Dukes of Madness: Royals of Forsyth University, Book 5

This book. Is so GOOD. I had so many mixed emotions after book one but I was still so obsessed and addicted to it that I couldn’t stop thinking about it for weeks after. This book did not disappoint! It was everything I wanted it to be. So many moments I didn’t even know I needed. So many amazing quotes that I’ll keep close. Sam and Angel have this way of writing these books where they’re literally addicting and you feel so consumed with the lives of these characters and immersed so completely. Vinny is such a strong, Intelligent, resilient and witty character and I just loved her growth throughout this whole book. The MMCs also had so many moments in this one that just changed my whole perspective of them and really deepened their complexities as characters and had my heart strings tugging. Remy has always been my favorite and that hasn’t changed but Sy and Nick really stole my heart by the end. I can’t wait to continue the journey with these characters and find out the underlying mystery of their world. The ending is a big cliffie but it was done so poetically. This book has romance, spice, action, witty banter, mystery, revelations, emotional growth, and heart stopping moments. I can’t recommend this series enough! My favorite broken people mending themselves a moment at a time together.

This is another great book by my two favorite new authors. thank you for writing as if these people were college educated instead of going to college and speaking sign. I do appreciate that. Thank you for your incredibly in depth characterization of all different people and all different combinations of neuroses and things that make us who we are individually. I truly enjoyed reading this book.please if you're thinking about reading this book do yourself a favor and go for it!

👑 Dukes of Madness (Book 5 of the Royals of Forsyth series) by Angel Lawson & Samantha Rue4/5 ⭐️4/5 🌶️👑 The twists and turns of this book made the length of it completely worth it. There were times I couldn’t put it down I was that engrossed in it.👑 During this second part of three of the Dukes you come to see Vinny (FMC) take on a whole new shape. Becomes more of her own person as the Duchess and she truly becomes such a bad 🍑. She puts her foot down when it comes to Nick and I loved that! She finds a confidence within herself to take what she wants and exact the revenge she needs to.👑 With that said - I am all for the groveling trope and believe me - Nick needed to grovel (IYKYK). BUT I was this close 🤏🏼 to jumping through my kindle to shake the FMC and be like IT IS ENOUGH. It’s probably the biggest reason I deducted a ⭐️ because I just couldn’t handle it.👑: My favorites of Remy and Sy …. Man these two truly put me through it. I was so emotionally invested in both of them until they do some of the most unthinkable things known to man.👑 But I loved it and I’m ready to devour the rest of the Dukes!📚

WOWWWW. I am so speechless. This book was AMAZING!! It’s a heavy hitting book that definitely doesn’t pull any punches. I knew there was going to be a lot that went on in this book and I was completely right but I couldn’t have guessed it was going to end like THAT!Sy made me fall in love with him in this book from the beginning with how he took care on Vinny and backing her 100% as well as teaching her to defend herself. Now I’m not saying he did it for free but it was a mutually beneficial agreement between them and I felt that relationship grow leaps and bounds UNTIL he just had to go and EFF it up. My heart literally sank to my butt when that happened. She trusted him and he let her down. HARD.Not gonna lie Remy surprised me in the best way in the beginning with what happened between him and Nick. Then seeing him and Vinny’s relationship growing as well was everything but in a different way than with Sy and hers did. Remy and Vinny formed a kind of kinship that came from the trauma of their past. He knew what it was like to never be what a parent wanted from their child and seeing them come together because of that broke barriers they both had. It was beautiful. And then of course all those little doubts came back to bite them in the behind because of his father and Remy self destructed and hurt her in the worst way.I am ALL for groveling and earning every bit back of what you chose to mess up and Nick Bruin is the epitome of someone having to work for every inch he gets back. It was a hard earned road that Nick had to travel down to even get anywhere near Vinny but he took everything in stride. That’s not to say he didn’t get some well deserved comeuppance cause he did and I’m on team Vinny on that! He also never stopped protecting her even when she hated him. He told her he was sorry with not only his words but with every action he did in this book. So seeing everything finally come together for them after what he did was the best.THAT ENDING!!!! I can’t believe it! I thought no way is that true it’s just him going off the deep end cause of everything and then BAM HE WAS RIGHT!!!! Well not about some of it but still the biggest part he was right about.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 and 🌶🌶.5/5

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL ENDINGS!!! I am so freaking glad I waited for all 3 of the Dukes books to come out before reading them because with an ending like this one, I would have gone crazy having to wait - no, seriously...you have no idea!! Holy cow...dumbstruck! These books are amazing! Not for the faint of heart, not always easy to read, a whole lot of triggers, but they are so well-written! I wish every book I read could be as good as these - plot, characters, world building, the suspense, the coming together of the characters...I've been blown away since I first read the Lords! Stopping now because I can't wait to start book 3 after just finishing 2! If you're into dark and want one of the best series ever, read all the Royals of Forsyth, but be warned - only if you can truly stomach dark novels. They are amazingly well-written, but they are not for everyone. Don't trash it later if you're not into it. If you are, very little out there that's as good as these.

She may be a Dutchess, but she was born a Viper, and when she strikes, she’s lethal.Dukes of Madness had been sublime... And it had everything, from plot development to character growth and shocking revelations. The saga of the Royals of Forsyth continues and I am equally obsessed with this world and also baffled by everything that happens in this book.Lavinia, girl, you rock...we all know her, always the second option for her family, a transaction, she shows her strength in this book, she gets a better understanding of the guys and finds a common ground with them(well, most of them) as she tries to decipher the mystery surrounding the disappearance of her sister, an enigma that becomes more difficult to solve, as new things are brought to light.The guys. Well, I don't hate Nick anymore and Remy broke my heart at some point. But Sy...he was the one that almost made me throw my book away. Nevertheless, they were magnetic and I need more...so so so much more.The way the story evolves is mesmerizing, the Lords make more than one appearance( Killian ❤️) and also we learn more about the dynamics and politics of the royal houses.And finally, we have two royal women that support each other. I hope we get to see more in the next book.The cliffhanger was all sorts of evil...my heart just skipped a beat after reading those last words. I cant wait to see what Dukes of Peril will bring.Fantastic job, ladies!!!

Just like the rest of this series this book is just absolute perfection. Brilliant twists and turns that you don't see coming until they're right on top of you and just a fantastically written story.The characters continue to dig their way deeper and deeper into my heart and just when I'm sure they've done something I could never possibly forgive they find a way to make me adore them again despite my protests.I feel like I've gone 10 rounds with a heavyweight after reading this but they're so dang good that every tear and scream and childish stamping your feet tantrum is worth it.I already can't wait for the next book. I'm on the very edge of my seat and I'm writing this before it really hits me that I have to wait months for the next instalment of this because I'm gonna start getting real nasty about that in like 5 minutes.As always I finish a book in this series both mindblowingly impressed with the brilliance of the story and writing but also completely emotionally fried and loving every second.

Dukes of Madness is book two in the Dukes trilogy and book five in the Royals of Forsyth University series. It is a RH dark romance told from multiple POV.If your reading this one you've obviously read the others and are familiar with these authors writing. The darkness and the spiciness of their storylines.What I love most about these writers is their ability to develop characters and storylines that are deep and twisty and have a complexity to them that just keeps you reading. This one is no exception.Sure you could look at this book (as well as the others) as stories about gangs and s3x and manipulation but you would miss the beautiful imagery and growth of relationships as well as the characters.This is a fabulous book. You don't need me to convince you, you just need to go and read it!Five black hearts 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
