This has to be my favourite book in the series! This whole time I thought Lucy and Tom would get together but I prefer the actual outcome. I've always loved Raphael but I fell in love with him in this book and poor Nicole she's been through so much that she still can't help doubting everything This book ends on a cliffhanger because this author likes torture too 😂😂 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🔥🔥🌶️🌶️
‘What do we say when we’ve misbehaved?’ ‘I’m sorry, Raphael.’ ‘Good girl’ – he slid his hand down to the apex of my thighs – ‘unfortunately, apologising doesn’t mean we escape punishment.’
I decided to do a book review for the series instead of three individual reviews. As of right now, three books of the series are out, so the series isn’t complete yet.
The Krish Series is a love story between two stubborn people, aka Raphael and Nicole. Raphael is your jerk of an alpha billionaire. He knows what he wants, and he destroys everything and everyone in his path to get what he wants. And he thinks dealing with Nicole will be no different. Except he couldn’t be more wrong. Nicole isn’t the type of person to bend to will of other people if she doesn’t agree with them, and boy does she hate Raphael at first. She’s more than willing to dent the billionaire and does so constantly.
This story begins to pickup on a enemies-to-lovers type of vibe, and that was totally ok with me. Especially since, even when Nicole and Raphael began to sleep together, and eventually started dating, she didn’t submit to Raphael’s every whim. She did her own thing and called him out on his bullshit. I found it very entertaining when she put him in his place.
Nicole and Raphael’s relationship is a constant work in progress. They have their ups and their downs, but you can’t question the fact that they love each other. They definitely love in different ways which often leads to many issues between the two, but they do love each other. They also deal with things in different ways. Nicole is more rational, but also tends to overthink things. Raphael, on the other hand, is more rash and aggressive when he reacts. The two are learning to be more communicative with each other rather than letting the way they deal with things continue to cause obstacles which the couple then has to overcome. I’m looking forward to seeing the relationship further develop in book 4.
If you’re looking for an enemies-to-lovers romance that involves a billionaire and a woman who is just as kickass in her own career, then you should give the Krish series a try.
Note: any typos did not hold influence over my rating.
This book continues where the whirlwind romance of Raphael & Nicole left off in Book 2! This book jumps 3 years in the future and we get to see all the success that Nicole & Tom’s new fund has earned. Nicole has become an even stronger and independent woman. She has become accustom to the overbearing and overprotective nature of Raphael’s family even when he physically abandoned her he still is keeping her safe with security. Nicole longs to see Raphael again but in the 3 years since he left for New York she has delved into her own success!
When she runs into Raphael at an award ceremony her entire world explodes because she can’t help the power and response she has too him even though it been a years. Raphael has never let her go but he has spiraled out of control because he was trying to do the right thing even thought Nicole has no idea what he promised and how all his actions were to keep her safe.
Their reunion is hostile and explosive. Nicole doesn’t know what to think or feel because she will not allow him to break her again! Raphael knows the only way to earn Nicole’s love back and to get her back in his life is to come clean and tell her everything he feels and wants from her. When they are together it’s explosive and their love jumps off the page. They have a long road ahead of them to make it back to a place they can be happy. Trust is vital and they both have issues in that area and watching them find their way back to each is one hell of a ride. This book leaves us with a cliffhanger and I know waiting for Book 4 is going to be worth the wait! Happy Reading!!
Will outside forces threaten their chance at happily ever after?
After Krish picks up three years later since Nichole last talked to or has seen Raphael. She was receiving the Rising Star of The Year award and giving a speech when he interrupted her. That started a chain reaction and her business partner ended up asking her to marry her. Livid by both Raphael and Tom she walked off stage. Little did she know it was a ruse on Tom's part to get a reaction out of Raphael. As the story progresses you see how over the years apart Nichole has grown up,she has become a fierce business woman, independent, strong and devoted to her friends even though she still hasn't gotten over her love and yearning for Raphael. I found her to be a little stifled by her family and their control over who she sees. Raphael has stayed away from her out of guilt and a promise he made. But he still made sure she was protected from afar. Then everything changes when she refuses his protection. While they have suffered without each other they have also grown stronger individually apart. Once they allow themselves to get close again they can't deny they love each other and won't let anything or anybody get between them again. Raphael must prove himself to her, her friends and more importantly her family. There were some really interesting twists and turns that I didn't see coming again in this book and once again it has one doozie of a cliffhanger! Gaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Now who is after them??? HOLY SMOKES! What!?!?
