Great bookI loved this book。 It had a lot of mystery and deep love。 It is very well written。 I highly recommend this book。
Becca,
Andrews books keep getting better and better How am I supposed to go on living my life as if that ending didn’t just happen。 I’m am teetering on the edge of that cliffhanger。 I have always been a fan of Ari。 He is is witty, sarcastic, funny, sexy and always thinking two steps ahead。 GWe have know that Saga has had more to her story and seeing her story and Ari’s come together was masterful。 I often find that when a series is prolonged that the later books starting to loose their luster but that Andrews books keep getting better and better How am I supposed to go on living my life as if that ending didn’t just happen。 I’m am teetering on the edge of that cliffhanger。 I have always been a fan of Ari。 He is is witty, sarcastic, funny, sexy and always thinking two steps ahead。 GWe have know that Saga has had more to her story and seeing her story and Ari’s come together was masterful。 I often find that when a series is prolonged that the later books starting to loose their luster but that has not been the case for the Broken Kingdom Series。 。。。more
Amanda Murawski,
I had high expectations for this book, and it lived up to all of them! Ari has been a favorite character since he was first introduced at the beginning of the broken kingdom stories。 His sharp tongue had me laughing out loud through out this book。 Learning his and Sagas back stories completely broke my heart。 I did laugh a lot reading this book, but I also cried。 This couple might be replacing Valen and Elise as my favorite… The pacing of this story was excellent。 I loved all the secrets that we I had high expectations for this book, and it lived up to all of them!

Hannah Bullard,
SO GOOD。 This series is amazing and this edition to the story does not disappoint。 I’m obsessed。 LJ does a phenomenal job of writing a story that doesn’t become mundane and repetitive。 Her work is phenomenal and this series is one I constantly recommend to my friends and new readers。 If you’re trying to get into reading or back into reading, in a book slump, whatever it may be- give this series and this book a shot。 It’s worth it。 There is a mild cliffhanger, but LJ does it with grace。 She gives SO GOOD。 This series is amazing and this edition to the story does not disappoint。 I’m obsessed。 LJ does a phenomenal job of writing a story that doesn’t become mundane and repetitive。 Her work is phenomenal and this series is one I constantly recommend to my friends and new readers。 If you’re trying to get into reading or back into reading, in a book slump, whatever it may be- give this series and this book a shot。 It’s worth it。 There is a mild cliffhanger, but LJ does it with grace。 She gives you just enough to not drive you crazy, but you’re definitely checking when the next book will be released。 Download it! 。。。more

I love this series。 Book 7 is really good from start to finish。 Love Ari and Saga。 I had mix feelings for Ari, but now OhMgee I Love him。 Saga is awesome and I love her sass。 Love the banter between Ari and Saga。 Love that we got Ari’s back story。 LJ gave us another amazing book。 That it will keep you on your toes and give you all these emotions。 The ending left me yelling because now I have to wait for book 2。 A must Read!!
Breanna Hardy,
Warning: may experience emotional turmoilThis is book 7 in the Broken Kingdom series and just like all the others it's my favorite haha。 But this one I loved just a little bit more。 Ari's wit and Saga's sass are so funny and cute。 I'm a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope and LJ absolutely delivers a story sure to melt your heart! There are twists and turns and a sob worthy cliffhanger but I would read it all over again everytime。 Definitely add to your TBR!

I waited so long for Ari and Saga! I will not reveal too much in this review, only that I feel it stays true to the rest of the series and I am happy with it。This series is near and dear to my heart, and I hope it continues forever! It has everything I love about the Broken Kingdoms with a little more spice。 The ending left me feeling upset because now I have to wait but that's how it goes around here。 I waited so long for Ari and Saga!

Jackie,
This is such a great series。 I loved the characters and the way it started with 1 girl, trying to do what she could to save her family from a shit uncle, to a kid looking for his dad, to a girl looking for her friend, to a deadly guy intertwined in all the action。 Can't wait for the next one!!!!

