4stars!
I think I killed my computer today with all research I did about democracy. Witch is reason why I'm on my mob.
I'm sorry for all mistakes in this review.
This one was better than te last one, but still just fo 4 stars- which is not bad rating at all. I would give it five stars for sex scene. That I loved :D
Now I can't say that I expected what I found out in this book, and it was definitely surprisse. Also, I didn't like ending which was clifhanger. Sometimes when book finish with it I want to tead next part in that moment, but sometimes I'm not interested at all. This book was second one. I'm adding next part to my to-read list, but I'm not sure when I will read it.

☆ I received an ARC via Sassy Savvy Fabulous PR in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆
Belle and Smith’s story continues on…
In this eloquently crafted second installment filled with love, romance, drama, scandal, eroticism, and twists and turns that will keeping your head in a tailspin and keep your kindles heated.
I really loved how Belle rallies against all of her obstacles and the protective nature of Smith.
This book really put things into perspective for me, as it made me realize the true vulnerability and how much they have to lose and what’s at stake with Hammond being a huge threat to everything and all.
In the end though, you can’t help what you feel and/or what’s there, and that’s that spark that both Belle and Smith have for the other. They know that their affair could go down in flames and destroy them altogether, and yet, they can’t stay from the other and will go to the umpteenth lengths to make sure that the other won’t get hurt.
I was really looking forward to this installment, and while it definitely brought the heat....it also answered some of the questions I had, while leaving a gap to others that will probably be answered in the next book, where we finally get to see where the final pieces fall.
Can’t wait for even more scandal and secrets in Capture Me, releasing this December!!

Better than the first Smith book. Lots of suspensy and sexy moments.
I think Edward is the star of this whole series! I love that guy!

Still loving Smith. Not loving the pushing away, but can't fault the reasoning and it didn't keep me from devouring this second book in mere hours. I am confused as to why he did what he did at the end. Only one way to find out.

Covet Me is the second part of Belle’s story in the Royals saga, and it’s an addictive addition to the series. Once again, Geneva Lee had me hooked with a story I devoured in a single sitting.
I’ll be honest and say my feelings toward this one mirrored my feelings toward Crave Me in some ways. It took a while for me to be sucked into the details of this book, but once things were moving I was hooked. I think my issue was that there was a bit too much back-and-forth at the start of this one, and it resulted in my feelings mirroring their wishy-washy relationship. In fact, it made the good bits seem very sudden. Despite this, I was hooked and loved the things that played out later in the book. Add in all the details that were left hanging, and I’m desperate to dive into the next book.
Without a doubt, Geneva Lee has offered another addictive story with Covet Me.

Ihr leidenschaftliches Verlangen und ihre überwältigende Liebe entwickelte sich in einem rasanten Tempo. Selbst Smiths Vergangenheit scheint Belle nicht einschüchtern zu können. Doch dann platzt sie in eine eindeutige und kompromittierende Szene. Mit einem gebrochenem Herzen stürzt sie sich in ihre Arbeit. Doch die Erinnerungen an ihn drohen sie zu überwältigen...
Mit „Royal Kiss“ geht die Geschichte um die schöne Belle und den gerissenen Anwalt Smith Price in die zweite Runde. Dieser knüpft unmittelbar an seinen Vorgänger an.
Doch obwohl Smith und Belle unzertrennlich erscheinen, überrascht die Autorin mit einer für mich unvorhersehbaren Wendung. Sprachlos und perplex verfolgte ich den weiteren Verlauf. Belles Gefühlswelt ein einziges Chaos, das auch auf den Leser übergeht.
Gefesselt von dem seelischen Tief, in dem Belle steckt, und dem Plan, den Smith verfolgt, schafft es die Autorin größtenteils die Spannung zu halten.
Aufwühlend und fesselnd geht es weiter.
Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich, sodass dem Paar nur selten einige ruhige und intime Momente gestattet werden
Auf niemanden scheinen sie sich noch verlassen zu können und nirgendwo sind sie sicher.
Jede Menge Spannung und dramatische Szenen, die den Leser packen.
Aufgrund der vielen Vorkommnisse vor allem zum Ende des Buchs, fand ich es leider schade, dass ein so wichtiger und inniger Moment für das Paar einfach in zwei Sätzen nebenbei erwähnt wurde.
Vielleicht ein wenig zu viel Spannung an dieser Stelle...
Belle und Smith habe ich als Protagonisten sehr lieb gewonnen. Die schöne Belle verliert zwar aufgrund gewisser Ereignisse an Charakterstärke, punktet jedoch mit einem ehrgeizigen Auftreten im Kampf für ihren großen Traum. Smiths zwei Seiten – zum einen der dominante und unnachgiebige Anwalt – andererseits fürsorglich und besorgt um das Wohl seiner Lieben – begeistern mich zunehmend.
Auch die erotischen Szenen kommen hier nicht zu kurz und sorgen für zusätzliches Knistern.
Bereits bekannte Charaktere der Reihe sind wieder einmal mit von der Partie und geben einem Einblick in ihr Leben.
Der Schreibstil ist gewohnt flüssig und einnehmend, mit einem gut durchdachten und authentischen Perspektivenwechsel.
„Royal Kiss“ - eine mitreißende Fortsetzung, der man ich einfach nicht entziehen kann.
Knisternd und packend. Zum Ende dominiert die Spannung einen Hauch zu viel über die Romantik und Liebe.
Ich vergebe 4 von 5 Sterne.

