I really enjoyed this prequel and the introduction to the RK world. I have been wanting to read all of the newer ones for a while, but I'm a completionist and needed to know the background of literally every character in the 'verse... So I finally picked up the omnibus SE of the Royal Elite and got started!

I enjoyed the bit of mystery/suspense elements in this one, especially in the second half. And I both love and hate that it was only a standalone instead of a duet. Loved it because we got the answers quickly and nothing felt like it was just dragging on endlessly. Hated it because it did feel a little like a fast-track for the start of the relationship. And I'm actually not sure exactly what the full timeline was... 

But I jumped right into Royal Elite and kept going with Aiden's story immediately. So it has me hooked!
