Crowned #1
Crowned by Hate
Some would say I have a privileged life. Daughter of the current President of the United States, wealthy, famous, and all things that some girls wish they had.
Only I'd dream of having a simple life. A life where I wasn't marrying the scariest man I have ever met. Well, I thought I had just met him, but it turns out, there's so much I don't know about myself. That's all thanks to a past so twisted, so warped, that no amount of money, or presidential status could wipe it clean.
I'm the rebel child. Or as some may see it, the disappointment. I’ve never cared about expensive wedding gowns, or how much someone paid for a tailored suit. I don’t care if your wedding dress is from Walmart, or if it’s from some fancy, upscale designer line.
So why am I marrying the devil dressed in a thousand-dollar suit?
I'm about to find out how I got here. To marrying one of the most powerful men in the country. The road to finding out, though, is paved with darkness, painted with the blood of innocents, and it leads my ass straight to hell. Only this hell is a multi-million-dollar penthouse suite in New York City where Bryant Saint Royal, sits on his throne.

What was even going on? I'm seriously confused. Yeah, I'll admit that I was reading this in the middle of the night when I could not sleep but still?
I wanted to finish this book since it is rather short. But it was so confusing, too many things stuffed into one book, sort of jumping from one to another.
And after finishing this book, I seriously have no idea what this was about.
I'll probably refrain from rating this book because as I said, I have no idea what this was even about.
But I have to mention that I was not exactly a fan of the writing style, plus the narration from the POV of the main character Isa was somewhat annoying.

Can I just start off saying I HATE cliffhangers? I hate 'em...I hate 'em...I hate 'em. And yes that is me stomping my feet and throwing a tantrum worthy of a two-year-old. *lol* I especially hate them when the book sucked me in and then left me confused as F@CK. Because ladies and gentlemen this was me after finishing this one...
So I am pretty much going to go with a less is more attitude with this review. It's a mind f@ck for sure and best gone into without a lot of forethought. It will make the craziness have that much more of an impact. I will say that I enjoyed it tremendously. The writing was top notch. It was well paced. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. It had twists and turns galore. No OW drama. Some OM drama. The sex scenes were fairly hot. The secondary characters were intriguing. Both main characters were captivating. Especially Isla...and that is all I am going to say about her. Lastly, this ended on a WHOPPER of a cliffhanger that left me confused, shocked and dying to get my hands on the next book in the series.
Not much left to say other than yours truly is giving this one a solid two thumbs up. Bring on book two...

5 TWISTY CROWNS
Nothing is as it seems. That is the best way to describe Crowned by Fate. Every single time I thought I knew what was happening, who was on whose side, Amo dropped another bomb that blew my world apart.
Isa and Bryant are their own brand of crazy, and I kind of loved it. Even when Bryant was dominant and alpha with her, there was an underlying softness and tenderness to it. Isa is straight up crazy and I love it. She is one of the baddest heroines out there, because she doesn't care about anyone or anything. She wants and takes. FIERCE.
Together these two are explosive, making Crowned by Fate another must read for the dark romance lover.

Crowned by Hate was a low-key insane book. You can read it and think that it's just your average dark-themed story, but then you'll get the really messed up parts and it will leave you staring wide-eyed at your Kindle as you try to figure out what you just read. The telling of this story was truly brilliant and it makes me question this authors brain just a little bit. Which I mean in a good way of course.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the story and spoil anything but I will say that Isa intrigued me a lot. I found myself wanting to rush to the end just so I could figure her character out. I liked that she had a mix of strong, I don't give a shit attitude, mixed with a scared girl that just wants some attention.
The ending has me really confused, but it's a good confused. I'm left wondering about so much and it was a killer of a cliffhanger but it has me so excited to get the next part of the story. If you're into the complete mind-fuck reads than this is definitely a book you want to try.

Whoaa.....
What th f*cking hell is this?
The h is a stupid, horny and sex addict bitch. And the H is just another revenge seeking dark hero. This book is so disgusting. I don't know what was happening. The h is giving blowjob to a guy who is her bf, who is also bi and also he is her roommate. Then we are getting flashbacks where the h wants to have fun so she and her friend agrees to get f*cked by some sick bastards who wants to f*ck her without limits. And the horny bitch agrees for that. Then in present we meet the Hero. And he wants her as his wife so that he can make her life hell. Because Blah blah...
This book is definitely not for me.

