Krowned: The Art of Loving a Savage
The life of a “struggling artist” was not one that Royce Kingston had ever envisioned for herself. But brutal circumstances and the death of her best friend Krown set Royce’s life on a path she could have never imagined. It didn’t help that she felt betrayed by the people closest to her, including Krown’s intriguing, infuriating brother, Bishop Banks. As conflicted as she was about Bishop, Royce just couldn’t deny the burning attraction that they shared nor the secrets that were bound to destroy them.
The day he learned his sister died, Bishop Banks vowed to leave the streets behind. He couldn’t stand the guilt in his own heart.
The hurt he saw in Royce’s eyes and her refusal to acknowledge him and what they shared had him thinking that the potential between them had been crushed. His need to get away and the questions surrounding his sister’s death lead Banks to focus his attention ON his new found love.. diamonds.
Now, he had returned to the city. Determined to put the missing puzzle pieces together, he showed no mercy. Banks pursued answers that would provide him with closure and ultimately— Royce.
For a long time, Bishop believed that love was not in the cards for him. But reconnecting with Royce in an unexpected place made him wonder if his assumptions were wrong. Maybe fate held a future for him with his young love and this time, Banks was determined not to miss out.
Beauty and simplicity were the guiding forces in Infinity Kingston’s life. Enmeshed in her work with priceless art, the gallery owner shunned entanglements and complications. Infinity liked things elegant and refined, two words that could never be used to describe Tristan “Tank” Black. Impulsive and just a little insane, Tank had no interest in things like “balance” and “order.” Still, he was everything Infinity desired… But felt she didn’t need.
Despite his brash and bold demeanor, Tank Black craved peace. For the longest time, Infinity had been his, but the streets had other plans. Now that he was rightfully positioned, he had every intention on claiming what was his.

WOW
This is such an engaging story….By far, Tank is my absolute favorite and he’s a secondary character. There’s a lot going on and the various storylines are well flushed out. The character development is amazing…this story is sooo intriguing….Now, I have to move on to book 2.

This was sooooo good! After seeing a review from one of my fellow book buddies I knew I had to get into this story and I was not disappointed!! I meannnnnnn!!!! This was the perfect mix of love, lies, secrecy and laughs. You will be thoroughly entertained reading about Krown and the secrets that were spilled from the grave.
The book opens up seven years prior to present day with Royce, Krowns bestie, picking her up from a 30 day treatment program. At just 18 years old she was struggling with so many demons that her mind, body and soul simply couldn’t escape. Fast forwarding to present day, we embark on a journey of Royce trying to honor and protect her best friend in the best way that she can and that’s as her keeper of secrets. Royce’ loyalty to Krown had no limits and she’s determined to keep Krown safe the best way she knows how even at the expense of her own happiness.
The book also features Bishop, Krowns brother and Royce’s love interest, Infinity Royce’s sister, Aston Royce and Infinity’s brother and Tank (the mf star of this book 🤣). He is Bishop’s right hand and Infinity’s love interest.
When Krowns secrets begin to bubble over and spill over into the lives of this crew, no one could imagine how deep things will get! How will they recover? Can they recover? Read and find out 🤣🤣

And now we wait for part two! For some reason I figured the plot out entirely too early but still I wanted to see how the author would make the reveal. I genuinely like Bishop and Royce together and Tank is crazy but a good time. He had me cracking up every time he would pray, lol! There was a lot going on in the story and at the beginning I was a little confused on the time line. Nonetheless, I am interested in seeing how this story progresses.

Krown knows she’s wrong , layers of secrets Krown took to the grave had an impact on the people around her. I loved Tank he made everything lighter the way it ended things are just getting started but this has everyone side eyeing Royce.

SECRETS!!!
When I say that Krown left a mess, she did. Royce trying to be a loyal friend, has possibly messed up with the love of her life. Tank is a whole fool and I love it. Infiniti was made just for him, I was glad when she stop fighting her feeling for him. Bishop aka Banks, is a big teddy bear that I would mind loving on. Mercedes needs to be thrown in that same river and Jason. Part 2 me please.

I had a feeling Mercedes knew the truth about Najia! I didn’t suspect Aston to be the father until he said he had the gene. I don’t understand why Royce didn’t tell them the truth. I love me some Tank even though he’s a psycho ! Lol! I like Aston too. I can’t stand Bishop’s love of snakes, but oh well! I think there is a lot more to those people at the Gallery. Please don’t keep us waiting too long for next installment!!!

Heating up
So I think that Omar dude is the man that got her hooked on drugs. See they must don't know that Tank, Ashton, and Bishop are some real goons out here. Now they are going to find out first hand. Never mess with a man's family. The snakes are about to have some big meals on their hands.

Krown🔥🔥🔥
This book was really good. Krown had an affect on each persons life in the story. Royce was her backbone for so many years and when she died, she blamed everyone and continued to carry Krown’s secrets. Royce should of been honest with everyone, but back then she only trusted herself and everyone around her had let her down. Now let’s see how this play out.

Good
The twists and turns. Yeah this book is good. I don't understand why Royce was so mad at Bishop to begin with, sure knew that he had no idea about what Krown went through. I also don't understand why she would keep the paternity of Jia a secret. I guess I'll find out in part 2. Tank is hilarious!

A decent read
A decent book yet too many additional side stories to support the main characters. Plus is wound up being a continuation which I will not be reading…the first book was already too long and took too much time to reach a point.
