There’s only one rule: my rules or none at all.
By all means, show me what you got, sweetheart.

This book honestly made me a little embarrassed to be a women. For the fact that the heroine was a complete and utter moron, plus the fact that the author is an adult woman choosing to write her characters like this, and plus the fact that I’m an adult woman choosing my time to read this.
Literally the entire book was the h screaming, whimpering, and stuttering... and bending over whenever the H wanted her to. One of the most pathetic, obtuse, and one dimensional characters I’ve ever read. It was tolerable in the first book, and infuriating in the second. Will not be continued with this series.

Possessiveness, jealousy and some major revelations!
This book was every bit as good as I had hoped it would be. Every book in this series gets better, from Cruel King, to Deviant King and Now Steel Princess. Rina Kent published her first book this year and she will have published something like 11 books by the end of 2019. I think I have rated every one of her books 5 stars. I love that she has strong possessive men as the Hero’s and even stronger women who are not afraid to stand up to them.
I don’t know why possessiveness and Jealousy is so hot in romance novels, and so disturbing and controlling in real life, but I just love a possessive guy in a romance. In this book, Aiden is extremely jealous and possessive and way over the top about it. He even doesn’t like his best friends or his cousin to touch her. Though Elsa stands up to him and lets him know when he is out of line or she laughs at him when he is being excessive.
Aiden is a sociopath, so his bullying and then later his possessive nature can be explained by the fact that he doesn’t feel empathy and can’t understand why she would want to have male friends, since she has him. Elsa is aware that he feels something for her, and she also displays some jealousy and possessiveness towards Aiden. And though Elsa is more justified in her feelings than Aiden is, the jealousy is a bit exaggerated in her as well.
The main characters are in high school, but this is definitely an erotic romance. The heat level between Aiden and Elsa is off the charts, five flames out of five 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Like I said, Aiden is a sociopath and he is extremely dominant. There may be triggers for some people. The love scenes are incredibly steamy and there are times when he gets jealous and things start out in anger. Though both Aiden and Elsa can’t seem to resist each other.
Like in Deviant King, there are a lot of people that have secrets, mostly the secrets are about the period of Elsa’s life that her subconscious mind has blocked from her. The time before her parents were killed in a fire at their house. Also like the previous book, the reader doesn’t find out anything more about the secrets than Elsa. Elsa continues to have nightmares and she is remembering bits about the past as the book progresses, but she is desperate to learn what happened in her past and she feels that Aiden knows something but won’t tell her.
The book also has the rest of the Four Horsemen, Xander Knight, Cole Nash and Ronan Astor as well as Elsa’s best friend Kimmie. There is also a new student, a guy named Knox who transferred from another private school. Aiden’s ex hookup Ginger and his father Jonathan play big roles in this book as do Elsa’s Aunt and Uncle that raised her. All the supporting characters are well developed and add to the story. Everyone has secrets, some were revealed in the story, and some still remain. Of course there was a spectacular cliffhanger so now there are more items that need to be answered in the next book. 😲😮😬.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

King has no filter whatsoever. He treats you like I’ve never seen him treat anyone else.”
“And how is that?”
“Like he wants to shield you from the world. I don’t think you even notice it, but sometimes, he looks at you like he can’t breathe without you. And believe me, that’s not the King everyone knows.”

“I know I don’t take it easy on you. I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m not. I can’t control myself with you, Elsa. I tried and it’s impossible.” He grins. “I can, however, run you baths and give you massages.”

I didn't enjoy this one like I enjoyed the first one.
Which is sad.
This one felt very...messy. And redundant. Way too many scenes felt like they were replicas of each other and the same push/pull pattern played out between Elsa and Aiden over and over again...the same set of circumstances, within similar scenes, with almost identical results...zero plot momentum.
What soured me the most though was Elsa's hypocrisy, which is hard to explain without spoilers and which I am too lazy to do at the moment anyway.
In short: this book felt like filler.
Everything that was achieved in this book (which wasn't all that much) could have probably been tacked onto book one or book three. Obviously, I haven't read book three yet, but I'm still fairly confident that will be the case. Frankly, this series probably should have been a duet (or even just one complete book...remember those blissful days?); but trilogies (and then later duets) were the trend at the time this was written. So I'm guessing this was stretched out in order out to hit that format.
Anyway, despite not loving this, I am still going to sally forth and finish the series. I am still interested in the story and I have faith the next installment will be better.

