Knight's Ridge Empire #15
Corrupt Union
I found everything I didn’t know I needed.
Accepted forgiveness I didn’t deserve.
She fought for us.
Killed for us.
She was one of us.
And there was no way I was letting her go… again.
But I’m not the only one with wicked intentions for my siren. With her missing, we turn our blame to an obvious enemy. But our path of destruction could be leading us right into another trap.
We’ve been so consumed trying to win this war, that we’re losing the battle. We’ve been oblivious to what’s right in front of us.
Those kind of mistakes could destroy us. If we let them.
Individually, we’re strong.
But together, we’re invincible.
And we’re about to show the world just what we’re capable of.

This is the final book of The Corrupt Trilogy and a fantastic wrap up. There were so many revelations and turning points in this book; that it drew me right in and kept my attention to the very end. It picks up right after that amazing cliffhanger from book two. Nico and Bri are such a perfect match for each other, their chemistry is off the charts. Both of them grew so much personally and a couple during the course of this series. I love their happily ever after.
It's wonderful that there is so much interaction with all the previous characters from the Knight Ridge Empire. It really shows the strength in the family they have acquired and built. I love how all the women in this series are such strong female characters, especially Bri. She handled herself like a true queen after all that she had endured. I will admit a small piece of me had hoped for a little family reunion for Bri. Maybe that's a story to be told in the future.
I look forward to reading about the last and final night Alex, I wonder what his future holds!

After the way that the second book in this series ended Nico will finally be forced to face his feelings for Brianna if they are going to find their way back to each other. At first, he wonders if she can be trusted but he soon realizes that the truth is far worse and there isn’t anything he won’t do to get her back.
Brianna may have had her doubts about Nico but after recent events the one thing she does know is that there is no one else that she would rather have her back. Getting back to Nico is only the first part of the battle as the twists keep coming.
Nico and Brianna have spent so much time working against each other that seeing them finally work together is a revelation. They have both been through so much and despite all the challenges that keep coming there is no doubt that as long as they are together they can overcome anything.

I was given an advanced readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. I am rating this book 4.5 stars. Wow I see Nico is a complete changed man. From going from a huge player to one man woman wow. Brianna is truly perfect for Nico with her he's met his match. They dont level each other out, they bring out the crazy together I feaken love it. Now Alex who the girl you have been looking for her?? And I really hope there is more to come to ant, Enzo and Matteo. Also what is Isla deal?

What a wild ride and one hell of an ending.
𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 is the wild conclusion to the Corrupt Trilogy and the 15th installment to the overall 𝘒𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵'𝘴 𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 series.
If have you have read books 1 and 2, 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵 𝘒𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 and 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴, you know that we are picking up book 3 on one hell of a cliffy. I honestly felt so bad for Bri and Nico, as their story just continued to be filled with mayhem. Both Bri and Nico continue on a very emotional journey as well. Some of the forced situations they find themselves in and the other from just navigating their relationship.
There were so many twists, turns, secrets, and big revelations happening throughout the conclusion. I can’t give anymore detail than that because I can’t spoil it! I will say I think the things that come to light in the end are setting it up well for the last knight to get his story.

Corrupt Union is the 15th novel in the Knights Ridge Empire Series. The story is based on Nico Cirillo and Brianna (Siren).
I love the passion between these two! They are a match made in heaven. The sadness, the passion and the friendships it all is what makes this novel/series phenomenal!! I cannot wait off the next installment within the friend group. This author has been absolutely phenomenal to read.

After that intense cliffhanger we were left with we pick up right where it ended and to say I was nervous how things playout would be a major understatement. Nico and Bri’s story has been intense from the go with their chemistry off the charts hot and yet their personalities could clash. The push and pull between these two has been something they both seem to enjoy and deep down they knew this thing would be inevitable. While Bri is trying to figure out where to go from here, Nico is doing everything he can to make things right. While there are so many twists that I didn’t see coming I was glued to this book from the start and of course the s3xy times is off the charts.

