Spicy MMMF romance! Absolutely loved this! When Deo, Filip, and Adrian decide Lis is going to marry them, their interests will all be tied together permanently. Insanity ensues, with each member of the betrothal trying to protect the others, the Company on their tail, and love burgeoning across the entire betrothal. Highly recommend!

I just finished the second book in The Seven Star Empire series by Shoshana Rain, and wow — I am absolutely buzzing with excitement! While I enjoyed the first book, the second one completely blew me away. It delivered everything I was hoping for and more, leaving me eagerly craving the next installment. The pacing, the stakes, the character development — everything felt tighter, richer, and more immersive.

One of my favorite aspects of this book was how it gave off major Ocean's Eleven vibes. There was this thrilling, clever heist energy woven throughout the plot, full of scheming, teamwork, and unexpected twists. The way the main characters collaborated, strategized, and learned to trust one another was deeply satisfying. Their bond grew stronger through every challenge they faced — and let me tell you, there were plenty of hardships. Yet, no matter the danger or emotional turmoil, they stuck together and pushed forward, even when the cost could have been their lives. That kind of loyalty and growth made me so much more invested in every single one of them.

Another major highlight for me was the addition of a new male main character to the relationship dynamic — Ezra. What a phenomenal addition! He’s a brilliant, bookish scholar who carries himself with such a shy, humble demeanor that it’s downright adorable. He doesn’t realize the effect he has on others, which just makes him all the more endearing. Ezra brought a calming, intellectual balance to the group that felt like the perfect contrast to the more intense personalities around him. His presence not only rounded out the cast but also added new layers of emotional depth and romantic intrigue that I loved.

This book also amped up the action and the spice in the best possible way. The stakes were higher, the battles fiercer, and the chemistry between characters more intense than ever. I was completely immersed in this vibrant, dangerous world from start to finish, and I didn’t want to leave.

Shoshana Rain has outdone herself with this installment, and I can’t wait to see where she takes us next. Book three can’t come soon enough — and fingers crossed for some special editions, because I need more of this universe on my shelf. If you haven’t started this series yet, run — don’t walk — and get your hands on it. You’re in for a wild, emotional, and totally unforgettable ride.

Thank you,NetGalley and ARC provided by Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for sending an ARC of this book. I actually got accepted for the ARC of this book and the first one on NetGalley!

All I can say is, I am ready for the third book. I need to know what happens. If you enjoyed book one, you are definitely going to enjoy this one!! This book picks off right where book one ends and at least for me. There was no waiting. I binged both books!! Now we have fallen into a marriage of convenience with some of our guys, which I’m not opposed to. I love a good marriage of convenience and then with some of the guys it’s like an enemies to lovers vibe going on. There was a curveball throne with our marriage of convenience and we’re adding someone new to the mix, Ezra. He’s literally like a shy sweetheart and you just wanna protect him. I definitely am looking forward to seeing more of his character in the third book. Lis, Deo, Filip and Adrian are still trying to work things out, and now Ezra is being added into the mix. There’s a lot more betrayal and deceit happening than people realize so we dive deeper into that. There’s still a little mystery around the Widow and what her endgame is going to be. I’m definitely ready for this big reveal because she sets a lot of things in motions and I just wanna see what it was all for. We also had a lot of character development from various people and I really enjoy that cause it gives you a different outlook on their characters and then a better understanding. I honestly flew through this book and it left me wanting more and I know the third book isn’t coming out until 2026 but I’m hoping that with some miracle wish, it could come out during 2025 because I need to know what happens!!