“If it were anyone else, I would’ve finished you. Is that what you want, Elsa? Hmm?”
Can you please stop threatening her. It's annoying and it happened many times that now it doesn't have any effect on me anymore.
She was right there, bound, and spread for me. She glanced up at me with tears,anger and fear in her eyes, and it took all my self-restraint to leave. Because at that moment? I was tempted to make her cry more.
How romantic, isn't it?
She’s always ready for a fight.
This is complete bullshit. Every time Aidan touches her she gets horny and lets him do whatever he wants. I don't understand how she is a fighter.
He pulls at my nipple and I’m a goner. It’s like I can’t control my body when he touches me.
See, how she is always ready to fight him?
She’s the strongest person I know.
Yes, what a fighter she is. In the whole book, all she does is crying, whimpering, and getting assaulted by Aiden
The only good thing about this book is the plot twist and clifhanger at the end.

most boring shit I ever read 😵💫
I don’t think I can name a single thing I actually enjoyed about this book. aiden? still a disgusting pig. elsa? a stupid bitch for falling for the disgusting pig. their storyline sucks and this was literally 90% smut. they do not deserve three books, they don’t even deserve 1. im flying through it only bc im skimming + just wanting to get it over with already. ughhhhh

Devils can't be redeemed. Devils can only crash and burn. He said he'll destroy me, and he did. It's time to destroy him back.
first of all, what the ever loving hell was that ending?! i need to know what happens next! i can't wait for another month ugh.
so yes, this does end in a cliffhanger... again. but that's smart actually because i wanna keep reading this series.
this starts off when Elsa (h) found out that Aiden (H) was "playing" her the whole time and now she has vowed to knock him off his throne and finally win the whole game. but does it work? lol nope.
characters:
— Elsa Quinn/Steel (h): traumatized, strong, desperately wants to know what happened in the past, trying to ignore and reject Aiden but she kinda has the "betraying body" element, though, i don't mind this because i don't hate Aiden and she's self-aware.
— Aiden King (H): a Slytherin, still fucking crazy and wouldn't be surprised if he was actually a sociopath, evil mastermind in disguise, and kinky af.
"Being enemies doesn't change the fact that you're fucking mine.
anyways, even though i liked this i was just slightly disappointed because of some aspects so lets move on to why i didn't give this a higher rating...
SPOILER talk:
↠ nothing really happened in the first half.
i really thought it was gonna be Aiden vs Elsa but nah. Aiden just used his "charms" to win Elsa over and she kinda fell for it pretty easily. she restrained for a bit but again, "betraying body" and all that. but again, this trope was surprisingly not annoying here.
↠ too much steam in the beginning.
i know, i know. you're probably wondering what the hell mel? this is romance, of course there's gonna be a lot of steam. yes, i understand but if the sex scenes start to feel like filler? then yeah...
i was looking forward to the story aspect of this book because of the major cliffhanger in the previous book but the first half was repetitive because all that happened was Elsa rejects Aiden, Aiden says no and makes Elsa horny, they have sex, repeat. this went on and on. some of the sex scenes didn't even have purpose or offer any progression to the story but don't worry, the story picked up in the last half.
↠ the OW talk.
there were a lot of mentions about Aiden's past sex life and how he apparently lost his virginity to his dad's secretary when he was 15 and when he's apparently kinky af and did threesomes with his friend Cole. i didn't mind this as much but honestly, this didn't progress the story and not that important in my opinion.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
anyways, the first half felt like filler because of the repetitive scenarios but im so glad there were so many mysteries that came to light and i really can't wait to read Elsa and Aiden's conclusion AND Kim and Xavier's book.
and what is up with Cole?? he's shady as hell.

there are moments when it feels like some men just shouldn't have rights at all.
December 11, 2019
I am usually not a huge fan of one couple's story being drug out over more than two books. The second book almost always feels like a filler book, but this one was quite good. The story progressed nicely. There were a few good revelations that kept things interesting. Quite a bit of angst and hot sex, all good things. 👍👍
That said, there was also a couple niggles for me. One, I am VERY over the Silver OW drama. If the hero hadn't slept with her in the past, it wouldn't bother me as much. Two, the whole conversation about the hero's past sex life. I have been over the teenage manwhore for a while now. The conversation added nothing to the story, and mostly just made me roll my eyes that some 15-year-old virgin would bend a maid (I think it was a maid) over a counter and go at her like he was auditioning for a role in a porn movie. 😔 Again, if the heroine hadn't been a virgin in the first book and had her own sex stories, it wouldn't have been an issue.
So overall, this was an enjoyable read. A couple personal preference issues, but I am looking forward to see how this all plays out in the third book! 👍