I loved the first book in the series, the second book fell short but I wasn't a fan at all of this book.
Raphael ghosts Nicole for three years, she stalks him like crazy, getting herself booted from his home and place of business, then out of nowhere he pops back up in her life and at first, she wasn't going to take him back and I thought "finally, a book where the female lead isn't a pushover." But when he confessed his feelings and she falls back into his arms like the past three years didn't happen.
I know this is a work of fiction but come on, you should've had Nicole make Raphael work to get her back, make him chase her and earn her trust back. It would've, for me anyways, made for a more exciting read. I never DNF a book and will always give it a chance but there was a few times where I actually thought about DNFing it.
Maybe the forth book will have more angst, more friction between characters.
Not going to lie… I was getting really concerned that Raphael was never going to pull his head out of the sand and get his act together!
Finally in the third installment of the Krish series, After Krish, by @njbhogayta we start to read about Nicole and Raphael navigating a better/healthier relationship.
The beginning actually shocked me a little, but I think the way it was planned out was what was best for them in order to grow and become the best versions of themselves.
After the constant back and forth between Nicole and Raphael in the first two books, it was very refreshing to not have as much in the third. Plus there was a lot more connection and steam in this one!
@njbhogayta left us with a little bit of a suspenseful cliffhanger and I can’t want to read what happens next! Keeping an eye out for the release of book 4!
I started this, the 3rd book in the series not knowing what to expect but wow it certainly didn’t disappoint just the first few chapters got me so excited I was glad I had the whole day to read. Set 3 years after the last book Nicole has made it in the cut throat world big business and hasn’t seen Raphael in all that time when they meet up at an awards ceremony………….sorry you just have to read what happens its so good keeps you interested right to the end and then cliffhanger book number 4 cannot wait
I started this book at 1am as I had to know what happened after the end of book 2! I was heartbroken cried my eyes out! I couldn’t believe what I was reading! Then it all turned around! The love came back the romance the sex appeal! I love the dynamic between the 2 reminds me of me and my husband, who can seem cold to outsiders but in our space he’s the most loving, caring and generous man I’ve ever met! Raphael and Nicole have the same dynamic to me ❤️ loved that wales used in the book 🏴! And the ending wow! I cannot wait for book 4! I hope it never ends!
This series is so captivating! I cannot put these books down. I’m completely engrossed by the end of chapter one. I was thrilled that Nicole gave Raphael a run for his money in this book. Raphael was definitely humbled by Nicole and it made my heart sing. The big Texan threw me for a loop and I was so worried he would cause too much chaos for Nicole and Raphael to overcome. I’m waiting on pins and needles for the next book!
I am totally obsessed with the Krish series! The ups and downs in this book between the two main characters are amazing. A great story line and never a dull moment! The book has great flow and you cry and smile at the same time. The other characters in these books are also amazing. Don’t miss out…..read these books immediately!!! Can’t wait for book 4…..hurry
I could not be anymore in love with Raphael! I loved this book. I really enjoyed seeing the relationship and character growth. Not going to lie the closer I got to the end, the more nervous I got because I knew something was coming! What I did not expect was for it to be that or right at the end! I can’t wait for the next book to come out later this year to see what on earth is going on!! I’m not sure how long I can survive waiting lol.
After three years of Nicole trying her damn hardest to get Raphael back she finally just says fuck it I'm done and Raphael can't have that so he breaks his promise and pursues her again. Though nothing can erase their past he truly tries to make up for his mistakes. Prove to Nicole that he does love her and will do everything in his power do do things right!
I couldn't actually put my kindle down. What a great continuation from previous book. I did ugly cry at least 4 times in the first 15% of the book. So much pain. Angst. Love. That ending though......wft?! I need answers 😂 To see how much Raphael had grown melted my heart. I love this series Eagerly and patiently waiting for the next book
Book 3 in the series and I hate Raphael a lot less. He definitely redeemed himself a lot in this book. I had no idea this series was incomplete though! That cliffy was not expected at all. I really like how the gang has grown and I really hope to see more of Lucy’s romance. Girl deserves a break!
Finally we get Raphael and Nicole together but yet another threat- this love story is full of passion and drama and it’s keeps you on the edge of your seat. I honestly enjoyed this series tremendously!!! And I can’t wait to see how this story ends !