Finally! All is right in the Knights Ridge world. What a lot of drama and nail biting, and my god those twists, who suspected Big Bad Brad would take a turn like that? What a brilliant twist in the plot that certainly kept me glued to my seat.
Seeing Bri and Nico working so hard to get back to each other and supporting each other was nice, as was the ribbing they got from the rest of the gang 😂😂. The untameable Knight has been tamed, Nico met his match and realised he could have so much more fun with Bri than trying to have without her.
Now on to the final Knight … Alex!!

My 2022 started with a Deviant Knight and his MC Princess, and I can’t think of a better way to close out the year with this decadently corrupt duo. Not only did the Corrupt Trilogy end up being my favorite in the Knight’s Ridge series, but it was also my top read of the year.
Lorraine never ceases to leave me speechless, but Nico and Bri’s story was on another level. Maybe it was seeing where they began and knowing the connection they shared while they fought it at every turn. There is always emotion woven into the stories, but Nico and Bri's cut deeper. Emotions that will be with me for a while.
We saw the physical connection, and we felt the one that left no doubts that they were meant to be, but the more intense it became, the harder they fought it. I understood the reasons they had, but that did little to lessen the pain.
All the glares, cruel words, and vicious actions between them paled in comparison to the heartache that was woven into the pages of Corrupt Union. My soul felt every ounce of pain, not just what Nico and Bri felt but the whole group.
Never more has the phrase "cut one of us, we all bleed" packed as much of a punch as when reading the Corrupt Trilogy and the whole Knight’s Ridge series. Some are family by blood, once enemies who became lovers, or friends they’ve known a lifetime. It doesn’t matter how they’ve become a part of this group. What matters is that they've united to form an unstoppable force.They wield the power that comes from knowing that love and loyalty will back you at every turn.
This may sound as though I’m speaking of the series as a whole and not specifically of Nico and Bri, but that’s only partially true. It's something that bleeds through every couple’s story; it’s one of my favorite elements of this series, but it’s never been more powerful than it was inside the pages of the Corrupt Trilogy. Each addition to this group does more than bring these mafia alpha-holes to their knees; these sassy women are at the core of the strength that floods them all in the face of their enemies.
By far the most explosive conclusion and an EPIC way to end 2022 is Corrupt Union. With just one word, you'll be swept up in an impossible-to-put-down blend of searing chemistry, an alpha-hole brought to his knees, a strong heroine, unrestrained emotions bleed through every word, mindscrew twists, vengeance craving turns, and volcanically hot steam. Lorraine manages to up her game with every couple, but none hold a candle to Nico and Bri.
None of my words can do justice to everything that is Nico and Bri.
This isn’t just a series you read. This is one you live inside while you read the words, and when you reach the end, it’s the unwavering love and loyalty each and every character is instilled with that takes up residence inside you.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆ Spice: 🌶🌶🌶
Angst: 😢🥵😡
Cliffhanger? ❌️
Do I recommend? ✅️
Tropes: dark mafia romance, high school
This book picks up where the cliffhanger in the last book left us. Nico thinks his siren has finally used good sense and left him but he soon realizes that isn't the case. She has been taken. Bri forgave Nico when he didn't deserve it, she fought for them and even killed for them. She was part of his found family and they would find her no matter what it took. The blame turns to the obvious enemy but the destruction they create may be leading them into another trap. They have been so consumed in trying to win this war that they are completely blind to the obvious and are losing the battle. They don't seem to see what is right in front of them and these mistakes could destroy them all. Individually, they are strong. Together, they are invincible. They will show the world exactly what they are capable of.
Another exciting conclusion in this current trilogy. Only one more couple to go and we reach the finale of this amazing series that had me falling head over heels in love with Tracy Lorraine's creative talent. She has easily become a fast automatic one-click author for me. I fell hard for Bri and Nico. Nico's growth quickly endeared him to my heart. As usual, I was turning pages at breakneck speed, stayed perched on the edge of my seat, turned to goo from the spicy heat and was utterly addicted to the angsty plot. I highly reccommend everything this talented lady writes and this was no exception. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
She fought for us. Killed for us. She was one of us. And there was no way I was letting her go...again. But I'm not the only one with wicked intentions for my siren. With her missing, we turn our blame to an obvious enemy. But our path of destruction could be leading us right into another trap. We've been so consumed trying to win this war, that we're losing the battle. We've been oblivious to what's right in front of us. Those kinds of mistakes could destroy us. If we let them. Individually, we're strong. Bu together, we're invincible. And we're about to show the world just what we're capable of.
This is the conclusion of the Corrupt Trilogy. I don't even know how to review this book and not give something away. It does pick up after the cliffhanger in the last book with Nico and Bri still being the perfect match for each other. I loved them together so very much and the chemistry is just out of this world between them. They really grow in this book and I was loving every single second of it. I too love when we get to see characters from other books in a newer book and this one is full the Knights Ridge Empire characters. Bri as you know is a woman who has survived a lot and I really loved her strength. That's one thing this entire series has in spades...really strong female characters. Filled with twist and turns. A bunch of revelations and turning points this is certainly a book that you will not want to lay down.

