Destiny Lam's Reviews > Ruthless Reign

i knew i loved roman and liza from the moment i met them in “shattered crown” (the kozlov empire series). they shared such an undeniable chemistry and to see how their story unfolded in “ruthless reign” was truly beautiful ❤️ and being able to see characters like kira and maxim again just made my heart so full. kira is such a girls girl (the sex club 🤭). i knew miss girl was up to something.

i love a good mafia, bodyguard, forbidden romance and monica kayne DELIVERED 👏🏼 this book was everything and more. thank you for giving me the opportunity to read the first book to the new series “tarnished reign” as an arc !! as always, such amazing work. from the plot, to the tension, spice, banter, and unexpected scenes … i quite literally banged this out in one sitting !!

liza, this girl had me sobbing the way she put everyone else’s needs before her own. she sacrifices her own happiness for the sake of her family’s own mistakes and troubles. she protects her sister with her life and does everything she can to make sure she has a better life. i absolutely loved liza. she is a strong and independent woman.

roman … oh this man 😩 from the moment i met him in the kozlov empire series i just KNEW i would love him. mans was ready to start a war to protect liza. the things this man said had me CRUMBLING !! i would’ve immediately folded. and the way he kept calling liza “milaya” which means sweetheart !!! oh i was SWOONING !!

their story was so beautifully written, i can’t stop thinking about it even after a few days of finishing !! i will forever be in love with this book world and i’m so stoked to see what’s next 🖤

🌶️🌶️🌶️ (PLEASEEEEE MY TOES CURLED !!! the club scene … i would’ve folded so fast. where can i find myself a roman to take me to a cabin and forget about the world ??)
