Wicked Empire
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you the next installment of her new dark mafia, high school bully romance series.

But as the sirens ring out in the distance and she stares down into my eyes, she can no longer deny what’s right in front of her.
I’m not going to go down without a fight.
And I’m sure as hell not going to lose her now.
Even as our stubbornness tries to force us apart, severing everything we’ve built thus far.
With our nerves frayed and tempers close to breaking point, our fractured family sets about discovering the truth.
But we soon uncover more corruption and betrayal that only causes more pain to those I love.
Our entire empire is at risk, and it’s time to put the past behind us and carve out the future we deserve.

After that huge cliff hanger in Wicked Princess I anxiously waited to see what would happen and Tracy Lorraine did not disappoint. She gave us our much need answers in Wicked Empire and it was fabulous!
Seb and Stella are still the most spectacular couple, they complete each other. Their relationship is extremely passionate and infatuated. They cannot keep their hands off each other and it was sublimely perfect! There was mystery and mayhem, chaos and combustion, but when they gathered as a family they became unstoppable.
I cannot wait for Emmie and Theo's story!

ця молодь не перестає мене розважати. протягом третьої книги сміялась найбільше з їх компашки 🤭
гарне завершення історії стелли та себа. додали ще трохи драми та екшену, все як я люблю. взагалі ця частина була найбільш динамічна, найс 😎
єдине, хотілося б кращої розв'язки з антагоністами. а то чих-пих і готово. я не встигла кайфонути 🌚

Okay story
Wicked Empire picks up from where book two ends. I love the characters, and I wish each guy, including Calli, gets their own book. I was blown away by the secrets revealed towards the end of the story, which wasn't a surprise. OMG, the tension between Theo and Emmie was electrifying, and I can't wait for their story in Deviant Knight.
This is book 3 in the series, and it's not my favourite of the series. I wish it has more tension and angst between Stella ad Sebastian.
This is book 3 in the series, and it's not my favourite of the series. I wish it has more tension and angst between Stella ad Sebastian. The story took too long to pick up, and someone wanting to hurt Stella was drawn out too long. I felt like something was missing, or there needed to be a plot twist. There was such a buildup from books 1 and 2.
Overall this book is spicy, has excellent dialogue, and has fantastic character.

✨ARC Review✨
Some series’s can fizzle out and cause you to lose interest after the first or second book... but not this series. Tracy Lorraine’s writing will keep you captivated throughout all three books and still make you gasp for more. Thankfully there are at least another two books in this series, to carry on this amazing world.
Wicked Empire pulls you straight back onto the wild rollercoaster that book 2 left you on. Just like the other two books, this one is a thrilling story filled with violence, action, suspense and some super hot moments 🥵. This review isn’t as long as the others as I don’t want to give you any clues as to what happens- I want you to be completely surprised 😂, I also don’t want to repeat myself too much. What I will say though, is that:
- the character development was phenomenal
- The ending (to this couple) was perfection
- And the steam did not AT ALL disappoint
You also seriously need to read this, starting with the prequel- Wicked Summer Knight. It is a series you do not want to miss, the main troupe being bully romance (but with a kickass heroine).
STARS:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+
SPICE:🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶+

Smokin' hot with thrills
The flames burned and suspense built until the explosive cliffhanger leading right into book 3's exciting conclusion. This story is more romantic suspense with a lot of steam than the enemy to lovers pull and push and power exchange. Still loving these characters, especially Stella with the great balance of confidence, feisty, and submission, and Seb who has lost none of his alpha though warmer grounded in his affection for her. The attraction between these two was heady making for some spicy scenes within the mafia backdrop and adventure. While my favorite was book 1 because I liked caustic, enemies to lovers themes, and majorly its more progressive pace -- books 2 and 3 were slower reads -- the finale was a worthy read and a satisfying ending steeped in intrigue and steamy romance. Story 3.5 stars.
Audiobook
The duet voice performances were simply amazing. These two actors demonstrated talent in projecting diverse characters, accents, and intonation. They performed the story to create a mentally visual experience, which I enjoyed better than my reading it. Voice performance 5 stars.

This books just didn’t work for me, something was always missing for me with the romance and the story. I didn’t really fell their connection to each other and it made me lose interest after a while.
There was some interesting moment but I was just ready to leave this book behind me. How ever I am looking forward to the new couple in the next book. Maybe the will hold my interest because the writing wasn’t bad through this book. The story just didn’t fit me so I will definitely read the next book at some point.

