Brooke Sivendra does it again! Another great book that I can not put down, and cliffhanger that leaves me wanting more.

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Serpenti, and it did not disappoint. Ms B knows how to write action, and I had a lot difficulty putting the book down once it kicked in. Loads of drama and twists. Leaner on the romance than the first book, but still plenty of sweet and steamy moments between Asher and Abi. I was crushing on Reed by the mid-point and can't wait to read more of him in book three. Recommend for romantic suspense readers and definitely for James Thomas fans ;)

Who is trying to bring down Santina and her King, someone killed Ashers father and brother and almost the Queen, but they’re not finished with the Royal family yet. Who can Asher trust, is it someone close to him that wants his Kingdom to fall, or someone who can gain a lot more if Santina falls and leaves it ripe for a takeover. Asher needs a lot more security than he has, so his just hired the best Security team in the world, Thomas Security. And the story just got twice as better.
I love that Brooke has combined JT into this epic story.
Asher and Abi are brilliant, love them. Fast paced, Action a plenty, intriguing and suspenseful.
A very excellent read for all, it has it all. highly recommended.

Sepenti is the second book in The Royals Series by Brooke Sivendra. It continues Abi Bennett and King Asher’s attempts to save Santina. It’s truly an edge of your seat ride. To Brooke’s fans a wonderful surprise that the Thomas Brothers are helping King Asher protect Abi and the Queen Mother as well as find out who is determined to see him fail.
Brooke’s characters are so real. Even as King, Asher is someone we all want to know. A i is self-reliant and brave. I’m hoping that Brooke has a head start on the next book in this series. Waiting is hard.

The series continues with this great read that follows straight on from the end of the first book.
Asher's character develops more in this book, when he becomes king after his father's murder.
Anyone who is a Brooke Sivendra fan will love the addition of Thomas Security in this story. Brooke has manage to merge the two series effortlessly. The usual characters of James, Deacon and Samuel are there, and we have a new addition of Reed, who I imagine will come into his own in the next book.
The enemies of Santini are circling, the suspects are many. The twists and turns of the plot(s), keep you guessing.
Allow yourself plenty of time to read this as you will not want to put it down.
I look forward to the next book.

Sepenti by Brooke Sivendra is the second book in The Royals Series and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It is an enthralling read where there is murder and mayhem, kidnapping and lies, secrets and fear, love and loyalty but the trust is severely lacking. It is a great read and Brooke does what she does best and gives us a wild ride whilst you are on the edge of your seat devouring each and every word. I actually loved it so much I have read it twice. Whilst these are relatively new characters we see characters from the Thomas series come into play which sets this story on another level.
King Asher still doesn’t know who his enemies are and all he wants is to save his country and his people but who can he trust? He knows one thing and that is he needs Abi Bennett by his side and to catch an enemy her life will be in even more danger.
I look forward to reading the next book. Having it now would be good Brooke.

Wow....once again Ms Sivendra does it again! What a book. I absolutely loved it. This book picks up where the last book ends so you’re thrown right back into the action and drama once again. The plots in this book will keep you guessing from the first page to the last. This is action packed and whilst you’re reeling from everything we get a wonderful addition of the JT bunch. Yay! Any Fans of hers will absolutely love this new development. I certainly did. Hmmm...Reed. What can I say can’t wait to see more from him too. Fabulous book. Once I started I couldn’t stop. Cannot wait for the next book now.

After reading book one of the Royals series, I found this book easier to read, having now been familiar with the characters in the story. It continues on where book one left off. Prince Asher, now King Asher after his father King Martin was murdered, finds himself reluctantly in his new role of leading his country. Abi is rescued and back by his side and security in the palace is stepped up with the aid of Thomas Security.
Who is targeting the Royal family and Abi, who is the traitor and can the situations possibly get any worse?
Fast paced, well written. I only noticed one continuity error regarding removal of a bra...
Looking forward to reading the final book of this trilogy.

SPELLBINDING! Brooke promoted to my "Top Shelf" writer. Absolutely fabulous - had all elements of surprise, mystery, suspense and intrigue. Melding of JT Security into story line flowed smoothly. This did not detract from King Asher and Abi's story. Moved along nicely, like well oiled machinery, running smoothly. Introduction of Reid a valuable addition, one which may well result in future happiness for himself with Rachel. Congratulations Brooke, so tastefully mastered.
I received an advance copy of this book as an ARC and I volunteered this review.

Brooke Sivendra writes fast paced romantic thrillers like a master and book 2 of this series is one of her best! King Asher and Abi combined with James Thomas and crew are a win-win combination!
I don’t have adequate words to describe how much I enjoyed this book! My best recommendation is to GRAB it now and jump into their world! You won’t be disappointed, not if you love brilliant writing, nail biting suspense and an amazing love story!

SERPENTI...
The Royals book 2. Simply Amazing!! Brilliantly written. No spoilers from me. Abi and Asher reunite after Abi's kidnapping and Asher's family tragedy. OMG OMG OMG the heartbreak, the drama, the scintillating mystery of it all. Now enter James Thomas, Deacon and the crew. The book, story and situation just got kicked up to a thousand percent of OH HELL YEAH!!! If you don't know you better ask somebody! You will never see it coming. I laughed, cried, tossed my kindle and cussed out everybody in the book. I loved every minute of it. Brooke Sivendra you are my shero.

Serpenti is the second book in Brooke Sivendra’s Royals series. The book is filled to the brim with action, suspense and romance. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of reading the book and it kept me guessing until the very end. The book was another one of Brooke’s books that I didn’t want to put down. I highly recommend it and am quite eager to read the next book, in the mean time I will be rereading both books. I was provided an ARC for an honest review.

Brooke has again managed to bring me to the edge of my seat again. Abi and Asher continue into intrigue, a new love, a family torn apart with suspicion and trying to save their country. Bringing some of the players from her JT series was a pleasant surprise. As if we aren’t getting enough suspense with Asher and Abi. Buckle up and get ready for another exciting ride. All hell is about to break out in Santina!!!
I was given an ARC, and I am freely sharing my opinion in this review.

This was such a fast moving book with twists and turns everywhere. The characters are so real you feel an instant connection. I am loving this series. So happy to see JT make an appearance. And did not anticipate the ending! Book 3 can't wait for you

Another must read by Brooke loved every word !!!
December 24, 2019
Brooke Sivendra you did it again! Love the way characters from your previous series show up so appropriately in this second Royals book. Was happily devouring this book, but so sad when I finished the last line. How long do we have to wait for the next book in this series? I guess I'll have to be content to re-read all the other books Brooke has written to get my fix.
December 27, 2019
What a WILD RIDE!!!
Never have I ever truly been on the she of my seat like I am when I read this author, and book two of this series pushed me off the edge!
Once again I was swept away to another time and place that captured my attention and figuratively held me hostage from the very beginning. You get to see old characters that you fell

Another exercise in binge reading. Good!
Liked the action and the characters,and the blending with Thomas Security
Brooke has a unique way of keeping us enthralled deep into the plot and now she is making me wish book #3 would cause the release date to be earlier than the projected April
Thanks Brooke,write fast please
