If you’re looking for new recipes or want to get some cooking done in between your reading, check out the Fit for a King cookbook from some of your favorite authors.
This free cookbook is inspired by the Kings of the Castle Series, which includes books from USA TODAY bestselling author Naleighna Kai and New York Times bestselling author, S.L. Jennings, as well as national bestselling authors Martha Kennerson, Lisa Watson, J.L. Campbell, Janice M. Allen, London St. Charles, Karen D. Bradley, MarZé Scott and some of their friends, including yours truly, have also contributed to the cookbook. I’ve included a recipe for baked Hawaiian sandwiches, which my husband loves.
“Food and books both unite people, so we thought it would be fun to offer readers a way to extend their reading experience and to connect with us on a different level,” Kai said.
The Fit for a King cookbook, complete with recipe photos and book excerpts, contains an interesting mix of cuisines from India, Italy, Southern USA, Africa, and many other places—everything from childhood favorites to main meals that are sure to please the most discriminating taste buds.
“It was destined that we do one to accompany the Kings of the Castle Series. Thanks to the advice of Siera London, this is our third one and the best marketing piece we’ve had to date,” said Kai who came up with the concept for the second cookbook, which focused on summer recipes and included a different set of authors, in addition to the Fit for a King cookbook. “There are people who bypass promo material, but they do a backtrack when they hear the word cookbook.”

This is a combination recipe book and advertisement for a plethora of romance and erotica books. After each author-contributed recipe is a short book exerpt with About the Author info, book covers, and websites to buy the book or follow the author.
The recipe part of this book was great, with 23 tasty-looking recipes with even tastier-looking food pictures. I tried Royce's Tuna Macaroni Salad, and it was wonderful; despite the fact that it was purposely lacking measurements, it was easy enough to wing. If anybody wants to know what measurements I used, I wrote them down and would be happy to share. I would give the cookbook segment five stars.
The romance advertisement part of the book, I did not like. Many, if not most, of the excerpts were very raunchy and not at all my kinds of books. One of the covers shown even depicts graphic nudity. The book was extremely poorly edited, with several major typos making certain parts hard to read, such as, "Her crazy no holds barred cantor has received praise". I would give the non-cookbook segment one star, if that.
Overall, I'll give the book three stars, with a hearty warning to readers and a hearty recommendation for people to try Royce's Tuna Macaroni Salad. Yum!
A cookbook from a variety of authors from around the world that will excite your taste buds for new things. You also have a variety of recipes from many different dining categories. There are also book excerpts from all of the authors. I am planning to try several of the recipes.
