The King's Delight by Sarah Honey
4.0
***ARC Review***
I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and the author.
“The King’s Delight” by Sarah Honey is a charming and delightful (see what I did there) story about the royal horse groom, Felix, and King of Lilleforth, Leopold. The pair happen across one another when Leopold chances sneaking away to ride his beloved horse, Blackbird. Felix mistakes him for a thief and secret romantic hijinks ensue.
Felix is one sassy, snarky, feisty man. Leopold is used to people kissing his butt, so it’s refreshing having someone as outspoken and passionate as Felix in his presence. Leopold and Felix continue their romantic endeavors all while trying to thwart a princess, an assassin, and a kidnapper! Even with all of that going on, the book is pretty low angst. I really enjoyed how sweet both MCs were to one another amid all of the action and banter.
Janus, Mattias, and Mother Jones are excellent side characters. I love the reveal at the end about Davin! I literally laughed out loud. There’s a decent amount of humor and heat in this book. There is a bit of a spanking kink as well. This book is whimsical and fantastical. It’s lovely and engaging. If you are a fan of historical and/or fantasy romances, then this book is for you!
