Not for all...

Heads up, this is not romance. It's dark, but not the darkest. In case you missed it, this book takes place on an island meant to train CRIMINALS. This is straight up a starter Stockholm read, and there's nothing wrong with that if it's what you're into. Which I am.

Now, if you've read criminal college books before, you're going to see some similarities. I picked up on a few but the book was still unique. I've been reading this duo for quite some time, they really got me hooked on the bully genre, so I am used to their writing style and the direction their content can go.

I cannot express enough that this book is more dark than romance. Do not take it lightly, you will regret it. Q is an absolute worm, he's despicable and I'm not sure I'll warm up to him. Aspen is a walking tragedy and my heart hurt for her. I'm hoping things shape up in book two, I didn't hate it but I'm concerned.

Book one was not NEARLY as rough. DDQ was emphatically so.

I still feel so terrible for Aspen and that cliffhanger was so brutal. If this is your genre of choice there's a good chance you're gonna love this series, if you're coming in new? You will probably not have a good time.

I finally warmed up a bit to Quinton but I still think he's a twerp. There was more romance to the dynamic this time around and I sighed wistfully more than once. This book covers the aftermath of what was done to Aspen, how it dug in and left scars on both of them. INTENSE.

Good read 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I felt so bad for Aspen most of the time, but I did enjoy the book you have to be open-minded and the spicy scenes were great

Wow - 4.5 stars -What A Ride and An Entire Series That Takes You Up and Down

This series did something I never thought could be accomplished - the dark MMC Quinton transforms throughout the series and you actually are hoping he gets his happy ending with the FMC Aspen. One can’t forget this ‘University’ is for the youth of the worst criminals, so Surprise there are a number unredeemable characters, yet you come to realize why they are as they are…a rating scale would be perfect.
How perfect to get this series in one audio book! Perfect.
You’ll find yourself grabbed and unable to let go of tis story with numerous and surprising twists and turns.
I enjoyed the writing and the narration. You need to buckle up and be aware there are scenes that tear your heart out and yet they are slowly pieced back together.
Worth your time and $ for those who enjoy dark romance, strong determined men and woman and people who live by their own code of conduct.

I LOVE this series!!!

I thought I loved eyeball reading this series, but hearing it in audio......I AM SPEECHLESS!!!!!

King of Corium-
I can't wait for more!!!

I love anything written by JL Beck and C Hallman and this book did not disappoint! Aspen is attending Corium to be safe from her fathers actions. While there she runs into Quinton, who is part of a rival family that wants Aspen killed.

This is not a lovey dovey romance at all. Quinton is ruthless to Aspen, but eventually sees his feelings for her but it's too late. That cliffhanger though 😭😭😭😭 i cant wait for book 2!!!!

Drop Dead Queen-
Holy crap, what a wild ride this book took me on!!

Drop Dead Queen is book 2 in the Corium University series and picks up right where King of Corium ended. Aspen has been through so much in her time at Corium and she goes through so much more over the course of this book. Thank God Quinton has stalker tendencies and always looks out for her and tries to keep her safe.

Aspen and Quinton are both slowly realizing there are real feelings between them and they arent "just sex." Poor Aspen cant catch a break though, and Matteo is out to get her. After Q gets some mews and goes home while every one else is home for the holidays, Matteo makes his move and does something horrendous to Aspen. When Q finds out what he has done and what they have lost, he is out for Matteos blood.

I love this Corium world so much, but that cliffhanger gutted me!!! I am anxiously awaiting Broken Kingdom to see how everything plays out! If you havent started this series yet, you really really should!!

Broken Kingdom-
This was an emotional, yet beautiful ending to this phenomenal trilogy!

Broken Kingdom is book 3 in the Corium University trilogy. This is a dark romance, and you have to read King of Corium and Drop Dead Queen first.

If you have read the first 2 books, you know that Aspen has been though so very much. At the end of Drop Dead Queen, something horrible happens. During this book, she is struggling with what has happened and what she has lost.

Quinton will do whatever it takes to keep Aspen safe. Even if it means letting her go. He will do whatever he has to do to make sure she gets a long happy life, and makes it out of Corium alive.

Aspen and Quinton have to fight tooth and nail for their happy ending. Its an edge of your seat, wild ride all the way to the end!

My favorite highlight is this: "As much as a whirlwind this has been, inside, I know it was always meant to be this way. She was always going to be mine. There was never a choice. She belongs to me."

Broken Kingdom is an epic, absolutely beautiful conclusion to Q and Aspens story. I love this trilogy so much, and I cant wait to see if we get more from this world!
