Would Be King by Kim Karr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

It’s been a bit since I read a book by Kim Karr, but I was reminded all over again how much I enjoy her stories after I started Would Be King. I read this cutesy romance in one sitting. Kim took the modern British Monarchy with it’s Prince Harry and Meghan Merkle craze and turned it into a quick, sexy and fun read. Max is the ginger prince who falls for American commoner Gigi. The story is told in dual POV and the quick pace kept me entertained throughout. Would Be King had me chucking out loud repeatedly and was the perfect light-hearted romance following several dark books that I had read for my blog. I loved the characters—Max and Gigi were adorable together. Complete opposites that fell helplessly for one another. Max was swoon-worthy—sweet, cocky and a bit dirty. Gigi was spunky and free-spirited. I haven’t read the previous book released in this series (Washed Up Royal) and suffered no trouble reading this one as a complete standalone. As a reader I love interconnected standalone romances—there is just something about getting to see glimpses of previous characters that is very rewarding. Now that I have read Max’s story, I want to go back and read Washed Up Royal to find out where the series began. I loved this book, and believe readers will too!

Quotes:

That small taste I had of her in the cab wasn’t nearly enough. I want more. Damn her. Damn her and all her spunk and beauty. I really was on my way to the straight and narrow.

…

The chemistry her and I share is insane. I’ve fucked dozens of women in the past four months, but not one has made me feel the way she does, and I haven’t even been inside her— yet.

…

Max Montgomery is anything but playful. Sensual. Alluring. Dashing. Arrogant. Cocky. All perfectly good words to describe him. Playful, not so much.

…

Max is my new boss, and I can’t be alone with him. Especially in the confines of a vehicle. The chemistry between us is just too insane.

…

I grip her face and pull her to me. Our lips collide in a wet and wild kiss. One filled with a crazy hunger and desperation on both our parts. Hers. Mine. And that off-the-charts chemistry sizzles between us.

…

She’s sunshine in a bottle and I have a feeling I’m about to get wasted.
