The Kingmaker Saga #1
White Rabbit: The Rise
As an investigative journalist, Karina Ashworth’s job involves delving into New York’s black market of criminals and mischief where sin is almost too tempting to ignore.
When she crosses paths with a man whose smile is a little too cunning—and his power a little too vast—she learns very quickly that dancing with the devil is far more enjoyable than she had ever imagined.
But Uilleam Runehart is not at all what he seems, and as a notorious fixer with a thirst for power, he’ll do anything to obtain his title.
Ruthless.
Sinful.
Seductive.
How much would you pay to be a king?
From Romantic Suspense author, London Miller, comes the first book in a sexy, thrilling new series following a man with too much power and the only woman that can bring him to his knees.

GAAAH...this book was all kinds of AWESOME. I've been dying to know more about the Kingmaker (Uilleam Runehart) and Karina (Belladonna) every time they popped up in one of this author's other books. So to say I had high expectations would be an understatement. However, expectations seem to be getting the better of me lately, with several books falling short in that regard. Let me just say that wasn't the case here AT ALL. The writing was fantastic. The pace was pretty much perfect. The plot was super engaging and intricate.
This was quite a slow burn, but this couple's on page chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. And once we do get to the sex scenes, they were HOT. There is a good cast of secondary characters (Orion being my favorite). I wouldn't say that this was a particularly angsty book, but if you know the history between these two then you know what is coming and it made my heart hurt to think about that (sniff). Both the main characters were extremely likable, well developed, and intriguing. Last, this one ends on a cliffhanger (with four more books to come). So do be aware of that.
SIDE NOTE: I want to give Miz Miller an extra shoutout because I greatly admire an author that can write a book(s), a FANTASTIC book(s) with little to no other women drama. There was not a SINGLE mention of the heroes past sex life in this book. No over the top crazy other women throwing themselves at him. No other women causing ridiculous drama. And most of the books I have read by this author have been like this. It is refreshing, to say the least. So I'm giving you a standing ovation London Miller (lol).

Reread 6/14/22 in preparation for Alpha Omega releasing at the end of this month. So very happy to hear the author also plans to write books for Isla & Jackal <3

4.25 stars. Fuck it, 5 stars.
This book had everything I was looking for -
➼ A Hero involved in organized crime with a plot that was realistic and plausible
➼ Extraordinarily well-written
➼ A heroine who is intelligent through the author showing, not telling
➼ Interesting, memorable side-characters
On top of that a heroine who is an investigative journalist? Digging into a case that leads to more twists and turns as the plot thickens? I ate this up.
Karina has just as many secrets as Uilleam and I can't wait to see him start to unravel them in the next book.
This book was long --this looks to be a saga, each book around 400 pages each. I'm sticking around for now, but that does seem kind of on the long side. The slow-burn worked really well here though.
Book 6 currently has not released, and the author hasn't posted anything on her social media profiles for awhile. Typically I wouldn't continue with an unfinished series with no updates, but each book is so long, and reviews for book 5 talked about resolution for many of the plot threads, so I'm okay with this. The author also isn't publishing anything else, so she's clearly taken a break from publishing for the time being.
A huge thanks to the author for crafting a story grounded in realism. That's what I really need to be able to enjoy a story. So many authors, especially in dark romance/romantic suspense go balls to the wall and throw in everything and the kitchen sink. I can tell when an author spent more time writing a story, took care of the details, and made sure the story has a level of authenticity. I'm going to be reading more from London Miller hoping this is a common trait in her writing.
Random, but I liked the decision to have the Hero come from old money. Also the heroine--Karina's mom I'm not sure comes from old money though. There is this old money vibe to both Uilleam and Karina that's refreshing. Karina took Uilleam's level of wealth in stride. It wasn't something that shocked or impressed her because of her upbringing. Karina's characterization was excellent. You could see the moral grayness in her, and how she couldn't help but be drawn to Uilleam despite knowing better.
I've also learned that I really enjoy books with newspaper dramas. I first found this out after I read The Women of Eden. John Murray Eden's hatred of the Times for publishing the expose article on him was the highlight of that book for me. In this book Karina ruffling feathers with her article on Paxton was a nice touch by the author. Both subplots in these books had threats of lawsuits for defamation, subpoenas (well in The Women of Eden), intimidation tactics to get the journalist to shut up and stop investigating, etc, etc. I want to find more books with journalists & newspaper dramas.

