I love this cover! This is not an MC read but our main character does ride a Harley. In fact, Bennett's character was a good mix of motorcycle bad boy and rich corporate suit. They are my favorite types of Hero's.
Bennett just inherited his family company after his father dies in a car accident. There is not a lot of love lost between him and his father, but the accident sounds suspicious. When a series of events start happening soon after, Bennett knows he needs to investigate before he ends up like his father.
Samara is the right hand woman to Lydia King. She's hard working and loyal. She should not give into her attraction to Lydia's nephew, Bennett. He's the son of the enemy and competition to Lydia's company. When Lydia keeps throwing her in the path of Bennett to attain information, she knows she has to be careful or she will be collateral damage between the two powerful family members.
Bennett and Samara have been fighting their mutual attraction from the beginning. Bennett should be concentrating on the suspicious nature of his father's death and the recent change to his will. He should not be caring more about getting Samara to fall for him.
This is a great start to what looks like a new family drama series by Katee Robert. We got introduced to several side characters that will make for a great main character in future books. I'm looking forward to seeing where the author takes this. ARC provided by NetGalley.

Fabulous start to this series! The Last King is well written and will captivate you from the very first page. The characters will make you devour each word and leave you begging for more.
From secrets to family drama, to undeniable chemistry and some seriously hot moments, this book hits all the marks! The Last King is the first book in an exciting and thrilling new series from author Katee Robert and I for one can not wait to see where this series will go next!

I listened to this on audio. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue the series even though I know they are standalones.
i want to preface this by saying THIS WASN'T A BAD BOOK but i just am so bored so i'm not gonna finish it :/ sorry ms katee, i love you, but i have a small attention span at this exact point in my life and i can't do it!
the writing was great, i just was bored with the plot! also i know this is only my second katee robert book, but the first one i read was just infinitely better than this one so you can see how much progress she has made as an author when reading her newer work!

Beckett King. Just typing his name is making me swoon. This book was so amazing and I am absolutely in love with both him and Samara. She is so damn strong and he is just, well he's just Beckett. I cannot wait for more from this series!
Beckett King has the world on his shoulders. Not only has he inherited his father's fortune and company, he also inherited his father's enemies. What is more is that no matter what he intends to get to the bottom of his father's death. Meanwhile, Beckett has another fight on his hands. That fight is with Samara Mallick, his rival and his sometimes lover. How can they, on opposing sides of the same business, but almost together in matters of the heart, find an equal balance?
Samara may truly be drawn to Beckett, sometimes in ways even she doesn't understand, but can she trust him? That is the most important thing, after all. The King family are indeed heads and shoulders above the crowd, but her business is just as compelling, and she is not certain she is ready to give up everything she has worked towards.
Passion is definitely at the forefront in this story. However, danger is present as well. I must admit that it was hard to remain focused on the drama contained within the pages because, in all honesty, I had to skim about the book. I felt that the balance was off a bit.
Katee Robert is new to me, and this just may be her style. Upon completing this book, however, I read The Fearless King, which I did enjoy a bit better. While this was no doubt a romance, there was also the tension that existed between the two families and this allowed me to wonder what potential could be reached between Samara and Beckett. In addition, there was a lot of drama withing Samara's family that was unfolding. My review for the next book is under separate cover.

This one might have been my favorite of this series. Less stressful that some of the others, but enjoyable. You do know what's going to happen at this point, but they're always fun.
