*Check triggers before reading*

Crowned picks up where book one ended and Lilia is enjoying her life post the pageant. However, her past catches up with her and she finds herself fighting for her life yet again. This story is filled with plot twists, romance, great spice, and backstories that will pull at your heartstrings.

I loved this book and I couldn't be more obsessed with this duet. Lilia is my favorite part of this duet. She outsmarts all the men in this book every chance she gets, she's sarcastic, witty, and strong. Also, she makes the men grovel and I'll always love a heroine that knows her worth.

Listen, these men are bad people and we shouldn't even remotely like them. BUT, I couldn't help but fall so deeply in love with them. Did they do horrible things? Yes. But are they somehow sweet, loving, caring, and wonderful? Also yes. Lilith did such a great job of getting me to love them that there were multiple times I was like, "Well, what they did wasn't really THAT bad." 🀦🏻‍♀️πŸ˜‚

The spice was really good in this book, especially the group scenes. I loveeee DVP and breeding, so this really hit for me. Kirill is filthy and we love filthy men πŸ₯΅πŸ˜

Thank you to Lilith and Give Me Books for the ARC!

*The description comes directly from Amazon's website*

A twisted game gone too far. A woman on the run. Three men who won’t stop hunting.

The pageant has ended, but for us, the game has only just begun.

Konstantin, Elyah, and Kirill made my life a living hell during the pageant, and now I’m going to return the favor.

They want me and the secret I’m carrying, but they’ll have to prove they’re worthy before I let them call me their queen. It won’t be easy when their pasts come back to haunt us. Pasts that are soaked in blood.

The chase is on, and this time, the prize is more precious than diamonds.

The prize is my heart.

Author’s note: Crowned (Pageant, 2) is the final book in a mafia reverse harem duet. The heroes only have hearts, eyes, and dicks for the heroine. It contains dark themes, violence, and a Why Choose romance with ruthlessly possessive men. The story is potentially triggering, so please read responsibly.

I loved how connected Isabel and Drake were in their friendship before they were together. When he called her his g...

Now if you've been around for awhile or been on my bookstagram (@readwithevelane), you know that I've reviewed Katee's books before (Neon Gods and Electric Idol). In those reviews, I've mentioned how much of a fan of hers I am, particularly because of her A Touch of Taboo series. This is the book that introduced me to Katee Robert as an author. Someone talked about this book on Tiktok back in April 2021 and I decided to buy it to see what the hype was about. I w...

Swan is a book wizard because all of her books that I've read are amazing, but this one blew me out of the water. I'm still coming down from the rollercoaster of emotions I had while reading this book. I completely devoured it and it definitely did not feel like it was 548 pages long. This is probably going to be a top read of mine for the year. I know it's only March, but I can just feel it. I promise that this story is not what it seems at first and I need you to listen to me when I say, "Trust the process." You won't be disappointed. If you haven't read The Italian, I highly recommend it. It's not necessarily required, but I think it gives context for Ferrara. Also, you might be able to...