This was fantastic! A diamond in the ruff. Excellent character development and world building.
You know whats really refreshing? When an author creates a hero that is an alpha but isnt a domineering asshole. When he exudes sexual confidence every time he enters a scene but doesnt come off as a manwhore. When he's clearly an anti hero but still treats the heroine with massive amounts of respect. THAT is what I want to read.
The heroine was just as fantastic (even if she was a virgin.) She was cunning and smart and could hold her ground against the hero. How many books have you read where the heroine is duped over and over again by the H and made to look like an idiot? Stutters and blushes all over the place until shes a puddle of estrogen. Not this h- she was exactly what I look for in strong female characters. She had a strong, subtle grace to her character that seems like its hard for other authors to pull off.
Recommend to all who want a solid safe read.
Safety:
Slight OM drama.
No OW drama (in fact, you dont hear about his sexual past at all. Its not even mentioned in passing.)
No cheating. No other people after they meet.
No pushing away from the h. The h initially pushes him away but shes making him work for it.
Heroine is a virgin.

I liked this one. Smart tricky heroine, clever hero.
I wanted to see more of the the MCs' confrontation tbh but instead they quickly found themselves "on one side of the road".
I would have liked it better if the author had explained and described some things more precisely. I often felt she merely gave us the outcome which took away from the intrigue and left me unsatisfied. I wanted to guess and wonder more about the turns and twists.
The plot got me intrigued. Seeking justice journalist and mysterious mafia man

This is by far--BY FAR--London's best work. Ever. When she brings out all her skills to play at the same time, what you get is White Rabbit. I feel like she has been waiting to write this series for so long, to go back and show everything, that it just fell onto the page like a movie playing out.
This series is standalone. You can go into it knowing nothing--having never read a previous book of London's, and I think that's exactly what any new reader to her works should do. Start here, see the talent and the skill of a craft too many lack working on the page, and fall in love.
Fall in love with a man who was given his name by a woman who simply wanted to find out who she truly was without the influence of others. Find out how they fell in love ... this book was amazing.
You're not ready.

Beautiful story, beautifully written.
Totally safe book. Hero isn't a manwhore. There's no mention of any other women/relationships at all. He doesn't even look at another women. He doesn't need women to "relieve his stress" or to have as "arm-candy". He doesn't even have a secretary. It's just him and he only sees and wants the Heroine.
No cheating, no separations (only a physical one for 2 weeks), no push and pull. Hero isn't domineering, doesn't force or tells Heroine what to do. He's a bit jealous, but that's totally ok in my book. Possessive in the most sexy way.
There's a bit of drama at the end, and I feared for the worst. But thankfully the author didn't need to go that way. Hero doesn't leave the Heroine because of a "misunderstanding" or because of "hurt feelings". No he waits for her, demanding answers and then he sees for himself, that he was in the wrong and even apologizes and everything is resolved. No unnecessary drama.
And I loved that the Heroine didn't have a overzealous BFF who tells her to go out and get laid already, because that's the solution of all the problems.
Now I'm awaiting (not so patiently) the next book in this series.

Questa é l'ultima volta per me che chiedo un ARC. Perché alla fine non va mai bene.
White Rabbit The Rise era partito benissimo, adoravo l'atmosfera e i due protagonisti, Uilleam e Karina, ma poi é andato tutto scemando.
Innanzitutto, ci presentano Uilleam come il peggior criminale che ci sia, un noto "Fixer", da cui é meglio stare lontani perché oh mio dio, é pericoloso e blabla, ma invece non l'ho trovato per niente cosí, di Karina si innamora praticamente subito, e lei idem, nonostante sia l'uomo su cui sta investigando e che dovrebbe portare alla giustizia.
Era abbastanza lungo per essere il primo libro e secondo me tante pagine potevano essere tagliate con l'editing perché sinceramente me ne frega poco di vedere questi due a grattarsi la pancia a Parigi mentre lui pensa ad un piano per liberarsi di un noto boss per prendere il suo posto.
Ho adorato Acquainted e non vedo l'ora di leggere i libri degli altri personaggi conosciuti in quel libro, ma la serie Kingmaker non credo proprio di avere la forza di continuarla, un vero peccato.
Real rating: 2½

