Tempting the King by Dani Wyatt

Dani Wyatt makes a return with her latest release, Tempting the King—a standalone romance full heat, over-the-top romance, and an obsessive love from her MMC. Although the book started off slow in the beginning, it quickly picked up once Emee and King had their first true meeting. I liked that Emee was incredibly independent and had issues with not being in control due to past trauma. Unfortunately for her, meeting King threatened everything including her livelihood, control, and future. This was one of those opposites attract romance because while Emee was a rule follower, King had anger issues, was prone to violence, and embodied everything that was chaos. The story begins with them as therapist and patient but quickly spiraled out of control because King was determined to possess Emee and demanded everything from her.

“Give it all to me. All that sweetness. Lose control for me, baby. When you’re with me, I take care of everything.”

 

In the end, this was an incredibly spicy and short romance between two characters who were able to overcome their past trauma and find love with each other. King was a dirty talker and I was completely enamored over his obsessive and possessive love for Emee. He was simply crazy and unhinged for her, which made for an entertaining read. The bit with Emee's brother was somewhat frustrating to read because he was clearly taking advantage of her but I was happy with how they were able to resolve it in the end. I'm hoping that the author will write a book for Victor Kozlov, King's best friend and teammate, because he was interesting and had a lot of personality. If you are looking for a quick and dirty romance featuring likable characters and plenty of steam, you won't be disappointed with this book!
