The Society Trilogy (Unabridged‪)‬

‘She will be mine to do with as I please. To take. Touch. Torment. And horrify.’

Ivy is 12 years younger than her new husband Santiago. They both have physical abnormalities, her eye is oddly shaped and his body/face is burned from a fire. Forced into marriage, Ivy is trying to find a way out. Santi is looking for revenge but also can’t deny his attraction. The book gave me a very beauty and the beast vibe.

There are a lot of things I liked about it with Santi’s alpha/dominant personality, Ivy’s sweet nature and virginal status. But the first book felt too slow and dragged and I found myself bored half the time. It did not have a lot of spicy scenes.

‘I don't know how to comfort her. I've never learned.’

The 2nd book continues the back and forth relationship of Santi and Ivy. We start to get more answers as the story unfolds, so it moves faster than the first book.
There are some steamy scenes as Ivy and Santi can’t control their physical connection.

I don’t love Ivy’s character. Being held in Judge’s cellar should have showed her how bad it could be but she still continues to push at Santiago. Yes, he’s tough to deal with but the whole situation with the sheet fire could have been avoided. I mean, he did go out on a limb for her with The Tribunal, even while thinking she tried to unalive him.

I will finish the 3rd book to get closure.

‘He chose me. He chose our family.’

This concludes the story and we get the answers behind the explosion. It feels like a different book than the first two. Santi changes the most and he is learning affection and care. It was cute to see his bond with Eva as well as the baby.
It was more of a medium spice level.

I tried hard but I really didn’t like Ivy’s character. She wants to judge Santi but often makes poor decisions that result in her getting seriously injured. I was happy to see them have a sweet HEA.

One thing also nagging me is the father of Hazel’s baby. Who is he and where is he 🤔
