2 STARS "I want to feel you, Elsa. I want to engrave myself under your skin as deep as you engraved yourself under mine.” The characters and the idea for the story were great, i guess, but if it weren't for that I was interested in what happened to them in the past, I would just stop reading it. Firstly, Elsa should really get a grip. I thought she will be a stronger character, but she is too submissive to Aiden. It’s kinda weird that their whole relationship is based on lust and that she can’t say no to him. Also our main character Aiden, I get it the author gives us the warning about him, but the things this guy is doing to Elsa. He is literally the walking red flag. I love dark romances but it’s kinda funny visualizing 16 year old boy threatening you that he "will destroy you" ( it was in the first book ). I will probably finish the whole trilogy and then the whole series because I am invested, and I love series about a group of friends.

well after not reading this for a whole damm year i continued, and well im very intrigued abt aidenelsa, their childhood, stunned. the way they are connected damm. just passing by here bc imma go to the last one bc that plottwist DAMM- - "You think I give a fuck about what everyone thinks?" "You will." "Because this time, it'll be a fight to the death, King." King. She's calling me King. I told her to call me that when I was on the mission to destroy her, but now it feels like a stab straight to the back." - "Then we're over," "That's where you're wrong, sweetheart," "Being enemies doesn't change the fact that you're fucking mine." - "Finding her was never an option. It was always bound to happen. I waited eight years to find her and if she thinks I'm letting her go now then she really doesn't know me. And here I thought she was beginning to understand me." - "Until her. Elsa fucking Steel. She was supposed to be another chess game with a known result, but she's turning out to be more unpredictable than any game I played before. She barged on my board, shuffled my formation, and wreaked havoc in my court. Everything changed when she refused to be a fucking pawn like she was supposed to." - "What are you doing?" "Getting you back." "Getting me back from where?" "From whoever was trying to take you away from me just now." - "Just sleep," "Why not?" "What if they come back?" "I'll be here." "Remember when I told you that I'll protect you?" "That includes the monsters from your nightmares, Elsa." - "What if you lose interest in me, too?" "Never." "I've been addicted to you since I touched you. I can't stay away from you even if I wanted to, sweetheart. So don't ask me to. Don't even suggest it." - "I told you I don't remember my dreams." "Hmm." "One day you'll dream of me as I dream of you." - "It's weird, right?" "It's not weird to miss people." "I think I missed you, too, sometimes." - "Is it that important to you?" "It was the day I decided you'll be mine till the day I die." - "Come back, okay?" "I'll always come back for you, sweetheart. You're a queen, not a pawn." - "Why do you not want me to love you?" "Loving me is a one-way road, sweetheart. You can never go back. You can never fall out of love or any of that shit. It's permanent and it's for life." "Promise you won't go back," "I promise."

He's always assaulting her and his threats don't mean anything anymore. The good thing ab this book was the plot twist and cliff hanger

don’t get me wrong, I love their love story - but this should have ended on the first book. It’s so repetitive 😫

La historia en este segundo libro toma un matiz más retorcido pero, sigue muy entretenida e intrigante. He de decir que, la relación entre Aiden y Elsa es un poco lineal, siento que no trasciende más allá de lo físico aunque si lo hace en cierto modo. Es confuso jajaja.

What the fuck did I just read? Lol. That was some weird shit and all the secrets that were revealed were criminal minds serial killer level stuff. Idk, I don’t mind a dark high school bully romance once in a while but the family history between Elsa and Aiden was too much to be remotely sane. All throughout the book I stopped caring about them and was more interested in Nash and Silver’s relationship and maybe even a little curious about Kim and Xander. Will I read the next book in the series? Yeah probably bc I’m trash but I’m not dying for the sequel or anything.

Steel Princess is book 2 in the trilogy involving Aiden and Elsa. This book kicks off right after book one ends so you can easily jump right into this one. This one was so packed with dramatics and bullying of course, but in a different way. I just knew that this one would be bananas but yet its this catnip that I can't seem to get enough of. Rina Kent definitely knew what she was doing upon writing these books. I couldn't seem to get enough of this one. In Steel Princess, we get the heroine who does some payback. She overhears a conversation, and yeah we see some truths revealed on the intentions of Aiden, but not everything is black and white and through the game of cat and mouse that these two play with each other, they both learn the significance it and realize the value that they have together and that its worth fighting for. But then of course, another truth bomb comes into play and it delivers on another cliffhanger. It just never ends, but we see the significance of it here. I really had a blast with this installment, and just seeing the various elements of this bully romance, and that deeper portrayal of the complexities to their relationship. I was so drawn into Aiden and Elsa, and seeing them work through some things. We do see what they are willing to do for each other and the type of connection that they have. I was instantly ready to jump into book 3 and see their finale.

If I completely ignore the portions in first book of sexual harassment, this series could be a gem! Rating 2 stars only because of those portions.
