About the author
Lauren Roberts
6 books20.9k followersWhen Lauren Roberts isn't writing about fantasy worlds and bantering love interests, she can likely be found burrowed in bed reading about them. Lauren has lived in Michigan her whole life, which makes her very familiar with potholes, snow, and various lake activities. She has the hobbies of both a grandmother and a child: knitting, laser tag, hammocking, word searches, and coloring. Powerless is her first novel (now a New York Times Best Seller), and she hopes to have the privilege of writing pretty words for the rest of her life. If you enjoy ranting, reading, and writing, Lauren can be found on both TikTok and Instagram @Laurenrobertslibrary for your entertainment.

'What has she done to me?'
His limp body swings over my shoulder with every step I take.
'Will her grave be the next I dig?'
It's amazing how I managed to make it this long without Kms
~~~~~
"It's a good thing you’re not here,’ he says softly, a tone I never thought I’d hear from him again. ‘Because I still haven’t found my courage.’"
This teaser has me screaming because 😩 how am I supposed to wait!!
~~~~
I love this parallel so much!
Powerless:
"Mark my words, prince. I will be your undoing."
Reckless:
"Go on, my Silver Saviour. Be my undoing."
KAI AND PAE BETTER GET THERE MOMENTS AND IF I DONT GET THAT KISS IM THROWING HANDS 😤
~~~
One of the Tropes are kiss her or kill her \(ϋ)/💅
~~
I NEED IT IN MY HANDS LIKE RN!! LAUREN WAS SO WRONG WITH THAT ENDING 😭😭 PLS I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY!

March 4, 2024Here for Kitt's revenge arc 🫢🍿-->🔥���🔥🧯
That's not enough.
🚒🚒🚒🚓🚓🚓🚁
Hm. No that aint gonna do shit.
🔫
Perfect.
Oh my gosh, how the tables have turned. My commitment to this series is evident because that cover??? Looks like a accidently given amenity in a motel 40 miles away from the effing beach since I'm so damn broke... My dad's vacation outfit is literally comprised of that background smh. She must've angered the cover artist, uh oh.
Mrs. Roberts really said ✨ugly duckling✨
Nevertheless, I am 100% rooting for Kitt and Paedyn because Kai is CLEARY not the MMC here. It's Kitt Azer. So what's not to like, pookie?
🌶️ He has golden locks (warms my tangled heart)
🌶️ Runs hot and cold in his veins
🌶️ A king (forreal)
🌶️ Can control fire
🌶️ He's mf obsessed with Pae in a revenge-driven way ANDD he's on the hunt as we speak
What else do you need?
He might Ann Boleyn her for all we know. 🔪 But I demand enemies to lovers, and if that results in her death? Who am I to stand in the way? So let's mf go. I mean 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙚𝙙. If imma be his second wife, I better start acting like it 👑
P.S. The name generator is testing me with the ship names. Kityn? Wait this one is more spicier-> KITAE. I now think of his name as 'Kite' like help? 🪁 up up and away! I must be stopped...LOL the generator just gave up and said: 'Pattie' 🍔 I'm so done with this rn.
P.P.S. The ship name for me is PaeKitt (better not end up like the Titanic, sunk 🚢🧊)
That's not enough.
