Corrupted Crown: A Dark Mafia Forced Marriage Enemies to Lovers Romance (Reckless Reign Trilogy Book 1)

Good story, monologues a bit dragged out here and there - all you think while reading is "just get on with it" in those moments, timeline makes no sense whatsoever.

I have to say the blurb didn’t really match the reality of who Kyla is, the blurb read she has a black heart and he can’t say her name without his mouth twisting like he tasted poison.However when we actually meet them both they are in love with each other and Patrick broke her heart when he left her without any contact for 18 months.He is her brother Logan’s best friend and knew he shouldn’t have slept with Kyla but they are drawn to each other and neither will admit how much they actually do love each other.He is Irish mafia and that is the reason he left because he knows his life brings danger and that enemies go after loved ones all the time and he loves her enough to not let her be in danger because of him. He also failed to kill the man who hurt her the most and he hates that he wasn’t successful but has lied to her by not admitting someone ratted him out to the police and he was arrested before Patrick could get to him, so even though he loves her he has to let her go.That doesn’t work out though as her own father brought a psycho in to his business dealings who now wants Kyla and will stop at nothing to get her and Patrick has prevented her rape and saved her life twice so far in this book due to Massey sending people after Kyla.The meeting in Molly’s was funny when Quinn spouted off I really do like him so far but Niall isn’t going to let this go without a fight.How did any of them think she would be happy with that when control is the one thing she needs after that tragedy.I knew something was going to happen and leave us on a cliffhanger as I have read many of this authors books to know she likes to keep us waiting and guessing.

This has been on my tbr list for a whe and I decided to dive in today. It was a good read and I am excited to see where it goes from here

I wasn’t blown away or gripped by the story, and partly I think is because I wasn’t too much of a fan of Kyla. She came across a little childish and anytime there was reference to her giggling it made me cringe, however it had grit and I’m interested to see how the story goes on.

Wow what a great book, I loved the characters & storyline I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series

I always buy Kristen Luciani books I just adore her writing especially the hot Alpha mafia men. This book is superb as first part of the trilogy. Hated the cliffhanger but need to buy the next book as I NEED TO KNOW! Both Kyla and Patrick are both in need of help. I love these two. The chemistry between them is so scorching hot. There is plenty of bad guys after them, plenty of twists and turns, it's a definite purchase. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Thank you Kristen for the start of another trilogy (reckless reign trilogy book 1). 😍😍

I was becoming more and more frustrated for Patrick in this book, everywhere he turns he has a problem to solve. I was also frustrated with Kayla she showed some great strength then seemed one dimensional and didn't manage to convince me of her motives.

Such a great story by one of my favourite authors, Patrick is just absolutely yum ! Kyla, however is giving me a massive headache, constantly throwing stuff around, lashing out at everybody and screaming jeeez kinda hoping Patrick finishes her off himself 🤣 she's been through a lot but damnnnn girl reign it in ! .......off to book 2!
