We finally get the mystery solved!
The end is here, and all the secrets, truths and plots come to light.
I might have been wrong about who was the ultimate villain and why the different Roman's were popping up. I really should have seen it coming with the way things were going in the last three books.
I really hated the sister (I know some will disagree) but I feel like her reasons for visiting and helping a certain someone was not convincing, and I didn't trust her. She put her sister-in-law of 5 years aside and devoted her time to comfort someone else that was there to ruin so much and someone she was known to dislike?
There are a few people who get their final judgment, and we also find out something that to me came out of nowhere?? Sir Avery related - it seemed like it was placed there just for a plot twist and there is nothing to truly back it up especially with what we find out about Noah throughout the books. Idk maybe I am wrong.
I'm glad our MMC's got their happy ending and despite the secrets being revealed they still have something just in case things do go wrong for them.
This series was fantastic; if you haven't started it yet, it's time to begin your binge-reading.
Aleatha Romig did a fantastic job crafting a world of Royalty that readers can get lost in. I loved feeling as if we were behind the scenes watching everything go down as it all unfolded and all questions I've had from the previous books were answered.
The conclusion to Roman and Lucille's story has come and it was nice to finally get all the answers to the endless questions that this series had caused to us throughout the three previous books!!! In here, we got a different look to the royalty life from the inside and we realized how ruthless and lonely this life can be... Lucille had suffered so much in the hands of her prince husband, and then her Roman came along and everything changed for her and for the whole nation of Molavia... Hope started to bloom, but the betrayals and the threats were surrounding them in every corner. Can together do the impossible???
"You're the best part of my life."
I don't know what to say about this book, since I don't want to spoil you... This story was well-written, very suspensful with so many twists that were making your mind spinning... It was impossible to guess who was innocent and who was guilty in this twisted game of power... The truth is that I was expecting something more bad and dreadful to had happened in the past, but I am happy that certain people weren't so much ruthless as i was thinking before... Overall, it was a well executed story full of political games and games of hearts...
"Everyone is lying to one another."
And in the middle of all this chaos were standing Lucille and Roman... Two people that they weren't supposed to fall in love, but they did and everything changed in their lives... They had to follow the rules, but behind closed doors, they joined forces and their hearts were beating for each other... And now, they are sitting in a crossroad... Will they continue this charade or will they fly away from a ruthless enviroment that can swallow them whole???
"Where you are is where I want to be."
Yes, this was a very good story!!! Unexpectendly so... I liked the changes in Lucille from the first book to the last one... She got a backbone and her determination was remarkable... But my most favorite character in here was Roman... He was thrown into a position that he was clueless about and he became his best version... I liked the ties that he created with Lucille, the King and the Queen... He was a true prince and it was showing and his reward was a beautiful and loyal wife that wouls always stand by his side!!! If you are charmed by royal romances, this is a must read!!!
"Royal reflections, sir. See yourself that way and others will too."
**I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review**
Just when you think the Royal Reflections story can't possibly get any better, along comes Book 4, Relevant Reign, and proves you wrong! This final book has all the delicious, delectable twists and turns, questions, answers and surprises that we've come to expect from this incredibly talented author.
I took my time reading this one. Like a fine wine, I savored it slowly, only allowing myself 4-5 chapters a day which was pure torture at times, but so well worth it when I came to the end. I love reading Aleatha Romig's books several chapters each day. Her stories are so rich, her characters so captivating, her writing so beautiful, I just do not want to rush through it all to get to the end!
Reading slowly affords me the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the world she has created, to ponder on her story and to feel like one with the characters and their feelings. There's plenty in this series to ruminate over! The love Lucille and Roman share in this story is tender, passionate, all-consuming and truly beautiful. I may have shed a tear or two when I finished reading realizing that these two would now be gone from my world! I will miss them and this amazing royal world that Aleatha Romig has created.
The romance, the suspense, the twists, the turns, the jaw-dropping truths were abundant and thrilling throughout this story! Relevant Reign is a phenomenal end to a series which offers a fascinating look inside a royal realm where all is not what it appears to be. I loved it from beginning to end. It will keep you spellbound and turning the pages until the last word! Do not miss it!
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Relevant Reign, book 4 in the Royal Reflections series brings us to the end of a story filled with political intrigue, secrets, deceit and betrayals.