From personal experience, I know just how mind blowing it is to be taken completely off guard by something you don’t expect, such as a white rabbit appearing out of nowhere. You see, once upon a time I looked out my kitchen window to see just that in my backyard. After blinking and shaking my head several times, it was still there, folks. Now I was tasked with the tricky job of catching the big guy, so he could be returned safely to his wayward home. Not to worry though. It all ended well. Turns out he belonged to a nearby neighbor. I’ll never forget how crazy it felt though to go door to door asking people if they had lost their white rabbit. Yeah, some of them likely thought I had lost my mind.
To say I was at a loss for words when that happened would be an understatement. Once again, I’m finding myself caught off guard trying to pen my thoughts to paper on White Rabbit - The Rise by London Miller. It started off unexpectedly like a detective/murder mystery type read, but the reader actually knows upfront what has happened. You end up watching Karina and Uilleam, the main couple, circle around each, all while ultimately falling head over heels in love.
There are twists, turns, and several secrets tied up in this storyline, my fellow romance book loving friends. That doesn’t even include the hints of underlying subplots and interesting sub-characters that are likely to be further revealed as this series continues to unfold in future books. Just know this main couple both have very complex pasts and backgrounds that are very likely to collide and possibly even crash and burn temporarily.
So venture if you dare down this complicated, criminal rabbit hole with Karina and Uilleam, as they are sure to have to deal with more than one devil to secure their future and happiness.
Title: White Rabbit - The Rise, Series: The Kingmaker Saga (Book 1), Author: London Miller, Pages: 389, to be continued ending, some very steamy scenes after 60%, criminal backdrop, both have complicated pasts, past child abuse, great subcharacters, intricate plot put into motion, virgin heroine, no OW drama, one OM seems interested in her, no cheating, romance safe.
(I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not given any payment or compensation for this review. There is no affiliation or relationship between this reviewer and the author/publisher/PR firm.)

If you haven't read any of Ms. Miller's other series, then this multi-volume saga traces the enemies-to-lovers relationship between criminal fixer Uilleam (which, I gather, is "William" in Gaelic) and rookie reporter Karina. If you have, then this is the MCU-like origin story of super villains criminal masterminds Kingmaker and Belladonna, who previously played secondary roles in other books. Because I haven't read them, I have no idea how cohesively this entry fits in with previous books so will be reviewing this as a standalone.
Uilleam and Karina first meet in NYC when she investigates a murder that he has covered up at the request of a powerful CEO. She gets much further than he expected her to; intrigued and more than a little aroused, he begins to "court" her. The rest of the book details their burgeoning relationship, complicated by their competing agendas (he covers up crimes; she reveals them) and dark family secrets.
There's a lot to like about this book; I'm going to concentrate on four aspects that particularly appealed to me:
1) Ms. Miller takes two well-known sub-genres -- dark erotic romance and organized crime -- and manages to add some novel twists. On the surface, this begins with the typical "good girl softens bad boy" trope, but, thankfully, doesn't stay with it for long. While it's true that Karina has a much stronger moral compass than Uilleam has, we get enough hints about her background to know that she's going to reveal that iron hand in her velvet glove very soon. Which brings me to...
2) Karina is much stronger and possesses a lot more agency than most h's do in these genres. Usually, enormous power and socio-economic disparities exist between the mafia man and the woman he pursues: even if he pursues a mafia "princess," she's usually controlled by her father. Here, though, it's clear that Karina is Uilleam's equal partner and worthy opponent. Which brings me to...
3) Karina and Uilleam are refreshing in that they actually form a believable couple predicated on something other than hormones. While there is insta-lust, the relationship itself is a comparative slow burn; in addition, the two have a lot in common (physically and emotionally abusive parents who viewed their children solely as extensions of themselves; dark and complex family histories; and secret identities that prevent them from getting close to others). Note: I didn't mind that there were few erotic scenes, but others might.
4) Mob Wars .
That said, I had three problems. Though I will finish the series and may revise this review after I do, thus far, this book displays the following weaknesses:
1) Style: I've read a lot of indie authors in the last few years and remain nonplussed by the sheer number who resort to frequent long internal monologues to convey information and reveal character. This is something I'd really like to see curtailed. Long passages with no dialogue and action are repetitious and create sluggish narratives. I skimmed several pages and, if I missed anything, I wasn't aware.
2) Dialogue: Characters frequently answered a question with a question or spoke in riddles. After a while, this tactic became unnecessarily arch.
3) Plot Holes, Continuity Errors, & Narrative Ellipses: This may get addressed in subsequent books, but a lot here doesn't add up. For example, Uilleam is presented as a man with endless resources who does his homework, yet he somehow doesn't realize that Karina . Scenes end in the middle of conversations; later we find out the resolution, but don't see the journey. How, for instance, does Uilleam manage to ? And several continuity errors exist, including the fact that though Karina tells Uilleam that she has a sister, several pages later, the narrative tells us that she hadn't. And Orion's warning to Uilleam about Karina is never revisited.
3 1/2 stars which I'm raising to 4 because at no time does Uilleam harm or disrespect Karina. Though this doesn't end in a cliff-hanger, several lines of action will continue in subsequent volumes. Oh, and Ms. Miller: as a native New Yorker, I'm here to tell you that no one calls the subway the "metro."

