Kingston Travere has a life most people would kill for. As the co-owner of the biggest production company in the music industry, and sole owner of the hottest radio station in the Midwest, King is used to getting what he wants. Right now, what he wants most is the taste of Reign on his lips.

When Royal and Lucas, Reign's husband, run off together, Reign's family turns their backs on her. Bitter and heartbroken, Reign desperately searches for attention in the most unlikely of the internet.
A chance encounter between Reign and King propels them beyond the lines of friendship. Secrets reveal themselves and fantasies become fulfilled as King and Reign navigate through the tangled web of sex, lies, and friendship.

 King and Reign, February 27, 2016

This review is from: Foolin' Around King & Reign: Part 1 of Sex, Lies, And Friendship Series (Kindle Edition)
Phoenix Williams has done it again with this one. I was drawn into King and Reigns story as soon as I started reading. Their story took me on a rollercoaster of a ride through all types of love, betrayal, sex and lies. There was also lots of pain, anger, guilt, sadness and of course redemption. This book has a little bit of everything. I started reading and didn't stop until I was done. I highly recommend this book and I will be reading the next installment. Kudos to the author for this great read.

Wooow
Man this book was awesome, it was totally different from the other urban books I’ve read and I dig that. The author did such a good job, the sex scenes were amazing. They were just damn perfect, there’s no rush, everything was slow and tantalizing. As for secrets, I wonder who is Sarai seeing and whose the baby Daddy. Book 2 here I come!!!!!!

Great way to start a series. Loved the bond between the friends. Reigns family with the exception of her grandmother was a super hot mess though. The twin ohhh she needed several beat downs for her foolishness. Glad to see things work out for Kingston and Reign. Can't wait to read more about this crazy group of characters.

Welcome to the dark side of playtime...
Intriguing story of friendship, betrayal, love and healing. I love the friendship the characters share, they have each others backs through it all. The love the main characters discover is one we can all hope for someone who is not only into what we desire but open to try and experience new things.

I'm not into erotica. I brought this book not knowing what I was buying. But the storyline is dope. Royal and Lucas need their asses beat though. Reign's struggle is real as hell. That pain is real. My sex life ain't shot though. Geez! Few grammatical errors but very good read. Guess I'll start book 2.

A lot of drama in this book!
There is plenty of drama between lifelong friends and family. I believe I enjoyed this book because it does mimic some real life stress and drama that people have been through, and unfortunately because this is life - others may go through something similar.

Good read
Love that Reign and King had the same interest in sex. Sex scenes were so detailed and had me thinking about my own sex life. It was good read for the most part. Can't wait for the second part

Wow
That pain hit different when it’s the 2 people you thought loved you the most doing it. It was so crazy that Lucus was really trying to have twins acting like he Hugh Huffner. Glad King was able to get through to her now she can have the love she deserves

The biggest negatives about this story were editing and format. No paragraph indentations. Plenty of overlooked missed words, misspellings, and incorrect grammar that would've been caught and corrected by an editor.
So much fire and lust in this story between King and Reign, and so much backstabbing between this group of friends. So many secrets and hidden love affairs, it's almost unbelievable to realize the characters were all adult yet hiding secrets like children. The story read well and really described the kinkiest sex that even I couldn't think of. Got me over here researching how to be a cam model myself bc it grosses more income than being an author. Lol. But seriously, this story was awesome with the exceptions of those errors. They were found throughout the story.
The cover art isn't too sexualized and inappropriate so it leaves much to the imagination when you catch the title, Foolin Around. The players in this book were fooling around and it was a shame that reign was crossed in the manner that she was. Like Reign, many women give up on love and blame every guy after a heartbreak because of vulnerability. Phoenix did a great job connecting the characters and developing a sound plot
Oh but the subplot....hmmm, I can't wait for book 2 bc Sarai and Jax... (I think) got explaining to do. Great job, Phoenix. #DaReviewersApproved

Foolin' Around King & Reign
I need to talk to Phoenix Williams about this great book. Based on the title, I thought I was going to read a Cinderella story with a little bit of hood drama. This content of this book was not the case. There was drama along with something else. Let's just say King & Reign will have plenty women with a bun in the oven. Lucas don't know what he gave up when he committed the ultimate betrayal.
I was looking for a stick to beat some sense into Royal and her daddy for the blatant disrespect towards Reign. Their mother also needed to be tagged for choosing sides. It was a good thing Reign had good friends to support her. Speaking of friends, what's going on with Sarai?

Hot Erotic Read
This is a must read! This story line was great with a lot of lies and betrayal. Royal and Lucus were very trifling characters that will be bitten by Karma. How can you divorce your wife and marry her twin an, the family be OK with it. I felt real bad for Reign because, she only had her grandmother. I was glad that Reign finally decided to open up and love Kingston. I loved the proposal and glad that they were finally able to become one. Everyone in their circle has some deep secrets and, I can't wait for them to come out in part 2.

Great Read
I was so happy Reign finally open ed her heart to receive love again. It shows that true love and friendship does exist. After the pain and hurt of what Lucas and her own twin sister Royal did, it's a wonderful she wasn't scarred for life. It does show everything done in the dark comes to light. Ready for Part 2.
