From USA Today's bestselling author, Terri E. Laine comes a new delicious, fanning yourself HOT, and page turning novel, Kingdom Come, which features Connor King from the All the Kings Sons series.
She’s a princess and I’m no prince. By the time this is over, one of us will break. And it isn’t supposed to be me.
Her
Nice girls can’t have fun. That’s the lie I’ve been taught to believe. Stand straight, sit tall, manners, manners, manners. But this smart mouth girl needs more than that. In walks a guy with a face like a model, Body of a god and dressed like a biker. Exactly my type. He acts indifferent which is the challenge I need. By the time I’m done, he’ll be begging for more. Only in end, it might be my heart that gets broken.
Him
She’s a princess and I’m no prince. I’ve got more skeletons in my closet than a graveyard. My tastes run dark. The women I go for run hotter. As beautiful as she is, The last thing I’m looking for is arm candy. I don’t do girlfriends or relationships not on my terms. The best thing she can do is walk away. Only one taste isn’t enough. By the time this is over, one of us will break. And it isn’t supposed to be me.
Kingdom Come is part of a duet and is NOT standalone. The entire duet will be released within two weeks of each other.
Ed eccomi a voi, cari lettori Magnetici, con la mia prima recensione su un libro in lingua. La storia di Lizzy e Connor “Striker” King è una storia forte, senza filtri: appena si conoscono, dopo poche pagine dall’inizio, hanno uno scambio verbale senza filtri, dove Connor la rifiuta e la definisce una “che vuole solo farsi un giro nei bassifondi” (non a caso la chiamerà principessa più volte nel romanzo). Il loro è uno scontro caratteriale soprattutto, dove entrambi non solo vogliono primeggiare sull'altro, ma anche difendersi dalla fortissima attrazione fisica che provano.
«Avevo fatto così tanti errori con gli uomini, e mi chiedevo se Striker sarebbe stato il mio “colpo a tre” e sarei stata fuori.
……………………….
Lei mi stava rendendo debole, stava facendo in modo che la desiderassi. Stavo perdendo il controllo.»
Lizzy è una donna determinata, indipendente, che sta cercando di costruirsi una carriera come gallerista tutta da sola e che non ha paura di ammettere ciò che vuole, tra cui un uomo “ben dotato”.
«Volevo l’avventura, e dannazione se Striker non era uomo che poteva darmela. Il suo spettacolo di possessività era stato un po' sexy, ma non avrei mai permesso ad un uomo di comandarmi.»
Percepisce subito un lato diverso di Connor e quando ne vede solo una piccola parte, lo condivide con lui perché si fida di lui, sa che la proteggerà. Guardando moooooooltoooooo bene la cover del libro, si intuisce che Connor è un dominatore e non solo: possiede un sex club di livello esclusivo e di successo, che ha creato da sé e dove lui è molto attivo, ma è anche il figlio di un multimilionario. A questo si aggiungono segreti del suo passato che in questo primo volume della serie non ci vengono svelati, ma che capiamo essere fondamentali anche per il suo allontanamento dalla famiglia. La storia è quindi avvincente, con POV alternati, e con lo stile emotivo e particolare della Laine. La parte sul BSDM è più sulle persone e le loro scelte che sulle pratiche in sé, sul perché si frequentino posti del genere e sul cosa prova Connor a esserne una parte cosi attiva. Insomma un romanzo forte come quelli di Megan March, che ci prende tutto d’un fiato. Dalla lettura intuiamo anche parti della trilogia King precedente: non ci resta quindi che sperare arrivino tutti presto in Italia.
Cinque petali se volete una bella lettura in lingua originale e, se riesco, vi racconterò anche del prossimo.
Review
And here I am, dear magnetic readers, with my first review on a book in original language and more so in preview.
The story of Lizzy and Connor "Striker" King is a strong story, without filters: as soon as they meet, after a few pages of the beginning, they have an unfiltered verbal exchange, where Connor rejects her and calls her “a girl like her only wants to brag her friends about slumming” (not surprisingly he will call her princess several times in the novel).
Theirs is a character clash above all, where both not only want to excel on the other, but also defend themselves from the very strong physical attraction they feel.
Lizzy is a determined, independent woman who is trying to build a career as a gallery owner all by herself and who is not afraid to admit what she wants, including a "well-endowed" man.
She immediately senses a different side of Connor and when she sees only a small part of it, she shares it with him because she trusts him, she feels he will protect her.
Looking deep inside the cover of the book, you can sense that Connor is a dominator and not only: he owns an exclusive and successful sex club, which he created himself and where he is very active, but is also the son of a multimillionaire.
Furthermore there are secrets of his past that in this first volume of the series are not revealed to us, but we understand are also fundamental to his estrangement from the family.
The story is therefore compelling, with alternating POVs, and with Lane's emotional and particular style.
The part about BSDM is more about people and their choices than about the practices themselves, why places like this are frequented and how Connor feels about being such an active part of it.
Finally, the novel is strong as Megan March’s books, which takes us all in one breath.
From the reading we also see parts of the previous King trilogy: we only have to hope that they will all arrive soon in Italy.
Five petals if you want a nice reading in the original language and, if I can, I will also tell you about the next one.