—— spoiler free review
OMG OMG OMG!! what the hell happened!!, i swear my reaction when i finished this book was 😳.
RINA DO YOU REALLY LET A BOOK END LIKE THIS?!?!, i literally can't believe it, i had read several reviews and they all said they ended with a great ending, but damn, i didn't think it was that great. (i finished this book a few hours ago and i'm still really shocked).
now i'm going to have to run out and buy the next book because i really want to know how it ends. 🤸🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
my thoughts:
- if i'm being completely honest i was a little worried about aiden and elsa getting 3 books for their story because i thought it would drag on, but it certainly didn't, the pacing of their past, present and future was done really well!
i'm glad there was a double pov but most of all to see aiden's progress because as much as i love him i was worried that his crazy manipulation of elsa would pass the point of redemption and turn him into an absolute psychopath, but there's a reason behind it all that actually makes sense!
the story:
- elsa starts to have fragments of memories from the past, she needs to know the truth and aiden knows something but doesn't reveal the secrets. sometimes it can be frustrating, especially because aiden doesn't tell the whole story at once, but prefers to tell a little piece at a time. (sometimes even saying just one sentence 😫). by doing this elsa tries in every way to connect the pieces of the puzzle together, but not remembering her past, she really struggles.
- i wanted to know what the story of elsa's past was so much that at a certain point i thought about skipping everything and going to the end of the book.
some things that i really liked:
1. the suspense: i swear it's there in practically every chapter, once you start one you'll want to finish it right away.
2. aiden: it could be the best reason hahaha, but i liked it above all because compared to the first book he let himself go more, he made himself known better and decided to break down his walls to make elsa the queen of his chessboard.
3. the writing: i think that saying that i fell in love with rika's writing is an understatement.
4. the love story: i think there really is a love story in this book, because here you can see how much elsa and aiden love each other and above all that they will always be there for each other.
- THE TITLE OF THE BOOK THEN!!, i really couldn't think why rina had chosen that title, but then reading the last chapter the little pieces of the puzzle all came together (a bit like elsa). rina i swear you are a genius!

Oh god Rina Kent you keep dropping bombs at the end of the book, thank god I don't have to wait for ths next book or else this suspence would have made me crazy!
Another stunning book, better than the first. The story continues with hate, deception and love. I'm enchanted by this wicked series.
Aiden and Elsa's romance is no vanilla love; there is deep possession and obsession. Elsa starts to have snippets of memories from the past, she needs to know the truth and Aiden knows something but won't give up the secrets easily. He can be frustating at times. He is throwing scraps of information not only to Elsa but the readers. At one point I thought to skip everything and run to the end of the book. I applaud the author to keep this book suspenceful. Aiden is sick and shameless and Elsa can't help but be attracted to him. Aiden's secret motives creates doubts in Elsa.
This book was absolutely thrilling. It has lots of sex, kinks and revelations of many secrets. When I thought I had enough of the books suspense the author goes and dumps a huge cliffhanger. On to the next book.

She thinks she knows.
She thinks she has an idea of who I am.
Truth is, she’s so fucking clueless I’d pity her if I knew how to pity people.

Sex, sex, sex and more sex! It’s getting old man! Get to the goddamn story! Like what’s the point of this series? So many secrets but the author won’t give us shit! All she does is give us sex! Like give me a break. Who has that much of sex and just unreal. King made me fucking hate the word sweetheart and come to think of it, what teenager uses sweetheart ??? Like who? This series had so much potential, and the ending to book one was sooo good that it got me crazy to know what’s gonna happen. And what happened was utter garbage.

