMAZING and perfect for any dark romance lover and their friends. The author has such a great way with words and has left me wanting so much more. I can’t wait to read more from her because her side characters sounds like a great next read!