A fitting end to the series, Relevant Reign, met my expectations. It provided the answers to the questions raised throughout the series. It delivered shocking revelations which kept me on my toes. The hunger for power and the lengths taken to achieve the same was the focus of the series. Readers gain a clearer understanding of the reason for Oliver’s placement in the royal family. One also sees how seamlessly he adapted to the world and situation he was placed in. Placed on the biggest stage of his and he proved himself worthy.
Lucille continues to prove why she deserves to be the princess of Molave. Her enemies made the mistake of underestimating her. Oh, man! I loved how she showed them she was no walkover while displaying empathy for their situation.
There is not much that can be said about this installment without giving away spoilers. I will say this though, Romig created a world which pulls readers in and characters which one can either like or dislike. A suspenseful tale filled with many twists that readers are likely to get whiplash. Figuring out was telling the truth boggled my mind. Then there was that revelation regarding the princess from Borinkia and her brother. Damn! The lengths one will go through to gain power.
Overall, the Royal Reflection series delivered an intriguing tale. A tale featuring a mashup of romance, suspense, political drama and mystery. Fans of romantic stories served with a side of suspense will want to add the series to their summer reading list. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
In true Aleatha form Relevant Reign start right where she left off. Prince Roman finds out that the mistress Princess Inessa Volkov he was keeping is pregnant... right when all is going well with Lucille. What will he tell Princess Lucille?
All the players have their secrets and will Prince Roman and Princess Lucille be able to uncover each of them before time runs out. Prince Roman is getting closer to the prisoner Noah, Roman is feeling kindship towards him, while his sister Dutchess Isabella husband the Duke Francis is getting better and better. Can Roman trust the Duke Francis or Princess Inessa Volkov?
Does Molave survive? Does the monarchy? Do Roman and Lucille get their happily ever after? So many questions, but in her usual style, Aleatha answers them with so many twists and turns while taking you on a journey. Love this series.
OMG, OMG, OMG!! So no spoilers here but there are a lot of things revealed, more twists, and jaw-dropping moments with this conclusion. I even cried more than I have while reading an Aleatha Romig romantic suspense series. Once I sat down with this book I devoured it in one day. All I will say is that I hope we get to revisit Molave in the future.
Oh Wow! What a great end to a riveting series. I am never disappointed with this author. The way she creates her characters are well developed and profound. Right from the start of the series, the plot was really interesting and full of twists. Roman and Lucille's characters are too interesting to not want more to read. Doesn't drag for a single moment. Like the first 3 books of this series, Relevant Reign moved along well and held my interest. It managed to answer all my doubts, and questions, and what a superb warm-hearted ending.
A great series indeed that quickly draws you in. If you like a mystery, suspense, or romance with twitches all along the storyline, put this on your must-read list.
I can’t believe this series is over! I have been anxiously awaiting finding out how everything was going to play out for Roman and Lucille. I’ve also been thoroughly interested in discovering more about the current King and Queen of Molave and if they were as conniving as they were perceived in earlier books! So many of my questions were answered in this book and they were answered in a way I could not stop reading to find out the next new part! There are characters you can’t help but dislike in this story, characters that you thought couldn’t be redeemed but maybe gained a little bit of forgiveness back, and characters that really blossomed into who they could be. I especially loved the character development of Lucille throughout this series, and her Roman. She really showed her strength and her ability to become the next Queen. Roman showed he could be a good King and a good husband. We learned so much more about the other royal family members too and I loved that part!
Overall, Relevant Reign was such a great ending to this story. I have been a big fan of this series from book one and I am so glad we really got to see the full circle of these characters and this story realized. There is suspense, intrigue, love, and collusion. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and was a fast read for me because I needed to know what would happen next! I hope that one day in the future we may get to read about the next generation of Molave royalty but for now, I am happy with how this story played out!
I was eager to start the read as soon as it landed on my kindle as I would finally find all the answers. Once again, I was spellbound and lost myself in the read. I finished it in a single sitting as I could not stop turning pages.
The love between Lucille and Roman tugged at my heart strings. It's that kind you crave no matter how many hardships you have to endure. I was in awe with them and was rooting for there happiness. When the truth was revealed I was left speechless.
This read gave me heart palptations with all the mysteries being revealed and made me anxious with every page. As I am emotionally invested in the series it is hard for me to let it go.