DNF @44%.
I just can’t anymore. The writing doesn't engage me at all. Case in point: there is really no description of the work that the H does. He's a fixer and fixes things. It's like saying a firefighter goes and put out the fire. With no detail on how he does it, I found this story unbelievable and poorly developed. Plus, the grammar was not good. There were passages that weren't even sentences. And I'm not talking about stylistic fragments either.
I generally don't rate something that I haven't read the majority of, but I just can't imagine this getting much better. The beginning was a bit interesting, but the insta-attraction watered down everything. Maybe this gets a lot better past the 44% mark, but I’m bored and just saw that the next book features this couple too. I might’ve been able to push through this one book, but three? I might revisit this but probably not.

Things I didn't like:
1. Too much inner dialogue.
2. Over-descriptive that it became boring.

I really enjoyed this book. Trying to unravel the mystery that was The Kingmaker and His Queen.
Uilleam was a man on a mission, and I loved trying to figure out his endgame and the lengths he would go to to get what he wanted, and one of the things he wanted most... Karina. He didn't stop until he got her and I was beyond excited each time he suddenly appeared in her life.
Karina was strong and had a mystery of her own going on, not to mention being an extremely good journalist. She spoke her mind and stood up to Uilleam, which only served to make him even more attracted to her.
Their scenes were electric, their moments filled with mischievous smiles (mostly Uilleam on this one) and sexual tension.
There was action, lots of scheming, and lots of romance. I definitely want to go back and read the others book to see what part Uilleam and Karina played in them. I can't wait for the next book.

This book was so worth the wait. Everything about it was what I wanted. I was biting my teeth waiting for the bomb we all know that is going to go off. I know book 2 will have a boatload of angst and I am so excited. I missed London's writing so much and am happy to read anything by her.

Just who is following whom down the rabbit hole in this twisty tale of secrets, lies, manipulation and love
White Rabbit: The Rise is the first instalment of Uilleam, the Kingmaker, and Karina's, aka Belladonna, story. These are characters that are key players in The Den of Mercenaries series of books, though it isn't necessary to have read those books prior to this. In fact White Rabbit is set prior to the events in the Den books.
If you have read those books you know about the teasing 'Codex' chapters at the end of each, not to mention the nasty battle that Belladonna wages against The Kingmaker. Without a shadow of a doubt I needed to know how they met and fell in love with each other. Theirs was obviously a love story written across the stars and branded across their souls in a most painful way. What made their love turn to hate in such a catastrophic way?
Uilleam is a fixer, a dark and powerful figure in the underworld. If you have the money, and he is interested enough in you, he can make your problems disappear. Karina is an investigative journalist whose relentless pursuit of the truth brings her to his notice. Uilleam is enraptured by this woman who isn't scared by him, Karina is soon obsessed by this mystery of a man.
The chemistry between this pair sizzled off the page. From the moment their eyes first met neither could escape the draw of the other and I totally believed in both their attraction and feelings. By the end I really loved both characters, they had somewhat similar upbringings, but have chosen to live very different lives.
Karina is very easy to connect with immediately, despite the secrets she is keeping her integrity and morals make her incredibly likeable. It takes longer to warm to Uilleam, not because he isn't an extremely well written character, but rather that he isn't a good or kind man. However once you experience his need for Karina you definitely see a different side to him.
This is a longer novel, yet it never dragged. My attention was held throughout as I followed this complex plot. There are layers, shades and depths to this book. How the author not only thinks of such amazing plots but also manages to keep them straight in her head astounds me.
I loved that this part of the story ended at a natural point. Ms Miller doesn't need to hook us in by giving us a cliffhanger, her extraordinary writing skills have already done that. I am totally caught up in Uilleam and Karina's story and will definitely be reading the next book.