First of all, Amo… why you do me like that??? That cliffy is going to bother me
FOREVER!!
This story gets FIVE STARS just because of how bad it messed me up. Don’t even know what to tell ya smdh!
Alright. I didn’t love Isa. I could barely tolerate her in the beginning. She was immature, dishonest, insincere, rude, and someone I wouldn’t bother with in real life. She put herself in situations that ‘normal’ people wouldn’t dare venture in, and then wondered why her life was messed up. As the daughter of the POTUS, you would think she’d have a better understanding of the world she found herself in. However, I grew to like her. I’m not sure how or when that happened, but the further along I went in this story, the more she was able to gain my support. In the end, I still don’t think I really knew who she was but I hope that changes as the series progresses.
Bryant is still a mystery to me. Every time I felt like I figured out his motive, something would happen that let me know that I was still in the dark. He was dangerous (still don’t understand why), sexy, immensely successful, and seemed to hold Isa’s life in the palm of his hand. Yet, I think I still don’t know him either. With the mix of side characters who have motives of their own, I was easily confused. Again, I hope things are clearer in the next book.
Crowned by Hate was a big bag of confusion. The writing was top notch. I was captivated from the very beginning. And while I was in the minds of the characters, the author wove a world of craziness that I didn’t want to come out of. How could I be in their heads and still not have a clue what they’re thinking??? The author has this way of writing people who feel real. Their actions and reactions are almost commonplace. The true shock value lies in their motives. And because they’re still unclear, they remain the mystery that sustains my interest for the rest of the books to come. And with that freaking cliffy?! What the heck is going on??? I have no idea what or who is real or not!!!
Amo Jones has done it again! For those of you who haven’t read her books before, I really don’t understand what the hell you’re waiting for. If you like to have your mind messed with (and not always in the best of ways), if you like being led down the twisted road of romance at its darkest, if you enjoy a story that isn’t anything like the others, you need to READ HER BOOKS!!

1 Star
And that is me being nice.
To say I hated this book is an understatement.
Every page is loaded with numerous editing errors. From typos, wrong words, sentence structure, jumpy scenes and much, much more.
Early in the book Isa describes herself as a size 2. And then has the nerve to complain about her 'fat'. Later in the book she says she is a 'fat size 4'. I don't know about you, but neither size is fat nor curvy. They are both skinny. WTH?!
The entire book is written this way.
Contant conflicting and contradicting dialog. Even Bryant's eyes change color no less than 3 times.
Less than 10% of the story makes any sense at all. The author just filled it with 'shocking' moments that did NOT connect to anything. Just thrown in.
There is absolutely no flow to the story at all.
I understand what the author was going for. She missed the mark categorically.
As for the cliffhanger end? Flat out stupid. Just another attempt to 'shock' without any flow.
The only thing it did was clear up why, somewhere in the middle of the story, the scene where Bryant was holding a non-existent baby in some kind of hospital.
This is so badly written and so poorly executed it has turned me off from ever reading another book from this author.

OMFG! This is EVERYTHING AND SO MUCH MORE! This is dark and twisted and it's suck your black soul and never give it back!
Crowned by Fate is the second book in Crowned Duet. It can’t be read as a standalone! You need to read Crowned by Hate first. It is a dark romance with thriller and crime elements.
We can read this story in different timeline, from Bryant and Isa’s POV. Isa is more powerfull as the first book. She is a real fighter. And Bryant ❤️ He is clever, protector and the most dominant man who I know! I’m fall in love with him.
I’m really excited for them. I want them to be happy, but I knew this was not going to be easy.
I cried a lot!!! It was a feeling like when you can't breathe!!!!

