They're both kinky and primitive, and they go into some territory that a lot of books with BDSM in them steer away from in order to keep the masses from turning on them in their ignorance). There's so much more to it that we don't know at first, and it all makes sense in the end. If it bothers you in the beginning, keep going. This is a dark book with somewhat dubious consent being thrown into the mix at times but it's obvious that there's much more that we don't know from the beginning and I could feel the chemistry between Elsa and Aiden from the first moment she talks about seeing him at school.

Not only is the story-line absolutely gripping in and of itself, but the sexiness is off the charts! Shane East and Keira Stevens were made for this series and I can't imagine any other narrators doing these books the justice they've done them. I come across gems like this very rarely in the dark romance genre this book is the real deal, it is no pretender and holds no punches! It's a book that's both unpredictable yet doesn't keep you completely in the dark just to keep pumping out books for cash (the author kindly leaves some breadcrumbs for you to put the puzzle together as more information is revealed without giving away all the nitty gritty details). I have the option to read the rest, but I CAN'T do that now that I know how F***ING perfect Shane East's voice fits with his character and how amazing Keira's voice was too, and I would just end up frustrated I couldn't listen to it.

The premise sounded too good and it's two of my favorite things mixed together: dark romance/anti-hero with a kinky sadistic streak and a bully to lovers romance. while I don't usually buy an audiobook until I know I can binge the whole series one after another, I couldn't help myself. I was not disappointed in the LEAST though. I'll preface this review by telling anyone that hasn't read the book yet that it might be smart to hold off until the rest of the series is available because I'm nearly pulling my hair out over here since I decided that I HAD to hear this book right away and couldn't hold. This book is part of a trilogy and is not a stand-alone. So please don’t listen to this if any of that bothers you. This is a dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some listeners might find offensive. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.ĭeviant King is book one of Royal Elite Series. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. One glance and he issues his death sentence. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke.

Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.