I tried to savour every single page as I loved this world Aleatha has created which left me mesmerized. I went through plethora of emotions and could not control my tears at several instances. I cannot wait for what's to come next by Aleatha.
Thanks to Aleatha and Wildfiremarketing for the advanced copy of this mind-blowing read.
As I delved between the pages of “Relevant Reign,” my anticipation and excitement over the conclusion to this suspenseful royal saga rang quite bittersweet. Spanning the course of this series, I had my share of theories, but it was the how and why of things that had yet to be explained. At long last, all the puzzle pieces were finally falling into place, and yet I dreaded the placement of the ultimate piece; for that would mean that Roman and Lucille had finally reached their HEA, and the Royal Reflections series would now come to a resounding end. The final resolution was, at once, all I could have wanted while leaving me craving so much more. Alas, I bid a tearful farewell to Roman and Lucille. Their scorching romance has been four books in the making, and I will miss this royal couple dearly.
Relevant Reign: Forbidden Royal Romance (Royal Reflections Book 4) by Aleatha Romig is the conclusion of a fabulous series. We know both Lucille and Inessa are pregnant. Roman and Lucille are still trying to piece together who is who and what is what. Also, in this story, we get more back story by the way of flashbacks in time regarding King Theo and Queen Anne. Boy, did I underestimate her. What I had expected before has been substantiated by the end, and I was given the full story. Seeing the continuing blossoming of Roman and Lucille's love was everything. But the real cat's meow was the revelation of all the players, how deep the deception went, and how far the rabbit hole it all went. I couldn't have guessed a lot of what was revealed. All I know was I couldn't put this book down, and I probably read it a lot faster than I wanted to. I couldn't wait to know all the secrets, but I wanted to savory every minute of this story. I can say I would love to read the entire series again in one continuous sitting, book 1 right through to book 4. Aleatha has truly outdid herself with this series. The end of Roman and Lucille's journey can only have one hope for other stories, not only surrounding them but other characters in the book. I don't want to give anything away regarding this story, but I would be remiss if I didn't say look out for a blast from the past. There is so much going on. This was just one thing after another. 5 fabulous stars for me.
Aleatha was really kind enough to send me the ARC of Relevant Reign! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the msg at 4am in the morning! I immediately gave my details and I sat down to read early in the morning!! I literally held my breathe while reading it! I was nervous as how it was going to end and how! As I was reading I could figure out few things and it's amazing how nicely the story has been written! It flowed very easily. I had no issue following through it! It was surreal. I finished the book in one sitting. It was a shocking end yet satisfactory!
Relevant Reign by Aleatha Romig is book 4 in the Royal Reflections Series. This continues the story of Lucille and Roman. So, you will need to read the previous books to fully enjoy this one. This has been an amazing story so it is well worth it to read the 4 books that document their story. This book wrapped up all the loose ends. Loved this series.
I had great expectations for this series and was not disappointed. Then again, it was written by Aleatha Romig so I had no doubts. Prince Roman and Princess Lucille found themselves with options for their future and remain loyal to Molave. Those who conspired against the crown were found and neutralized. A great royal series that all will enjoy.
Only Aleatha Romig can package up a suspenseful and twisty series into a beautiful Royal bow. The conclusion to Roman and Lucille’s story was enchanting. There are several twists and turns in Relevant Reign that keep you guessing as well as a few hidden surprises. 5 Royal ⭐️’s!! ~Kim💜
I have nothing bad to say about this series. I really enjoyed all of the books. You have to write another one to tells us what happens to the duke and the dutchess.
An amazing finish to this captivating series. All my questions were answered plus a surprising reveal that I did not expect. Loved most of the characters , not a fan of Inessa or Francis but I’m sure most people don’t like them. Roman and Lucille finally get their happy ending and I just loved how this series ended.
This is book 4 in the series, and the finale. It brings to a satisfying conclusion the story of Lucille and Roman. The final secrets are revealed. The reasons behind certain decisions is explained, and major decisions for the future are made.
We find out the story of Roman. We now understand who he is and his part in the past, present, and future of the Royals is laid out. Lucille shows her strength in this final book in the series. And the Queen, well, we find out she is the one who truly holds power and is stronger than I, myself, probably would have been.
I loved this one. I was a bit confused on the Noah storyline (the one he truly loved) but not in a bad way and not enough to detract from my enjoyment of this book.