I haven't done any of my homework for today, I just rushed into the second book of the trilogy and now I want to start reading the 3rd book, ugh.
I liked that Smith told Belle he loved her first and that he wasn't afraid of falling in love, unlike Alexander. Man, that editor at Trend was such a bitch. Belle flew all the way across the Atlantic for the meeting.
The ending of this book really has me wondering what will happen. Will Smith get arrested for murder? Can they finally lock Hammond up once and for all?
It might be some more time till I start my homework LOL

I absolutely love the way that Geneva Lee crafts a story - the driving force of her texts is the relationship between the hero and heroine and the complications that arise due to their desire for one another and the outside forces who refuse to allow their connection to remain established.
In Covet Me, readers are privy to the fact that Smith is doing everything in his power to protect Belle from his association with Hammond, but while that is at the forefront of his plans, he can't help but yearn for her and his need to possess her in all possible ways is far stronger his desire than the command he's been given to let her go. But it's a delicate line Smith's walking - one that he cannot completely control, which threatens to push Smith further out of control, and with the outcome of Covet Me, the quest to bring Hammond down, protect Bella, and live his life free from being under anyone's command puts Smith further in limbo.
Bella has finally resolved to do the things that scare her…the ones that make her feel alive, and all of them center around Smith. With him, she is untamed and sensual; she gives herself fully over to Smith, and he guards her body with his life. But now that Bella feels like she’s being attacked from all sides of her life, it’s unclear where the next step should take her. Without Smith, she’s definitely unprotected - there’s no one who can protect her like he can, but it seems like he might not even be able to when those outside forces start closing in and the threats proceed to tear Smith and Bella apart - bit by bit.
Smith and Bella crave each other - their overwhelming feelings for one another drive them to make choices that there may not be any going back from, but readers will have to wait for Capture Me to see what the aftermath will be of those decisions.

Geneva Lee’s Royal Saga series is pure gold! I love love this series and I just can’t get enough. After being left off with wanting more from Crave Me, I craved book 2!
Smith is still as hot as sin. Belle is still his equal and fiercely strong and goes after what she wants. Smith needed to make some changes but in doing so has to push Belle away. I will say the way he went about doing this made me want to punch him in the nuts but since I knew it was for her protection.
I don’t want to spoil this book for anyone so I won’t go any further about what happens. But I will just say that the writing was great. The story progressed so smoothly and had a way of surprising me with a twist or two which I loved. As for the sex scenes, they were off the charts hot! What I love is that Geneva is on book 5 of this series and her sex scenes are still fresh and smokin’!
I’m complete addicted to this series and can’t get enough. I want it to be a TV series so I can watch every week and binge on it between seasons!

Even though there are a very few editing problems.
Bella & Smith are even more vividly drawn characters. The situation is connected in this book to the 1st 3 books in this saga. Things start coming to light.
I MUST GET BOOK #3! Which is book #6 in the Royals Saga.

Die Beziehung zwischen Belle und Smith ist ähnlich zu Clara und Alexander und doch ganz anders.
Ich hoffe es kommt bald mehr von Edward.

That ending! This book was not only sexy but so much more. The plot came out so well, I now understand much more about the murder incident on the wedding. All of them are connected to each other, and not only that, the person smith works for, the mysterious man was so unexpected. The last chapters just blown me away! So much action I was sitting on the edge of my seat. I'm excited what will happen next. Belle and Smit are my favorite pair of the whole serie. It was more than worth it!

In the second Smith and Belle book, the pair are together. Then they are separated. Then they are together. Then they are separated. Then they're married. Confused? So was I. Smith and Belle have one of the most confusing relationships I've ever read about. Smith, we have found out, is involved with a man, Hammond, who is pretty much the entire mafia party all rolled into one. Smith has been trying to extricate himself from Hammond for years, and for reasons that are unknown, Hammond holds many, many grudges against Smith, and wants him and anyone he is connected to, dead.
Along with a mystery person, Smith is determined to bring Hammond down once and for all, but at what cost?
Belle, for her part, has finally started getting her business, Bless, up and somewhat running. Making Clara's sister Lola a partner in the business, Bless is headed for greatness. Except that Belle's head isn't on business right now. Especially with Smith breaking up with her, and then coming after her at least once a week.
In between the break ups and make ups, there is the usual hopping in and out of bed, and Smith fearing for Belle's life.
I must admit, that I spent most of this book wondering what was going on, who was speaking (since there were places where it was not clear), and why did I still care about Belle and Smith.
The actual romantic aspect of the story was good, but this series is no where near as good as Clara and Alexander's story was. I also had a lot of issues with the lack of editing. There were words missing, wrong words used (i.e.:an instead of as, they're instead of their), and just a general feeling of whoever was the last to read this before it went to press only skimmed the story.
As usual, this ended on a cliffhanger, but at least the third (and hopefully final) book will be out sooner rather than later.