A perfectly twisted tale that had my mind running wild till the very end!
The web of deceit in this book is indescribable! I am in awe at the pure talent of Amo Jones! She Never ceases to amaze me with her vivid plot lines! Her mind is so beautifully twisted and I’m here for all of it!
The continuation and ending of Bryant and Isa’s story is going to shock and awe! The way they push each other omg! Their heat is off the charts and their emotions bleed off the page! If you haven’t started the duet start with Crowned by Hate and then dive into this beauty! Just know that nothing is as it seems and you are not ready for this but also trust that it’s everything you need!

She will steal the floor out from under you. She will shatter your heart and leave you broken. She will completely turn everything you think you know upside down. And as you are cursing her out in your head, you will know that you truly love the toture she is making you endure!! The queen of dark and twisted romance brings this duet full circle and you’ll never be the same.
Isa is not gone. She was lost inside her mind. Everyone abandoned her thinking she was gone forever. Our girl is back and she’s ready to fight.
Bryant is the man we love to hate. That’s not going to change until we know the truth. His road to redemption will be an uphill battle.
The chemistry is about as hot as it gets between Isa and Bryant. Even when they hate each other, their attraction sizzles. A connection decided by fate can’t be denied by hatred.
So many twists I can’t even begin to untangle. A love so deeply rooted, nothing can destroy it. Some family that will betray you, but other’s that will step up and stand by you.
The angst may just kill you. So many secrets my head was spinning. Don’t try and guess what the author has planned. You’ll never expect the ride you are about to take!
Buckle the eff up!!! It’s a bumpy ride!!!

Now I understand the genius image on the bookcover....
Oh how I wish I wasn't so committed to my plans to complete my reading challenges for two reasons. I want desperately to read the next book in this amazing saga. And... I would be able to take the time and do a full review presentation. This book deserves more than this, my "review-lite".
" Crowned by Hate" is my first exposure to Amo Jones and I just love her writing style, not to mention her warped sensibilities. I mean this as high praise. This well-written story checks all the boxes for me. It is mysterious, dark, suspenseful... inadvertently romantic. The story has characters who have surprising hidden natures and agendas beneath their masks. It is explosively erotic. Ahh...This eroticism being the best part!
While not all is revealed about what conspiratorial elements are at play through our female and male protagonist narrators, we grow closer to Bryant as he can't help himself from falling for Isa. At the same time, our intimacy with Isa gradually wans as she becomes more unknowable moving through the plot points of the story.
Bryant is the aloof, Dominant, beautiful man who wants revenge and has plans for something more. He is beautiful in face, form, genetic gifts and everything that makes a girl's heart go Boom! Isa is a hot beautiful mess. She is a rebel and a disruptor. She claims to suffer from nymphomania and is completely unconcerned that she has an addiction to sex.
Options.... I like options. Everyone likes options and the reader is given the option to choose a HEA. Oh, but this author knows for whom she writes! So adding to all the glorious [hate-fudging], she tosses in a solid [mind-fudge] for those of us... which is actually most of us... who choose to read on past the point of madness.
I would not call the ending a "cliffy" but the ending compels you to need the next book. Hence, the source of my dilemma. I have 5 reading challenges to finish before the year's end with each book carefully selected for the possibility of fulfilling a number of the challenges. Ugh...The next book must wait for me, but I will definitely get to it. I lurve this story too much to not finish it.
Lucky for you if you choose to give this series a try and you can read the books back-to-back. I completely recommend this opening salvo in this erotic, twisted, "romantic" mind bender. If only for the glorious [hate-fudging]. Pardon the euphemism... I'm writing this in my kindle and posting it simultaneously on Amazon and Goodreads. You all know the score on that.
Go... Go now... Get this... Read and enjoy. You know who you are that will devour this dark jewel.

FIVE MINDBLOWING STARS for Isa and Bryant ❤🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Honestly, I'm confused and totally lost.
I’ve read a variety of books so far, but nothing could prepare me for this one.
Although I'm familiar with Amo's writing style, this book was completely different and a real refreshment that experienced my readers' boundaries with each page.
This book made me think throughout my reading and I had the feeling that I was slowly connecting the threads of the story, but at one point I got lost and I no longer knew who was the positive character and who was negative in the story.
"Crowned by Hate" is suspense romance with enemies to lovers trope and much, much more.
Isa is an unusual female character who intrigued me from the very beginning of the book and I wanted to know more about her.
I found out more about her but I also didn't.
Bryant is a male character I didn't like from the beginning but as the story unfolded his behavior towards Isa began to change and so did my opinion of him.
Do you love Amo's books?
You're looking for a dark, suspense and twisted book that will blow your mind away?
If is "yes" your answer, then this is definitely a book for you!
Highly recommended!!!
P.S. Can't wait to read "Crowned by Fate"!!!

