Pretty great epilogue to each of the stories!







For those who love the HEA, this is a really nice epilogue to each of the five romances contained in the Royal Elite Series. The stories in this book go back and forth in time a bit, some to places we have seen in other books and mostly for the simple fact that this book is showing the proposals, weddings, honeymoons, etc… for each of the couples. They obviously didn’t have a large joint wedding and some of them have these milestones in their lives at different ages and times than others.

I liked how Rina did the slight recap of each romance for those of us whose memories aren’t what they used to be. There were also some steamy scenes mixed in so as not to disappoint the fans since that is what we come to expect from a Rina Kent book. It also showed the possessiveness and somewhat over the top alpha maleness of these five men that we have come to expect and like.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I enjoyed the entire thing.

I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

okayyyy i've dived into this series, and before i spill the tea in my review, let me just say a couple of things. first off, this is just my take on it, so don’t come for me, okay? second, if you're all about aiden and levi, you might want to just breeze past this review.

⊹♟️ tropes

⤿ high school
⤿ bully romance
⤿ enemies to lovers
⤿ childhood friends to lovers
⤿ found family
⤿ possessive mmcs
⤿ mental health
TW: bullying, sexual assault, toxic relationship, death of a parent, panic attack/disorders, emotional abuse, stalking, sexual violence, mental illness, body shaming, child abuse, sexual assault on a minor, violence, rape, fat phobia, physical abuse, mental destruction, domestic abuse, eating disorder, death, grief, chronic illness, fire/fire injury, detailed torture, kidnapping, self harm, attempted suicide, suicide.

the epilogue had its moments, but honestly, i can't say i was a fan of this series overall. it's riddled with flaws, and let’s be real, the guys are basically clones of each other. still, i have to admit there were a couple of things i found enjoyable, even with all the messiness.

𖣠 levi king + astrid clifford

i totally messed up by having high hopes for this couple. levi king is just a dull, wannabe punk who clearly doesn’t grasp the concept of “no.” he takes astrid’s virginity with a condom, but then decides to go bare the second time, ignoring her protests and even threatening her about the pill. isn’t he just the epitome of romance? meanwhile, astrid is such a doormat, and her body is practically buzzing all the time. ugh, i could scream after slogging through this book.

౨ৎ ⋮ "Astrid once told me I'm a dark night. It's in dark nights that stars like her shine the brightest."


𖣠 aiden king + elsa quinn/steel

ever get that creepy-crawly feeling on your skin out of nowhere? yeah, that hit me like a ton of bricks while i was diving into this couple's drama. you wanna know why? buckle up, because i’m about to save you from the agony. check this out:

TW: sexual assault.

I cry out, my heart shrivels into a black hole. “A-Aiden, what are you doing?”
“For the last time, it’s King.” His face is completely blank except for the slight smirk. “You said you’ll report me for sexual harassment.”
“W-what… ?”
“It’s your lucky day. I’m making the report come true.”
“You… can’t be serious?” My voice cracks.
“Have I ever joked with you, Frozen?”
I struggle against him, my heartbeat increases with every second that I can’t budge away. “Aiden! Stop it.”


isn’t he just a total dreamboat? there were plenty of moments where he just steamrolled over her. but hey, i won’t ramble on too much because this couple left me utterly speechless—in the worst way, obviously.

౨ৎ ⋮ Devils can't be redeemed. Devils can only crash and burn. He said he'll destroy me, and he did. It's time to destroy him back."


𖣠 xander knight + kimberly reed

just to reiterate my thoughts on black knight, let me say it again: KIMBERLY IS SIMPLY TOO FABULOUS FOR THIS NONSENSE. and don’t even get me started on xander — what a terrible character for the way he treated her. and that plot twist? ugh, it had me pulling my hair out in frustration.

౨ৎ ⋮ I might be broken, but I'll pull myself together. I might have fallen, but I'll get up. There'll be a day where I look behind and say I survived.


𖣠 ronan astor + teal van doren

it's pretty clear that ronan and teal totally delivered on my expectations. i mean, come on, i adore ronan, and my heart just aches for all the stuff he's been through. but let's not forget teal —she's a gem too. honestly, these two are like cosmic soulmates destined to be together in every single universe. i'm obsessed with them.

౨ৎ ⋮ He doesn't know that death isn't a title. Death is the beginning of every war, and I've already started mine.