It's okay.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
Bit wordy, I felt if you cut back a bit on the description it could have been less books to the series but I appreciate this may be the authors style.
Ends leading into next book.

Interesting, will give more in depth review based on book 2
November 28, 2018
White Rabbit is a hit title, because during reading this book you feel like you've actually fallen into a rabbit hole. London Miller can create such an amazing background for her stories that you land in a different time-space. Something beautiful!
Welcome to the criminal world in which the game of power is being played. In a world shrouded in mystery and danger. It’s said that love can be found in the strangest places. Uilleam and Karina found their right here.
Uilleam, the notorious Fixer is a figure known among criminals. Legend has it that at the right price he’s able to get rid of all your problems. You just have to pick his interest. However, the man has more ambitions and wants to climb higher on the criminal ladder. Unfortunately, with his next "job" Uilleam finds a small obstacle in the form of a beautiful Karina, who is determined that the person responsible for the crime will suffer the consequences ...
Karina is a journalist and apparently leads a normal life. When a new topic is assigned to her, the woman begins to draw her own theories and thus finds the secret of the mysterious Fixer. Only is she ready to dance with the devil?
Captivating. That’s what the story described in this book is. The plot is simply addictive and the characters are fascinating. I adore Uilleam. The man is cold, composed and calculating, as well as set to his goal and persistent in his efforts. Karina, in turn, is a hard and extremely bold woman. Despite the awareness that the situation is very dangerous, it doesn’t cease in her activities. And the chemistry between these two ...whoa! Although the feelings developed here slowly, through ¾ of the book I felt surrounded by the heat of these two.
White Rabbit: The Rise is definitely an addictive read. It’s lightly written, the plot is all-consuming and the author's style makes the pages turn themselves. The whole book is perfectly polished, there are no unnecessary dramas. I hope very much that the author will take pity on me and I will not have to wait long for the continuation of this story. I feel completely unsatisfied! I need more!

1.5/5
the writing was so dry, these dialogues were pulled straight from the american revolutionary war.
also, why on earth is there a character named william (completely normal and appears for two chapters) and a character named uilleam (as much character depth as a piece of cardboard and supposedly the mmc)

4.5 stars. I really liked this book and am looking forward to reading the next. I liked the h, she was smart, strong and not a push over. H was taken with her right away. Looking forward to finding out how this all plays out.

This was my first London Miller book, and after finishing White Rabbit, I sat there wondering why I haven’t read this author’s work before. I really enjoyed this author’s writing, it was refreshing and plan to start her other series soon.
I will say though that the first half of the story took me a little while to get into. It had a bit of a slow start for me, but once I hit that 50% mark I was completely hooked. I couldn’t get enough of Uilleam & Karina.
Another thing I noticed was that I kept feeling like I was missing something, as if I should have gone into this story already knowing who Uilleam & Karina were. Since this as my first London Miller book, I quickly found out that these two characters were introduced in another series. So, I’m thinking maybe this was the reason why I felt like this. I probably should have read the other series to have me properly invested in White Rabbit. Idk if I’m making any sense right now lol but just know that I enjoyed this book and plan on reading all of London Miller’s series. I also can’t wait for book two of The Kingmaker Trilogy.

I like slow burn romances, I really do ,but this one was too slow. After a certain point of time, I was tired of waiting for something exciting to happen. Moroever I didn't find much chemistry between the hero and the heroine.
It was an "ehh" read for me :(

5 Brillant Blazing Stars!!!!
London Miller is the Queen of intrigue. Kit has been dethroned as my favorite! Uilleam is truly the King! This book has been my most anticipated read of 2018. While it can be read as a stand alone, to truly get the experience of Ms. Miller’s writing, Den of Mercenaries should be read first. In that series, you get glimpses of Uilleam and Karina’s story. This book was everything! From the dedication page “For Uilleam, Your time is here.” gave me all the feels that this book was going to be unlike any Ms. Miller has written. Goosebumps!
Karina Ashworth is an investigative journalist working on a story of an apparent suicide. During her research she stumbles upon Uilleam’s name and the cat and mouse game begins. I loved that Skorpion was in this book. It just felt right and almost nostalgic. Orion was an intriguing character that I was fascinated with. Gah! It’s so hard not to give spoilers! I savored this book. I wanted to stay up all night and read, but I paced myself so I could continue to enjoy this story. I need the second book STAT! This is London Miller’s best work yet.

