I've read all of Alessandra Hazard's books and I've never given her books less than 5 stars because she deserves it。 She is a pro， a perfect author that I'm in love with and I'm thankful for all her work and efforts。 However， and here comes my downfall and I'm not saying this is easy for me because Alessandra is the best author for me， no one better out there。 As I said， it's not easy to tell the author you love that she fucked up big this time around。 Like WHY？Let me begin from the beginning an I've read all of Alessandra Hazard's books and I've never given her books less than 5 stars because she deserves it。 She is a pro， a perfect author that I'm in love with and I'm thankful for all her work and efforts。 However， and here comes my downfall and I'm not saying this is easy for me because Alessandra is the best author for me， no one better out there。 As I said， it's not easy to tell the author you love that she fucked up big this time around。 Like WHY？Let me begin from the beginning and answer why I didn't like this book。 Like I said before， I've read every single book she has ever written but while all other books were perfect， this was so far from perfect it can get。 I'm truly sad over the fact that I've been waiting for years for this book to be done and when I finally got it？ It was a disaster！Was this really Alessandra？ Is this really the author I love？ How can she write this bad？ This boring story where she is just repeating the same things she wrote in other books in the Culluvia's Royalty book series？ Did you really enjoy this book？ This lifeless， fast written book that had maybe taken hours to write instead of years or even months？ I regret buying this book， I truly do。 I always go back to her old books and I've never read a book of hers less than twice but this book right here I won't even look at or give a second glance。I know I'm talking too much but I'm so disappointed， so hurt by my favorite author！ If I can't trust my favorite author in the world to deliver， who am I gonna trust then？ I always buy her books blindly， pre-order it on Amazon because she is PERFECT！ Please Alessandra， don't become like all of those other authors。 You are perfect， so please continue to write good stories。 Not this， never this again！ 。。。more

4。5 starsDear Alessandra:You are a genius and I bow at the alter of your creativity。 This was worth the wait for me。 Now you have to know that when reviewing AH， you're not reviewing a literary masterpiece， but you are reviewing something so addictive than you can not put it down。 You also just ignore the plot holes， the ridiculousness and whatever other stuff you may encounter。。。because it's AH。 It's the law。 Now with this book， This is my review: I LOVED IT！ I finished it in one sitting， as is 4。5 starsDear Alessandra:You are a genius and I bow at the alter of your creativity。 This was worth the wait for me。 Now you have to know that when reviewing AH， you're not reviewing a literary masterpiece， but you are reviewing something so addictive than you can not put it down。 You also just ignore the plot holes， the ridiculousness and whatever other stuff you may encounter。。。because it's AH。 It's the law。 Now with this book， This is my review: I LOVED IT！ I finished it in one sitting， as is the law， cursed myself for reading too fast， as is the law， and then reread some parts again。。。 mainly the sex scenes， as is the law。 I don't have anything more to say。 Just read the damn book。 I took away half a star because of the epilogue though。 I wanted more Warrehn and Samir， not who we got。 I wanted a soft sexy scene of them in the future， something like closure。 Also KSAR HAS A CAMEO！ 。。。more

Every time I think I can't possibly love this series more， Alessandra Hazard delivers another intoxicating read。 Loved the dynamic between Warrehn and Samir and their story was packed with juicy reveals and the steamiest of steamy nights。 Wasn't expecting Dalatteya to get her own side storyline but I surprised myself by loving it almost as much as the main plotline。 Every time I think I can't possibly love this series more， Alessandra Hazard delivers another intoxicating read。 Loved the dynamic between Warrehn and Samir and their story was packed with juicy reveals and the steamiest of steamy nights。 Wasn't expecting Dalatteya to get her own side storyline but I surprised myself by loving it almost as much as the main plotline。 。。。more