𖣠 cole nash + silver queens

this is the absolute pinnacle of the series, darling. say it loud and proud: THE BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES. cole is totally my fav main man in this series. wanna know why? he’s a total bookworm. YAS. he keeps all his firsts just for silver. YAS. he’s reading her steamy novels while she’s catching Z’s. YAS. he remembers every little detail about her. YAS. he calls her butterfly and even got her a butterfly necklace. YAS YAS YAS. they say the quiet ones are the wildest. YAS, cole is everything but innocent. on the flip side, silver's character was kind of a vibe, but let's be real, she didn't exactly bring the fireworks, did she?

౨ৎ ⋮ Cole thrives on games and he's been playing them for years. He likes to think everyone is a piece on his chessboard and he can control their fate.


the epilogue was absolutely precious, and those kids? total cuties. i'm itching to dive into their stories. but seriously, there was a ton of repetition in the book. creativity much, rina?

2/5

It was okay? Honestly, I didn’t even read it after finishing almost all the books in the series, because I lowkey just didn’t care about these characters’ epilogue. Some of these scenes were already in the previous books, but I mainly read it to see more of the main characters’ children, since the Legacy of Gods series made me want to know more about them. Anyway, here’s my ranking of the couples:

1. Ronan & Teal—my favorite couple, I just loved their dynamic
2. Astrid & Levi—only because they created Brandon
3. Kimberley & Xander—in third place solely because of Kim, I wish Xander well

In Hell

4. Elsa & Aiden—it’s still a mystery for me why they have three books, honestly didn’t like either of them
5. Silver & Cole—tried reading their book twice, but I just couldn’t get through it, I just hate Silver and the step-siblings trope

3 stars ★

the fact that i rated the epilogue book higher than most of the books in the series is actually so jokes LMFAO. but alot of the scenes were literally copy paste of one another. like im sorry, the sentence “And you’re mine. Always.” HAS BEEN USED FOR EVERY COUPLE LIKE WTF 💀💀

ꨄ levi and astrid ꨄ

🎀 “I miss you when I can’t breathe you. When I can’t hear your voice or touch you. I miss you when I think I have to leave you.” 🎀

i was literally more invested in them than some of the other couples in this book (aka aidenelsa and xanderkim) and I didn’t even read their book, which I lowkey regret but i’m not going back. the scene where they were kissing in the rain >>> SO FREAKING CUTEEEEE I SWOONED!! I love them 💌

ꨄ aiden and elsa ꨄ

💓 First, she engraved herself under my skin, then in my brain, and then into my heart. She made a cosy place for herself in there. Now, that damn thing only beats for her. 💓

I don’t usually like them but omg their proposal scene was so CUTEE 🙈 with the malteasers <33 they were adorable here I won’t even lie!! 💝

ꨄ xander and kim ꨄ

bye I checked and I don’t even have any quotes highlighted for them 😭 nothing will ever make me like xander im sorry.

ꨄ teal and ronan ꨄ

❤️‍🔥So whatever. I don’t care if it’s bungee jumping or literal jumping. I’d go anywhere with this man. Hell included.❤️‍🔥

meh. they were fine. I like them here more than their book

ꨄ silver and cole ꨄ

🧸 An invisible thread bound us together and there was no way in fuck anything could break it. 🧸

UM THEYRE SO INVISIBLE STRING CODED ?!?! forever my favs 🌸

But that’s the thing about Silver, not only is she my chaos, but she’s also my peace. The home I go back to every day.

im actually gonna miss them so much 🙁

ꨄ conclusion ꨄ

sorry this review is kinda all over the place but this book literally had like 10 povs so it’s hard to keep up HAHAHA. anyways, while this series kinda sucks ass, the ending was pretty perfect. and I enjoyed all the storylines and proposals and everything. also seeing all their kids was so sweet 🙈💐

ꨄ official ranking:

#1 silver and cole
#2 ronan and teal
#3 astrid and levi
#4 aiden and elsa
#5 xander and kim

“All of us have come a long way, but at moments like this, it feels like time can stop .Like we can be forever young .”



OMG!

That’s exactly what I needed .

I couldn’t wish for a better ending or new beginning 😏

Being again with the horsemen and their possessiveness is the best gift ever.

“He said I saved him once upon a time. What he doesn’t know is that he saved me , too.”



Reading it I just confirmed my theory:

They are like wine : they get even better with time.

“People merry theirs soulmates or those who complete them. I married the woman who gave meaning to my life. She’s not only my soulmate, my life wouldn’t have existed without her”



And seeing how much they accomplished and how they grow to be strong , caring and even more caveman than before really played a number on my sanity.

And those group chats were just perfect, funny and so them 😂

I missed Ronan’s jokes and his bond with Xander.

And yes , Aiden and Cole are the same psychopaths as always, never missing a chance to piss each other off . And they got even more possessive if that’s possible 😂.

