Publisher's summary

I grew up a queen among men. Proud. Strong. Royalty.

I’ll do anything for the ones I love, even if it means allowing myself to be forced from my kingdom. I may be stuck having to play Samantha St. James inside the gilded halls of my new school, but I’ll always be Savvy King at my core.

Now Jasper Noble and his merry band of douchebags expect me to yield. That’s funny. They think they’re tough. Gods among men. I know they’re nothing but ordinary bullies.

With threats coming from all sides, my adversaries will come to learn - I don’t bend the knee for false kings.

Absolutely love it!

I absolutely loved these characters when I read this book as an ebook. However, having it read to me just adds so much to the story! This is an absolute must!

CLIFFHANGERRR!!

I loved this book! I need more books that have a strong female lead like this one. Savvy took no sh*t and carried herself like a true Savage Queen. These boys could not faze her. I love the relationship she has with her brother and the Royalty crew. They are protective of her but also let her be the bada$$ she is. Am I satisfied knowing she continued to put Jasper in his place? Heck yes. I'm so excited for the next book. Alley Ciz killed it!!

Holy What!?

Love this story! Characters are well written. There’s nothing about this book that isn’t amazing! I love Saavy! Her attitude and snark are spot on! Jasper is as of right now not my favorite. None of his friends are. I’m all about the royals. Once again our Alley Ciz has left us hang for more! Her playlist is awesome for this book!

spicy cliffhanger

The tension between Savvy and Jasper is so hot. Stephen Dexter is the perfect Jasper. Cannot wait to start the next one!

Fantastic Start

Performance
I thought both narrators did a nice job. I did think Ava sounded a bit breathy or pitchy at times but then I remembered she was narrating for a teen girl so I couldn't really fault her for that. Even if it did take me a few chapters to get used to. I also thought the division between the amount they each narrated and the tempo at which they spoke with to be even and well balanced.
Story
I love a strong Heroine especially in what would be considered a bully romance. When the male and female main characters are more evenly matched it is so much more enjoyable and enticing. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I like the story development and I am absolutely going to continue with this series. The cliffy about killed me and i cant wait for book 2. With the introduction of so many other interesting and well developed characters that I want to get full stories for that is my hope anyway.
If you enjoy authors like Meghan Brandy and A.M. Brooks its a fair bet you will enjoy this as well.

Love ❤ the story

I love the story but couldn't they use the male narrator to do his own voice when the female narrator and him are interacting. Like the narrators on Hate by Tate James, they even use sound effects for phones.

Savage Queen

Savage Queen is the first book in The Royalty Crew series. This book is told from dual perspectives from Samantha (Savvy) King and Jasper Noble. Samantha has had a rough life growing up, and her brother has been taking care of her. However all of a sudden her mother wants her to move in with her and her new husband. She threatens Savvy's brother, and Savvy will do anything to protect him since he protected her.

When she starts her new school she meets Jasper. Jasper is one of the head guys at this new school and gets easily upset when Savvy won't bow down to him and his threats. She stands up to him, and that makes him want her even more.

Savvy keeps her last name a secret, as well as her asthma. Can Savvy show Jasper that she is stronger than he thinks? There is a cliffhanger on this one, and it is pretty shocking. Some crazy things go down. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series!

Also, I loved loved loved the narrators. They are two of my favorite, so it really made this book enjoyable!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have no idea how she has done it, but Alley Ciz has written another book that is even better then her last amazing release. Savage Queen is amazeballs! The audiobook for this one is also spectacular! Stephen Dexter & Ava Lucas both do an amazing job of bringing this story to life. This will definitely be an audiobook that I listen to over and over again.

This book is officially one of my favorite bully romances. The buildup from the angst between Savvy & Jasper is so hot. Some of the best foreplay ever. Savvy isn’t one to be submissive and I love her going toe to toe with the ruler of Blackwell Academy. She is also an amazing friend to Tessa, who is probably one of my favorite side characters. That girl cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣. I really need that girl’s story in my life!

This book ends at a bit of a cliffy, but I am not even mad about it. I cannot wait to see what everyone is going to do in retaliation, somebody is going down and it is going to be epic! I will be grabbing my popcorn when we get to that point and settling in for an epic ride.

I adored this story! Savvy is everything!

Omg!!! What just happened? I absolutely adore Savvy. She’s one badass chick. And don’t even get me started on Jasper. Smoking hot! This book ends in a huge cliffhanger. Can not wait for the next book. Great read!! Stephen Dexter's narration was so perfect as Jasper. And Ava Lucas was smoking as Savvy!

Love Savvy & Jasper

Savvy King is one of Alley’s best female characters, she is sassy and fierce and you can’t help but want to be best friends with her. Jasper is the ultimate bad boy that you can’t help but love anyways. The chemistry between these two is explosive despite how much they don’t like each other and will have you turning the page just to see what happens. This is a duet so it ends on a cliffhanger and it will leave you throwing your kindle across the room, I can hear Alley’s evil laughter as soon as I finished reading this book. Now I’m here impatiently waiting for Ruthless Noble. I loved this book when I first read it and the narration really elevated it. Ava and Stephen did an amazing job bringing Savvy and Jasper to life.
