Book Review: Royal Elite Epilogue by Rina Kent

I just wrapped up Royal Elite Epilogue by Rina Kent, and it’s a total treat that had me smiling through my chai tonight, 7:50 PM on Sunday, July 20, 2025. This 2020 book is the seventh in the Royal Elite series, a long epilogue bringing back all five couples—Levi & Astrid, Aiden & Elsa, Xander & Kimberly, Ronan & Teal, and Cole & Silver—for a final look at their lives after the drama. If you’ve followed the series, this is like a warm hug with a spicy edge.

I was reading this on my couch as the evening kicked in, and it felt like catching up with old friends. Each couple gets their moment—proposals, weddings, honeymoons, pregnancies, and even a peek at their kids. Ronan’s goofy charm still steals the show, but Aiden’s dark intensity with Elsa had me swooning all over again. The group chats between the guys and girls added such a fun twist, like eavesdropping on their wild banter. I loved seeing how they’ve grown from those chaotic school days into this messy, loving family.

What I enjoyed most was the closure it gives. Rina Kent weaves these snapshots with just enough steam and sass to keep it true to the series—think possessive kisses and heated glances. It’s not all perfect, though; some parts, like the reused proposal scenes, felt a bit familiar, and I wished for more depth on the kids’ futures. Still, the mix of humor and heart makes it a page-turner.

This got me thinking about how love evolves through life’s ups and downs—I scribbled “forever’s a team effort” on a napkin tonight, ‘cause it hit me. It’s a satisfying wrap-up with that dark romance kick.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Recommendation: Grab this if you’re a fan of the Royal Elite crew or love a steamy epilogue with heart—perfect for a cozy night like this when you want to revisit some favorite characters. Great for dark romance lovers, just enjoy the ride!