I’ve read a variety of books so far, but nothing could prepare me for this one.
Although I'm familiar with Amo's writing style, this book was completely different and a real refreshment that experienced my readers' boundaries with each page.
This book made me think throughout my reading and I had the feeling that I was slowly connecting the threads of the story, but at one point I got lost and I no longer knew who was the positive character and who was negative in the story.
"Crowned by Hate" is suspense romance with enemies to lovers trope and much, much more.
Isa is an unusual female character who intrigued me from the very beginning of the book and I wanted to know more about her.
I found out more about her but I also didn't.
Bryant is a male character I didn't like from the beginning but as the story unfolded his behavior towards Isa began to change and so did my opinion of him.
Do you love Amo's books?
You're looking for a dark, suspense and twisted book that will blow your mind away?
If is "yes" your answer, then this is definitely a book for you!
Highly recommended!!!
P.S. Can't wait to read "Crowned by Fate"!!!

This is one of the most difficult reviews for me to write. I just ugggh. I love Amo Jones. I always love her plots. She is the queen of dark romance. I’m just sad I didn’t like this one. Especially since I really did like the first book.
So as I have already stated that I’m really disappointed with this book. I just couldn’t connect with Isa at all. I did not understand her or her actions, she felt bipolar to me. One minute she is saying and doing something and the next she is doing the complete opposite. There were some scenes I had to read twice or thrice to understand what is happening or what these people are talking about and sometimes I still didn’t understand. Sooo much was happening in this book like sooo much that it was difficult for me to keep up especially since it was a quick paced book. Not as fast as the first though. I feel like because so much was happening in a short period of time even the characters weren’t able to process everything. It just got really confusing for me, the plot was all over the place.
So yeah, that’s the reason I just couldn’t like the book no matter how much I tried to. I just got a headache every time I read Isa’s POV girl was just so complicated to understand for me.

✨“I’m about to marry my worst enemy, I’m pretty sure the only threat to my life is from my husband-to-be.” ✨
ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING in any sort of way
I have been played from start to finish.
What a plot twist ! I didn't see that coming at all!
I'm so happy I've waited this long to read it , the wait would have destroyed me ,literally.
Other than that I loved this story.
It was filled with mystery , lies and all kind of tension .
The relationship between Bryant and Isa was something else, filled with passion , chemistry and so much feelings.
Their journey wasn't easy at all , all the plot twists and revelations didn't make it less complicated .
Everything about Bryant was so calculated that you wouldn't understand util It's too late .
✨"Bryant Royal is calculated, smart, coherent. He’s one hundred steps ahead of the human race and about three steps behind God. There’s no outsmarting someone like him,” ✨
And Isa's instinctive and inflamed personality made her the perfect match and a real challenge for Bryant .
This story will really push your limits , It will left you wander about what you just read.
Was It real? I'm still on a rollercoaster of emotions that won't stop anytime soon.
✨“I don’t run, and if I am running, you should probably run too because that means something is chasing me.”✨
It will literally put you out of your comfort zone , in any possible way.
So get ready to enjoy the ride, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did.
I gave it absolutely 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
enjoy.

Any idea when this book will be released??????