Seb & Stella
For those of you who have been following the Knight's Ridge Empire series after Wicked Princess we were left with a crazy cliffhanger so I knew I had to get my hands on this book as soon as possible. To say it didn’t disappoint is an understatement…it was fantastic!!
I don’t want to give anything away so just know that this series is a must read and the final book was a perfect way to end Seb and Stella’s story. I highly recommend not only this book but the whole series.

Ok I am going to be honest here. I am conflicted on if I liked the series or didn’t. I was just conflicted on if I should give it 3 stars or 4 stars, so I settled at 3.5 stars lol.
Was it a great book/series? It wasn’t the best of its kind, no. But I was intrigued. I was invested. I probably will not do a reread anytime soon. It was your average teenage mafia with sex, drugs, and drinking throughout. Nothing that “WOW” in the book tbh.
Thankfully this book had multiple events that happened to progress the plot. The last two books were unclimatic until the end of the book, just so the plot can continue. This book actually had something throughout.
Ok, this series is an erotica. The characters are having sex in every chapter. Is it good sex? It’s the same thing over and over. Nothing that jumped out to be the best written. Also, the same soooo hue through sex. Nothing new. Here’s my thing. I love eroticas. I read them for years, but I’ve come to a point in my reading career that I want purposeful scenes in books. Either it pushes the characters or the plot or the overall tone of the book. In this series/book, majority of the scenes were unnecessary. I’m going to be honest, I fast forwarded in this book because I was so annoyed.
The plot got better yes. But did I expect everything that happened? I excepted half of it. So…yeah.
Will I finish this series and read the last book with Emma’s and Theo? I think I’m good for right now. I read the snippet in the last book and it seems like the same characterization just with two different characters. I think I want something new now.
3.5 star rating.

Ma’am!! Every time a new story comes out by you, you blow my flipping mind!!! Seb and Stella are my absolute favorite and one of my most favorite series ever! These two together are explosive the way they care for one another. And when they love they love so hard. Seb, Stella and everyone they are family and family protects one another and when you mess with one you get the wrath from them all. These two had their ups and downs to say the least but they showed up and showed out and came out on top. The conclusion to their their story was everything I needed with some twists turns and surprises thrown in. Absolutely amazing!! Now I’m ready for Emmie and Theo because I have a feeling they are about to burn up these pages!!!

"Back when I was trying to convince myself that I hated her. That every single part of my shit life was her fault. Little did I know, all I needed was her to make everything that much more bearable."
"I hated him. I hated him so fucking much. I smile as I recall some of our worst times. But now… Now he’s my everything, and I can’t imagine my life without him in it."
I can't believe this is the last book from Sebastian and Stella's POV, but man was it a ride. I couldn't put it down.
The book started where the cliffhanger left off. Tracy knew what she was writing to pull at my heartstrings with this book. So much happened in this book and it tied up all the mysteries and questions perfectly. The conclusion to Sebastian and Stella's story is to die for!
Sebastian and Stella show everyone how much they're meant to be together and how much they needed each other and could live without the other.
The growth between these characters is amazing, they needed one another to become the versions of themselves.
Of course just the perfect amount of Sebastian and Stella scenes, but the story also covered all the bases and tied everything up nicely. Thank you Tracy for this spicy read.
I cannot wait to read Theo and Emmie's POV in Deviant Knight. The spice level of these two is just as good as Sebastian and Stella's if I darn say more? 🤔🥵

This is going to be a short review.
I struggled to finish this book. While I absolutely loved the prequel and the first book, my opinion of the series went downhill after that. This third book was a lot of telling and not a lot of showing. The characters are way too passive, spending more time drinking and having sex than trying to find who is after Stella. It annoyed me to no end and I definitely skimmed the final 30% of the book.
And damn, I'm glad it's over now.
Stella is supposed to be this bad-ass character, rather than a princess in the tower; I didn't get much of that after book 1. They are "constantly busy" searching for whoever is after her, but all you ever see them do is drink, get high, and have sex.
Also, still trying to figure out why the series was named after the school when they never go to school. Maybe making the characters a few years older would have been a better idea, as it would have taken away their need to even go there, rather than have them skipping all the time.

ehhh
I honestly don’t know what happened, but my loyalties no longer lie with Stella and Seb. I was seriously so bored with them!! I was just like reading this as fast as I could to get ready for Deviant Knight. I need the ultimate cold and devious bastard’s story so bad it’s not even funny.
Stella and Seb are cool. They are so completely devoted to one another it makes me feel so warm on the inside. I loved their messy selves. But I was also annoyed with them from time to time. Hard to explain, most likely a fat case if “it’s me” lol!
My goodness I am so ready to get my hands on the rest of the guys’ stories. It’s gonna be like Christmas on every release day!!! Can’t wait !!

