Atelonia has become my home. The Rexium princes have become my family, and Valentina and Rebecca my best friends.
I absolutely loved the first book, and this one is no exception. The tension, the banter, the story of their past and the way their present unfolds—it all had me completely invested.
All for the Power is simply lovely. Carter completely stole my heart.
And now I can’t wait for the book of my favorite Rexium prince, Archie. ❤️🩹👑
Another perfect book! I had the best and the most tortured time with this one, torture because Sophia said this is a slow burn and it’s gonna be slow! The tension between those two was very intense! That very first kiss I screamed! 😍😮💨 Carter and Rebecca have my whole heart! ♥️ their relationship is everything I love in a romance! I can’t wait for everyone to read this book!
Sophia please never stop writing! You’re amazing!!! 🫶🏻
ARC REVIEW, MANY THANKS TO THE AUTHOR FOR THIS ADVANCED COPY
What, in the name of everything sacred, was THAT?! 😭 This book promises so much, and somehow delivers on every single chapter.
I always feel like picking up the next book in a series is a gamble. It could be just as good as the first, it could fail to live up to the expectations, or, as was the case here, it could somehow surpass its predecessor, which honestly felt almost impossible considering how incredible the first book was.
I genuinely can’t stop thinking about so many moments in this story. They were simply delicious. The way Sophia writes emotions and sensations is so vivid and immersive that she had me hooked from the very first chapter, and I only became more invested with every page.
I also loved how thoughtfully the romance was built. The obstacles between the characters felt realistic, believable, and completely consistent with who they are, which made every emotional payoff feel earned rather than forced.
Carter and Rebecca completely stole my heart. They’re the kind of characters who feel deeply human, flawed, vulnerable, and wonderfully raw. It’s impossible not to empathize with both of them and desperately want each of them to achieve what they’re fighting for, despite everything standing in their way.
Sophia Bazar has officially become one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. Every book reminds me just how beautifully she writes, and I honestly can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.
This was my first Sophia Bazar book, and OH MY GOD, I was hooked from page one. I'm lucky enough to have been introduced to the Atelonian Princes through Sophia herself (I'm her beta reader), and I can't tell you how much I've been GUSHING over Carter and Becks in Sophia's DM's.
All For The Power dives back into Atelonia (I desperately wish Atelonia was real), this time from the perspective of the second-born brother - Carter. Carter is literally everything you'd ever want in an MMC. He's broody, grumpy, but possessive and soooo down bad for his girl, who, speaking of, is his ex-childhood best friend. I KNOW, RIGHT?! Rebecca, said ex-childhood best friend, is a total boss babe. I'm obsessed with her. We follow Becks and Carter as they're reunited in Atelonia, fighting over properties that both wish to claim back under their titles - Carter, for the crown, and Beck, for MaxInc., her father's company.
These two together are such a power couple. Carter is one of those guys that's so grumpy but soft for his girl, and I adore that dynamic, especially because Rebecca is equally as grumpy. The two are endlessly bickering, fighting, and reliving the mistakes of their childhood, and the SLOW BURN? UGH.
It's now been MONTHS, and I can't stop thinking about them. They've invaded every sense, all of my thoughts, and honestly? Might've taken the spot on my list of best slowburn couple (which is NOT easy to do).
One of the most incredible parts of being Sophia's beta for this book was her world-building and imagery. I swear, I was right there with all of the characters. I could visualize it so beautifully, but it wasn't to the point of being exhaustively detail-oriented. It was the perfect amount of world-building, vivid imagery, and imagination all combined to create a beautiful country that I desperately wish I could add to my bucket-list destinations.
Overall, 5/5⭐. I can't get enough of these two, and I definitely will be reading all of Sophia's other books. I can't lie - I've just finished the first book, and ugh... I'll never get over it!
arc review❤️🔥 Thank you Soph for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this AMAZING book! What a ride!!! I knew that in Becca and Carter’s book we were going to get angst, yearning and the deepest of feelings but I swear to you I was not prepared for ANY OF IT.
Carter Alexander Rexium A MAN WHO TRULY YEARNS!! He’s the epitome of a tortured poet lover boy. He’s loved her his entire life and forever will. I don’t think I can put into words how painful it is to me that a man like this doesn’t exist, or how badly his words affected me. He. Was. Perfect.
Now Becca… my sweet loving girl<3 I loved her so so much. One thing about Rebecca is that she’s loyal to a fault and she’s not gonna be embarrassed to say shit to your face. I feel like she’s going to be miss-understood by some people, but girl whatever you’ll never get her like I did, she did what she could with what she had and as an older sister myself I get her.
Their dynamic and chemistry was perfectly portrayed. They’re the definition of soulmates and I’ll fight whoever says otherwise.
Sophia once again you amaze me. What the fuck is wrong with you and your amazing writing skills that you had me crying every few pages of this!!!!! You’re the QUEEN of slow burn I’ll forever say it.
OMFG… I devoured this in TWO days. Literally could not put it down.
The tension, the slow burn, the family secrets… everything had me completely on edge the entire time.
And the chemistry between Carter and Rebecca? You can feel it in every single interaction. I absolutely loved getting to see such a vulnerable side of Carter, it made me love his character even more.
This is a beautifully done friends to enemies to lovers story, where you slowly unravel an inevitable love story that started when they were kids, while uncovering all the secrets that tore them apart and kept them hating each other for over ten years.
Watching them slowly piece together the truth, understanding why they were separated in the first place, and seeing all those walls begin to crumble… I was hooked.
And now I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to wait an entire YEAR for the next book because I desperately need more.
