You want the security?
And the man?
Then you do what you’re told.

I live in his castle.
I sit at his feet.
I wear his collar.
I am his offering.

They are a breed apart.

It takes sacrifice.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


OMFG! This concluding novel to Cadee and Cooper's story was such addictive reading. It was dark, mysterious, sexy AF, deliciously frustrating, but with an immensely satisfying ending.

The plot to this duet is pretty intricate so you really need to pay attention to EVERYTHING. There are so many questions and it's instinctive to gallop to the end for the answers, but it's important to absorb all the details.

"This is the life...The ruling class. There's nothing wrong about any of it. This is how it was meant to be. It's survival of the fittest."

Everything is questioned: friendships, alliances, motives, purpose, the endgame. Even the love between Cadee and Cooper is questionable because, at times, nothing is as it seems. I hung onto every word and my thoughts kept churning because I honestly had no real clue how it was all going to pan out. Everyone had a part to play and nothing was clear until the story reached its climax.

I was completely immersed in the High Court world - so much so that I could feel the weight of oppression sitting squarely on my chest. This was such a fabulous story, not always comfortable reading but nonetheless compelling.

He is the bully king.
His family owns everything.

Excerpt for RULING CLASS




I push through the screen door that leads to the porch, being careful not to let it slam, and then walk over to the hammock. 

“What’s that?” Cadee asks playfully.

“Ice,” I say. And then I grin wide and allow Ax’s words to drift away. The middle of a dark, hot night is no time to revisit past mistakes. That’s what the light of day is for.

“Oooooo. What are we gonna do with it?”

I hand her the bowl and she hisses air through her teeth—“Cold”—then sighs as I drop my shorts and make the very careful descent into the hammock with her. We swing, and sway, and laugh a little, trying our best to be quiet as I get myself situated. 

She’s cooled off a little in my absence, but the heat between us returns as soon as we’re skin on skin again. I have one arm underneath her so she’s lying almost flat and tucked up against my shoulder. Then I take the stainless-steel bowl and set it on her bare belly. 

“Oh, shit, that’s cold.” 

“That’s the point.” I reach for an ice cube. “I want to keep you next to me. And I know that this heat will win in the end if I don’t intervene. So this is me intervening.” I hold the ice cube over one of her breasts and it begins to drip immediately. 

She lets out a quick, short breath as the cold water drops onto her nipple and trickles down the curve of her breast to pool between them. “Hmm. This is interesting.”

“Interesting?” I chuckle, then lower the ice cube to her nipple, rubbing it back and forth across the tiny peak. 

“Maybe… nice is a better word.” 

“Nice is better. But that’s not quite what I was going for here.”

“Hmmm,” she murmurs, laughing a little. “Then I will just be quiet and let you do your thing.”

I suck in a deep breath, wanting to say… things. The way I wanted to say things to Ax. Because I don’t want her to be quiet anymore. Especially with my encouragement.

“Do I get to play with the ice? Or will that spoil your plans?”

“I don’t have any plans, Cades. I’m just trying to make you love me.”

“Awwwww.” She leans up and places one hand on the side of my cheek, kisses me. “You don’t have to worry about that, Cooper.”

Maybe not. She does—at the very least—like me a whole lot.

I’m not really worried about her love or like. 

What I’m really trying to do is make her forgive me. 

“Shhhh,” Cadee hushes. “I can almost hear you thinking. It’s too late, and hot, and perfect to be thinking about anything but this ice you brought me.”

She’s right. 

I place my ice cube against her lips, tracing the outline of them in the sliver of moonlight that has traveled millions of miles to land here on our naked bodies tonight. 

Her lips pucker against it and her light brown eyes twinkle as they lock on mine. Then she reaches for a cube and begins to trace the outline of my shoulder. The cold is immediate and the water sliding down the curve of my biceps feels a lot like relief. 

I am suddenly, overwhelmingly, completely happy. 

I remove the bowl from Cadee’s stomach and balance it on my leg. Then balance my ice cube over her belly button.

She hisses a laugh, then almost immediately sucks in a long breath as the cube melts and begins to trickle over the side of her hips. Suddenly her body shivers and little pinpricks pop up on her tanned-brown skin. 

I pick up another cube and this time I rub it around her nipples until they bunch up in tight peaks. Then I lean over and kiss her lips. They’re still cool and wet. And when her tongue slips inside my mouth and begins to tease me, I get a little lost in Cadee Hunter. 

I want this night to last forever.

One perfect night with a sliver of moon, and the heavy air, and the heat of late summer. 

One perfect night of calm water, a creaking rope hammock, and a chorus of crickets. 

One perfect night with my girl in the woods.

Because pretty soon she’s gonna figure out the real me. 

She’s going to see what everyone else sees.

And she’s gonna realize… I’m just not worth it.