DNF 68% **rant ahead**
This is a tragedy... I loved book 1 so much and liked book 2 but this one was a huge let down. Literally a lot of dull moments and the cliffhanger of book 1 is almost like pushed aside and nothing happened. Also, as much as I liked Stella & Seb... I can't believe I'm saying this but every single chapters, they were getting on. Like we get it... you guys are obsessed with each other but c'mon! And everyone in this book is supposed to be badass, big bad group, but everyone stammers and acts afraid. I had to DNF it because I kept on putting it down and don't want to read it.

Well hell people… All I can say is, I really enjoyed this first set of the series.. I have moved on to the next set of couples in the Knights Ridge Empire series and its already something to gush about.
Swooning with Seb and Stella’s story.. but kudos to Tracy cos she did a f**king amazing job in these books.
People the book and series was hot as F**K .. nickers definitely off.. I would advise on some form of toy out for the ready.
Nothing too kinky, but it was hot.. really hot...I mean they were screwing like rabbits.
Really, I actually enjoy the normal smut for ones. 😊
Seb and Stella are kinky as sin, but not as some kinks would.. 😉
Ok.. So this is the last review for the book, I have trouble trying not to sound too flat for the review cos the books were far from that. But its not that easy to write 3 reviews for the same characters and not give the whole story away.
Book 1 - 3 is Stella and Seb's books:
This book 3 of this actually f**king amazing Greek Mafia story of Stella and Sebastian.
When Stella and Seb finally get back to London, Stella and Seb are on edge with the knowledge that someone is trying to kill Stella. They don’t know who and cant find any trace of Stella’s attacker. The mob family have their intel out and they are looking for the culprit, with Toby (Stella’s bother) and her father they leading the search. But they have no idea who it could be, Theo Cerillo (the heir to the mob family) thinks that Emmi is the mole in the group. She is Stella best friend and the princess to the Royal Reapers MC, but they cant find the connection and who is pulling the strings.
Stella finds out more about her past that her father has been hiding from her, but she finally has what she is wishing and hoping for all this time.
You are all going to get a big surprise people..
Now I think that this was a definitely a nickers off and toy out worthy book.. I had the time of my mind with these 3 books and I am itching to go in for the 2nd set of couples with is Theo and Emmi and I have a feeling this is going to be another epic read... hu uh.. 😊
Darlings all I can say is get them out, hmmm… toys, the whole shebang cos its hot in the house when Stella and Seb get it going..

Picking right up where book 2 left, we discover who the shooter managed to get and Stella is in bits. He's getting more reckless in his pursuit.
Protecting Stella is everyone's key focus, especially Seb's. They've both had their love tested so many times in the short few weeks of their relationship, and the difference in Seb is unrecognisable. As the boys tell him regularly....he is truly whipped! But he doesn't care - and he doesn't care who knows it!
And if their heat was off the charts in the last two books...it has nothing on them now!!! Rabbits have nothing on them, and it becomes a running joke that they're always at it! And altho I think the fact both their lives keep being threatened has a great deal to do with it, I do think they're a match made in heaven anyway!
Family goings on is a big issue in this one aswell. Stella gets to finally meet her -and Tobys- mum for the first time, after having to work out a mission in its own right to avoid the wrath of Jonas.
Stella also meets Seb's mum and sisters which went well, but has an unexpected turn later on.
The boys, along with Galen, Damien and Evan are hot on the heels of the suspect. The Italian drop them a hint which help and slowly they finally discover who has been making life so difficult.
It's a good round up for Stella and Seb. Except, we're left with the suspect still alive and I know I'd much rather he not be!!! Hopefully that will change!
And then there's the whole mystery of Emmie and her involvement. I'm looking forward to seeing this develop. To see if she did betray her friendship with Stella. And if the heavy sexual tension between her and Theo will end in a good way....
Looks like we'll be going back to Knights Ridge, which I look forward to!!
I received a copy of the ebook in return for an honest review

