Vicious Prince by Rina KentMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Vicious Prince is book 5 in the Royal Elite series by Rina Kent. This time the story focuses on the ever-smiling Ronan and Teal. If you have been reading this series, you have been introduced to Ronan and Teal in previous books. Ronan always seems to have a smile on his face, is quick witted and a typical playboy, but beneath the surface there is more going on and it is only through the story that we see him develop into a more rounded character, especially when he comes up against Teal, the slightly odd and unfeeling girl who has put herself in Ronan’s cross-hairs by agreeing to marry Ronan in a bid to make her and his father’s working relationship stronger.
From the first page, you are captured by the relationship that is Ronan and teal as well as the secrets that both of them are hiding. Ronan is going to do his darndest to break Teal and the engagement, but teal has come across worse things than Ronan and gives it back to him two-fold. There was certainly a lot going on in this book, not only from previous characters that we have met but also within Teal and Ronan’s relationship. Although it blew hot and cold, you can actually see the moment that both of them realise how much they like and want each other.
As with previous books there is a lot of twists and turns in why characters are the way they are and what level they will go to, to get answers, truth and closure. I particularly liked the relationship that Ronan had with his mother and Lars and we ‘again’ are left with more questions in regards to Cole and what his story is.
There is a lot of slow burning, steamy scenes within this book as well as some softer moments when Teal is learning to become more emotional. This was a beautifully written story yet it may not be for everyone and may have some triggers which will affect other readers.
Overall, another great read in a really great series.
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review 😊
