- Sürekli timeskip çok canımı sıktı
- Plot çok basic yaratıcı bi gidişat beklemeyin
- Bu gidişattan yazar da farkında o yüzden araya tw sahneler koyuyor ki okunsun
- Enemies to lovers yazılmaya çalışılmış ancak trope isn’t in the room with us
- Elsa zeki falan değil, yazar kızı zeki göstericem diye baya ter dökmüş ama kız saf gerizekalı
- Elsa kendi içinde bi love-hate ilişkisi kurup saçma sapan kararlar veriyor, okurken içim şişti
- Aiden adı üstünde sapkın yazılmış ama bence daha çok mide bulandırıcı. Yaptığı şeyler affedilmemeli ve kesinlikle romantize edilmemeli
- Aiden’ı okurken o kadar çok cringelendim ki
- Bunu okumak yerine gidin ao3 fanfic okuyun bi farkı yok zaten bu kitaba vereceğiniz parayı gidin başka kitaba verin
- İçerisinde bolca tw ögeler ve sahneler içeren iğrenç bi kitaptı. Evet kendini okutuyor ama yine de okurken mideniz bulanıyor. Önermem almayın 👎

Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️.5/5
I don't know if I made a mistake reading Glyndon and Creighton's books first, because now that I have seen a small glimpse of their origin story... I think I need to read these all first before I finish any more Legacy Books.
𝙎𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨:
On her very first day of joining Royal Elite, Aiden King tells Elsa Quinn he is going to destroy her. This puts a target on her back and everyone starts calling her Frozen and making her life hell because of her cold demeanour and because "The King" has spoken. Two years later (keeping herself pretty invisible) she lands on Aiden's radar again (Or did she ever really leave???) and his malicious heart has his eyes set on her. Whether to destroy her or claim her....we will have to find out!
𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨:
Elsa is determined and driven to succeed. She wants to get into Cambridge and that's the only thing she has her eyes on. So she doesn't want to get distracted. I found it a little strange that everyone called her Frozen...I didn't find her cold or frozen because we never actually see her cold and frozen. She seems generally sweet and caring to Kim. She is open, talkative, has things she likes, dreams and does not seem like a bitch. She might be quiet, nerdy, unpopular and closed off from the popular group but I didn't see her cold....
Aiden is cruel and vindictive. He bullies her, torments her and he is pretty cruel to her. But that very soon develops into the fact that he cannot stop thinking about her and cannot stop wanting to own her, possess her and make her his.
What I found surprising is given that I love Dark Romance...While the Legacy of God's books are definitely darker, I am finding that I'm enjoying the Royal Elite series a little bit more. Something I do wish was a little different is I wanted Elsa to be a little bit more of a brat and push back on Aiden. What I am looking for in a bully romance, is to see more resistance and not bending over almost immediately when a guy is that much of a dick.
Now what was annoying is I've read a couple of Rina Kent's books and ALL HER MEN ARE THE SAME!!! They are obsessive, and unrealistically jealous, see red and explode the minute that the FMC even looks at another guy. If someone breathes in the FMC's direction they go full-on psychotic and want to murder that guy (even if that guy happens to be their best friend.) They are always alphaholes, always aloof, and super popular! THEN WHY ARE ALL HER FMC'S VIRGINS??? It just heightens the frustration to the possessiveness they display above because "he was her first"... It gets repetitive and annoying SUPER FAST!
There is an element of mystery in this book. Elsa doesn't remember her childhood. She doesn't know much about her past and she has blocked what has happened to her by repressing her memories. But back to her being determined, even though she has these dark and disturbing flashbacks and nightmares she wants to figure out what is going on.
𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨:
▶ SINGLE POV (The rest in the series are Dual POV)
▶
▶ High School Bully Romance
▶ Football Romance (Kinda)
▶ Who Did This To You?
▶ DubCon
▶ Forced Proximity
▶ Jealous, Obsessive and Possessive Alphahole MMC
▶ Touch Her and Die
▶ Virgin FMC
𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤 𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨:
▷ "You Taste Like"...
▷ Good Girl
▷ He Washes Her Hair
▷ Hockey Jersey Heat
▷ Cages her with his arms
▷ Hand Necklaces
▷ Mine
This does end on a cliffhanger and I am so sucked in now and addictive I RAN to read book two. Spoiler I already finished it...but am late on my review
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Is it irony or fate that Grumpy chose the book about Creighton’s Father RIGHT AFTER FINISHING CREIGHTON’S BOOK????
Let’s see if Daddy’s book is at good as his…