“Yes, I’m selfish about that woman, and I have no plans to let her go. But I do plan to make her the queen of my life, the soul of my being , and the heart of my existence’



The book is divided in different phases of their lives , and each phase has a chapter for each horseman .

I’m not gonna spoiler anything but this book surely will bright your day , your week and even your month .

Get ready for a last ride on memory lane and don’t forget to buckle up !

“I’ll never get enough of the brightness she brings to my life. She’s the calm to my storm. The light to my darkness . And I don’t take any of that for granted.”



I gave it 6373763 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hope you’ll love it like I did.

a solid four stars, reflecting the four couples that captured my heartᯓᡣ𐭩

the journey through this series was a ride - two books were treasured gems, the rest i liked, and then there was one i would've happily watched it go up in flames.

1,5/5⭐️
To było NUUUUDNE, było jednocześnie krótkie i za długie. W ogóle niektóre te zaręczyny czy śluby były w epilogach poprzednich tomów. Same zaręczyny, śluby i informacja o dzieciach były do siebie tak podobne, a mieliśmy o wszystkich pięciu parach. No nuda okropna.
Te pół gwiazdki to za fragment czatu chłopaków, który był najlepszą częścią.
Ten epilog mógł być jakimś ich wspólnym wyjazdem, wakacjami, imprezą? Idk, żeby to jakąś fabułę miało.
No NUDAAAAA.

Este es un epílogo largo de todas las parejas de la serie.
Se divide en tres partes
Cuando se comprometieron
Se casaron
Y cuando tuvieron a sus hijos.

Me encantó por que fue un cierre para la serie.
Y las partes que más disfruté fue la de mis parejas favoritas Levi/ Astrid y Xander/kim y Ronan porque es mi personaje favorito.

Me encantaría que la autora hiciera una precuela de los papás de Ronan.

Whoever recommended me this series. I hope both sides of your pillows are cold for the rest of your life. Whoever has been gate keeping this series. I hope you choke on rice and slip in the shower.

The extra scenes of all the couples was so cute. I was living of all the crumbs Rina was giving us. Also watching the next generation was so adorable. Just for future reference, I’m shipping Aiden’s son Eli with Cole’s daughter Ava and if they don’t work out I will be FUMING.

This series has a special place in my heart forever and I definitely have to get more of Rina’s books!

I was honestly going to give this book just 1 star—until the ending. I’m giving it 3 stars solely because of how it wrapped up. I especially loved the parts about the kids, since we already know them as adults from the Legacy of God series. But aside from that, most of the book felt repetitive and didn’t add much new.

“People marry their soulmates or those who complete them. I married the women who gave meaning to my life”

ৎ⋆。‧📖‧ 3.75★

↬ XANDERRRRR, I love you, you'll will be my fav from all the men forever 🤞

↬ at first I didn't understand this book but when I finally did, IT WAS SO CUTE. Because you have 5 main topics: the proposal, the marriage, the honeymoon, the pregnancy and the group (my person fav). And then you get a pov from all of the couples. It was so comforting to read about all of them again.

“The four of us leave the kids with their fathers as we sit around for a drink. Astrid and Levi are still absent, so it's just Elsa, Kim, Silver, and me. Aiden has both Landon and Brandon on his lap. Eli refuses to join since he's a 'big boy'. Cecily holds on to her father as if her life depends on it. Little Ava keeps playing with Cole's tie and giggling whenever he tickles her. Remi is casually draped over Ronan's shoulder.”

The Royal Elite gang is back as we get a glimpse into each couple's proposals, marriages, honeymoons, pregnancies, and of course, some group shenanigans.

I loved catching up with these characters and seeing them as parents… ahhhhhhh. This epilogue was so cute, I laughed, cried, and grinned like an idiot. I truly enjoyed this, it was such a good end to their series, even though I’m sad now.🥹
 
Now that I’ve completed the series, this is my ranking of the four horsemen based on how much I loved their book🤭:
 
𝟏. Ronan & Teal ˋ°•*⁀➷ words can’t describe how much I loved them. Ronan and Teal had an amazing connection, chemistry, and love story. I shall hear no slander or debate about them. Their love was unmatched. ☺️💕💕
 
𝟐. Aiden & Elsa ˋ°•*⁀➷ Toxic👀 but so good they had a great connection, seeing Aiden finally meet someone that could truly unnerve him and get under skin was sooo good.🤭

𝟑. Kim & Xander ˋ°•*⁀➷ I loved Kimberly and Xander… this was a beautiful story about self-love and growth.😊 Kim deserves the world, which is why I was slightly disappointed in some of Xander’s actions. I still believe Xander should have groveled more🤨

