Book Review: The King by Skye Warren

The highest stakes...

My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I'm his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.

Every kind of danger circles the velvet-covered table, but only one man makes me tremble.

A trailer park princess.

The son of a criminal king.

We don't belong together, but I'm caught in a twisted game.

His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his cards, I know I'm going to lose more than my body. I'm going to lose everything.

What can I say? I caved in! The King is part one of the Masterpiece Duet. I was going to wait until The Queen, part two, was released before reading the series because I knew that the cliff hanger would hurt. I was right! The cliff hanger was oh so painful. Skye Warren knows how to leave you hanging, waiting, stalking, hoping for a nibble of what's to come. Now I impatiently wait.




The King is Damon and Penny's story. We previously met them in the Endgame Series (The Pawn, The Knight and The Castle). The story is intense! It's dark, dangerous, and damaged. It's every thing and more. I loved the Endgame Series but Damon takes it to the next level.

"Because Damon Scott traded himself for me. He's the only reason I'm safe. And I'm the reason he's not."

Damon and Penny have a dark and dangerous connection. It's Damon who sacrificed himself in order save Penny. His sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed. It's years later Penny finds herself paying for father's misdeeds and punished for her connection to Damon.

Damon had been hanging on by a thread to the boy he once was but now his need for revenge has completed journey to the dark side.

The ending leaves us at the card table once again, gambling and risk. Now we wait for the move in The Queen. 5 Stars!

Review: The King (Original Sinners #6) by Tiffany Reisz

Cunning. Sex. Pure nerve. Only this unholy threesome can raise him to his rightful place as a ruler of Manhattan's kink kingdom.

Bouncing from bed to bed on the Upper East Side, Kingsley Edge is brilliant, beautiful and utterly debauched. No carnal act or chemical compound can relieve his self-destructive heartache—only Søren, the one person he loves without limit or regret. A man he can never have, but in whose hands Kingsley is reborn to attain even greater heights of sin.

Kingsley's plan to open the ultimate BDSM club—a dungeon playground for New York's A-list—becomes his obsession. His expertise in domination can't subdue the one man who wants to stop him. The enigmatic Reverend Fuller won't rest until King's dream is destroyed, and so the battle lines are set; it's one man's sacred mission against another's…

The King is the 6th book in the Original Sinners Series. I 100% recommend you read the series in order.

Kingsley Edge is visiting with Grace and shares his story.  Kingsley at twenty-eight years old is lost. He's no longer living until he reconnects with Soren after eleven years. Soren seeks Kingsly help with freeing Nora. Kingsly assists with Nora's situation and Soren assists with bringing Kingsley back to life. Kingsley hires Sam to be his personal assistant. Now that Kingsley is living again he devises a plan to build a BDSM club where he could be  'King' and he can watch over all his people.  He also wanted and had promised to given Soren a dungeon.

"I wanted this club for you." Kingsley confessed. "The truth is, I was building it for you.  I wanted you to have somewhere safe you could go and be you. Because I love you." 

"That day in the Rolls when we went to visit your sister, I promised you I would build you a castle, and you said to build you a dungeon instead.  Why not both in one? I promise someday."

Kingsley had chosen a building that was currently owned by Reverend Fuller from WTF (oops, I ment WTL) ministries. A conservative organization against all things perverted. Unfortunately Sam had a very bad experience with the WTL. Fortunately she met Kingsley and together they would find away to get the building so Kingsley could have his kingdom. I really enjoyed Kingsley story. We discovered his motives for establishing the Eighth Circle, where the name came from and why he wears his frock.  I am totally captivated by Tiffany Reisz and her Eighth Circle.
