I have SO many things to say about this book, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone, so  

This series destroyed me, this last book being the hardest, best, most wonderful destruction ever!   Be sure to read the Author's notes, as she explains how it ties in to the King Arthur mythos, and truthfully, I like Sierra's take on it the best I have seen (I have not read so much Arthur stories, but I've seen a lot of the movies)   And I truly appreciate the "why would you choose a knight when you have the king?"   I ugly cried through the last 100 or so pages of this book - like I needed kleenex, and might have even caused myself to bleed (oh how Ash would be so proud he made me bleed).  I am now a little sad that I have to say goodbye to Ash, Greer and Embry - I love them so much. Truthfully, this is an epic for the ages - the kink aside, this story is AMAZING.  The kinky spice just made it better.

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.

I mean… it was fine. Not something I’ll read again, but I’m glad I finished the series. Weird way to wrap it up, though, ngl.
