The King's Delight by Sarah Honey

3.0

2.5 stars. Enjoyable on the whole, but kinda unremarkable? The new royal groom mistakes the king for someone else, gives him a lot of backtalk, the king is pretty amused about this and they end up having a sexy interlude that leads to more. It's a fun little premise, and there's plot stuff happening in the background, but it was all just a little flat to me. I wanted more chemistry, more horse stuff, more close-up views of the administration of this kingdom. I could see how the author wanted me to care about relationships outside of the main one, and laid the foundations for that, but it didn't really bear fruit. As for the main relationship... it was cute! Not anything to write home about. There's fair bit of sex and it's fun and kinky and good, but also somehow really flat?? IDK, I just wasn't feeling it. Not that the book was bad in any way; just not a new favourite or anything.