Kelsey Warren,
I fell in love with Ari in the first book (or maybe it’s the 2nd) but he has always pulled me in so I am so happy he got his own book。 I loved being able to get to hear about his background and loved the true enemy to lovers with Saga。 I adore Andrews and how she can captivate me in whatever story she is writing and being me right into this new kingdom。 I have enjoyed reading about all the characters and love how each “set” is a different couple and kingdom。 Can’t wait to read more!
Emma,
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UPPPP IM IN LOVE ONCE AGAIN。 LJ Andrews never misses 🤩
Jennifer,
Thank you so much to L。J。 Andrews for the ARC of this book。 My first ever and it just happened to be one of my favorite series。 I've been waiting for the 7th book ever since I binged the other 6 last year and it absolutely exceeded my hopes。 This book brought out all of the emotions and I just could not put it down。 Ari's story is so well done and who knew I'd actually come to love Saga。 Her story is heart wrenching。 And that ending! How are we supposed to wait for book 8。 Also, just a thought, Thank you so much to L。J。 Andrews for the ARC of this book。 My first ever and it just happened to be one of my favorite series。 I've been waiting for the 7th book ever since I binged the other 6 last year and it absolutely exceeded my hopes。 This book brought out all of the emotions and I just could not put it down。 Ari's story is so well done and who knew I'd actually come to love Saga。 Her story is heart wrenching。 And that ending! How are we supposed to wait for book 8。 Also, just a thought, Cuyler should get a spin off series filled with lots of Gorm moments。 The Blood Lord was probably my favorite character, aside from those we already knew and loved。 This was a fantastic continuation to fascinating series and I cannot wait to see how the rest of the books play out。 。。。more
Sarah,
Out of all the Broken Kingdoms characters, Ari has been one of my favorites when he first showed up in Valen and Elise's story。 His sassy one-liners, big ego personality, and need to have the last word has always resonated with me。 "I am never distracted, only lost in profound thought。" - classic AriI love his playfulness。 But it wasn't until Den of Blades and Briars that I truly saw how broken and traumatized Ari is - learning his back story in this book was heartbreaking but so eye-opening。 I Out of all the Broken Kingdoms characters, Ari has been one of my favorites when he first showed up in Valen and Elise's story。 His sassy one-liners, big ego personality, and need to have the last word has always resonated with me。 "I am never distracted, only lost in profound thought。" - classic AriI love his playfulness。 But it wasn't until Den of Blades and Briars that I truly saw how broken and traumatized Ari is - learning his back story in this book was heartbreaking but so eye-opening。 I really enjoyed the slow-burn romance between him and Saga and the payoff is WORTH IT!"His touch was a flame。 A burden。 A shackle。 It was a calm I did not want。" - Saga trying to deny oh so many things throughout the book。Through both of their past traumas (and they are INTENSE - much more than any of the other characters in the Broken Kingdoms series), there was love and playfulness and joy。"He kissed my scar, not caused them。" - Saga"You hate me," I whispered。 "Because you don't。 And you can't stand it。 You want to detest me, yet you've found I'm not entirely unbearable。" - AriIf you like these tropes, you'll love the continuation of the Broken Kingdoms series:- Enemies-to-lovers- Found magic- Forced proximity- One bed- "Who did this to you?"- "Touch her and die"- Complete opposite of miscommunication - characters resolve misunderstandings almost immediately。- Bondage (minor)I can't wait to see the rest of Ari and Saga's story!!! 。。。more
Heather,
The 7th book in the series, and it definitely did not disappoint!! With enemies to lovers, curses, and a quest to save a kingdom, the twist and turns just kept coming! I couldn’t put the book down because finding a stopping point just wasn’t possible! And that cliffhanger at the end?! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
Tamara Ellen McCaffrey,
Wow!! I don’t think my brain can put any words together right now! But I need to write this review while everything’s still fresh in my mind。 I absolutely loved this book! Now don’t get me wrong I loved Ari in the first book and he continued to grow on me each time but my love for him grew massively in this book。 The more I got to know him the more I fell in love with his character and understood his reasons/behaviours。I love the relationship growth between Ari and Saga and both characters grew Wow!!

But my god am I excited for the next book。I must say that bathtub scene was just pure spice 🥵🥵 LJ Andrews you really have out done yourself with this book and I really don’t want the series to end as I love every single character with all my heart。Now to end my review I’m gonna share a couple of my fav quotes:“I promise, my sweet menace, someday I shall have you begging for me, one way or another。” “I love you, you beautiful bastard” 。。。more
