Mega intense

PSA-This book isn’t for everyone, if you have ANY triggers…I wouldn’t recommend it!

For those who have NO triggers and can handle very dark content…this is a good one!
I was enraged at the beginning and by the end I was a sobbing mess!
Awesome start to the Dukes trilogy.

" I want you to only kiss me."

"Fuck around and find out, Little Bird"

"A bear coming out of hibernation. A bird raising its wings."

"He doesn’t get to do that. To be sweet. Sexy. He’s a monster, I repeat to myself. A monster."

"If I’m theirs, then why the fuck aren’t they mine?"

"These three are broken pieces of a whole."

“Plus, she’s got my ink now, and that makes her mine. Oldest dibs known to mankind.”


"This is the man who put stars into my sky. The man who first showed me what it felt like to be touched with reverence. The man who looks at me as if I could save him, even though I can’t."


What a fucking ride literally the f-word is needed to describe this book. What a rollercoaster of emotions I honestly had no idea where this story would end up. Angel and Sam really know how to write an RH bully romance and end it on a happy note. I didn't know how we would get there. To be able to go through the emotions with our badass female lead Lavinia.

As Angel and Sam fashioned this book was so full of spice, shocking surprises, what the fuck moments and so many struggles for each of the characters. There is a lot of trauma to unpack in these books and I was very emotional to experience these characters.

I honestly can't pick between Nick, Remy, or Sy as you read these books you see so much more from each of them and the character growth was perfection to watch unfold. Watching the chosen family come together was a treat.


I look forward to Princes. These books keep getting better and better. Let's just say I'm addicted to Angel and Sam's The Royals Forsyth series.

I hated all these characters so much and the ending as so abrupt and dumb now I have to read the next one because I’m so mad about the ending and now I’m even more annoyed. 

Lavinia is a cog in this machine that treats her so shitty. Everyone is doing such horrible things to her and everyone is just ok with that. 

Not my style. 

The men, the smut, it’s all just so horrible.

This is a gripping and intense read that will captivate fans of dark, twisted romance and enemies-to-lovers tropes, particularly those who enjoy complex, emotionally charged stories with a strong focus on power struggles and forbidden relationships.

The Dukes and their Duchess

⚠️Trigger Warnings Galore⚠️

Holy Duke what a wild ride!!

This is the fourth book in the Royals of Forsyth series. The first book in a trilogy centering around The Dukes.

This story immediately starts intense and stays that way. Lavinia may be considered “royalty” due to her last name but she is far from being the spoiled girl you would think she is, she has been through a lot in her life and she is still suffering.

Nick, Sy, and Remy are The Dukes. Nicky has wanted Vinny for a while now and he played the long game to get her. Now that he has her, he’s not as happy as he thought he would be.

This story does end on a cliffhanger and I suggest reading books 1-3 before reading this book!!