Nico and Brianna!!
Who would have thought the forever playboy Nico could be tamed? This trilogy which outlines their love story, was an epic one. Brianna and Nico have been through so much, and they are at their happily ever after in book 3.
Book 2, Corrupt Princess, ended on a massive cliffhanger with Brianna nowhere to be found. For some reason, I knew who to suspect from the start of book 3; there was something about him in the other books that raised red flags.
Nico is out of his mind with Bri missing. I enjoyed how Tracy took us through his stages of grief; it was very relatable. So yes, Nico is very much human, and he has feelings. :)
Bri and Nico show so much growth individually that their relationship working now will not be such a difficult stretch. We also learn much more about Brianna in Corrupt Union, her past, some of her trauma etc. Now we can understand what made Brianna into the woman she is.
I loved this couple!!!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Action-packed, Entertaining
Happily Ever After, Page-turner
Romantic, Steamy
Twisted
Unpredictable
Wonderful characters

The finale for Nico and Brianna’s story. This trilogy was really good, filled with drama, angst, and lots of “special” times! Lol.
We start off right where Corrupt Princess left us… with the note from Brianna. Nico is heartbroken, completely devastated. Once he comes to his senses and Jodie assures him that she would never leave, the gang is on the search to find her.
Brianna wakes up completely unaware of where she is and what has happened, but when she realizes who has taken her anger and confusion sets in as she learns more of her past.
Great conclusion! I just wish these stories would be culled down some…. By the time book three for each story rolls around it starts to feel a little repetitive.
Only one left… ALEX!!! Can’t wait for his story.

NOTE: this review is for my own personal remembrance, it may not make sense because it’s just for my own brain. Feel free to read if you’d like tho :) there will be spoilers!!!!!!!
Absolutely ecstatic! Gah, I love them just like I love all of the others. I knew there’d be marriage for them as soon as I saw the title corrupt union, and I’m so happy I was right. It did not go how I thought tho, at all, and I’m so happy about that. A HARRIS?!?! Holy shiza… it took me a good five minutes to remember who he was, but when I finally did…ohmygad. I am so excited to see if anything happens with this in her future books. Do we see the Harris boys come to London? Does she go to them? Will we see them in knights ridge empire or will it be in a different series? Or will it not happen at all? IM SO EXCITED to see where she takes it!!!!!
And ALEX!!!!….I NEED HIS STORY LIKE RIGHT NOW! My guess is his vixen is Luciana. Right when she was introduced, I thought it could be her and him just for ships and giggles, but the ending…was my off comment laughing moment actually RIGHT?! Won’t be disappointed if it is wrong, but dang, imagine?!?! Also, kinda sad that the thruple between him, Isla, and Ant is not to be. I thought that also would’ve been such a fun twist! IM SO EXCITED to see where all of this goes😃😃😃

