Ruthless King by Maya Hughes

3.0

3.5 stars
"You're the constant in my life, in my heart, my everything."

Even though Ruthless King is the third book in this series, it was my first. It's also my first by Maya Hughes and I must say, I'm quite surprised and impressed. Don't let my 3 star rating blind you. This book is a great entertaining read. It's filled with drama and heartache. A very likable, damn hot and vulnerable hero and a strong, admirable heroine give this second chance sports romance the right drive.

"It had only taken almost losing him again to see that I'd rather he saw all the imperfections than be without him."

Although the writing was good and nicely paced, I wished for more character development and seeing more of the couple Emmet and Avery. Furthermore I had some trouble with the reasons for separation, from both sides. But that really is a matter of opinion.

Nevertheless this book got me intrigued to give the other books in this series a chance and I hopefully find the time soon to continue reading this series.

Ruthless King is an emotional enemies to lovers - second chance sports romance, I really enjoyed reading!
