I really wanted to love this, but it just didn’t do it for me - the Park Avenue Princes series was borderline ridiculous but so much fun to read and I was excited to see what the Kings were all about. Sadly, I don’t think they lived up to the hype, at least not in this story.
From the very beginning, I wasn’t invested in Lachlan and Cooper’s relationship - the way they met and the way their relationship progressed just felt a little ick to me. I don’t like when one MC is keeping a major secret from the other and this one went on way too long for my liking. I felt like things between them were strained or focused mainly around sex and they didn’t really get to know each other despite being in such forced proximity. Their relationship felt surface level at best and honestly a little boring. Ultimately it was just fine - Lachlan and Cooper were fine together and the big, overarching plot wrapup was fine. I really just has hoping for more - more passion, more emotion, more action, more communication, more about the Kings…just more of everything.
Giving this one 3 stars instead of 2.5 for the glimpses of King, East and Zac - I still feel like their story isn’t totally over, so I’m living for more of them!