Stella also meets Seb's mum and sisters which went well, but has an unexpected turn later on.
The boys, along with Galen, Damien and Evan are hot on the heels of the suspect. The Italian drop them a hint which help and slowly they finally discover who has been making life so difficult.
It's a good round up for Stella and Seb. Except, we're left with the suspect still alive and I know I'd much rather he not be!!! Hopefully that will change!
And then there's the whole mystery of Emmie and her involvement. I'm looking forward to seeing this develop. To see if she did betray her friendship with Stella. And if the heavy sexual tension between her and Theo will end in a good way....
Looks like we'll be going back to Knights Ridge, which I look forward to!!

"Back when I was trying to convince myself that I hated her. That every single part of my shit life was her fault. Little did I know, all I needed was her to make everything that much more bearable."
"I hated him. I hated him so fucking much. I smile as I recall some of our worst times. But now… Now he’s my everything, and I can’t imagine my life without him in it."
I can't believe this is the last book from Sebastian and Stella's POV, but man was it a ride. I couldn't put it down.
The book started where the cliffhanger left off. Tracy knew what she was writing to pull at my heartstrings with this book. So much happened in this book and it tied up all the mysteries and questions perfectly. The conclusion to Sebastian and Stella's story is to die for!
Sebastian and Stella show everyone how much they're meant to be together and how much they needed each other and could live without the other.
The growth between these characters is amazing, they needed one another to become the versions of themselves.
Of course just the perfect amount of Sebastian and Stella scenes, but the story also covered all the bases and tied everything up nicely. Thank you Tracy for this spicy read.
I cannot wait to read Theo and Emmie's POV in Deviant Knight. The spice level of these two is just as good as Sebastian and Stella's if I darn say more? 🤔🥵

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
She didn't want to believe me. She wanted to believe the threat wasn't really there. But as the sirens ring out in the distance and she stares down into my eyes, she can no longer deny what's right in front of her. I'm not to go down without a fight. And I'm sure as hell not going to lose her now. Even as our stubbornness tries to force us apart, severing everything we've built thus far. With our nerves frayed and tempers close to breaking point, our fractured family sets about discovering the truth. But we soon uncover more corruption and betrayal that only causes more pain to those I love. Our entire empire is at risk, and it's time to put the past behind us and carve out the future we deserve.
This is the third and final book in Stella and Sebastian's trilogy. This is only the first couple in the Knight's Ridge Empire. This is also a dark bully romance and will contain some triggers for some people. There might be triggers for some readers and you will want to proceed with caution. This one picks up right where Wicked Princess left off and I was so excited to have it in my hands. I am so hooked on this series. To say Seb and Stella have been through a lot might be an understatement. But, there problems are not over yet. Whatever comes their way there is not a doubt in this world that they will face it together. This is the pay off. The place where they become the power couple they were always meant to be. I loved this book so much and I am sorry I can not tell you about the story but I do not want to ruin anything for any of you who have not read this book.

Overall I enjoyed the trilogy.
I'm not planning on jumping right into Theo and Emmie's story, but I'll put it on my list of books to read in the future. I love Tracy's writing style, she tells a great story, but this series just had a little too much sex in it. I would lean more toward erotica than romance with this one. I had to keep telling myself the characters were in college and not high school. Don't get me wrong, I love a good spicy scene, but this was the same thing in every other chapter.
It does have a great plot and that's what kept me reading. I guessed in book one who the villain was, but she did get me with the brother twists. The only thing I felt was missing in the series was the school aspect. Not that I wanted that setting, but the fact that the school was the main setting in book 1 and then is barely mentioned in the next 2 was strange. It seemed like the girls were going to be part of the drama, and then that whole part of the story just dropped off instead of fade out or come to a conclusion. I mean, you don't just trash someones car and then never get mentioned again in 2 books.

My Review: OMG this trilogy is EVERYTHING! I loved every second of this wild and wicked ride. Seb and Stella’s journey was hard but so rewarding. They hated each other ferociously but that turned into an all consuming love that is totally EPIC. Stella saves Seb from his dark and vengeful descent into Hell and Seb gives Stella the acceptance and love she’s always wanted. They are absolutely perfect together and become each other’s world. It was sweet and exciting and so much fun to read. I’m sad to be ending their story but I look forward to Theo’s next. Highly impressed with the author and this series!