White Rabbit: The Rise is one of my best reads of this year. I honestly don’t know how London is doing that kind of magic. Anytime I pick a book by her, I feel like it’s a 3D movie for my vivid imagination and my participation is crucial. Her writing style is flawless, her stories and characters overwhelm me ALL THE TIME.
I haven’t read all London’s books, but her collaboration with Bethany-Kris felt me speechless. The Season of Betrayal is one of my all time favorite mafia trilogy. Then I moved quickly to Acquainted and again it was a piece of perfection. I managed to finish Volkov Bratva and she announced The White Rabbit and I was practically screaming with excitement. As you may assume, I went completely blind with Uilleam’s story. Let’s start with two simple names: Kingmaker and Belladonna. Who in the right mind won’t be intrigued by these two names?! This whole book was brilliant start to the awesome series, I enjoyed both characters way to much, their interactions, dialogues, slow-burning mutual attraction, all these elemens together created the unforgettable experience. London is that kind of author who always keep you on edge but at the same time gives you well developed answers, clearly explains this or that decisions. Although, this particular story left with a vast amount of unanswered questions and theories about what’s coming next. The anticipation level for the next book is already killing me.
My applauses to London. I love that creative mind of yours.

4 Kingdom Come Stars
London Miller strikes again with this sexy and intrigue rollercoaster romance that will make you’re heart WEEP! The Rise is just the beginning of going down the rabbit hole of Uilleam and Karina’s epic story.
So many secrets and betrayal at it’s finest hour. The slow burn oozed chemistry that left me wanting more. These two have history, one that left both their hearts broken and beyond repair. With Rise: we see the whole truth.... the beginning of the end.
Uilleam is the kingmaker, a man who is both feared and desired by many. He is judge and executioner. No one is safe.... and one night will change everything.
GAH can’t wait for book 2!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review .
I been waiting for this books!!! I’m a big fan of Uilleam (The Kingmaker) and Karina (Belladona), and every time they come on the books of the Den of mercenaries I was desperately hoping that London write some books just about themselves. I was so intrigued on how they meet and become from lovers to enemies(maybe that’s not the right word). By now I can read anything that London writes, grocery list? bring it on, and that’s because I know I’ll be loving whatever she decides to write.
This books was a gem, a very special gem, I was so happy to read this two characters, both are strong and regardless my love for Uilleam I have to admit that Karina got me totally. I want to be like her (Lol), I got a little mad at her on the last book of the Den of mercenaries but as I read about her on this book, well it’s impossible not to like her.
As always, the story it’s soo well conducted, London it’s one of my top five writers in English (my lenguaje is Spanish) and it’s because she really work her stories, the way she describe and wrapped the characters and places it’s magical. I can see my self feeling and seeing everything, included the sad parts that make me cry.
She is soo good.
I wish I can tell you more about this but I like to keep this review without spoiler, just thrust me and go read the book. Fantastic job London and I can’t wait for the next book!!!

Holy Smokes!!! I have been waiting on this moment since Red and Oh My GOODNESS was it worth every second I had to wait!!!
Ok so I have to do the disclaimer that I received an ARC in exchange so my opinions...isnt that great😀 Any Who who back to the review!
The beginnings of a King and the Queen bold enough to be by his side. Uilliam chess like quest for ultimate power is his singular goal until he crosses paths with the with the beautiful and tenacious journalist Karina Ashworth. I am all in my feelings over these two and this was exactly what I was hoping for!!! The beginnings of this iconic pair lays the groundwork for the explosive future we experienced in the the Den of Mercenaries books. The king before he was the maker and Queen that had yet to be pushed into her queendom. The chemistry between these two is magic and explains why they are so agonized. The beginnings of them and the problems they face while trying not to fall into the traps of others is complex and enthralling!
As usual London weaves world's so intense and beautifully written that you hate for the story to end....God knows I was salty at the end!!!
Strong Heroine✔
Unconventional Hero✔
Explosive chemistry✔
Keanu✔✔✔✔
Intrigue✔✔
I loooved the story and can't wait for the next glimpse into the past of this royal pair!
