| Publisher's Description | My bio might speak for itself, but I still have everything to prove. Everything to gain. Everything to lose. On the field, and off. I’m here for a reason, and Nate Richardson isn’t one of them… except, he won’t let me relegate him to a non-factor. Even knowing what’s at stake, he won’t let me pass him off. So I’ll adapt. Open myself up. Dominate my position. Defend my right to be here. Who says a woman can’t have everything? Or, better yet… who says a woman can’t be a King? |

I have read several of Ms. Jones’ books over the years and I’m consistently amazed by how great of a novelist she is. She never disappoints. Her characters may have different backstories and unique energies, and the romances she crafts are swoonworthy yet realistic. I admired this novel’s female protagonist, Sloane Brooks, since she appeared in Love Belvins’ “Love’s Ineligible Receiver” and enjoyed reading her story. Nate Richardson, her partner, was such a stand-up guy. I’m a bit of a sucker for romances where the dude is overtly invested earlier than the woman, and I appreciated how okay he was with making himself open and vulnerable when that was what Sloane needed from him. As usual, the secondary characters in this novel were great; they were there enough to give the protagonists context, but not so much that they were a distraction from the primary focus of the novel. And although I often wanted to mail Garrett and Eli one-way to the moon, there was enough genuine sentiment behind their worst moments to make me rethink such astronomical postage.
This is such an enjoyable entry into this series. If you aren’t already familiar with the Connecticut Kings series, it might be tempting to skip ahead to this book, but the richness of the story will be more evident if you understand where a lot of the secondary characters started out. These two authors have brought this franchise and world to life and I recommend these books to anyone who’s a fan of well-written romance.