"I love you Smith Price" - Belle
And I agree with that statement wholeheartedly. I've fallen in love with this hero because this is much more than a story. This is a story about love, about trust, about family issues, about friendship. A story of facing your fears and standing up for what you believe in. A story of making your dreams come true and the struggles that we face on a daily basis. It doesn't surprise me that Geneva Lee tackles all these issues at once; what surprises me is the manner in which she does it. I was hooked, it was 1am and I couldn't get myself to bed because I just needed to know what else happened. What was smith going to do? What was going to be Belle's reaction to his actions? I was entrapped in the story, from page one until the last page and I can honestly say that I cannot wait for December to get here so that I can read the next book. This isn't your typical love story, I can't get into details without giving away spoilers and I hate doing that so I'll just say that this book is a MUST read for everyone. Honestly, I recommend this 100%. Everyone needs to pick this up right now!

Tjaaaa... was soll ich sagen? Dieses Buch macht mir das Bewerten echt schwer. Die Charaktere sind die selben, auch wenn Alexander und Clara wieder etwas mehr auftauchen, wenn auch nicht wirklich gemeinsam, aber man erfährt mehr über Smith und seine "Familie". Und das führt leider dazu, dass ich irgendwann keinen Überblick mehr über die Geschichte hatte. Vielleicht lag es daran, dass ich müde war, aber meiner Meinung nach kommt zu viel und zu viel undurchsichtiges zusammen. Ich werde das letzte Buch wohl irgendwann einmal lesen, alleine der Vollständigkeit halber, aber es reizt mich gerade nicht so wirklich...

Geneva Lee did it again!
and the Royal Saga continues with Belle and Smiths sequel "Covet me".
Can Smith turn and walk away from Belle for the cause of saving her?
Can Belle walk away from Smith?
Why Belle? Will Hammond ruin them all?
Geneva puts a spell on you from the first Chapter and it won't brake until December!
I didn't like the beginning as much as the rest of the book, but I got hooked all the same.
And I really like that we got small clues about things that happend in the first books in the Royal Saga.
4,5/5 Royal stars

Wow, for me this was such an improvement over book 1! There was still quite a bit of sex but i didn't feel like it overpowered the actual story this time...and the story line was really good! It was much more emotional and romantic... i actually felt and believed the bond between Belle and Smith... and the suspense was kicked up a notch making it a more exciting read! I'm definitely excited to see how things are going to unfold for everyone involved!

OMG, you have outdone yourself Geneva Lee with this book! Let me say I started off disliking Smith at the start of this book. By the end, you will fall back in love with him. It does have some major twist! This book far exceeded my expectations. I own every one of her books. This is one seems to be the very best!
Now, Why do I have to wait 2 months for the next book?

I absolutly loved it! It's great you still get to see bits of Edward, Clara and Alexander!
"This is about Belle getting off the plane with Smith Price"
Edward informed her. "What?" Lola exclaimed, squealing in excitement. "No! We aren't happy about this," Edward interjected, flopping against the back seat."We aren't?" she asked.
I absolutly love friendship like that!

