I wanted to DNF this series. This audiobook was 16 hours long and I didn't think I was going to make it to the end. This is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books I've felt this on. Simply put, I didn't enjoy the series. I finished it to say I finished it, giving it a chance. The spice and HEA were a saving grace for me. I'm a sucker for smut and a HEA, but it was a rough road to get there.

American King by Sierra Simone takes the emotional rollercoaster to a whole new level, leaving me simultaneously loving and hating the characters. The mind-blowing secrets and revelations kept me on the edge of my seat. And the satisfying happily-ever-after for the love triangle brought a perfect end to this series.