I got to be honest， I had zero expectations for this book， mostly because the previous books were really bad imo， but this is a masterpiece， is at the height of Unnatural and has everything that Alessandra hasn't write in a long time。 It's perfect and deserves all the support。 I just have one thing to say and it's how it started the sex， though i'm not complaining at all。Anyways， I would like to list why it deserves to be read and rated with 5 stars 'cause i couldn't help notice on twitter there I got to be honest， I had zero expectations for this book， mostly because the previous books were really bad imo， but this is a masterpiece， is at the height of Unnatural and has everything that Alessandra hasn't write in a long time。 It's perfect and deserves all the support。 I just have one thing to say and it's how it started the sex， though i'm not complaining at all。Anyways， I would like to list why it deserves to be read and rated with 5 stars 'cause i couldn't help notice on twitter there were people who didn't like it， which is ok， but HOW？？？ ***THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS***1。 It has dialogue。 Her last book was awful （Ilicit）， there wasn't personality on Anthony/Jonathan's side at all， and here， we can see personality not only in the protagonists， but in all the characters。2。As I had said， there's character development and miraculously not the typical personality that she has been describing for years， Warrehn is more or less what she always writes about， but somehow he shines。3。 Samir is NORMAL。 He is not your typical sassy main character or silly lovely one。 He is just himself， a guy with normal thoughts， a crazy mom and extreme beauty。4。 There's diversity of POV。 I don't know if you guys had noticed， but Alessandra had always write by the sub's pov and it's okay， but sometimes it's okay to change too。5。 There's female characters！ AND THEY TALK！！Well， I think I'm done。 I really enjoyed this book and I hope you guys will too。 Maybe I'm just as crazy as Samir's mother because I love twisted plots， but idc。 。。。more

I waited two years for this book。 I just finished reading it and I'm so happy！ This book keeps the style of the author， I love the grumpy-sunshine contrast of the mc's and how she makes them fit well together。I enjoyed finally having Warrehn's story， he's a tough guy but deep down he has suffered and it makes me happy that he finally had his HEASamir is charismatic and sweet， I love that he stands up for what he thinks is right。 His character seems endearing to me and it is very easy to fall in I waited two years for this book。 I just finished reading it and I'm so happy！ This book keeps the style of the author， I love the grumpy-sunshine contrast of the mc's and how she makes them fit well together。I enjoyed finally having Warrehn's story， he's a tough guy but deep down he has suffered and it makes me happy that he finally had his HEASamir is charismatic and sweet， I love that he stands up for what he thinks is right。 His character seems endearing to me and it is very easy to fall in love with him。I liked seeing Warrehn struggling with his attraction to Samir early on。 I wasn't fascinated by how their relationship started， but I liked how their feelings grew。 Samir and Warrenh have an intense connection and amazing chemistry。I don't like Samir's mom。 Her character is hateful and you really get to hate her throughout the story。 I think she is an important part of the plot of this story and I enjoyed the plot twists along the book。 I love Alessandra’s books。 She never lets me down。 Well written and addicting， Dearly Despised is an entertaining and easy read。 。。。more

Unfortunately， it was not as good as the others in this series。 As usual， it's well written and still an enjoyable read， but it lacks content when it comes to the complexity of the plot。 It could be summarized as follows: You are my enemy， but I am attracted to you， I should not want you， but I want you anyway。。。 Unfortunately， it was not as good as the others in this series。 As usual， it's well written and still an enjoyable read， but it lacks content when it comes to the complexity of the plot。 It could be summarized as follows: You are my enemy， but I am attracted to you， I should not want you， but I want you anyway。。。 。。。more

Bought & read it in one go 😁 It was good， of course， Hazard doesn’t write bad books。 And it had Ksar （❤️）， even if just really briefly。 I must say that everything felt a bit rushed， although the couple’s chemistry was good and natural。 It could have been better with just a bit more slowburn emotion-wise， and a bit more descriptive otherwise。Book two with Ksar & Seyn is still by far my favorite in this series。

I honestly hate to say it but I was a bit disappointed by this one and I don’t know how to explain it。
