I was raised to be Jadon Safrin’s enemy. My father was the king of Alidonia and wanted to rule all of the kingdoms, which meant trouble for Jadon when he became king of Farrow.When war threatened to break out between our countries and I met Jadon face-to-face, I realized I could become his greatest weakness.I could either do the right thing, or I could let him crash and burn, paving the way for … paving the way for my family to get their greatest wish.
But I’d never met a man like Jadon, pure of heart and unparalleled bravery, and when all was said and done, maybe in truth, I was nothing but a pawn.
He would be my demise.

Miss Aster saved the BEST for last! Oh Jadon is the most heart dearing character that I have read of these books. Him and Delilah are perfect for each other and the crap that they both have had to go through just to reach that pinnacle is truly triumphant and remarkable. I enjoyed this book and even though it takes great pride to achieve great things it is worth the time to take a break and read great writing. Take Pride to heart Miss Aster for you definitely deserve it! So come and catch up with these amazing Royals and get ready to have your pride lifted!

Seems like the last book was the best so it seems fitting. Jason and Delilah captivated me from the very beginning and I loved their back and forth and the way their story begins. It has the drama, the angst, the steam, and so much in between.
This is another wonderful book in the series. This is Jadon and Delilah’s story. Delilah has been told that Jadon is the enemy. When they met it was not what either thought. Of course there are plots going on and there are twists. The characters are wonderful and strong, and want to do what is right and there are people out there that do not want that. This is another great book in the series. Great writing and a great story.

What a ride this series has been. I’m a bit sad it’s all over. I have become attached to these characters and their stories. Willow as woven such a great story with all of them.
Pride, much like the first three books, was a great read. The characters, the pacing of the story, just everything about it was good. Willow knows how to keep her readers engaged from the very beginning. Her writing never ceases to amaze me and I can’t wait to see what she has next for us!
Pride by Willow Aster is another incredible in the Kingdom of Sins series!
I was drawn into the storyline immediately. As soon as I started, I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to put the book down until I was finished. Yup, that’s what led to me reading at 3am, when I should have been sleeping.
Jadon and Delilah were two characters that I guarantee you will love. They were perfect for one another. There was this intrigue to their relationship throughout the entire novel, that will keep you oohing and ahhing. They have had so many obstacles and struggles going against them, and yet they found a way to overcome them and come out on top, all the while maintaining their strong relationship.
I definitely recommend this series to everyone! I am so sad that it is over, yet, it was the perfect series to read.
4.5/5 Stars!
“Pride by Willow Aster was epic in every way possible!!! What a wonderful ending to this series!!!! So far this one is my favorite. Jason and Delilah were amazing. There’s loyalty and love. I didn’t want their story to end. I’m finishing this book with a happy smile. I waited for Jadon’s story and it hooked me completely. Delilah, she was so fierce and a truly strong girl. I’m not gonna tell you more because this is an ending you must experience on your own.”
A phenomenal must read. Jaden and Deliliah’s story is full of ups and downs, the unexpected, and an absolutely forbidden love. I highly recommend this book to all romance lovers, you won’t be disappointed!
Y’all this book had it all and it hit the nail on the head. I LOVE Willow’s writing and this series has it shining. You wont be able to put it down once you start. This is the 4th book in the series so don’t read ahead if you haven’t read the others.
This ia Jadon’s story and guys it is EVERYTHING. I am sad to see the series end but I am so glad that it went out with this big of a perfect bang.
If you are reading this then you have read the other three books and I don’t want to spoil a thing. This book doesn’t let you down. If you thought the last book had some twists, you honestly cannot be prepared for what comes out in this one.
This is a dual POV novel and grips you chapter after chapter. You get more of Jadon than you ever knew you needed and while you are learning more about his you get to meet someone you didn’t know you needed in this world.
Im being super cagey but guys, I don’t want to give anything away! It wraps up perfectly and you will continue to be in love this this world.
I was waiting for this one and it was worth it, the author delivered it had the perfect amount of romance, uncertainty, suspense and turns that it will keep you on your toes, great way to write Jadon with this one we finally understand and get closure with everything that was left unsaid in the other books of the series, I highly recommend this series and other books written by Willow Aster .
Pride by Willow Aster is the fourth (and final?) book in her Kingdoms of Sin series. Told in dual POV between the oldest Safrin sibling, Jadon, and the daughter of their bitter enemies in the Kingdom of Alidonia, Delilah. Two people who should have never even met, but as a result of their decent humanity and despite the plots of their enemies, they meet and form an instant bond, one they are reluctant, at first, to acknowledge.
Jadon is calm, focused, caring, and a wonderful ruler of Farrow and with Delilah by his side the Kingdoms are their oyster. Two rival kingdoms, families plotting against each other, and at the center of it all – love. Somewhat dark and gritty, these royals don’t play. The good ones value love and family above all but their enemies will use their weaknesses against them. LOVED IT! Enjoy!
I couldn’t wait for this story and devoured it in one day!
The suspense, engaging characters and well paced story is intriguing and beautifully written! I was so happy for Jadon to get a well deserved ending.
This was an awesome conclusion to this series!
What a perfect ending to this series! With each new book, I think I’ve found my new favorite, but now I think I really can’t choose. I love them all.
Jadon’s story was the one I had been waiting for. He has such a heartbreaking past and I was anxious for him to finally get the happiness he deserves. Willow did not disappoint! Nothing in this book or this series, for that matter, is instantaneous. These characters have to work hard for their happiness. They have to grow and evolve before they can truly find what they’re looking for. And I think that’s what I love most about these characters. They’re all flawed, some more than others. They don’t always act or react the way they should, but they learn from their mistakes and in the end, that makes their happily ever after that much sweeter.
I’ll miss these families & this world that I’ve come to love so much. But I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye. Well done, Willow
I cant believe it’s over!! I loved this series so much!! Pride was the perfect conclusion to this absolutely amazing series!!
I love all of these characters so much but I was especially excited for this one!! I was just dying to see how things would come to a close and I was not disappointed!
Jadon’s story was so special, his rough childhood and becoming King unexpectedly, I just wanted his happy ending so badly! I absolutely loved watching him fall in love with someone so unexpected!! Nothing about this story was predictable and I loved every suspenseful moment!
And those epilogues!!! *sigh* so good guys so good…
Willow has created the most amazing world, and I am going to miss it and these characters so much!! I just know I’ll be going back and rereading all of these time and time again!!
This series was AMAZING!! I couldn’t put the books down!! I binged all four of them!! FIVE STARS! MUST READ!
4.5 stars
I am absolutely loving the Kingdoms of Sin series by Willow Aster and though I am sad to see it end, it was a great read! In Pride we get Jadon’s story. This story was emotional and captivating and though I never wanted it to end, I had to keep reading. Jadon has a heartbreaking background and yet is strong and determined. Can he trust the daughter of his enemy? Delilah wants what is best for everyone, but can she do what is expected? But can either save their hearts in the end? Pride by Willow Aster is an enemies to lovers story that will grab you from start to finish. I would, however, suggest reading the books in the series in order, though each is about a different couple, they are interconnected and are fascinating reads.

