Now the romance itself is super angsty, so keep that in mind as you read this one. Now even though there is this family connection, it didn't really bother me that much, just the way it was written, Rina Kent really worked it so it was written in a way that worked for this pairing. They are both 17 when their parents decide to get married. Now keep in mind this happens after they kinda get in a relationship somewhat. Now one aspect that might throw some readers off is the 'step sibling' connection.

However, in this one, it just worked so completely and I was completely on board with it. There were elements to this story that don't always work for me.

And yeah loved the redemption and seeing the other side to these two here and their story. It took me a while to realize the connection between Cole and Silver from the previous books. There is a epilogue book and I will read that one but now we finally have Cole's book. Part of me is so sad to know that the series is over.

Ruthless Empire is the last official book of the 'Royal Elite' series. There is some a intensity that really blows some of the previous books out of the water on this and shows a sense of redemption and longing that was so captivating. But when their parents decide to get married, another layer of forbidden enters their relationship. And he is determined to show Silver whom she belongs to. Now Silver is technically engaged to Aiden, but there is a dark connection between Cole and Silver. This is a story that delivers with Cole being one of the four horseman at Royal Elite and with our heroine being the 'Queen B' but it also protrays so much more depth. Cole and Silver have known each other for a long time since they were children. In Ruthless Empire, we have the beginning of he romance between Cole and Silver. Rina Kent definitely delivered on Cole's book and I was so entranced by their connection and all that twisted angst that this author handles so beautifully. But if you are a fan of bully romance or new adult romance with a step sibling twist, then you definitely need to grab this one up. But I definitely enjoyed it in every single way! I had such a job reading this one, and it was so intense at times. Ruthless Empire is the 6th installment and this is where we finally get Cole's book and it was much more twisted than I actually expected from him. This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review.