Each character's story is full circle in this one. Answers are given to any lingering question as the author stayed true to her style. You will enjoy the conclusion to this storyline. This one was a page-turner and captured my attention and held my interest throughout the entire book. I highly recommend this one. If you one-click this, you will NOT be disappointed (but I do have to recommend you read this in order to fully appreciate this author's writing and this story).

Review:
I have been reading this series since book one and which book left me hanging with a tremendous cliffhanger, I’m glad this time it didn’t, but I’ll miss Roman, Lucille and the Molave universe Aleatha created.
We finally discover all the secrets hidden and the origins of Roman, Noah and the others. The explanation was plausible, but improbable. All the secrets will be unveiled little by little and everything will make sense.
As a whole, I enjoyed this series greatly, as well as the conclusion. This couple deserved their HEA. I cheered for them the whole time.
*** I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ***
Last book of the series and I didn't want it to end I could read an episode a day and I don't think it would ever be enough. I need to see Roman and Lucille become King and Queen. I need to watch future heirs grow and play. I'm just sad to see them go. ��� This last book unravels all the secrets but I'm still wondering if I few people were good or evil but I guess everyone has their grey areas. If you haven't started the series yet you need to because this is the Royal series that will keep you hooked to the very last word. I actually can't wait to go back and reread now that I know everything and see what clues I missed. This is the best Romance and Suspense book I've read in a long time. Great writing and story Ms. Romig I enjoyed the journey you took me on.
✨Review ✨ *** Relevant Reign was the perfect conclusion for this series. All the questions were finally answered and both characters got their HEA. I loved the growth in both Roman and Lucille. Their love, confidence, and bravery grew so much. The story was so well written. All our unanswered questions were slowly revealed. I loved that Roman got a family in this story too. His ending was bittersweet but he was finally where he belonged. This was definitely an addictive series. The writing was so well done and the ending was beautiful. *** Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance:🩷🩷🩷🩷 Spice:🔥 *** Thank you to Aleatha Romig and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the ARC to review. ***
And so we finally peel back the many layers of mystery, deception, and betrayal to find the heart of the plotting that has filled the pages of this series. And what a fast moving thrilling finale it is! At its heart we have two beautiful people, who were truly meant to be together, while the machinations that surround them unravel and are revealed. There is reward for some, just deserts for others and growth and sacrifice for one. Moving quickly this book carries you along on its incoming tide, until it delivers you, safely, to its shore. It's been one heck of a ride and I am very happy to say that I have enjoyed every minute. Aleatha Romig yet again proves that she is a storyteller extraordinaire. Wonderful 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
This book gives the reader much more information into the background of the characters and the events from the previous books. The surprises and plot twists never stop coming even down to the last few pages. I found it a well thought out tale that didn't rely on just sex as many Royal stories do. These characters have depth to them, including the King and Queen. Some of the minor characters aren't as fleshed out but it doesn't detract from the story. I'm still amazed by how many surprises Ms Romig was able to get into each book and how many times I was totally wrong in my guessing about everyone and everything! Kudos for a great story!
This was really such an astonishingly good series. Complex characters, intense emotions, juicy drama, taut tension, a well-developed world, sultry steam, and jaw on the floor twists create a powerfully potent and fiercely addicting series of reads that sneak into your heart, linger in your mind and steal your breath. Sad it is over but boy it did not disappoint! I am electing to post a candid review.
The last book in this series has all the twists, turns and intrigue you expect from an Aleatha Romig story.Both Lucille and Roman have settled into their roles. As Lucille and Roman work to balance the monarchy while spies abound, their love grows and they work seamlessly together. Truths, deceptions and drama all unfold. I hope we get a glimpse of these characters in the future. This series is amazing.
Oh the twists and turns keep coming! This final book in the Royal Reflections series wrapped things up nicely. So many secrets were revealed, plans discovered, a future planned, and of course a happily ever after.
Aleatha has this way of telling a story that is just thought provoking. I found myself wondering what would happen next, how this storyline was going to play out, who was behind it all, and so much more. I love suspense stories that keep my mind engaged, but also entertained.
Wow! What an incredible, amazing, intense story. Roman and Lucille have fallen in love, yet still have so many obstacles in their path that they are still trying to overcome, even though they are both promising to make it happen for each other. There are outside influences that are still trying to get in their way. This story will open your eyes to so much, very little not coming to light, quite the tell all, very informative. Loved it❤️