„In the end, all that matters is who made it with you.”
If after reading Crowned by Hate your mind was blown away, then be prepared that after Crowned by Fate absolutely nothing will be left of it. The mindgame Amo pulled in this book has drained all of my brain cells. After the stunt Jones pulled at the end of book #1 in the Crowned Duet, I was very curious how this story will unfold. But what I have just read? It’s indescribable. I felt like I was thrown in the middle of the escape house. Pure insanity!
If you liked Isa in the previous book, then you will pay homage to her in this one. She's a real rebel queen! Though as nails, courageous, not bowing down to anyone. Even in moments when her whole life was at crossroads, she dealt with everything with her head held high. I love this badass in Louboutins!
Bryant doubled everything he was before. He's more dangerous, more ruthless and more sexy. His commanding nature radiates from the pages and immediately forces you into submission. This guy is the embodiment of a bad boy in a good suit, with a nice splash of kink.
Their story is like a tornado, which effects you cannot predict. After a moment of rotating, there may come either calmness or complete destruction. Both Isa and Bryant have very strong personalities and they clash like no other couple. But they love just as hard and the power of their feelings passes through every messed up situation. Their connection is exceptional and the passion they share is out of this world. I love these two something fierce!
Conclusion to the Crowned Duet was worth every second of the wait. Amo answered all the questions, cleared up all the mysteries, and at the same time took me on the ride of my life and showed such an epic love story that I want to cry from happiness. I devoured this book in one sitting and I wasn’t able to put it down even for a second. There are so many twists and turns that my head is still spinning. I have no idea what kind of black magic Jones practices, but her words are completely addictive. Her stories are always unique and captivating. Crowned by Fate is just another proof of it.

✨“I was built from ice, and he was made from the waters of the Atlantic, but essentially, that same ocean that created Bryant was the very same that I built my ice walls with.” ✨
I don't think there are enough words to describe what I felt reading this book.
I'm still speechless
This story really played a number on me and on my sanity(If I ever had one).
Nothing was how It looked like, everything was upside down , for a moment I really couldn't understand what was happening and how did I miss that .
It was all so twisted and filled with plot twists and revelations that I could't believe what I was reading .
✨“A love lost wasn’t yours to keep.”✨
I couldn't put It down for a second, I needed to know ASAP what was gonna happen next.
I think I finished It in less than 3 hours , and in all that time my mind was blowed away by the perfection and limitless of this amazing story.
I doubt about an happy ending for Bryant and Isa from start to finish , there where to much things that took me constantly on the edge.
Their journey was filled with tempests and hurricanes .
But the chemistry between them has always been undeniable , and Bryant's alpha behavior was everything . And how Isa always found a way to challenge him was so enjoyable.
And let's not forget about Isa and Devon bond , it was so good and filled with funny moments. Their connection was also undeniable , I loved it . It reminded me of Miles and Millie's relationship from razing grace .
✨"Loving her was a constant battle, but It was a war I was willing to die for"✨
I devoured every single page , and I enjoyed every moment .
If you loved and hated at the same time Crowned by hate , get yourself ready for another melt down .
I gave it nothing less than 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hope you'll enjoy it like I did.

I don’t even know where to begin. I am distraught. I am confused. I am furious as hell and I am so damn shocked, I’m still trying to pick my jaw up from the ground since I read this book 2 days ago. How can I even begin to put into words just how much of a gigantic mindfuck this book is? There aren’t enough words. I could write pages and pages about it and yet it still wouldn’t be enough to explain the total clusterfuck of a ride this book is. It’s infuriating.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book since the first teaser Amo dropped in her reader’s group. Amo has a way of creating alpha assholes who take it to the next level. I have never ever met an asshole of epic proportions such as Bryant Saint Royal and yet every part of my body thrums and pulses for him. He has an aura that he carries with him easily, that seeps into the deepest part of your pores and burns you like a fever. Add to the mix, Isa and it’s like watching a very bad train wreck right before your eyes. You don’t want to watch but you can’t seem to tear your eyes away. Her sassiness, her bitchy attitude, her sex addicted ways & her body seem to test Bryant to limits he’s never seen before. It’s such a beautiful thing to witness.
This book, honestly, destroyed me. It ripped my heart straight from chest and crushed it with its bare hands until there was nothing but dust. It’s sinfully sexy with a touch of rough darkness that would make even a nun moan in her robes. It sucks you in, captivates your soul and demands everything from you. Its a book that won’t be easily forgotten. Filled with twists like you’ve never seen.
The best thing about Amo’s books is her unpredictability. The level of crazy that fills her small body is honestly surprising because never did I expect this level of fuckery to come from her twisted head, and I’ve been a fan of hers from the very beginning. I gotta admit as the book progressed, I was beginning to find it dull, waiting for the next plot twist. And then I began to get very disappointed at how rushed everything felt. There were a lot of unanswered questions, plot holes and bits that didn’t make sense. But that plot twist, it made up for everything. I mean, I still have a lot of questions but goddamn, my mind is spinning. Because it makes sense, but then it doesn’t. I sound confusing but this book has an affect on me I never knew possible.
I am DESPERATE for that next book. My mind won’t rest until I find out what happens next. I haven’t done this book the tiniest bit of justice in explaining, it’s just something you MUST read for yourself. Never have you read dark romance like this before. This will push you to your limits, it’ll make you think, make you heat up with desire and shake with rage but it’s for the history books because I can guarantee, you’ll walk out of this book different than when you started.

