Spearcrest Devil by Aurora Reed 😈
Book Tropes:
- enemies to lovers
- MMC falls first
- fake "relationship" (kinda)
- possessive MMC
My Review:
☆☆☆ stars
As I was with book 4 in this series, I’m underwhelmed.
Since book 1, I was highly anticipating Lucas’s book because I have a thing for the “broken bad boys” of the dark romance book world, but coming out of his book, I don’t feel much of anything. This book wasn’t bad per se, but it also wasn’t that great.
Compared to the other books in this series, this story was far less repetitive which is a good thing but it also wasn’t much of an “entertaining” plot. I found that I disliked Willow just as I did Zahara (still hate Zahara more though if I’m honest) and because there was a fair amount of degradation and hate involved in this book, I didn’t feel much of a connection between Willow and Luca. Don’t get me wrong, I loveee the enemies-to-lovers trope and degradation in my books, but even when the two were supposedly “in love” with one another, I still felt like Luca fully loved Willow far more than she ever could him. Evidently, the issues I have with this book are similar if not the same as I did for Iakov and Zahara’s book which sucks to say.
“Wherever you go, whatever you do, whoever you fuck, Lynch, you’re mine, you will always be mine. Contract or no contract.”
It was great to read the epilogue and get a little “reunion” with all the Kings and their girls at the end even if Luca wasn’t invited which was funnily ironic (not as much as Willow having Sophie as a lawyer though).
Regardless, it wasn’t the worst book I’ve read and this series was definitely an interesting start for the author. I’ll definitely be reading her future books.

Book Blurb:
Luca Fletcher-Lowe - The Devil
My life unfolds behind the curtains of London's exclusive clubs, where I hold the city's elite in the palm of my hand. The only thing I value is power, and secrets are my currency.
And then I meet her. The mysterious girl with the poison eyes. She turns the tables on me and swipes the power right out of my hands. And then she runs, thinking she got away with it.
She thinks I won’t catch her—but she’s wrong. I’ll stop at nothing to find her and punish her for her hubris.
Willow Lynch - The Shadow
Revenge isn’t just my duty—it’s my passion. My goal is to settle the score against those who've wronged me; every rich, worthless man I crush in my path is just a bonus.
Then I meet Luca Fletcher-Lowe. Despite his reputation, Luca is no different to any other rich man: just another worm to crush under my boot.
Maybe adding insult to injury and leaving him bound and injured in a hotel room was a mistake. But devil or not, I’m not scared of Luca Fletcher-Lowe.
If he wants to hurt me, he’ll have to catch me first.
