First Impressions
Kingdom of Corruption is the 4th installment in the Fausti Family series. This series has been so delightful, and this is where we get the continuation of Kingdom of Corruption with our couple. I have really enjoyed seeing this couple grow in their relationship. In Kingdom of Corruption we have some very interesting reveals that happen and there is some strong level of suspense that develops within this one here. I do think its essential to read the previous books before reading this one here.

First Line
The weatherman had predicted snow.

What I Loved
What I truly loved is the connection that we see Brando and Scarlett building together. I just loved seeing what they have together. The way in which they connect and have such faith in one another. Even though there are some secrets being kept, its more out of protecting each other and wanting the right time to have them be revealed. There is some level of suspense, it didn't come out in the way that I expected, but I truly enjoyed seeing it be revealed and what happens in the end for what is hinted at what our couple will get into, was beyond crazy. But we also see quite a bit of happy couple page time which I really enjoyed. And the descriptions that this author uses, is just brilliant. I love how authentic it feels entering one of her books and how I can literally feel the setting and how vibrantly its written truly impresses me every single time.

The conflict that our couple faces was so heartbreaking. I really felt for these two and what they had to face here and how each of them dealt with it, just felt so real. The author really handled the emotional aspects of this just right.

What I Struggled With
Not really much I struggled with, the pacing was a bit off at some moments so I knocked off half a star for that aspect because I loved everything else in the story.

Overall View
I found this story to be a true delight, packed with sweet and spice and heart that tied me up in knots!

Favorite Quote(s)
I don’t know how to not love you. It’s as natural as breathing, mio marito. Anger passes. So does hurt. But my love for you is constant. I’ve known it my entire life, and before it, and will even after it. Could you hate the one person who makes you feel everything?”