❤️5/5 🌶5/5 ☠️4/5
Everlasting ending
I never thought that I could get hooked by Nico, after Daemon and Callies story.
But here we are and I have to say, a wonderful piece of work.
It starts on a high level with that cliffhanger from the previous book. Were we suspicious about the "who" question, did we get our confirmation. But with a whole different reason than I imagined.
On one side, Nico Fights for his siren, and on the other Bri Fights for herself.
In the end it doesn't matter, do they fight for the same thing.
”Fuck, babe. I’m so fucking sorry it took us so long. I’ve been a fucking mess without you.”
So after 30% in, it goes hit on hit. Our gang gets confronted with news on every corner. And let's face it, some are really tough shit. In true Cirillo Style they work it out as a Team, as always. This time with a lot of Backup.
Sometimes the real family is the one you chose or the one that found you and not the one by blood. It only matters who cares, loves and protects the ones that are a part of it.
I loved fierce Bri who was open to all the possibilities she fought against or went against her sights.
The way he claimed me, owned me, made me promises of forever. It makes my body light up from the inside.
I loved devoted Nico who was able to confess, accept and show his feelings.
I hope to read about them in the last three books from time to time to see how they went on. A few questions stayed but nothing too deep.
Now I am more than curious and willing to read Alex's story. Thought I figured his opposite out, but it seems I was teached a lesson. Well done, Tracy. Bring it on.

Everlasting ending
I never thought that I could get hooked by Nico, after Daemon and Callies story.
But here we are and I have to say, a wonderful piece of work.
It starts on a high level with that cliffhanger from the previous book. Were we suspicious about the "who" question, did we get our confirmation. But with a whole different reason than I imagined.
On one side, Nico Fights for his siren, and on the other Bri Fights for herself.
In the end it doesn't matter, do they fight for the same thing.
”Fuck, babe. I’m so fucking sorry it took us so long. I’ve been a fucking mess without you.”
So after 30% in, it goes hit on hit. Our gang gets confronted with news on every corner. And let's face it, some are really tough shit. In true Cirillo Style they work it out as a Team, as always. This time with a lot of Backup.
Sometimes the real family is the one you chose or the one that found you and not the one by blood. It only matters who cares, loves and protects the ones that are a part of it.
I loved fierce Bri who was open to all the possibilities she fought against or went against her sights.
The way he claimed me, owned me, made me promises of forever. It makes my body light up from the inside.
I loved devoted Nico who was able to confess, accept and show his feelings.
I hope to read about them in the last three books from time to time to see how they went on. A few questions stayed but nothing too deep.
Now I am more than curious and willing to read Alex's story. Thought I figured his opposite out, but it seems I was teached a lesson. Well done, Tracy. Bring it on.

✨ ARC REVIEW✨
This picks up right where the last book ended with Nico thinking that Brianna left him. Once Toby and Jodie get there they finally convince him that she wasn’t lying about giving him a chance and that if she is gone something terrible has happened. Brianna wakes up in a room with an attached bathroom filled with her belongings. She is feeling groggy still from whatever drugs her kidnapper gave her. She doesn’t quite understand who took her and why they are keeping her in such a nice room. It isn’t until her kidnapper makes himself known the Brianna realizes she is in serious trouble. She is pretty sure Nico and the guys will come save her, but the longer she is kept hostage, the more doubt creeps in. Will Nico save Brianna before her kidnapper breaks her and will they be able to be together. This is the 15th book in the Knight’s Ridge Empire series and the final book in the Nico and Bri love story. This book is much darker than any of the other books and had me on the edge of my seat. I absolutely am in love with the man Nico has turned into and feel like his character has had the most development and change out of all the guys in the series. I cannot wait to see whose story we get next!

This is the third and final book in the Corrupt Trilogy, and the 15th book in the Knight's Ridge Empire series. The prior 2 books in this trilogy each left us on brutal cliffhangers, so I wasn't really sure what to expect on this book honestly.
Of course, we picked right up where we left off in Corrupt Princess. Bri and Nico just CANNOT catch a break. I was getting so aggravated with it honestly. Like seriously how much can two people take before they just say…You know what? Eff this! - end scene. I probably would have. I guess they're made of tougher stuff than I am.
I am really not sure that there is a HEA. It "seems" like a HEA, but at the same time I feel like I should be suspicious. Plus, the twisty turning way that we got to the end made me kiiiinda wary about what I was reading. I hope you don't get too upset with my super vague review, but if I went into detail I'd be giving away too much in the spoiler department and that's just not my jam.
Always check the TW/CW:

Bri & Nico ~3.5 Stars~
These two ended up being so much better than I imagined. God how the mighty Nico has fallen for his siren but I’m so here for it. This final book for them felt sweet even buried under that spice and an action packed plot. The fire between them never let up and he fought so hard for her throughout it all. I loved that she was by his side at the big moments too and Bri is a baddie. Not as much as Emmie and Stella but still can take care of herself. Such a great ending for these two!

