The Rogue King

When I picked this book up, I thought it was going to be another smutty book with no plot and all about the relationship between the MCs. I was very pleasantly surprised that the plot was actually super good in this book! I loved the overall story line, was super into the angsty love, and the way the overarching plot developed and set up the storyline for the rest of the books of this series. Can't wait to read the rest of them!

Tropes:
- Forbidden Love
- Fated Mates
- Forced Proximity

Almost perfect book. Romantic fantasy well done and I am now completely engrossed in the clan wars even though I was scratching my head to try and keep up with the history in the beginning.

1 star lost for an otherwise great romance that got ruined at the last 100 pages with the “I knew I shouldn't have trusted you” trope followed by the heroine not allowing him to explain himself. Dumb. But fairly common in romance so it happens.

I'm nervous for book two bc the hero hasn't been my favorite guy but I will continue anyway.

I got this book through my BaeCrate subscription and overall I definitely think it's worth it.

The Rogue King was EXACTLY what I needed during the last few VERY. STRESSFUL. weeks of my organic chemistry class! It was an amazing book that was total candy for my mind (and that cover, candy for the eyes, for sure...even though I am as a rule opposed to the shirtless-man covers).

From what I gathered on GoodReads, most of the author's other books have been on the tame side of sexy...THIS ONE IS NOT and it was delicious. Definitely the kind to make your nether regions tingle, so be forewarned if you're not into that or go get it NOW if that's your thing! There is also a witty, dry sort of humor sprinkled throughout that I absolutely loved and had me chuckling out loud several times.

Kasia and Brand have total chemistry and Brand is hot AF. Also, there are dragons (I might be slightly obsessed) and I am sure the next books will have more! I feel like there will probably be four in this series, due to the fact that Kasia has three sisters...I sure hope so. I am definitely keeping my eyes open for the next installments.

4/5 stars. I took off a star for the plot. It's kind of predictable, but honestly if you are reading this for plot you're reading it for the wrong reasons.