In this one, Elsa keeps dragging everything on by denying what we all know. And Aiden us just... a bit too much of a psycho🤷🏻♀️
I get the whole dark romance bullshit, but this one was getting close to being too dark for my liking.
I will, however, read the next one because I'm curious about the big mystery and I'd like to see if these characters can indeed get to the romance part of this dark romance.

This book is my first introduction to dark romances and I don't think I could have picked a better option.
𝒜𝒾𝒹𝑒𝓃 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝑜𝓊𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈 𝓂𝑒. 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝓌𝑜 𝓎𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓈 𝒶𝑔𝑜 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝒽𝑒 𝓌𝓇𝒶𝓅𝓅𝑒𝒹 𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒽𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹 𝓂𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝒶𝓉. 𝐻𝒾𝓈 𝓉𝑜𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝒾𝓈 𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓁𝓁… 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝒶𝓂𝑒. 𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑜𝓊𝓈𝑒𝒹. 𝑅𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽. 𝒮𝓂𝑜𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔.
Please read the TW before reading this book tho,
“𝐹𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒾𝓉 𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒, 𝒷𝓊𝓉 𝒾𝒻 𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝑜 𝓈𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂, 𝓎𝑜𝓊’𝓁𝓁 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓈𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂, 𝐸𝓁𝓈𝒶.”
Aiden King is the main love interest, an Anti-hero. who forces Elsa into a realtionship with him. Taking what he sees as his.
“𝐼𝒻 𝒶𝓃𝓎𝑜𝓃𝑒 𝒹𝒶𝓇𝑒𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝓁𝑒𝓉 𝒶𝓁𝑜𝓃𝑒 𝓉𝑜𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉’𝓈 𝓂𝒾𝓃𝑒, 𝐼’𝓁𝓁 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓂𝓊𝓇𝒹𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂. 𝐼𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒸𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓇?”
He is overall unlikable and overbearing over Elsa but that is the point of his charecter, he views her as his and his only, harming anyone that dares to even look at her the wrong way.
“𝒴𝑜𝓊’𝓁𝓁 𝓁𝑒𝓉 𝓂𝑒 𝑜𝓌𝓃 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 𝒾𝓃𝒸𝒽 𝑜𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝓌𝑜𝓃’𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝓈𝓌𝑒𝑒𝓉𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉?”
Elsa made the choise on her first day at a super prestigous school to talk to the 'wrong' person, Authough talking to Kim may have caused relentless bullying the pair are best friends who love each other through it all
“𝒜𝓇𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝐸𝓁𝓈𝒶? 𝐵𝑒𝒸𝒶𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓈𝓊𝓅𝓅𝑜𝓈𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓂𝓊𝒸𝒽. 𝐻𝑒𝓁𝓁. 𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓈𝓃’𝓉 𝓈𝓊𝓅𝓅𝑜𝓈𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝐼 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝑜𝒻 𝓂𝓎𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻.”
I have seen a lot of reviews saying people expected the ending but I did not see that coming. maybe I missed something but I think It was a shock .
“𝐼𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝓂𝓎 𝓉𝓇𝓊𝓈𝓉, 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝒶𝓃’𝓉 𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝓂𝓎 𝒷𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝒻𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓃𝒹’𝓈 𝓌𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒷𝑒𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓃 𝓂𝑒. 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓉’𝓁𝓁 𝓂𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝓂𝑒 𝓉𝓇𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝑒.”
