GAAAH...this book was all kinds of AWESOME. I've been dying to know more about the Kingmaker (Uilleam Runehart) and Karina (Belladonna) every time they popped up in one of this author's other books. So to say I had high expectations would be an understatement. However, expectations seem to be getting the better of me lately, with several books falling short in that regard. Let me just say that wasn't the case here AT ALL. The writing was fantastic. The pace was pretty much perfect. The plot was super engaging and intricate.
This was quite a slow burn, but this couple's on page chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. And once we do get to the sex scenes, they were HOT. There is a good cast of secondary characters (Orion being my favorite). I wouldn't say that this was a particularly angsty book, but if you know the history between these two then you know what is coming and it made my heart hurt to think about that (sniff). Both the main characters were extremely likable, well developed, and intriguing. Last, this one ends on a cliffhanger (with four more books to come). So do be aware of that.
SIDE NOTE: I want to give Miz Miller an extra shoutout because I greatly admire an author that can write a book(s), a FANTASTIC book(s) with little to no other women drama. There was not a SINGLE mention of the heroes past sex life in this book. No over the top crazy other women throwing themselves at him. No other women causing ridiculous drama. And most of the books I have read by this author have been like this. It is refreshing, to say the least. So I'm giving you a standing ovation London Miller (lol).
