Publisher's summary

Nothing is fair in love.

This is my kingdom. My territory. I own everything and control everyone, Aurora included. She shouldn’t have barged into my world with no armor. She shouldn’t have caught my attention with no warning. Alas, she did. Then she thought she could disappear. If a battle is what it’ll take to protect and own her, I’ll shed blood. Wars aren’t fair, and neither am I.

Rise of a Queen is the second part of a duet and is not stand-alone.

Excellent ending to Duet

This was the continuation of Aurora and Jonathan's story. You think one thing of Jonathan but it gets all turned around in this book.
Aurora manages to surprise you with her strength with what she has been through in her life and what she goes through in this part of the book.
There are many surprises in this last part of the Duet and Rina Kent manages to pull it all together seamlessly to satisfy the reader and answer all the questions that floated around from the last book to this book.
I loved this book and recommend this book to anyome looking for a dark twisted romance.

ugh not worth it for me.

I know a lot of people really like this two book series but I just couldn't get around the main girl being a total airhead. its like she didn't know common sense. I struggled with the first book too thinking after reading the reviews that she would overcome her flightiness and not to mention I got hooked on the cliff hanger. I feel like this story would have been wonderful if she wasn't constantly downing everyone and everything around her. I had to keep skipping when she would constantly repeat things like he doesn't care about me or love me after everything this man has done for her. ughhhh so annoying. I would like to say the voice actors were amazing and the plot of the murders could have been wonderful if done right. but really I wouldn't think its worth a credit.

Shocking

I really enjoyed this second book to this duet. There were a lot of “what the heck” moments, especially at the end when you find out who has been trying to kill Aurora. I love how she’s slowly making Jonathan care about Levi and Aidan. Their relationship is hilarious, because even though they don’t act like they care about each other, they actually do. My favorite scene in here is when Levi and Aiden have the cooking contest.

One of the best things is during the epilogue where we hear how Jonathan is as a grandpa. But my most favorite person in this book is Layla. She has got to be one of the best characters who was created by Rina Kent. I love her, and I hope, in the future we could find a little tidbit of how her life ended.

AWESOME BOOK

No one will ever guess who the bad guys are... it's not what you think. The series had me on the hook and I couldn't put the audiobook down. GREAT JOB RINA AND THE NARRATORS WERE OUTSTANDING!

All Hail THE QUEEN.

There could not be more perfect narrators for this story.
Shane East and Keira Stevens.
I'm SCREAMING.
.SCREAM.ING.
I can't put into words just how obsessive I've become over Rina Kent and her world of delicious, alpha, possessive (I mean OMG POSSESSIVE doesn't even put into words..) men. Jonathan King. Is. Daddy.
That's the only way to put it. The way Aurora and his story flows. It's literally like watching a movie.
I can see everything crystal clear. I can hear it all. It's like I KNOW these characters.
The tension, the angst. The absolute power between them? Incredible.
The narrators bring this book to life like you wouldn't believe. I LOOOOOVE the accents. I love the way they change their voices for the characters. I loved everything about them.
I devoured this book. And I'm on to all the other Rina Kent words because MY GOODNESS I've been hiding under a rock with this author. She's quickly become one of my favorite, FAVORITE writers. I'm enthralled and I can't wait for more. If you havent already started on her books, START THEM NOW. Don't wait like me.

Daddy Jonathan 🔥

I loved this book. The growth in Jonathan was wonderful. Aurora brought so much to his life showing him things he'd never felt before for anyone. It was easy to see where Aiden got his possessiveness from although Jonathan never experienced it before Aurora. I do have to say IMO that Aiden is still the most possessive. Gotta love those Alpha King men. Narration was duet style and definitely the best kind. Both narrators are great! Shane East is a go to guy for me and I think his narration of Rina Kent's books is his best ever. I think its mainly due to my love for the darker bully romance alpha male books that I love to listen to and that's what Shane has the best voice for and Rina is best at writing. I really loved the story. It was my second time listening but felt like the first. I sure hope that there will be a book about Ethan. Maybe he will be paired with Laylah because I sure would like to see her get "her daddy" lol!! Wonderful duet that is a must listen. Dont pass it up.

Omg the ending

I was very hesitant to read this duet because of how much I hated Jonathan in the royal elite series, and I knew that Rita Kent would make me fall in love with him. I don’t want to spoil anything but you just have to read the books. How Jonathan cares for her more than anyone else is amazing. And how Aurora is able to help Jonathan reconnect with Aiden and Levi is just spectacular. I think the voice actors are perfect for this book. Absolutely amazing choice.
