King Me by Lucy Lennox
4.0
All of the Wilde family stories have been crazy, but King Me is one of the craziest (in a good way)! There’s enemies to lovers goodness but also insane art heist hijinks.
Kingston (King) Wilde is a notorious art thief (Le Chaton) and a skilled forger who hasn’t been caught yet but he’s going straight, starting immediately. He’s been burned by his ex-partner and is looking to change his life and figure out what’s next when he’s not planning heists. He never intended to be an art thief but got taken advantage of when he was young and set himself on a path he couldn’t escape. Similar to all of his siblings, his family is his life and he’ll do anything to protect them from his crazy and criminal lifestyle.
Dirk Falcon is an FBI agent who specializes in art crimes and has been on King’s trail for years, having caught him once but let him go, leading to his demotion. He’s the team leader but he’s been on his own in his personal life for years. He has a strong, commanding presence but trusts the people around him to do what needs to be done to get the job done. Falcon is dedicated to his job and loves being involved with the art world but he’s also ready to settle down with someone, picket fence and all.
The back and forth between these two was incredible. They have so much history even though they’ve only met each other once and it was so obvious that they got under each other’s skin in a way they never expected when they started working together. These two worked really well together but they were keeping their own secrets from each other while also falling for each other the more time they spent in close proximity. Their heist planning shenanigans were fun to read but I wanted more romance between them - their love story got a little overshadowed by their work at times.
Like all the Forever Wilde stories, I’m excited to read what comes next but I’m also not quite ready to let the Wildes go just yet!