Okay, who’s ready to cry their eyes out? We have made it to the conclusion of Nico and Brianna’s story, and nope I’m not ready (but I am ready) for Alex’s story. Am I going to cry after that, oh most definitely! 😭😭
In the conclusion to Nico and Brianna’s story. Holy! There’s a lot that happens in this book. There’s heartbreak, happiness, sadness, put your heart back together moments, and of course, what the flock moments. I love how it always keeps you on your toes, and us trying to figure out what is going to happen next. Revenge is a huge key in this book. The spice - whew! 😮💨 These two together. I can’t wait to see what more goes on between them, because we know every couple’s story isn’t truly over after their last book. 😉 And that’s where I am leaving this. This one, you NEED to read.
I also need to say the following….
The girls — still badarse as always! Calli is still my girl! And I’m including Jocelyn in this too! 🤍
Daemon & Alex — I seriously love the serious and hilarious parts with them together. 🖤
Rhea — We NEED her to have a book. 😉🤣
But I have to tell y’all there’s a scene in this book that I was dying laughing, and you kind of don’t see coming.. but Uncle Damien. 🤣🤣

Corrupt Union was a great conclusion to the Corrupt trilogy of the Knight’s Ridge Empire series. I have waited so long for Bri and Nico to find happiness and completion that this trilogy has become one of my favorites right after the first trilogy of the series. After all the twists and turns, our couple finally recognizes the true need for each other and accept that they are soulmates. Of course, by that time, I was misty eyed and swooning like a f00l, which entertained my daughter to no end. If you haven’t started the series, definitely pick up the first book Wicked Knight and go on from there, following the release order because the timeline means something and each relationship builds on one another. Definitely a worthy series to have in your personal library.

This is the end of the three part story of Brianna and Nico and there is a very Nice HEA and there I a lot of action and lot of smutty goings on before we get there. I really liked how the story turned out.

🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Nico was finally getting everything he never knew he wanted.
Was it twisted? Yes.
Was it beautiful? Hell yes.
Everything was perfect.
Until he found that note.
Corrupt union is the final installment in Nico and Bri’s trilogy.
After 2 masterfully crafted cliffhangers, Tracy Lorraine delivers an epic conclusion to a story we’ve been witnessing from the sidelines for a long time.
Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, I was wrong. And when I thought I knew where it was going again, I was wrong… Again.
Knights Ridge Empire has consumed my entire year. Admittedly, Nico was never my favorite character, but I’ve always loved Brianna’s fiery spirit.
I can honestly say it has been such an enjoyable experience watching Nico grow into the soldier he was trained to be but even more so, a fierce and unwavering pillar in his family.
We all knew how it would end. We’ve been watching these two for a long time, but boy, was it one hell of a ride.
They both deserve their happily ever after.
And now, I sit and impatiently wait for Alex’s story.

Oh my….so my first thought after reading the epilogue was “darn, I was hoping Art, Isla, and Alex would be the next couple (or is it throuple?) but it sounds like Alex has another interest.” But the next l though is “damn, do I love Tracy Lorraine’s books” Tracy did an amazing job with Corrupt Union as always. All of her books are always filled with lots of twists, turns, things going sideways, drama, angst, characters that are so vivid that you can relate to, all the feels, and sooo sooo hot 🔥🔥🔥. Tracy is one of my favorite authors and Corrupt Union is just the latest example of why. Corrupt Union should be read after Corrupt Knight and Corrupt Princess respectively to get the full story. I loved the whole trilogy, Corrupt. I can’t wait to read what Tracy will write next. If the ending of Corrupt Union is any indication it will be Alex’s story next with someone he calls Vixen. Alex is the last one standing from the Cirillo family. Then if we are lucky we will move onto the Mariano family with Ant, Enzo, and Matteo. Anyway, I highly recommend Corrupt Union, Corrupt trilogy, and Tracy Lorraine as an author. Readers will definitely not be disappointed. Happy Reading!!