« Convoite-moi » est le cinquième tome de la série « Royal Saga » et le second qui traite de l’histoire de Belle et Smith.
Nous les retrouvons donc juste après les évènements du premier tome. Smith sait que sa ‘mission’ expose Belle à des dangers mortels et cherche un moyen pour la protéger.
Cette dernière, de son côté, se lance enfin dans son grand projet de création d’entreprise : Bless. Elle ne travaille donc plus pour son petit-ami et se consacre à temps plein à sa boîte.. Quand elle n’est pas dans les bras de Smith.
Quel avenir leur est réservé ? Comment Smith va-t-il faire pour protéger sa belle ?
Le précédent tome m’avait un peu déçue. L’intrigue, en dehors de la romance, était arrivée sur le tard, mais elle était malgré tout prometteuse. Elle annonçait un futur sombre et j’étais donc impatiente de savoir ce qu’il en était.
Autant dire qu’une fois ce cinquième tome terminé, je suis encore vraiment mitigée.
Pour commencer par une note négative, j’ai directement retrouvé ce qui m’avait vraiment dérangé dans le tome précédent : les scènes de sexe à répétition. Dès les premiers chapitres, on est noyé sous ces instants sulfureux qui ne servent absolument pas à développer l’intrigue.
Alors que l’on veut des réponses et que l’on veut avancer dans l’histoire, on doit encore attendre que ces moments passent, avec beaucoup de patience.
Une fois cette étape de franchie, on entre dans le vif du sujet.
On voit ce que décide de faire Smith pour protéger Belle et j’avoue avoir été positivement surprise. A ce moment-là, l’histoire prend un tournant inattendu et redonne un peu de souffle à l’intrigue.
Malheureusement, je n’ai pas aimé l’évolution de leur relation. J’ai trouvé qu’ils réussissaient trop facilement à trouver des solutions, à se pardonner, à surmonter les épreuves qu’ils ont traversées et les futures qui vont arriver.
Ils passent de ‘rien’ à ‘tout’ et cela dénote trop par rapport à l’intrigue et à leurs problèmes qui, eux, se veulent sombres.
Quant à l’intrigue en elle-même, elle avance.
Nous savons enfin ce que veut faire Smith, avec qui il est allié et c’est d’ailleurs une révélation plutôt surprenante. Je l’avais douté, mais je ne m’y attendais pas vraiment non plus.
On rencontre aussi de nouveaux personnages qui sortent tout droit du passé trouble de Smith, enlevant un peu de mystère sur le vécu de Smith.
Enfin, les derniers chapitres sont plutôt intenses.
Beaucoup de péripéties arrivent et des personnages sont proches de la mort.
Ce changement de rythme donne un nouveau souffle à l’histoire, me donnant envie de me plonger dans le dernier tome de cette saga, même si je suis au final pas si convaincue que cela par le récit en général.
En conclusion, le tome 5 de « Royal Saga », « Convoite-moi », est un peu en dents-de-scie. Geneva LEE alterne les passages lents et les instants plus rythmés, mais n’arrive pas à trouver le juste équilibre entre les deux pour nous tenir en haleine. Du coup, toute la partie romance devient lourde et peu captivante puisque les moments se focalisant sur les problèmes de Smith sont trop peu nombreux pour nous satisfaire.
Heureusement, les derniers chapitres relèvent un peu le niveau et donnent envie de connaître le fin mot de l’histoire.

Nous les retrouvons donc juste après les évènements du premier tome. Smith sait que sa ‘mission’ expose Belle à des dangers mortels et cherche un moyen pour la protéger.
Cette dernière, de son côté, se lance enfin dans son grand projet de création d’entreprise : Bless. Elle ne travaille donc plus pour son petit-ami et se consacre à temps plein à sa boîte.. Quand elle n’est pas dans les bras de Smith.
Quel avenir leur est réservé ? Comment Smith va-t-il faire pour protéger sa belle ?
Le précédent tome m’avait un peu déçue. L’intrigue, en dehors de la romance, était arrivée sur le tard, mais elle était malgré tout prometteuse. Elle annonçait un futur sombre et j’étais donc impatiente de savoir ce qu’il en était.
Autant dire qu’une fois ce cinquième tome terminé, je suis encore vraiment mitigée.
Pour commencer par une note négative, j’ai directement retrouvé ce qui m’avait vraiment dérangé dans le tome précédent : les scènes de sexe à répétition. Dès les premiers chapitres, on est noyé sous ces instants sulfureux qui ne servent absolument pas à développer l’intrigue.
Alors que l’on veut des réponses et que l’on veut avancer dans l’histoire, on doit encore attendre que ces moments passent, avec beaucoup de patience.
Une fois cette étape de franchie, on entre dans le vif du sujet.
On voit ce que décide de faire Smith pour protéger Belle et j’avoue avoir été positivement surprise. A ce moment-là, l’histoire prend un tournant inattendu et redonne un peu de souffle à l’intrigue.
Malheureusement, je n’ai pas aimé l’évolution de leur relation. J’ai trouvé qu’ils réussissaient trop facilement à trouver des solutions, à se pardonner, à surmonter les épreuves qu’ils ont traversées et les futures qui vont arriver.
Ils passent de ‘rien’ à ‘tout’ et cela dénote trop par rapport à l’intrigue et à leurs problèmes qui, eux, se veulent sombres.
Quant à l’intrigue en elle-même, elle avance.
Nous savons enfin ce que veut faire Smith, avec qui il est allié et c’est d’ailleurs une révélation plutôt surprenante. Je l’avais douté, mais je ne m’y attendais pas vraiment non plus.
On rencontre aussi de nouveaux personnages qui sortent tout droit du passé trouble de Smith, enlevant un peu de mystère sur le vécu de Smith.
Enfin, les derniers chapitres sont plutôt intenses.
Beaucoup de péripéties arrivent et des personnages sont proches de la mort.