“Fuck.” He bites on my bottom lip, enough for the metallic taste of blood to cling to the back of my throat. Pressing another kiss to my lips, he slides off my body and slaps my pussy. “It’s mine whether you fucking admit it or not. She knows who her daddy is.”
THIS IS NOT A HEARTS AND FLOWERS READ. I mean, it's Amo. This story is MESSED UP. Warning you now! Again, it's Amo, and I MEAN THAT WITH UTTER RESPECT. Ok, now book rant time, grab a seat....
This duet did so many things to me, I didn't know WTF was happening because one minute I'd by jizzzing my pants, the next I'd be swearing, gasping and screaming and wanting to throw my kindle across the room saying "WHAT THE F IS THIS SHlTTT, I LOVE IT GIMME MORE!!" I don't even really know what else to say, but with my struggle reading the last few months, I freaking KNEW that the QUEEN of dark and twisted mindeffery was going to take me to the brink of I. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. And hell yes she did! TOP READ of 2020 for me. Thank you Amo Jones, for ALWAYS bringing me to places I never thought I wanted to go, and for slapping me in the face out of my book funk. AND YOU GUYS, BRYANT IS FREAKING EVERYTHING AND ONE OF MY NEW FAVE BOOK BOYFRIENDS EVER. EVER. Both books are in KU!

Jesus Christ. I need a minute. Or five. What a story. I swear Amo Jones is the legit boss with sucking you in and spitting you out. She doesn't pull her punches when it comes to her books and will lay it all out there for her readers - sexy or shocking. Crowned by Hate was one of the best mindfks of the year. No doubt. It was sexy, twisted and so intense. I couldn't stop reading the minute I started and all I wanted was more Isa and Bryant. And that ending? OMG. I need book two NOW!!!
So this will be one of the vaguest reviews I have ever written and without much detail as going in blind is the best way to go when reading a book by this author. And to be honest, even if you read the blurb you honestly will still wonder wtf you read as in true Amo Jones fashion, she did the damn thing and left you sputtering in a heap on the floor but no doubt wanting more. This book was so twisted and crazy but so sexy. You wanted more Isa and Bryant even though this story wasn't all cookies and rainbows. It was dark, twisted and cringeworthy at times. I couldn't help but cover my mouth while reading at times as the shock and tension and SUSPENSE was out of control. Do yourself a favor, pick up this novel and be prepared to be blown away. I was and still am and am now left with SO MANY questions. This book was epic. I bow down to the Queen. Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula

I'm going to rant. But this is not an angry rant. It's just a ha-ha rant.
This book has the most convoluted plot I've ever read. I think.
Have you ever watched Gag Concert (the Korean skit show)? There was this funny skit called 'Knew This Would Happen' that just beautifully described what this book was to me. It is so cringingly bad to see these characters trying to one upped each other. It was so stupid even the shocking moments, plot twists moments, I found myself laughing over them.
Like, "of course, you knew this would happen". <-- sarcastically said with rolling eyes.
Now now, let me talk about that hilarious ending, which took the drama up to high heaven, that I was confused between the book and the telenovela my mother kept binge watching during this quarantine.
I couldn't fucking believe this book. It was so bad that it was funny. I still couldn't stop laughing!

