Description
She’s off limits. He has none. There’s a girl. Beautiful. Popular. Fake. And my obsession. My fall. Probably my damnation. Did that stop me? Do I care? No and no. There’s a line between right and wrong. Moral and immoral. And then there’s her. I cross every limit with blood-coated fingers. She says she hates me. I say I hate her too as I trap her, own her. Make her all mine. Ruthless Empire is part of Royal Elite Series but could be read on its own. For better understanding of the world, you might want to read the previous books first. Read more

Wow…what a surprise ending!
Format: Kindle
Ruthless Empire" by Rina Kent is a dark contemporary romance book that serves as an exciting and suspenseful addition to the Royal Elite series. This novel falls heavily into the enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity tropes, creating a highly intense atmosphere from the very first page. The plot focuses on a dangerous world of wealth, power, and secrets that keeps you hooked throughout the entire story. The main characters in this book, Cole Nash and Silver Queens, are incredibly complex, fierce, and deeply flawed. They share an explosive chemistry filled with tension, mind games, and emotional struggles. Watching Cole and Silver fight their attraction while dealing with outside threats makes their relationship feel chaotic but captivating. The supporting characters from the school also add great depth to the fast-paced plot. The plot delivers constant excitement, leading up to a truly shocking ending involving a massive twist that I never saw coming. The author does a fantastic job of building anticipation and dropping surprises right at the very finish. However, even though the story of Cole and Silver was highly thrilling and full of unexpected twists, it still was not my personal favorite book out of the entire series.

Didn't necessarily lived up to my expectations for Cole (Aiden and Ronan are still better imo) but still really enjoyed this. But it's also fine because it didn't go the annoying usual route of OTT drama. Instead, it was more of their building relationship with a side of suspense. I guess that's one thing I actually really like about this author, is that she doesn't tend to go the typical route of playboys with a bunch of OP drama that takes away from their actual relationship, at least what I've seen so far from her. I can also tell her writing has gotten so much better from the first books in this series. There is still some repetitiveness like Silver saying "w*nker" and "I hate you" over and over again which was so ANNOYING, and again with the childhood trauma and parent dramas, but this plot did feel a bit different thankfully, so it didn't bother me as much. I surprisingly really liked the flashbacks at the beginning of the book too from when they were younger. Cole is a devious little kid haha. I'm also glad they actually did what they said they would do and saved their firsts for each other unlike some other books *ahem prettyrecklessbrokenknight ahem*. It definitely made me root for them more that they were literally IT for each other, so I def would have liked to have found our earlier that Cole was a v*rgin, but whatever. And also no OW drama thankfully, but I also thought it was kind of funny how they were constantly using other people to make each other jealous, which I was fine with seeing as they were only interested in each other, and they totally get off on it lol. I'm also legit obsessed with all the horsemen's interactions and wish we had more in here. And how they spread rumors and lies about each other too, Ronan haha, is the best, and I'm glad they really did end up to be lies. The timeline did feel a bit wacky though. I feel like there are just too many books in this series for the books to all be out of order, and it is hard to keep track of events that happened in the other books, especially when the character was trying to explain why something happened when it did. Such as Silver trying to justify why she did all that to Kim. I wish we had some of the events that happened on screen in other books, to happen here too, that way we could see what was going through their head at that time. All the mentions of Kim, and no actual Kim appearing, was boring. Also, one thing I noticed, is that this author does this really great build up to the climax, but when it happens, she fails to deliver an actual impact after all that. We have all this suspense and mysteriousness just for it to be wrapped up in literally like 5%. I do like the epilogues she does at the very end, but I hate how everything wraps up so quickly and then it's boom, epilogue time. And btw who the doll master actually was, is legit gross. Not sure how obvious or not it was though since I might have seen a spoiler already before starting it, oops. And then a couple more things that I noticed that while they don't affect my rating really, I just wasn't a big fan of them. One would be all the voyeurism. The whole s*x club thing where they get off on watching other people, and then thinking about it whilst having s*x, just didn't do it for me. I love kinky, even wish there was more of it here, but it just didn't make sense that with how obsessed they are with each other, that they prefer to watch other people have s*x. I am glad that there was no sharing or anything like that though, which people tend to do in s*x clubs in books. Cole was possessive through and through, though he definitely gets points docked off for watching Silver get beaten and not doing anything about it (that scene can also never NOT be cringey). And lastly, one more thing that I didn't care for was the pretty much no explanation on why he had a pic of a naked woman tied up on his phone. I can't remember if they said they knew her or not, but was Cole the one that did it and took the pic? We know he was a v*rgin, but he said he tried to go all the way so does that mean he tried to go all the way with more girls? Has he tied up a lot of girls? Or just Silver? Did he do any other stuff with them? On one hand, I'm glad it was vague if he really did other stuff with any other women, but on another, I wish it was more clear with how loyal he was to Silver. You can't be mad that someone took her first waltz if you've been tying and doing other stuff to girls. Overall, great books, well, except for Black Knight, still hate that one. The first books in the series aren't written as good, but they still kept my interest and I love all the MCs (except Kim). And I know there are a lot of comparisons, but this almost feels like the All Saints High series that we should have had but didn't, bleh, so I don't even care for the similarities. Now bring on Daddy King!