★★☆☆☆ 2/5 Story
★★★☆☆ 3/5 Spice
✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) ༉ Warning : This review contains minor plot spoilers! Read at your own risk.
Steel Princess is the second book in the Aiden Elsa trilogy, and unfortunately, I did not really care for this book at all until quite literally the last ~20 pages. I quite enjoyed the first book, it set up a premise for the second one that it didn't quite meet during the entire read. I'll be skipping character descriptions since I already formed those opinions in the first books review, and it didn't really change in this one, and what did will just be elaborated through my review rant.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
This book lacked a plot. The first one set up everything Steel Princess needed to show growth and development for our main characters, Aiden and Elsa, for their trauma and relationship. We did not get that at all in this book.
First of all, Elsa is genuinely stupid. And annoying. And she really did nothing of substance in this book. All she did this entire book was 1) start petty fights and arguments with Aiden and 2) have sex with Aiden. That's it. She offered nothing in terms of personal growth, entertainment, or just... anything, really.
This book was pure smut rather than story or development and the actual plot we did get in this book could've been added into the third one, Twisted Kingdom, and added probably only 30ish pages. This was a long book with nothing new until the end.
The end? Incredible. I was genuinely not expecting anything that we got there. I gasped so much I thought I sucked all of the air out in my bedroom at 1 in the morning. I didn't want to stop and wanted to jump straight into the third book, and I did. But the major twist at the end wasn't enough to save the hot mess that was the other 99% of the book, and that's really disappointing.
I don't really want to delve too much into this book for the review, because I would just be talking in circles considering there was really nothing happening in this one so I will just call it there with my rants.
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
2/5 for the story, those two stars which are here solely for the plot twists at the end. 3/5 for the spice, it's lower than the first book because it genuinely got boring how much sex was happening in this book. Where is their growth? Where is their relationship development? Why is it just sex, sex, and more sex? Oh, did I mention, they have sex a lot? Yeah! That's this entire book for you! I don't think we went a single page in this book where Elsa wasn't instigating Aiden, promptly followed by sex. It gets repetitive.
Mediocre read.

But the major twist at the end wasn't enough to save the hot mess that was the other 99% of the book, and that's really disappointing.
I don't really want to delve too much into this book for the review, because I would just be talking in circles considering there was really nothing happening in this one so I will just call it there with my rants.
“Loving me is a one-way road, sweetheart. You can never go back. You can never fall out of love or any of that shit. It’s permanent and it’s for life.”
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
2/5 for the story, those two stars which are here solely for the plot twists at the end. 3/5 for the spice, it's lower than the first book because it genuinely got boring how much sex was happening in this book. Where is their growth? Where is their relationship development? Why is it just sex, sex, and more sex? Oh, did I mention, they have sex a lot? Yeah! That's this entire book for you! I don't think we went a single page in this book where Elsa wasn't instigating Aiden, promptly followed by sex. It gets repetitive.
Mediocre read.

Okay so wtf Aidan.
Can he calm down and maybe show a bit of emotions starting with the first chapter.
I keep having to tell myself that they are 18 because they act like 30yo mafia leaders that rule the world.
a bit cringey

