Turns out, we need each other.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2024Verified PurchaseWow what a start to Patrick and Kyla's rocky flying high sparks love story.
Feel bad for Patrick such a good person deep down fixing everone elses screw ups including his father's choices of leadership.
The suspense not knowing whats next? Exciting! The emotions are everywhere.
Kyla bit of a snob but I get it. Her father is no better. "Different tactics same results" quoted by Declan.
They are both in danger whats next for them.
Looking forward to book 2. Thank you Kristen for sharing your talent.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 18, 2021Really enjoyed this book, but I didn't know that it was a spin-off from another series so at times I found myself a little lost. This author really knows how to create a world that you can really find yourself getting lost in. Since the book ends on a cliffhanger, I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2023Verified PurchaseKyla and Patrick mulligan are destined to destroy each other’s hearts. Their families are aligned with marriage. Criminals threaten their fragile existence. This is one exciting series.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 10, 2021Action paced with a well-paced plot and a huge cliffhanger. Helps if you have read some of the other related works first. I can't wait to read the next in the series!
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 9, 2021This book has kept me hooked from the very start. I absolutely LOVED this book as well as the previous series who's characters are related to and mentioned in this book. It is intriguing and compelling and well worth it. Kyla and Patrick are like oil and water but they sizzle between the sheets. They both want control but fear losing it.
This book left on a huge cliffhanger and I CAN'T wait for the next book to find out what happens.
I received a free ARC copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Patrick please!!!
Verified PurchaseYou guys!!!!!! Oh my! I loved Patrick since we met him in Savage Ruler and I was so excited when I heard patrick was getting not only one book, but 3!!!! Corrupted Crown 👑 is the first book in Patrick and Kyla’s story in the Reckless Reign series!
Patrick and Kyla have wanted each other for years and trying to keep their explosive 🧨 feelings at bay proves to be impossible. Patrick not only doesn’t want to betray his best friend, but he also doesn’t want to throw Kyla into the middle of a mafia family. Little did everyone know, her father put her in danger from his own contacts. Now both are in danger and the only way Kyla can stay safe, is by marrying Patrick, whom which she has a love/hate relationship, emphasis on hate. 🤬
This hate is perhaps why their feelings and $ex are so damn 🥵 🔥. I love that they also have the best friends sibling thing going on, but man I felt so bad for Patrick when Logan found out about them. It really seemed like everyone kept shitting 💩 on Patrick the whole time. I can’t wait for the next books so Patrick can come back at everyone that doubts him, and show them who really was the deserving son in the Mulligan Mafia Family. We can also see where the 🔥 between Kyla and Patrick goes in the next two books, cause damn these two are hot 🥵
Overall, yes go read this book!!! If you can’t handle cliffhangers, wait until the full series it released. 📕 Book Two Vicious Vows releases October 7th and 📕 Book Three Tarnished Thrown releases November 4th.
⚠️ This book does contain a scene of attempted sexual assault and some dark themes. Please note potential triggers ⚠️

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb start
Verified PurchaseI always buy Kristen Luciani books I just adore her writing especially the hot Alpha mafia men. This book is superb as first part of the trilogy. Hated the cliffhanger but need to buy the next book as I NEED TO KNOW! Both Kyla and Patrick are both in need of help. I love these two. The chemistry between them is so scorching hot. There is plenty of bad guys after them, plenty of twists and turns, it's a definite purchase. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Thank you Kristen for the start of another trilogy (reckless reign trilogy book 1). 😍😍

Verified Purchase5 stars
*****
I found this book delightful with the anti hero falling in love with our sweet heroine. Their forbidden romance, coupled with their disastrous life following them, kept me hooked into their story and rooting for them all the way.
I will definitely be continuing with this series and following this author for more exciting reads.

5.0 out of 5 stars A twisted, steamy, and entertaining read
Verified PurchaseCorrupted Crown is book 1 in a new dark mafia romance. One may think dark mafia romance, I have read them all but this trilogy feels very different. It is an arranged marriage, but also involves the best friend's little sister.
Pat is one of the sons of Declan Mulligan from the Irish Mafia, Patrick is the enforcer in his family. Now he is also going to be the heir. Kayla is the sister of his best friend and also the girl he loves but knows he has to stay away from, yet he goes all out to protect her... even if it means he has to marry her.
Kayla knows she has a connection with Pat, she may even love him. Although it sometimes feels like he loves her too, he always leaves. Can she bury these feelings for him?
This story ends on a cliff-hanger but I cant wait for the release of the next book to see how it continues!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Action-packed, Entertaining, Page-turner, Steamy, Unpredictable, Wonderful characters