Dumbest story I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. No character development, there was little chemistry between the main characters, and the story just didn’t make much sense. I’m astonished by all of these 4 and 5 star reviews to be honest SMH.

FIVE BRILLIANT STARS for Isa and Bryant ❤💜🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
THIS BOOK DESERVES MORE THAN FIVE STATS!!!
Amo did it again!!!
She won me over again with her writing style and unique story!
This book gave me all the feels!
As I read, my emotions constantly changed from fear, anger through laughter to tears to a broken heart in a thousand pieces so that in the end my heart would be filled and get the end I wanted and wished for from the beginning.
This book kept me awake all night because with each chapter the story became tenser and tenser and I couldn’t fall asleep due to too much curiosity to find out what would happen next.
It hasn't only a well-crafted plot and unforgettable characters, but each chapter contains great and true quotes that I could not help but underline.
"Crowned by Fate" is suspense romance with enemies to lovers trope and much, much more.
Isa is a female character who has been interesting to me from the beginning, and after reading this book she found a place in my heart.
Independent, brave, and without filters who will say what she thinks and who is ready to do anything to protect the people she loves.
Bryant.
A character I hate and love at the same time.
I have to admit that he often gave me a headache while reading just because I didn’t know what his hidden intentions were.
But in the end, like Isa, he grew close to my heart because of his protective attitude and unconditional love for Isa and the people he loves.
Isa and Bryant's relationship is a pure explosion and with all their imperfections they make a perfect couple.
I can't, not to mention Devon.
I fell in love again and I think I have a new book boyfriend.
Oops.
I wouldn't mind if Amo writes his book as well.
If you love Amo's writing style and you're also looking for suspense romance that will blow your mind away, this is the DUET you NEED to read the next!!!
Highly recommended!!!

Get's out one of those big foam fingers points and shouts "Mind f**k right here".
I haven't a clue how to begin, I went from trying to get my head around Isa's self destruct rebellious ways putting herself in danger sexually to the suspense and mystery that surrounded Bryant wanting to marry Isa.
A successful business man marry's the presidents daughter and uses blackmail and video footage of Isa's past as leverage to get her to agree.
What starts off as a hate relationship changes to one of attraction and lust then develops further where you can see both characters developing feelings.
Although the plot has twists and turns and there's an air of suspense I was slowly beginning to think all the bad was going to come good and Isa and Bryant would have a hea.
How wrong was I?, and wow, what an ending, for now anyway.
Crowned by hate is like a slow burning dynamite stick and then BOOM your left with your jaw hanging.
[image error]
I'm looking forward to book two, I'm hoping for a hea I wouldn't be a romance reader if I didn't and I'm hoping these characters can find normal, a life without drama, danger and I cant wait to see what will be revealed and where this plot is going.
An intense, dark and gripping read.
Contains scenes of rape and definitely not for the flowers and romance kind of reader but if you live on the dark side grab it and enjoy the trip.
Told in first persons dual pov.

This was a fast paced book and I certainly liked the premise. Who doesn't love a love/hate relationship? The push and pull between two people who shouldn't be attracted to each other yet are?
Sadly, the story fell flat for me. The character development wasn't enough for me to invest in the heroes and I didn't connect with them. The ending...I am not sure about that ending. It had the shock factor for sure but for me it had the opposite effect. I don't think the story needed it but I am sure other readers might think otherwise. It just confused me because I think I liked where the story was heading before that ending came at me full force.
Good idea but I didn't like the execution. It wasn't for me, it might be for you.
Sadly, the story fell flat for me. The character development wasn't enough for me to invest in the heroes and I didn't connect with them. The ending...I am not sure about that ending. It had the shock factor for sure but for me it had the opposite effect. I don't think the story needed it but I am sure other readers might think otherwise.

As of now, 2 Stars!
I'm putting this book on hold but will mark it as read.
Will I be getting back to reading this again?
Maybe yes but probably no.
Why? I don't feel mindf*cked. Instead I felt like I was thrown a couple of twist unbeknownst to me and completely out of the blue just to make the story shocking. Was I amazed? No. I've reached 93% and I still don't have the drive to finish the book - it's been more than a month.

