Blinded by the Sun
Ciro is like the sun; if you stare too hard, you become blind.
But what happens when you stare, and the sun looks back at you?
He is the sun personified. I crave to stare at him, bask in all his glory and disappear in him. He makes me see what I didn’t want to see. He makes me strong. He makes me whole.
He makes me…Me but I don’t want to be me, I want to be Ciro’s.

This is my second story by this author and I was a bit confused by it. It seemed to about of lost love through reincarnation story. It was dark in places. I will have to say I did not enjoy this story as much as the other one. I could not really follow the theme of the story and it just felt like it was all over the place. It did not feel like a story with a purpose or meaning. This is could be just mean. I like to be able to follow and understand the story, it was too long to much sex and not enough story for me with this particular book.

This book was a bit confusing to me, going back into time and the future. I love Ciro, King, and the other characters, especially Matteo. The beginning of the book was good but the reincarnation and the Shakespeare story threw me off.

A Different kind of love story
Reincarnation. Coming back again and again hoping you finally get it right. Ciro and Kingsley did just that. A chance meeting with a beautiful girl who was desperate enough to take her own life in front of the Don from Quebec leads to an epic tale of love, devotion, heartbreak, death, adoration and a happily ever after. There's betrayal, laughter, and some characters from previous books. I truly enjoyed this story.

Woosahhhhhh... so good!!!
King Ellie has me rethinking my favorite genre and maybe switching to dark romance. Ciro the bad boy and King the lost soul. I would say more, but I hate spoilers myself. I will say that I highly recommend this book. Grab it up!!!

Oh my damn!!! Oh my damn!!! This book is fire. Dark romance has a new queen and it's King Ellie. She slayed this book. It's dark with a strong emotional connection. It's also erotic, sexy, and sensual hotness. Ciro and King have a past connection that is revealed. It's an emotional roller coaster but the ride is worth it. Buckle up and get ready for the experience that is all King Ellie. She has a way of breaking your heart and putting it back together piece by piece. I'm now a lover of Shakespeare and Greek mythology. This book is told in different points of view, no cheating (depends on what is considered cheating). no cliffhangers, and a hea. I highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed. I'm on a mission now to read everything King Ellie.

King Ellie, you got me all confused at first...Thinking, mhmm that's different! But I should have known that you and your "mazing" mind were heading to an AMAZING place where mere mortal can't conjure up.
Ciro , King your chemistry is out of this world, you keep me at the edge of my seat, Tatyanna didn't have a prayer, sicko or not.
Bos & Adri I love you both, can't wait for your story. Theo, you are destined for greatness. Bobby, you are wonderful!
Great characters and the story will let you so enthralled that you don't want it to end.

OMG!!
I really don't know what to say except buckle your seat belt and get ready for a wonderful ride! I love everything about this Author's work. But this book takes me deeper into a world that I've read by other authors but not with these twists. Wonderful storyline and wonderfully written. There could be triggers for some but for me it only adds to the depth of the storytelling. I would definitely recommend this book.

Full Circle
I'm so glad that both Ciro and Kingsley came full circle with there love for each other and that their past didn't influence them into letting the past be just what it was past, I'm glad it let them move forward.

Love this book
Great read!!! I was a little nervous with how the relationship started but in the end I loved it!!! It is a dark romance so beware. If you are on the fence give it a try because it’s well worth it.

King Ellie is the complete business. I love the reincarnation aspects of this story and previous stories. The way she weaves her stories together, I absolutely hate when they end. King Ellie has yet to disappoint.

Who says that the hero can't have a dark side? I loved Ciro and Kings relationship and how they feed off each other. Can't wait to read more of these rebirth stories.

