If you loved the Sullivan series you will love book one of the Kings series! This book starts off with a bang- a bad blind date turned one night stand with another. Here for the drama of it all. Whip King is a babe. Hot firefighter who can cook and make furniture?? Sign me up! He’s such a sweetie and has it down bad for our girl Emily. Emily is very relatable- all about rules and plans. I loved seeing Whip make Emily feel safe and at home to relax and have fun release the pressures she puts on herself to be perfect. I equally loved how Emily brought out Whip’s sensitive side making him feel safe to share his fears and be vulnerable with her. The hot forbidden/secret spice didn’t hurt either. I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down. I am so excited to see where this series goes next. This book is great for fans of Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner that are looking for similar vibes minus the football.
