Royal Bully by Rachel Van Dyken
3.0

#Smutathon 2020

Feelin Frisky

Having never read the Eagle Elite series that prequels this, I wasn't sure what to expect out of this short novella when I started it. However, by the end I was completely hooked on the characters, the world, and the promising story of the future books we see beginning at the end of this one.

Honestly, I didn't find the two main characters Asher and Claire that intriguing because we just don't have enough time to get to know them. But I'm so stoked for Junior and Serena's story! I'm 100% here for the angsty drama that we only get a quick glimpse at.

I definitely feel like you NEED to read this novella if you plan on reading [b:Ruthless Princess|52060404|Ruthless Princess|Rachel Van Dyken|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1583505050l/52060404._SY75_.jpg|76815421], especially if—like me—you've never read the Eagle Elite books. It's a great way to get a feeling for the characters and how the mafia group is structured. Plus, this book shows the beginning of Junior and Serena's intense feud, which plays a super important role in the next novel.
