Her father is in prison and wants to speak with her. Her father was finally captured, because Aurora when she was just 16 years old, turned him into the police. Along with the angry “ we hate each other but our chemistry is off the charts” storyline with King, Aurora’s dad is a serial killer. He does recognize her right away and isn’t happy. King hasn’t seen Aurora in years, since before his wife died. Gasp! And, Aurora looks JUST like her sister. Such a tangled web Rina Kent weaves!Īurora is actually the much younger sister of King’s dead wife. Spoiler- there’s a bit more to it…this other guest is King’s arch-nemesis and father of the bride. She’s looking for money and support from one of King’s very wealthy guests. Aurora attends on the arm of another guest, and her sole purpose for the evening is to save her business.

The book opens with their wedding, where we meet Aurora. King’s son Aidan is marrying his high school sweetheart, Elsa. Alicia suffered from a mental disorder and their marriage wasn’t wonderful. His wife, Alicia, died over a decade ago in a car accident. King is an incredibly successful and completely heartless businessman in the UK. King is the father of Aidan, featured in the Royal Elite series. he’s unbelievably attractive, ruthless, has great forearms, and is a dominant jackass. You can read Reign of a King and Rise of a Queen without having read her other series, but it does help quite a bit (and they were SOOO good, it’s worth it!). This duet has shades of the bully vibe, too. I blew through that series in record time. I mention this because while The Kingdom Duet is technically romantic suspense, it is a spin-off of Rina Kent’s other series, The Royal Elite, which is a bully romance. I feel a tinge guilty about it because the behavior in real life would have me screaming “call the cops, this guy scares the crap out of me!” But, since this is between us, I’m confessing my love for this genre. My current addiction is bully romance books. This book is part of a trilogy and is NOT standalone.Kingdom Duet: Reign of a King and Rise of a Queen So please don’t read this if any of that bothers you. This is a dark high school bully romance, mature new adult, and contains dubious situations that some readers might find offensive. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.ĭeviant King is book one of Royal Elite Series.

I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. One glance and he issues his death sentence. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.