I love Cole and Silver
Format: Kindle
It definitely went a different way than I was expecting. Love love love Cole and Silver. I love seeing their story map out during the same time line as all the other couples, so you see scenes thst tie in from other books and just get a different pov about it. I loved how this was written and I'm sad to see the end. 10/10 I also listened to the audiobook and the narrators did a phenomenal job. I love that even though they are the same throughout the series, the voices and accents stay true to character and there is no wondering who is talking. The consistency is so satisfying. The emotion with the characters and how much Cole and Silver both yearn for each other so damn hard but are also too damn stubborn to show their neck to the other. Phenomenal.

An Enigmatic and Gripping Dark Romance
Format: Kindle
Ruthless Empire by Rina Kent is a pulsating, heart-wrenching journey into the complexities of love and power within the revered walls of Royal Elite School. The fourth installment in the Royal Elite series, this book seamlessly blends dark romance with elements of suspense, leaving readers both breathless and deeply invested. The story centers around Silver Kingsley, a formidable and enigmatic figure, and her childhood nemesis, Cole Nash. From the outset, their tumultuous relationship is foregrounded, riddled with intense emotions, dark secrets, and an undeniable magnetic pull. Kent masterfully captures the push and pull between Silver and Cole, painting a vivid picture of a love story that is as destructive as it is passionate. Rina Kent’s writing is immersive, drawing readers into the elite world she has crafted with rich details and a palpable tension that underscores every interaction. The characters are multifaceted and deeply flawed, making their journey towards self-discovery and redemption all the more compelling. Silver is particularly notable for her strength, intelligence, and vulnerability, which make her a protagonist worth rooting for. One of the standout aspects of Ruthless Empire is Kent’s ability to tackle heavy themes such as trust, betrayal, and resilience. She does so with a sensitivity that lends depth to the narrative, allowing readers to empathize with the characters’ inner struggles. The pacing is well-executed, with a series of twists that keep the momentum thriving throughout the book. However, while Ruthless Empire excels in many areas, it is not without its imperfections. Some plot points can feel slightly repetitive, and there are moments where the intensity of the characters’ relationships borders on overwhelming. Despite these minor shortcomings, the raw emotion and gripping storyline more than make up for it. In conclusion, Ruthless Empire is a fascinating and darkly romantic read that will captivate fans of the genre. Rina Kent delivers a story that is as haunting as it is heartfelt, offering an engrossing look at love in its most tumultuous form. Whether you’re a loyal follower of the Royal Elite series or a newcomer, this book is sure to leave a lasting impression.

The Plot Twist, Ugh! Otherwise An Angsty-Fun Time
⭐️⭐️⭐️.9️⃣5️⃣ I know that's a petty starred review, but the dang over-the-top plot twist got me a smidge irate. I was enjoying this book and then - BAM - craziness. I really want to go off on a more detailed rant. However, I'm going to refrain so as not to spoil it for those who haven't yet had the pleasure, 🙄. I'll keep it vague. The majority of this read was a good ole angsty-funfullied time. There's that, 😏, I suppose. No, seriously... it was really good until it wasn't as good as it could've been. Why do author's feel compelled to jerk their readers around and flub up the general tone of their story by tossing in some unnecessary overly dramatic bs?! I don't get it?!?! Why f-up an otherwise good thing? I'm gonna stop because I'm so irritated. But - DANG IT! Yes, I'll be rereading this at some point, along with the rest of the series. It's a solid bully romance series that's too good to pass up. Reading this last book in the series (minus The epilogue book) reminded me of how I felt after reading God of War, the end of Legacy of Gods. There was so much potential, and held so much promise based on previous books. It had it's good-time moments, but it let me down somewhat. Idk, it's good, not great, and left a slightly sour taste.

Ruthless Empire by Rina Kent
Format: Paperback
This book was so good!! I couldn't put it down. I just need to know what was going to happen. Anything? Rina Kent writes, I will read. Or devour. I loved Cole & Silvers story. I liked being able to see a different side of silver versus how she's been throughout the whole series. It's really cool to see all the events that happened before play out in every book and see a difference side of it. I love the world Royal Elite series! All of the books in this series are so good.

Unexpectedly the best book in whole series
Format: Kindle
I have read all of Irina Kent's books, including the Royal Elite series, the Mafia stories, and Legacy of God, and I must say that my expectations were never met with any of them. While it's relatively easy to predict which book in a series might be interesting because we see the characters in action and have an idea of what to expect, I was consistently disappointed. Initially, I was intrigued by Aidan and Elsa's story, but I did not enjoy them as much as I had hoped. I was particularly excited about Xander and Kim; and though the first part was quite good, the second part turned out to be a complete disaster. Ronan's book was absolutely not my cup of tea, and I even considered stopping the series to avoid further disappointment, especially since Silver was portrayed as a shallow character in previous books. I couldn't imagine how I could ever be invested in a story about her. However, Cole’s character was somewhat interesting, so I decided to give it a chance. To my surprise, I was absolutely shocked by how good this book turned out to be. The characters, plot, relationship development, and unexpected twists evoked a wide range of emotions in me. I literally couldn't get enough of Silver and Cole; their relationship and story quickly became my favorite. I truly believed in their love and devotion. This book was an emotional rollercoaster, and I enjoyed every page and every word. I really did not want it to end.