𝟒. Levi & Astrid ˋ°•*⁀➷ Astrid was such a mood; her and Daniel were hilarious together, but her romance with Levi was so amusing. Toxicity definitely runs in the King family, but Levi also had a sweet side, which we loveeee.😆
 
𝟓. Silver & Cole ˋ°•*⁀➷ their dynamic was entertaining, and when they finally decided to be together, I was here for it. But I questioned their romantic connection at times, and I didn’t really connect with their story as much as the others. 🙂
 
This review got unexpectedly long, but I just want to finish it by saying… I’m not really a person who sticks to series. I’m more of a standalone type of reader, but I’m so glad I read this; it was truly a unique and very chaotic experience…😌🩷

1 star because I still can't stand her and her cult, but if you wanna get technical, adding and weighing the five couple this would be 3 a stars minus 1 for all the scenes that she repeated from the other books = 2 stars.

Now a short review about each couple because I'm bored, I have an exam for which I don't wanna study and if I have to transcribe one more class I'm gonna lose it so here we are...

1. LEVI + ASTRID. 4.5 stars.
They're my second fav couple and I hate that they always get paid dust because they're so cute?? they literally don't deserve to live in this oblivion. Considering all the chapters we got, from the proposal to the babies, I think the way their love was described was the most profound and beautiful like, Silver and Cole are my babies, but even I can admit that some of those moments where they thought about their love for each other was some deep shit. Also, I love that they had all those babies!!!

Only reason I didn't give them full 5 stars is because Rita made Astrid marry in fishnet stockings and sneackers?? A CRIME!!!! authors need to leave this behavior in 2015 cause it's not quirky and cute anymore.

2. AIDEN + ELSA. 3 stars. they continued to be them deranged and unhinged psychos selves, but I can bear them in small doses. Aiden is a bit much to me, but he's a caring and loving husband and Elsa as a mom was sweet too.

3. XANDER + KIM. 1 stars.
Too corny I wanna throw up, I need them never to speak again. 1 star because the sex scene against the door is funny to me.

4. RONAN + TEAL. 1 star.
NOPE. I don't really have an explanation for why I don't like them, I just simply don't. I like Ronan from other characters POVs, but from his own just nope. And Teal... she's like a cartoon with two different personalities to the point of not making sense. 1 star because I liked Remi.

5. SILVER + COLE. all the stars in the world!!
I don't want to do an essay on how much I love them so I'll just say it's funny how Rita made all the other characters just so Silver and Cole could eat them up. She's truly a comedian.

Honestly, I would trade this whole novella for one about just them without thinking. There are so many things that I still wanna read; their vows, Ava's birth, Cole and Silver going to doctor's appointments together, just them being a big happy family, etc. But I'm gonna settle for what I got here and I mean Cole and Silver being the best characters, the best couple AND the best parents!

I also saw at the end that the next gen is gonna have books too but in 2022!!! I'll probably be in my retirement home by then, but I hope she treats my girl Ava well, as she's destined to eat the world after the parents she has and those are just facts.

Це було дуууже мило
Невеличкі історії про важливі події у житті кожної з 5 пар.

Пропозиція. Весілля. Медовий місяць. Вагітність. Їхня дружба. Я розтанула від мілоти🥹🥹🥹. А їхні групові переписки - це, взагалі, окремий вид задоволення🤌🤌🤌

Люблю цих героїв, незважаючи на їхню дивакуватість❤️

P.S. Ну і звісно натяки на одну з парочок не змогли залишити мене байдужою, з нетерпінням чекатиму їхню історію

THE WORST FUCKING EPILOGUE BOOK I EVER READ.

I MEAN 85% CONTENT WAS ALREADY THERE IN THE CHARACTERS BOOKS. ONLY 15% WERE NEW WHICH WASN'T EVEN THAT SPECIAL. IT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT IT IS SO RUINED.

I don't understand how did Levi & Aiden accept that Jonathan fucked his dead wife's sister. Not only them but all the others in the group too.

I loved seeing all of them. I missed them so much. But they all deserved a better ending to their stories not this half assed book.

I’m so glad Rina decided to write a whole-ass epilogue for this series; I don’t know about you guys, but I’m so not ready to let them go!

I feel like I’ve just had front-row tickets to watch my favourite Royal Elite couples grow and complete important life milestones from being teenagers wreaking havoc to getting married to becoming (somewhat) mature grown adults with their own children.

Rina Kent wrapped this series up so gracefully with a bow, giving each character the send-off they deserved. My heart was so full when I got to the end, and I hope we see glimpses of them in later books.