You’re so damn lucky I like you enough to fuck up everything for you
Tropes in this book: sports, high school, bully, non-con/dub-con.
Yet another cliffhanger I didn't sign up for. I'd really love to get Aiden-Elsa's books but why does it have to be split into 3 different books, where do I get my funds from???? Especially with the new and pretty alternate covers.
THIS IS NOT SPOILER FREE
The book continued from the previous cliffhanger where we found out that Elsa's parents are the cause of Aiden's mother dying. She also overhears Aiden's father saying:
The only reason Aiden approached that monster is to make her pay for her parents’ sinwhich completely throws her off and she starts to hate him. She makes Aiden jealous and ignores him to her best ability:
After all, it takes a monster to destroy a monsterOf course Aiden wouldn't not retaliate back and he does so, sexually:
He thrusts a finger inside me, and I close my eyes against the intrusive sensation. “Hmm, you’re not soaking today.” He thrusts another finger as if punishing me. “Why aren’t you as wet as usual, sweetheart? Do you feel wronged?”
He makes me taste him. Taste what I did to him. This time, he doesn’t let me go. He makes me feel it over and over againThe more he does that, the more Elsa becomes weaker while Aiden doesn't give a shit about it:
Tears fall on my cheeks and my heart aches so much that I can’t breathe or speak. He takes his sweet time tasting them before he licks my bottom lip and bites it into his mouthbecause it's one monster against another.
With all the drama going on, Elsa's nightmares start increasing and she gets more flashbacks and it brings out some violent tendencies in her:
There’s always been darkness inside me. I fought it. I denied it. The time has come to embrace itespecially when Silver tries to parade Aiden infront of her:
The urge to go in there and smash her face to the metal overwhelms meand she actually beats Elsa into a pulp (good for her because I was starting to think she's just words). It's a constant push and pull between Elsa and Aiden because they can't stop provoking one another:
Break for me, sweetheartand Elsa doesn't really does anything about it:
The side that takes without boundaries. The side that only leaves havoc in his wakebecause she starts to have doubts:
Why does he fuck me like he’ll die if he doesn’t? Why does he soothe me after my nightmares like he doesn’t like to see me hurt?
Aiden's possessiveness though? It's on a tier of its own. His words don't seem like it's out of a student to be honest:
"Being mine isn’t a choice,” he says in that scarily calm tone. “It’s a fucking reality.”
You can fight me on anything, but you don’t get to fight me on the fact that you’re mineand when he gets jealous?
He had his hand on her. He had his fucking hands on what’s mine. I warned him. He didn’t listen. Now, he’ll paylike I really want to get him jealous so he'd say those too. He knows the effect he has on Elsa:
I think you don’t hate me, but you hate how much you can’t hate this
See, your pussy knows it belongs to me. Your pussy knows that no one else will give it what I do, but you keep fighting it
“See what you do to me?” He buries himself deep inside me in one gowhich is why he didn't stop and honestly? I don't want him to either.
His possessiveness aside, the way he dirty talks? *swoons*
I can’t taste you from last night. I’m taking my refill tonight
Do you think I had the time to think about a fucking condom when your tight pussy was clenching my dick that hard?And the way he fucks:
You’re so fucking beautiful.” Thrust. “And breakable.” Thrust. “And mine"I know I'd be a goner if he did these things to me.
My favourite side of him has to be his jealous side:
Everything about you is fucking mine so don’t push me into marking my territory in front of everyone
I warned you. I’m fucking crazy when it comes to youand he clearly put Elsa in her place:
You don’t get to put a limit on when and how much I get to touch you, then ask me to slow downwhen I read this paragraph I was in heat:
"If you say that one more time, I’m going to fuck you in a more public place. I’ll make the entire world see how much you hate me while you’re bouncing on my cock and screaming my fucking name"believe me I was in heat alright.
Before you think I'm only horny about Aiden in this review, I'll tell you that he also has his sweet side such as when Elsa had nightmares and he was there:
Getting me back from where? From whoever was trying to take you away from me just now
Remember when I told you that I’ll protect you? That includes the monsters from your nightmares, Elsaand as the book goes on the lines of hate blur:
How can he kiss the same fingers that I just hurt him with? No. He’s not only kissing them. He slides his lips over each fingertip as if he’s worshipping thembecause Elsa feels like a shit for scratching him during her nightmares. She feels that there's more beyond revenge between herself and Aiden:
We’re not there to be each other, we’re there to insert a piece of us in the other half
Aiden isn’t interested in mere parts of me, he wants the whole thingI’ve been addicted to you since I touched you. I can’t stay away from you even if I wanted to, sweetheart. So don’t ask me to. Don’t even suggest itToo much is craving you and not being able to touch you because you put a limit on itI can’t and will never get enough of the feeling of being inside her. It’s a drug dose. It’s a sense of belonging. It’s finding a piece of yourself after years of separation. Elsa is damnation, but she’s also the only fucking thing that makes senseand Aiden knew he'd do anything for her because she was precious to him:That look makes me want to rip my heart out and lay it at her feetand who doesn't want a guy who's all in for you and only you???
FYI, Aiden has a cute side to him too, it's so squishable I just want to keep him in my pocket:The fact that he watches me as I change my clothes is a different level of intimacyWhat would you have done if I were on nothing and fell pregnant? I would’ve taken care of it and you. I’m not irresponsiblewe protect all responsible guys to the end.
So pros aside, what are the cons? The first being Elsa - I couldn't understand Elsa's feelings completely because they changed more than the amount of times Kim appeared in the book:Because the more I see Aiden, the more I’m reminded of his monster nature and the harder I’ll hate him
I can fight it all I like, but when he looks at me, everything and everyone disappears
Because deep down, that damned part that got me into this whole freaking mess still yearns for his touch
He’s the one who’s making a mountain out of a molehill. It doesn’t mean I feel less bad that he’s not talking to meshe frequently changed between melting for him and hating him: But if he thinks that will break me then he has a long way to go.
It takes more than that to bring me to my knees. I’m not a victim. I won’t let Aiden reduce me to a victimnot only was she confused, she made me feel so fucking lost.
The second con is me being really confused at this part:
If you touch Silver or anyone else, you better be ready to rape me, thenbecause that is just so toxic. I understand there are dubcon/noncon scenes in this book but really what did I just read? Elsa asked to be raped so that she could hate Aiden for entertaining Silver? She must have left her brain in the pool she was pushed into at the end of Deviant King. I thought it was major red flags for me. Also, Aiden also mentioned he had sex for the first time when he was 15, though trigger warnings were listed at the start of the book: dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some readers might find triggering or offensive it didn't contain underage sex so I would like to state that here.
Aiden's past was literally mentioned 76% into the book and then the book ended in a cliffhanger. It was foreshadowed throughout, with bits and pieces thrown all over and we only got to know about it when the book was almost ending, not when at least 30% of the book was just Aiden and his sexual bullying. I had to go back and read it again to absorb it in for the next book. There really wasn't enough depth about the forever mentioned past.
And, I literally don't understand why people to go parties and wear their school uniforms, it's the first thing I take out before going out after school in the past:
Both of them wear Elites jacketseven Levi who has long graduated wore it for the parties like uh okay but what do you get from wearing that?
Overall, this book was slightly better than Deviant King plot and smut wise and I hope the next book is more plot focused because I can't only have 19228263840 smut highlights from the book.