Happy reading!
5 PRIDE STARS!! This book was so good….it held my attention all the way through. The storyline so well written with lots of emotions you can not put it down. This author is phenomenal with her storytelling, i cant wait to read more by her.
4 – 4.5 Heartbeat Stars!
From the second that I reached the end of Ruin I started counting down the days until this one released! When it landed on my kindle I could not contain my excitement for this book! I had to dive in right away and oh, how happy I was to be back in this world! I couldn’t put it down!
I have been SO excited for Jadon’s story! I’ve wanted to get into his mind from the very beginning and I’m glad that I finally got to! From the start I wanted to know more about Delilah and I so enjoyed getting to dig deeper with her as well.
I wasn’t sure what all was going to happen in this final installment and I was on the edge of my seat throughout!
Jadon stole my heart and I fell for Delilah! I felt it every bit of their journey and I loved how their emotions got to me. I wanted to hug them through my kindle!
With Pride, Ms.Aster has created such a fantastic ending to this series! I didn’t want to reach the end of Pride because I wanted to stay in this world for as long as I could.
The Kingdoms of Sin series has become one of my favorites! I am so happy that I read all of them this year and how each one has truly brightened my year! These books and characters have left their mark on my heart forever.

4.5 Stars!

Pride (Kingdoms of Sin, #4) by Willow Aster is a captivating, enemies to lovers, royal romance full of passion, danger, power, manipulation and beautiful love. Jaden’s story is the one I’ve been anxiously waiting for, and it was everything!!! I loved Jaden and his gentle heart so much! It’s my favorite of the series!
The last time we saw Jadon Safrin, he’d narrowly escaped getting assassinated by his sister and stepmother, both of whom had been drugged and hypnotized. Crazy, right? Welcome to the twisty royal world Willow Aster created, in which she uses shades of Game of Thrones and her own sense of palace intrigue to create characters and stories that keep you turning the pages.
In this book, Jadon comes up against (in more ways than one) Delilah Farthing, the princess of a kingdom Jadon considers to be problematic (he thinks they had something to do with his assassination attempt). Delilah, on the other hand, has things she wants to prove to her ailing grandfather.
Delilah and Jadon are both hard-headed and fiercely loyal to their kingdoms. They’re also quite attracted to each other, which they both want and fear. Willow Aster crafts this romance with intense heat, making you clench your thighs so tightly, you nearly pass out.
Of course, nothing is going to go smoothly for Jadon and Delilah, but that’s part of the fun of reading this book. You know they’re going to find their way to each other, but you also know they’re in for some struggles. In this case, Delilah has to learn that the autonomy she seeks cuts far deeper than she anticipates, and Jadon has to accept that where he started does not dictate where he finishes.
This series has been fun, and it’s been scorching hot. I’ve been waiting for Jadon to get his due, and Willow Aster does not disappoint. If you like royal romances, you need to check out the Kingdoms of Sin series of interconnected stand-alones. Please let me know who your favorite characters are!
The Kingdom of Sins series has been a ride. The first book really grabbed me and it was so original. Although the rest of the characters were sometimes off for me but I wanted to know what would happen.
Never a dull moment for sure in the books.
I knew Jadon’s story was going to be interesting. This had a enemies to lovers feel to it. It started of unpredictable on the heroine’s motives. But easily moved into Jadon seeing her and being attracted. While there are still many unknowns I had a feeling soon enough how this plot would go. I don’t know if Jadon sees past the physical from what I see a bit superficial really cause of how he’s captivated by her beauty. I didn’t really feel the enemies to lovers perse but it had it moments.
Though apparently there is some connection they feel I didn’t quite feel that. I know Jadon really likes the lady in that he risked a lot for her. It felt a tad insta how it all went down but I guess for plot purposes. It became more exciting though as it came to a close reveals and all. Jadon has always been kind hearted through the books here he is proving his leadership and know how.
At the end of it all it was not your usual concept, it was intriguing and addictive as a whole. It’s been a while since I read Willow Aster but this was well done.