He blinded her but gave her shades
Ciro Gael Sarkozy was a sadistic cold-hearted don. He was in an open marriage which did not bother him at all. That is until Kingsley Storm was given to him. His whole life changed. Even though she was brought up by her uncle and treated very badly, she still had an aura of innocence and goodness that Ciro was drawn to. Even his dog Poutine was drawn to her. She thought she was an unwanted child that was abandoned, only to find out it was the furthest from the truth. Once her truth was learned, her whole being blossomed. The story of Ciro and King's past life and finding each other is amazing. Their love for each other traveled over the millennia only for them to find each other again in this present life.
I just love how the author uses great imagination and imagery to incorporate an ancient Greek tale as told by Shakespeare into a modern tale. She also blended characters from previous stories into this one seamlessly. It was a great retelling of a Midsummer Night's Dream only with Demetrius and Helena finding their HEA in this lifetime.

Good read
I enjoyed both H and h. It was fun seeing King come into her own. The public sex and nudity at the beginning was a bit disturbing because Ciro was doing it to show his power to others. I didn’t know it was a somewhat paranormal story so it was disconcerting, however it didn’t distract too much from the story. I missed a few things with this story though. First, as it’s a mob story, I wish it had more action. It ended up being more of a love story. For instance, the revenge on Stannis was a let down. The story behind her parentage still wasn’t clear. Why did her grandmother want her mother dead? If King was marked from birth, why would they need her now to get the money? Why did her mother have this money?
I wish there was more interactions with Matteo. King took photos so what happened with them? I would have liked to know more about her father and his family. Have a scene with all of them together.

King Ellie, You’ve Done it Again!
King Ellie, I’m hooked! I’ve read each every and every one of your books that are on Amazon. You are an amazing and talented author, who can weave a story like nobody’s business. Ciro Sarkozy, I want one like him for myself, dangerous yet protective and loving. I love how you intermingle your characters with reincarnations of Greek mythology gods and demi-gods. As a kid reading everything I could find on Greek mythology was one of my favorite pastimes and to have it reimagined and told in the way that only you can, you’re giving me life and got me hooked like a junkie needing my next fix! I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next, but just know that I’ll be ready and waiting to enjoy!

Dark and Dark and then darker
I enjoy reading King Ellie's books until they get to the point of reincarnating someone. That always throws me off and I internally wish I could encourage her to not adding the reincarnation part because it doesn't add to the story for me. (see how I make this about me. LOL)
I LOVED this story and mentally removed/ignored the part of about characters being a reincarnation of historical figures. I would have really LOVED this story if it was all alpha crazy male, dark romance, and HEA. I would like to read a book without a HEA.
Ciro oozed dominance and alpha and crazy. He had to be certifiably crazy. He was so crazy that he skinned people. Yet he was less crazy with Kingsley. She balanced him almost. And he balanced her. She lacked a few marbles also. She loved Ciro after witnessing some of the horrible things he could do and did. She didn't change her mind. Overall, they worked together.
I would recommend this story to anyone and everyone. It's a great story with lots of twists and turns and loads of darkness.
Happy Reading!

King Elle, you have done it again. I am in love with every character in every book. Powerful, intense, dark, dangerous and heartwarming. Blinded By The Sun had all of the vital elements to grab and keep your attention to the very last word. I really enjoyed the adventure.

Wow, a dark twisted tale!!
Ciro and King, all I can say is wow, this is a seriously dark, violent, intense story. You have many doubts that any type of meaningful relationship can come from the first meeting.
King's upbringing is so dysfunctional brought up in a brothel, there are so many twists and turns you are riveted until the very end. Ciro is an otherworldly alpha male.

I love the way this author writes.
I enjoy taking my time to read every word because I don’t want to miss a single thing. I felt this way about Ciro and King. I thought King was awesome and Ciro was some kind of crazy but I loved him. Oh and their sex scenes were something else. Definitely keep writing King..keep the books coming. You’ve definitely got a fan in me.

Loved it!
Cir and King deserved their happiness after all they went through! When I purchased this book, I did not know it was about reincarnation, but I was happy to read about the old bunch, Alex and Kenna and the rest! Loved the family dynamics and laughed out loud quite a few times at the antics of the men! Like I said before, loved it!
