If you enjoyed The Hangover, than NAUGHTY KING is going to be a book that you truly enjoy. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas and changes everything.
Alexander King is an ass, but his drive to be the best and to keep his father's business at the top requires him to be that way. He's sexy as hell, knows it, but can't commit to anything with a woman longer than it takes for him to get him off and collect her paycheck. Not really a guy you'd be falling all over, but the author makes it work.
Margo Buchanan is his new assistant. A ploy in King's latest takeover scheme to make sure the man who's business he is taking over behaves. But there is so much more to Margo and she's a woman willing to do what it takes to help save her father's failing business. She's a likable character and there is more to her than some fancy window dressing.
I didn't want Margo to fall for a-hole Alexander...no matter how good looking he was. But an over-the-top client/bff to Alexander makes that virtually impossible. We discover there's more behind Alexander's a-hole exterior. Of course, we discover that almost at the end of the novella, but it's enough of a hook to have me interested in what happens next. Yamata, Alexander's client/bff, was over the top and way too similar to Mr. Chow from the Hangover, but he plays a role in getting our hero and heroine together. For that, I can look the other way and wait for FIESTY PRINCESS.
