Four Kings series promises to be exiting.
Liked the Kings, didnt connect with Ace's love interest. But will continue to read the series.
Fun, action, friends who support one another and prank each other.
Crazy ride..

I truly enjoyed the book. Loved the characters and the romance!
My only regret is that the book wasn't paranormal/urban fantasy; I would have probably rated higher because it's the genre I enjoy and tend towards the most. But I seem to be on a contemporary romance mood. It's the 7th book I read in a little over a week and usually if I read one M/M contemporary book in a month is already amazing!

Yes yes yes!
I’ll be honest—it took me more than halfway through to feel any attachments to Colton or Ace, but the story had piqued my interest and I wanted to see how it played out. Good decision! Once I got a feel for these two, I was hooked. But I absolutely can’t wait to dive into Red and Laz’s story next!

I have heard so many awesome things about Charlie Cochet's books, so, I decided it was time to check one out for myself and boy am I glad I did. As this was a fabulously entertaining, fun filled, fast-paced, well written story. That had action, hot sexy men, a tangible sense of family, affection and a little suspense. Plus two interesting and lovable lead characters who, quite honestly clashed with each other a lot in the beginning. But for me, that's what made it all the more enjoyable and enthralling to read, and it's fair to say I was hooked. And with so many great, likable secondary characters to enjoy I will definitely be reading more from this series and author in the future.
Would happily recommend.

Ein bissi zu viele Charaktere für meinen Geschmack, aber toll gelesen im Audiobook und das Ende war stark, darum doch 4 Sterne. Hat auch Lust gemacht die Serie weiterzuhören.

Full Review posted at Book Lovin' Mamas
The very ending of the book and finding out who was behind the death threats of Colton is what left me in shock. I didn’t expect who it was and thought it was someone else. Charlie had me surprised by the villain, and I love when authors can leave me in shock.
If you’re a fan of M/M Romance, then I would recommend this book, I’ll have to make time for the next books in the series and also check out Charlie’s other books since I’ve heard some fantastic things.
Story Rating: 4 stars
Steaminess Rating: 4 stars
Standalone or part of series: Part of Four Kings Security Series.
Do I recommend this book? Yes.
Will I read other books from the author? Yes.
Tropes/Elements: Enemies-to-Lovers (Due to Ace having to be Colton’s Bodyguard); Instant Attraction, but both characters fight it, which makes it a Slow Burn for me.
Favorite Quotes
“I don’t want a quick f**k with you Colton, because there would be no getting you out of my system.” Colton sucked in a sharp breath, and Ace landed in to kiss Colton’s cheek. “You deserve more.” (pg. 95)
“Colton narrowed his eyes. “Big help you are. Aren’t you supposed to protect me?” “Do you want me to shoot it?” “Yes, Ace. I want you to shoot the seaweed.” “If I could, but then someone would hear it and call the cops, and then I’d have to explain to them and to King how I drew my gun on a bunch of algae, and I don’t know, that seems like an awful lot of paperwork. I don’t like paperwork. I can call it in if you want. Get Lucky out here to take care of it. Or ask it out on a date.” (pg. 174)

Ok, a reread for me but I enjoyed this a lot more on the second read. I feel like I was too invested in the THIRDS series to fully appreciate this one. My only issue was I wanted to be in the know with the investigation a little more, because the ending did feel rushed when the focus shifted from romance to action.

Love in Spades is a fun, bodyguard-esque retelling.