“One day you’ll dream of me as I dream of you.”
i'm gonna be real with you because after the way Deviant king ended, I hoped to get a stellar sequel not this trash and I am usually not that harsh on books, but I just finished the next one as well and it was even worse than this >:( so yeah not worth it.
--->2.05!

”I want to chuck it up to coincidence, but there’s no such thing as a coincidence. Coincidence is an excuse weak people use when reality hits them in the face.”
excuse me? wtf just happened?
rina, i didn’t see this coming. you shocked the living bejesus out of me–again.
this review will be a messy one since i’m writing it on my phone before going to sleep. i just need to let out all the things i have in my mind rn.
another thing (since i already told you one in my last review) about rina kent is that she keeps you in the dark til the very last minute. and when you think you’ve figured out what she’s been hiding all along, THERE you get surprised. the last plot twist got me speechless. i literally saw jesus christ in my living room bc someone definitely came back from the dead wtf?!
needless to say i already started the next one bc i NEEDED to know. it’s so fucked up i can’t wrap my head around what happened in this book. there are so many secrets, i doubt even myself. everyone is sus asf. i still didn’t trust aiden til the very first page of the sequel bc he’s sus, isn’t he? PLS SOMEONE MUST AGREE WITH ME! even tho i finally got to read his povs, it feels like i still don’t know nothing about him and this pisses me off so bad. and wbu elsa? i don’t understand her one bit. the thing about eli destroyed me, completely. and i legit need to know more about it.
also what’s silver’s deal? honest to god, i haven’t figured her out yet. idk where she stands between johnathan, aiden and cole. i’m so confused it’s not even funny.
overall, i found this book boring for the first half and the romance kind of sucks. lucky us, in the second half things escalate quickly, just as the romance does. the smut doesn’t disappoint as always, if you know what i mean…
Aiden rarely laughs, and when he does, it’s usually a part of his mask. But right now? He appears genuinely happy. Something swells at the thought that I’m the reason behind it.
Elsa fucking Steel. She was supposed to be another chess game with a known result, but she’s turning out to be more unpredictable than any game I played before.
“You don’t have to be ashamed of who you are with me, Elsa. You can be a fucking lunatic, and I still won’t let you go.”
Wow. That’s surprisingly sweet coming from him.
It’s almost like he accepts me whole. Aiden isn’t interested in mere parts of me, he wants the whole thing. And my heart nearly bursts open at his acceptance. It’s like I’ve been waiting my entire life for someone to take me as I am and I finally found him.
He sees me.
And he’s not scared of what he sees.
“One day you’ll dream of me as I dream of you.”
“What? You asked what I like doing. You’re my favourite thing to do.”
She’s being manipulative more than usual lately.
It makes me so fucking proud.
He kisses me slowly, too slowly, as if he’s re-learning me. As if he lost me and finally found me.

