The Rejected King by Kortney Keisel

5.0

Sooo @authorkortneykeisel knows how to begin a book... and end... and well everything in between! The Rejected King was sooooo good! This comes before The Promised Prince... but could read alone. It did make one or two things click more once I read this. So next time I reread these I’ll be reading The Rejected King first. And trust me, I’ll be rereading these lots!
Davin and Emree have their work cut out for them to boost Davin’s approval rating and also run the Promenade. There is such a tension between them the whole book. I couldn’t wait for Emree to dump her boyfriend because he seemed like such a jerk and doesn’t care for her. The whole book I was trying to scheme a way for Emree and Davin to be together. His kingdom is ruthless and I can’t imagine trying to follow your heart, do what is best for the citizens AND please them all at the same time. I enjoyed Emree and Davins love for books and their little secret book exchange. Emree’s jealousy about Patrice made me laugh. I could just hear how she was saying “Pat Rice” in her head all disgusted.
Thank you @authorkortneykeisel for writing these amazing books and I look forward to all your future books! Auto buy for me!
