I loved the audio omnibus. Zara Eden and Connor Brown did a fabulous job narrating these characters and Pink Flamingo did a phenomenal job producing it. I loved experiencing this story again via my ears and can’t wait to do it all over again soon.

I started this series in prep for the new release, Reign of Freedom, and I’m so happy I did. I love bully books and King of Corium featured all my favorite parts. This one is chock full of triggers, so be sure to read those before starting.
I really love Q. He is just the right amount of alpha a$$hole who craves control and he found his salvation in Aspen. I love the dynamics between them, the constant push and pull as they slowly fall for each other. He bullies her something fierce, but he’s the only one allowed too, protecting her from anyone else who even thinks about it.
There are so many mysteries going in that I’m excited to discover the truth about. What happened to Adela? What’s up with Matteo? Something is clearly going in there, more than we can see… Who wants Aspen dead? And what the h3ll was Ren thinking in that cliffhanger?! Looking forward to Drop Dead Queen!

That cliffhanger was so rough *sobs* but the rest of it was so, so good. I’m absolutely loving Aspen and Quinton and watching them fall in love. We hit the midpoint of a bully series for sure, neither of them hate each other anymore and yet no one’s willing to admit it. Quinton has hit the touch her and I’ll unalive you stage (my favorite!) and is threatening anyone who comes too close.
The beginning of this one starts right where King of Corium left off. We’re not sure what happened to Aspen on the helicopter…. Q rushes into the woods to save her and they both almost die trying to get back. We get to know more about Adela and Q’s mother and then we see Matteo at his worst… I’m really looking forward to Broken Kingdom and Q giving him his dues.

The conclusion to the first Corium University trilogy made this series one of my all time favorites. I already loved the first two books, but Broken Kingdom was everything I could have asked for in a bully romance happy ending. Aspen and Quinton were so dang perfect and I just love how their story ended.
The plot blew my mind a few times. We got some major surprises that I was not expecting. I really enjoyed the climax and how Aspen handled herself, deciding she was no longer going to lean on others but that she was going to stand up for herself on her own two feet. Lucas’s little outburst at the founder’s meeting was fantastic. I honestly can’t believe how much my view of him changed from book one to book three. I was really surprised to see the next set of books is about him when I first looked up the series, but by the start of book three I began to understand and now I’m pretty excited.
The beginning of this book was so dark and so sad. I just wanted to crawl into my kindle screen and give Aspen a hug. Then Q. Then both of them… I loved how Quinton showed up for her during her darkest moments and how he kept showing up for her. I was really happy to see him really mend his relationship with his dad too, and how he helped Aspen just because he knew how much she meant to Quinton.
I’m already itching to re-read this trilogy, but even more excited to move onto Lucas’s story. I can’t wait to see how he ends up with Delilah.