2/5 ⭐️ (.5 star for knox, .5 for Ronan and one star for that ending.)
?/5 🌶 (Spice was all over the book. And I was fed up with it.)
Pity i didn't like this the way i liked the first book.
This book in a nutshell.
- Elsa being angry at Aiden.
-Him not getting the hint. (Acting like a clingy ex... ifykyk 👀)
- He gives her the reason not to get angry and bullies her. Threatens her.
- Them getting together fucking like bunnies
- Them fucking more
- So much hate-fucking happening
That's all oh and that twist in the last page of the last chapter.
MY main PROBLEM with this is a sudden change in Elsa's character, we see how dominant she is, her morals are clear in the first book, I mean not so much but still she fought okay and in this she volunteered to become a doormat, she is so submissive it hurt me to read this book. Like he was literally using her for his own needs, and I WAS SO DONE WITH THAT!!
She got jealous, whimpered, got horny cried and let Aiden use her- that's all she did in this book.
We got some insights about her memories and the past. Omg don't even get me started on ‘If you tell me a tidbit, you get to fuck me.’ LIKE BRO GROW UP PLEASE I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
Elsa was just- let's just say I want to slap her and ignored her the whole book ✋️
Why the hell do I keep having these murderous thoughts? I’m not the type who’s capable of hurting a fly. ....!?
Aiden WAS SO BAD IN THIS ONE he felt like a bad boy straight from Wattpad! I'm not kidding. He was so good in the first book, being all that dark, mysterious guy. But in this, he used her for his horny cravings 🙄
Kim was there but not as much as I wanted her to, but I love her.
RONAN YA'LL EVERY TIME HE SHOWED UP I FELL FOR HIM!!! Again, I can't wait for his book.
condom packets 🤣
Knox 👀 🤌 he's sweet but deadly. A honeybee that could sting but is so sweet HEHE I like him a lot.
Yeah, this felt like a filler. This could've been cut short, or only the last and some main plot filled chapters might've been in the third book. This should've been a duet instead of a trilogy. I skipped all that spice, so this felt super short for me🙄
Few quotes
I LOVE RONAN ISTG 😭😭

RONAN YA'LL EVERY TIME HE SHOWED UP I FELL FOR HIM!!! Again, I can't wait for his book.
“Repeat it.” I cut eye contact with Aiden and meet Ronan’s playful stare. “Repeat what?” He pulls quotation marks. “Stop acting like an annoying, clingy ex. Say it again. I need to catch it on camera and show it to King’s grandkids.”
Wrap it before you tap it, mate. I don’t want kids running around at my parties. Mmmkay?- he wrote this on a

“Buuut.”Ronan points a thumb at himself. “I lost my virginity first. Again, not bragging or anything, but they were all behind. I thought Aiden and Cole were gay until I saw their kinky shit.”
"Shut it, Astor.”Cole reprimands. My interest peeks. “No, tell us. Why would you think they were gay?”
“First of all, they never had sex in front of us. Never tried to hook up with girls. They were sexually dead, I’m telling you. But their dicks looked good enough in the showers. Not as much as mine, but still.”
“You spied on them?”I ask, incredulous. “Mais bien sûr. I needed to look out for my mates. I even told King to fuck a guy or two and see how it goes. I was cool as long as he has sex.”
I LOVE RONAN ISTG 😭😭
“You don’t have to be ashamed of who you are with me, Elsa. You can be a fucking lunatic, and I still won’t let you go.”
“You know how rare it is to get dinner with Aunt and Uncle.” He revs the engine to life. “Did I say anything?”

I don't know how Elsa does it because that man is barely tolerable. And honesty, she's not much better sometimes. Aiden needs to shut the fuck up and she needs to get a grip. They both just piss me off. I'm just trying to get through their books so I can read Ronan's book. And Kim's. Basically anyone but theirs.

