There were some cute parts but overall not a favorite of mine. I know that it probably can't be classified as actually "cheating" that occurs but it was too close for comfort for me. They have some cute moments but the chemistry wasn't there for me. Just not a book for me but maybe for you!

To Read my full Review of The Sinful King, check out my blog: https://thebookangel1.blogspot.com/2020/08/book-review-sinful-king-by-claire.html

This book took me by surprise. I happened across this book by surprise when I was updating my goodreads. It showed up in the Readers Also Enjoyed Bar and I was in a very romance/rom-com mood so I decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did because this book was actually really good.

I really like reading royalty-commoner romance books. If they are done right, they can be really fun & enjoyable to read and this book was. The Sinful King follows the story of Adeline, a rising event planner and Pince Elias, the heir to the French crown. When the two first meet, there is an instant attraction and connection but their one night stand was suppose to be exactly that. A one-night stand. However, five years later, the two meet again and the sparks are still there. Adeline is still a commoner. Elias is still the Crown Prince. He is expected to take over his father's crown and marry another royal. But all he really wants is Adeline.

Dreamy. That's the best way to describe Claire Contreras's The Sinful King. This royal romance is all kinds of sweet and and sexy. Adeline and Prince Elias, future king of France, have such a great connection. Instant and intense.

I live for the longing and the angst. Claire Contreras does a great job building the tension. The fight between duty and desire really tugged at the feels.

I don't read many royal romances but I really enjoyed The Sinful King. This fast paced, addicting, swoony read is a must.