Tracy has once again finished off another phenomenally superb trilogy leaving us feeling oh so satisfied. This was the much anticipated conclusion to Nico and Brianna’s story and it was just as thrilling and on edge as the first two books.
We pick right where Tracy left us with Nico thinking the worst and Brianna waking up from being drugged and kidnapped. This final book has all the twists and turns and all the darkness you desire. Secrets will be revealed and we get all the answers we need to finally give us peace. These two were such a perfect match and their chemistry was absolutely off the charts. I was so glad when everything came together for them and they got their HEA. These two had some serious character growth especially Nico and it was absolutely amazing.
This was another fantastic trilogy to the Knights Ridge Empire. Can’t wait for the final Knights story and where Tracy will take us with it. Highly recommend this and all the other Knights stories.

Corrupt Union is the final book in the Corrupt Trilogy and finally Nico is forced to confront his feelings for Brianna if they're ever going to have a future together. Nico for me is a very paranoid character but in his work he has every need to be.
Brianna also had uge doubts her and Nico could have a trusting relationship but recent events and knowing he would do anything for her and them if only the plot doesn't keep thickening but I had my faith in them both.
A powerful and intense storyline I've loved the darkness if this Trilogy which are some of the best books to come from the amazing Tracy Lorraine.

After having read Corrupt Knight and Corrupt Princess i couldn’t wait for more! I started looking forward to this third installment as soon as i reached the end of Corrupt Princess. I picked it up and got right back into this world. I so enjoyed this third book!
Brianna and Nico’s journey continues! This couple and their story captured my attention right from the get go again. After everything that Brianna and Nico have been through, can they fight for one another and against everything thrown their way?
I really liked how the ball got rolling quickly. Theirs isn’t an easy journey and this installment had me on the edge of my seat, wondering how it’d all play out. Once again, Both Brianna and Nico had me going through many emotions from start to finish and kept me on my toes!
With Corrupt Union, Ms.Lorraine has created such a good and dark continuation that kept me turning the pages! I am so looking forward to reading what this author releases next!

Picking up where we last left off in the second book, we get to dive you to Nico and Brianna’s story. This was a great conclusion that was an emotional roller coaster from the start that I had a hard time putting down. They overcame many obstacles throughout their story and I loved how strong she was throughout the book. I cannot wait for the next book..
I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

December ARC Reading & Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Corrupt Union
Knight Ridge Empire #15
Authour: Tracy Lorraine
"We align and fit together perfectly. It's terrified me in the past. The thought of being the other half of someone’s whole was not a concept I was willing to admit existed. But lying here now, none of that seems quite so scary."
“I promise you. I will always come for you. I will always rescue you. I will always catch you.”
Tracy never disappoints after a cliffhanger and this story is no different. We pick up where the last book left off and let me tell you I was worried for these two. Nico was stuck in a downward spiral, it wasn't looking good. But all in good time he figured his shit out and went after his girl.
These two were meant for each other and I enjoyed the journey they went on to realize this about each other. Nico surprised me a lot in this last book even though I did get a glimpse of this new Nico in book 2. Nico had a lot of growing up to do in these three books and he was able to achieve that and more. Even his Siren had some things to work through too, but they have each other and man the chemistry.
The Cirillo men really know how to teach and talk to their women once they get their heads out of their asses.
It's bittersweet finishing Nico's story because we only have one Knight Ridge guy left and then it's over.

OMG this series is phenomenal, and I can't get enough. Tracy Lorraine captivates you and pulls you into the world of Knights Ridge Empire and you don't want to leave. Nico and Bri's story has been a one crazy adventure. These two have been emotionally stunted due to past trauma's and always have felt it best to not have a relationship. when these two finally get together she disappears, and he is beyond distraught trying to find. her. There are so many twists that will have your mind scrambling to figure out what is happening. I absolutely loved how Nico became the man he was always supposed to be, and Bri became the women that can stand firm beside him. She becomes one bad A** character that is fit to be Nico's queen. These two have the most incredible chemistry and when she needs the comfort, he is right there taking care of her. You can't go wrong with this series it has everything you will want and so much more. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.
