A twisted game gone too far. A woman on the run. Three men who won’t stop hunting.

The pageant has ended, but for us, the game has only just begun.

Konstantin, Elyah, and Kirill made my life a living hell during the pageant, and now I’m going to return the favor.

They want me and the secret I’m carrying, but they’ll have to prove they’re worthy before I let them call me their queen. It won’t be easy when their pasts come back to haunt us. Pasts that are soaked in blood.

The chase is on, and this time, the prize is more precious than diamonds.

The prize is my heart.

ARC provided for an unbiased review.

After a daring escape from the men who held her captive, Lilia Aranova took refuge in a foreign country. Just when things started to feel normal, her life upended all over again.

I loved Lilia in book 1. This time I was a little annoyed by her pushy and demanding behavior. Of course, Kirill stayed on as my favorite character. I loved learning about his and Konstantin’s background.

I always wanted a woman who would look good covered in blood.

The lack of sexy scenes in the previous book was made up twice over in this one. I loved the dynamics between the characters and would be really happy if, in the future, the author explored more on Kirill and Elyah’s “prison period.” Overall I enjoyed this book even though the ending was too much for my preference.

Crowned is the conclusion of Pageant duet. The series would appeal to readers of dark reverse harem romance.