***4 "Beep. Beep." stars***
“I don’t run, and if I am running, you should probably run too because that means something is chasing me.”
Oh my!!!! What the hell???? Wow!!! Just wow!!!
I was hearing that this book was fucked up and honestly, while i was reading it i was wondering why the hell everyone was saying that thing!!!
Okay, this book was a big mess, but i thought that i knew what was happening after all... and the key word is "thought" cause the last two chapters made me realized that i knew shit until that moment....
OMG!!! I need the second part!!!! I need to realize what is really happening in here!!!!
"He reminds me of someone or something. Something calculating. Something I'd only witnessed on someone once in my life."
Honestly, i don't know what to say about this book, cause I'm still trying to figure it out myself....
But the truth is that all this freakin' mess did a great impact and that it has the ability to leave you craving more like a crack...
Bryan and Isa were confusing as hell...
Their relationship??? Confusing as hell!!!
Only their marriage seemed less confusing, but was it really??? Hmmm...
"Oh, we're definitely going to kill each other before we've even reached the boring phase of marriage."
Isa was the daughter of the president of United States...
God, she was trouble with a huge T... She wasn't the role model daughter and she had so many shitty issues!!!
And then one day out of nowhere, Bryant Royal came into her life and he started to make demands... Crazy demands for so soon, but he is holding something against Isa and one of his demands is for her to become his wife...
"I'm about to marry my worst enemy, I'm pretty sure the only threat to my life is from my husband-to-be."
Honestly, Bryant is one man full of contradictions...
He was giving me a whiplash...
He was cold, he was hot... He was cruel, he was tender... Arrrr!!! For God's sake, man!!!!
And i really don't know what were his true motives behind his actions....
Phew!!!! I need some freakin' answers cause i'm losing my mind here!!!!
"Revenge in the sweetest way possible. I'll make your life a living hell while gaining the benefits of marrying the president's daughter."
This was a really fucked up story with two very dysfuctional characters who together they were working really good!!!
But there are many creepy things that are standing between them!!!!
The plot had so many holes and i have to believe that Amo will fill them out on the next installment!!!
God, this woman's pen is fucking up with my head...
And the bad thing??? I like it!!! Oups!!!
"Sometimes the bad people win."

July 7, 2020 WHAT.THE.FUCK??!
The book was amazing, Amo Jones is an amazing author, so I'm not gonna waste any time talking about how good the book was. So let's just skip to the bad part.
What the hell happened? The story was written amazingly until 80% of the book but after that.....what happened? I got the story until the part she got kidnapped but after that...nothing. nada. I JUST DON'T GET IT!!! I'm confused and flustered as hell right now.
After she gets kidnapped by, well you-know-who (I'm not gonna give away spoilers for those who haven't read it) what happens? Some part of the story is written in a different font...which denotes the past..or at least that's what I thought. Cause before in the book, there is a different font used for the past, but then when nearly 80% of the book is done and she gets kidnapped, some part of the story is written in 'that' font. Aaaand little ole' me, thought that it was the past. But it wasn't. I THINK. I mean, I'm still not sure. Cause it was the present, and then I just don't know what happens. Okay I'm rambling now. And I probably make no sense. But seriously. I am full of so many questions right now and the first few chapter of the next book have left me with more. How do they find her? How does Bryant know where she is? How do they rescue her? Is she dead? and what about the part where they renew the vows? Are Brooke and Isa the same person? Are they even real? Is any of it real? I'm so confused and I have so many more questions.
I'm pretty sure my book was missing a few pages and even some paragraphs here and there but there is no way to find out as I was reading it on my kindle.
Can anyone who has read the book help me out? PLEASE?! *me begging on my knees* because not understanding this book is only making me flustered and mad as fuck. Not to mention me feeling stupid cause not understanding a book has never happened to me before.EVER.
Anyways, once again someone help me out!! I'm not gonna rate this book, at least not until I figure this book out and maybe then I can actually rate this book and write a review with a calm mind, and not when I'm angry and bothered like I am right now.
Enjoy! x