*** 5 What are you hiding? Stars ***
The Royal Elite series continues, and Aiden is a force to be reckoned with. Steel Princess by Rina Kent was riveting, striking, opulent and regal. A stunning masterpiece! Finally we have the continuation to Elsa & Aiden's story hat was full of drama, suspense, intrigue, love and deception. This series is not for the faint of heart. . . It’s dark, gritty, raw to the very core. Steel Princess is one hell of an emotional rollercoaster, that’s enchantedly wicked. Even after I finished the last page, Aiden hasn’t been far from my thoughts. He has been permanently embedded in my heart.
...he wants to shield you from the world. I don’t think you even notice it, but sometimes, he looks at you like he can’t breathe without you. And believe me, that’s not the King everyone knows.”
Elsa has proved herself in Deviant King, that she will not bow to the king. She is in the game now, and won’t stop until Aiden is on his knees taking his empire right under his nose. Except he is always one step ahead. Her heart, mind and soul are constantly at war. . . Tempted to claim what is rightfully hers. Time passes and Elsa continues to have these recurring nightmares, and she is hellbent on finding the truth behind them. She knows Aiden is hiding something from her, but what?
As much as I hated Aiden in the beginning of Deviant King and his shameless fascination with Elsa, thus resulting a game of cat and mouse. I was drawn by the enigmatic man. Cruel yet calculating he keeps her in the dark of his intentions, His secretive actions only create doubts inside her. Their moments together are fueled with hurt, anguish, and hunger after secrets are revealed.
Rina Kent delivered a powerful and emotional, all-consuming story that left me obsessed and for more. If you're looking for a classic bad boy hero, with a broken heart and a tortured soul, look no further. This enemies to lovers, bully romance series is a must read! I am dying for the next book!

5 ”Elsa and Aiden” stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Devils can’t be redeemed.
Devils can only crash and burn.
He said he’ll destroy me, and he did.
It’s time I destroy him back.
I just finished this book an hour ago and it blew my fucking mind. It was so so freaking good. I didn’t expect it to get so much dark and suspenseful. It was a crazy wild ride and I’m pretty sure I won’t be forgetting it for a while. This one is so much more than a simple bully romance. I have become a huge fan of this author’s talented work. Her writing style is exactly what I love in my books.
”Then we’re over,” she says with more strength than needed.
I push a stray blonde strand behind her ear, taking my time to feel the warmth of her skin against mine.
“That’s where you’re wrong, sweetheart,” I murmur near her mouth, “Being enemies doesn’t change the fact that you’re fucking mine.”
So many of my questions were answered in this part and I have a feeling it’s only going to get much darker and exciting. It was from dual POV. Learning what goes on behind Aiden’s mind was so intriguing. We got to see he has so many layers to him. He’s just not a cold, calculated asshole bully but a damaged person himself. His past has made him this way. All along he was trying to protect Elsa from her past, what he didn’t expect was for her to mean so much to him.
A genuine heart-stopping smile lifts his lips. “I’ll always come back for you, sweetheart. You’re a queen, not a pawn.”
Then he’s out of the door, leaving me to pick my heart up off the floor.
Elsa was a queen. Even with all the innocence, she has this dark energy which shows up at unexpected time. It’s tied to her past. We finally got many answers about her past with the help of her therapy sessions. It honestly broke my heart to see what they both have gone through. Their childhood was truly fucked up.
”This is so fucked up. This is so wrong.” She grips me tighter with every word.
Even if it’s fucked up and wrong, she still wants me with every fibre in her.
My pace picks up and I hit her sweet spot over and over again.
She cries out, holding on to me for dear life. “Oh, my God, Aiden!”
Their connection finally made sense. Their souls are intertwined. It showed strength how Elsa stood up for herself and accepted Aiden for who he is and vice versa. Their sexual chemistry is still as hot as ever if not more. Every time is explosive between them. Their banter is always witty and filled with so much tension. It’s like a moth to a flame.
All in all I’m in love with all the horsemen. Each of them is unique in their own way. The little glimpses I get into their lives just leaves me salivating for more. Cole’s silent intensity, Xander’s playfulness and sometimes seriousness and Ronan’s joking and funny ways. Kim is the best friend one could ever have.
The cliffhanger that the author’s has left me with was completely unexpected. I was honestly shocked and I can’t wait to find out what’s more in store for us.
Highly recommended this to all the bully romance lovers. ♥️
Devils can’t be redeemed.
Devils can only crash and burn.
He said he’ll destroy me, and he did.

Cole’s silent intensity, Xander’s playfulness and sometimes seriousness and Ronan’s joking and funny ways. Kim is the best friend one could ever have.
The cliffhanger that the author’s has left me with was completely unexpected. I was honestly shocked and I can’t wait to find out what’s more in store for us.
Highly recommended this to all the bully romance lovers. ♥️

So good!!! Aiden and Elsa are great together. I am really enjoying the suspense too. The ending caught me by surprise, I didn’t see it coming at all! I can’t wait for the next and final installment.
