This story is dark and unpredictable and filled with secrets, lies, and manipulation. This is my first time reading a bully romance and I found it twisted and highly addictive. Levi King thrives on the whole world bowing to him. That is until Astrid crashes into his life unexpectedly and ignites something inside his black heart. This story is a 5 star must read and I hope this isn’t the last time we see Levi, Astrid and the four horsemen.
Cruel King by Rina Kent and one of my favorites. I fell in love with Levi and Astrid so much and their story just pulled me in from the beginning until the end. Levi has a secret that he is absolutely sure Astrid had overheard and he is so intent on ruining and breaking her for it but not everything is as is seems.
Wow! This story was absolutely fantastic ! I love how Rina creates these worlds of dark characters that you just can’t help but love! This was different than what I’m used to by Rina Kent but oh boy do I love it. Levi and Astrid were so perfect for each other in every way really , they both lost parents and they have more in common than they think. I’m so excited for this new series ! Can’t wait to read about Aiden King and please tell me we will get a story about Dan too ! Fingers crossed Overall this story gets a definite 5 stars from me !
Rina Kent delivers such an epic read with Cruel King. This hs bully romance was so good I devoured it in one sitting. I couldn’t get enough of the push-pull between Astrid and Levi. This book is a must read. I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

Rina Kent is one of my favorite authors to date, but I wasn’t sure what to expect with her high school bully romance since that isn’t her usual trope. That being said, Cruel King pulled me right in from the first page and kept me in is tight, unrelenting grip until the very last page. This novel was dark, daring, and highly entertaining. The plot was engaging and the story moved at a great pace. Levi is rich, cocky, and popular, but not everything is as it seems. He has set his sights on Astrid, but she dishes it all right back to him and then some. Astrid is a survivor and refuses to back down. I loved her character as she is a very hardcore heroine. The two together are dynamite and I loved watching their relationship evolve. There are intriguing family dynamics and secrets abound in this enemies-to-loves bully romance.
I have been on a high school bully kick here lately and let me tell you I absolutely loved this one! I’ve read Rina’s other books and loved those so I was pretty sure I was going to love this one. I was right!!!
Who is going to win this war between these two? Who is going to end up bowing down or are they both too strong willed to bend? There’s more that meets the eye that’s been happening between these two and their families. What’s going to happen when THOSE secrets come out? Will it destroy them?
You HAVE to read this to find out!