(4 Stars)
The third book in this series, but also the third in the Seb and Stella trilogy. That's right, it has taken us three books to get Seb and Stella's whole story. Here's my issue, as much as I loved Seb and Stella in books one and two, book three ... it felt like filler. Don't get me wrong, this was still a good story, but it really felt unneeded. This was full of drama, hot naughty bits and I think it actually went over the amount of hot naughty bits needed in a story, IK, IK, I never thought I would say that, but this was like, OMG they are doing it again. I am invested in the characters though, so I need to read about Theo and if he gets his crap worked out. I give this 4 stars.

Good
Wow what a good ending to Seb & Stella’s story.
I knew who the inside man was it was obviously going to be him but I didn’t guess the other one.
I was well impressed with how Stella handled it but would have liked to know more about what happened to the inside man and what they did to him, hopefully that’s mentioned in Theo’s story next.
I love how Seb went from a disgusting monster with just vengeance from his grief to being whipped and so in love with Stella but she was a good badass and made him suffer for what he did before she forgave him.
I also loved Toby and what happened near the end so at least he knows who he is, all of their group is loveable in some way but I really want Toby & Callie to fall in love and see how Nico reacts 🤣
If not Toby then Alex or Daemon as that would be hilarious 🤣 🤣
Looking forward to Theo & Emmie’s story next.

Wicked Empire is Novel 3 in the Knights Ridge Empire Series by Tracy Lorraine.
I love this series!! It is so much more than a bunch of smut!! The story and secrets, twists and turns, characters, and character development. I love it all!!
Stella and Sebastian are a match made in the darkness. Their passion, their lust, their everything about each other. Each others kryptonite and greatest strength.
The plot of this story follows a mysterious person plotting and attempting to kill a member of their family. Many secrets and shadows unfold throughout keeping the reader on their toes.
🔥 Found Family
🔥 Mafia Romance
🔥 Strong FMC
🔥 Touch her and d!e
🔥 Spicy 🥵🥵🥵🥵

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. This is truly one of my series by Tracy along with Rosewood. Stella and Seb omg the ride they took me on. I'm sad to say goodbye but also really excited for whats next to come. In saying I had a feeling who was after Stella and I was right but that twist completely messed me up. I also love Theo and Toby! The rest of the guys as well. Plus I would love to see Cali with Toby or maybe Deamon. Alex not sure about that lol. And Emmie we all know where that is going wink lol.

***RECEIVED FREE ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW***
Could not put it down!!
After the cliff-hanger in the last book, I needed this book!!
Seb and Stella have been through a lot, and their problems are not yet over but they will face it together.
Their relationship has improved so much and it is quite inspiring, they became a power couple.
There is suspense, drama and mystery. I just did not know what would happen next!!

3.5 stars
I am sad to see the end of this couple, so I am very much looking forward to books about all of the side characters, where we can hopefully see more of Stella and Sebastian. I didn't see the bad guy coming, and am loving that fact, because all too often it is obvious. Another plus for this series was the narration of the audiobooks. Accents are a big draw for me, and they were swoon worthy here.

My Review 💋💋💋💋💋
The final book in Stella & Sebs series was absolutely a great wrap up to the roller coaster that we have been on and it was amazing.
Stella has been the bad ass heroine throughout this whole series and this final book is of course the culmination of what has been building and Stella is going to stop at nothing to take back her life and protect those most important to her.
Stella may have been unsure of where she belonged when moving to England and wanting to go back to Rosewood but soon she finds her family and bonds that will never be broken.
Seb is the bad boy with a heart of gold when it comes to those he lets in his circle. Throughout this series we have seen Seb go from bad boy alpha bully to the guy who is so whipped that he doesn’t care who knows it because only one person will have his heart.
Of course you have some moments where you wanna question what is going on but don’t worry most question will be answered and if not you get to the next pair soon enough to hopefully fill in some holes.
I’m gonna recommend you put this final book in Stellas story on your kindle because you gotta know what those Knights are up against and how bad ass Stella Dukakas really is!

I literally skipped through this book to get the final results. It was pointless and I just wasn't invested. I am kind of interested in Theo's story but I have a feeling it will be the same way.
