The Last King by Katee Robert

3.0

Beckett King has the world on his shoulders. Not only has he inherited his father's fortune and company, he also inherited his father's enemies. What is more is that no matter what he intends to get to the bottom of his father's death. Meanwhile, Beckett has another fight on his hands. That fight is with Samara Mallick, his rival and his sometimes lover. How can they, on opposing sides of the same business, but almost together in matters of the heart, find an equal balance?

Samara may truly be drawn to Beckett, sometimes in ways even she doesn't understand, but can she trust him? That is the most important thing, after all. The King family are indeed heads and shoulders above the crowd, but her business is just as compelling, and she is not certain she is ready to give up everything she has worked towards.

Passion is definitely at the forefront in this story. However, danger is present as well. I must admit that it was hard to remain focused on the drama contained within the pages because, in all honesty, I had to skim about the book. I felt that the balance was off a bit.

Katee Robert is new to me, and this just may be her style. Upon completing this book, however, I read The Fearless King, which I did enjoy a bit better. While this was no doubt a romance, there was also the tension that existed between the two families and this allowed me to wonder what potential could be reached between Samara and Beckett. In addition, there was a lot of drama withing Samara's family that was unfolding. My review for the next book is under separate cover.
