Fearless King by Maya Hughes
4.0
Now, my first book in this series was book 3, but reading that one made me excited for all the characters' stories. And while it took me a bit to get into this, well, after the very dramatic beginning, once we got into the day to day chapters of the story, I had a bit of trouble getting going, after that, I was swept up and had trouble putting it down.
This was a story of all the obstacles that could possibly come in between two people meant to be together. Sometimes this really frustrates me, because I feel like if I just had the chance for that kind of love, there's nothing that would keep me from it. But both Ford and Liv had really good reasons for the things that held them back. Until one point at the end, but then Ford turned around and made it a perfect ending. Liv's brother Colm was one of those reasons, actually a few of them. He not only factored in Liv's dedication to med school, a future that didn't really make her excited, but he also factored in not only as Ford's best friend, but also a friend that Ford had wronged, even if done unknowingly. And then there was Ford's family, and what he'd had to do to his mom at a young age, which made it hard for him to tell people things that he knew might hurt them, if he thought he could spare them from that hurt. Not to mention it was also his younger brother who was a factor in the relationship, as he also was interested in Liv. But it was so much more for his younger brother Grant than just an interest in the girl.
This was a very involved story, had a lot of ins and outs to keep me on the edge of my seat as I read, as well as keeping our couple apart. In the end we got our HEA for Liv and Ford, as we should.
One other thing I loved was not only did I get to check in with all our characters I loved from the other Kings of Rittenhouse books, but also I got to spend some time with characters I met and liked in the more recent book by this author, Perfect First. Which makes me so excited to get back to them, especially since there is only one more character to fit into this series. I'll be looking forward to Colm's book, because right now he's not a happy guy, and I'm grumpy with him as well as he is with those around him. But I'd like to see him get his HEA, and I know the author will do that in his book.
