Publisher's summary

The villain isn’t supposed to be king.

I have a simple plan.

Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.

One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke.

One glance and he suffocates my air.

One glance and he issues his death sentence.

His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos.
“I will destroy you.”

Everything about Aiden King is black.

Black mind.

Black heart.

Black soul.

I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left.

I didn’t.

I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

The devil in his hell.

And now, I’ll pay the price.

Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous.

But being wanted by him is lethal.

Deviant King is book one of Royal Elite Series. This is a dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some listeners might find offensive. Aiden isn’t the normal romance hero. In fact, he’s not a hero at all. So please don’t listen to this if any of that bothers you.

This book is part of a trilogy and is not a stand-alone.

WOW! I am in love with this one

Wow, just wow. This book had my mind blown, Aiden and Elsa story is a must read. Phenomenal story plot line. Bully romance is my favorite genre, this dark high school romance is simply my cup of tea times a million. All that can be twist it was, all that I thought was overpassed by and the bar is set so high, so many things going on and yet not enough. I so need more now! It's just amazing how this book got me reading all night and yet I couldn't sleep because I needed more. Simply a masterpiece.

Amazing!!

Loved it! Can't wait for Steel Princess and Twisted Kingdom to come out on audible.

Couldn’t stop listening

Excellent story and top-notch dual narration made this an excellent listen! I can’t wait to go into the next book!

Totally 💯 - review of books 1,2,3

First, I really was hesitant to enjoy a dark romance in a high school setting. I’m a practical person who finds it difficult to allow my brain to play out these scenes with 17 yo. characters. Nothing more unbelievable than very mature instances, feelings, reactions, handled with the upmost of maturity of someone who just learned how to drive. That being said, I was very happy I read this series. Even though HS romances won’t be on list, this was very very very well done. I listened via audiobook and Shane East’s narration was performed well, he obviously didn’t sound like an 18 yo so I was able to escape into the story a little easier. The Royal Elite HS was actually a fun setting which often reminded me of Gilmore Girls.

I was looking for good dark romance and this gave me what I wanted plus more I didn’t expect. Warning: Elsa is irritating “incredulous”! Not all the time, but how she handled her feelings and reactions to Aiden was very immature. I prefer strong female leads who chose to be obstinate or submissive. She just couldn’t be either and was an emotional limp noodle. The story more than makes up it and I don’t give a perfect ⭐️ review for nothing. The story is dark and complex. As it develops you can totally understand Aidens obsession with her (and even Elsa’s emotional immaturity) and it feels so genuine which adds ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ chemistry. You feel how they were enemies and that it took time to turn into a couple, not just over night. Well done!!!

omg!!

Omg! No!! Thus story is killing me!!! Not Elsa! Wow! This one really has me. Elsa is so relatable. I love her attitude and the fact that she has Kim no matter what. I also love how she brings unlikely people together. Watch out for the cliffy though.. it's a doozy

Kept Me Guessing

I don’t know what to say but Wow! I wasn’t sure if I hated it or liked it 😂 I hated it because Aiden is so controlling and I know some ppl like that, no judgement here but I believed Elsa could have told her Aunt and Uncle what was going on if she wanted to. I know she feels in debted to them for taking her in but I was like come on let them know what is happening. With that I know earlier on that somewhere in the back of mind she didn’t trust her Aunt and Uncle but the secrets everyone is keeping had me glued to find out what was going to happen next. That is what I loved about the book, mystery to find out how everyone is connected to Elsa and her past.

Movie please!

The first three books in this series are my favorite of all my enemy to lover romance books. I have listened to these three books many times over.

on the edge

I read this book a couple months ago. I decided to do the audio book for my workout. I am so happy I did. To hear the English accents really put me in the story. And hearing hot scenes between Elise and Aiden where just wow!!!!

I love this book

I love every part of this book , idk I usually dont like bully romance and I find it strange that he waited 2 years to then actual pursue her and just let other continue to bully her on his behalf. otherwise overall I really loved it and enjoyed it so much I purchased the next audiobook and as soon as I get my library at home fixed I will purchase the physical books too.

Deviant King

A very dark book . Cole is my favorite of all the characters and seems to be the most sane . Narration was great .
