Synopsis

Who are we? Nobody really knows. We’re seven powerful heirs to empires, ruling Manhattan from our thrones on Park Avenue. By day, we’re the elite, untouchable, and more connected than you could ever imagine. By night, we revel in the darkness of our secrets, pulling strings that make the city bow to our whims.

Ruthless.

Dangerous.

We’re the Park Avenue Kings.

In this city of power and desire, where the line between love and obsession blurs, nothing is off-limits—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. *** He’s the shadow they send to make problems disappear.


Lachlan Stone thrives in the shadows, ruling his world of secrets and power with savage precision. As the most lethal of the Park Avenue Kings, he can’t afford the luxury of attachments. But when a mission takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself saving Cooper Patterson—a determined journalist who stumbles into a dangerous world far bigger than he ever imagined.

Cooper is everything Lachlan should avoid: relentless, curious, and far too tempting for his own good. Worse, his profession threatens to unravel everything Lachlan and his fellow Kings have built. Yet the pull between them is impossible to ignore, even as it sparks a firestorm of desire and danger.

With enemies closing in and the line between truth and lies growing thinner by the second, Lachlan must choose: protect his secrets, or risk it all for the man who sees the humanity in his darkness.

MY REVIEW


Lachlan aka Savage, is Libertine's enforcer. When he's out on a mission, a gorgeous innocent lands himself right in the way, in danger. Alessio's telling him not to do it, but he can't help himself, he's a protector. So now he's got this journalist in his business, and he's starting to to fall for Cooper, loathe though he is to admit it.


All Cooper was doing was trying to investigate the drug that killed his friend, when he found himself being rescued by a masked vigilante. Then he finds himself with Lachlan, someone he can't seem to get enough of. The more time they spend together, the more he sees Lachlan opening up, relaxing around him, and letting him in. But when he's done with his story and Lachlan no longer needs to protect him, will their time together be over? Or can a journalist and a protector make it work?


What an introduction to the Kings! The Princes were awesome, but the Kings have age and much more experience on them, and it looks good. Though two of my favorite Princes, Zac & East make cameos, this series is shaping up to be even better, with more suspense and action, and I think even more steam. Lachlan and Cooper are a pair of opposites, but their emotional connection is solid from their first meeting, even though Lachlan was in a mask and his little Scout had no idea who he really was. I loved this intro, and am really excited to see whose story is next now. I really hope it's Alessio - I just know he's got a whole lot going on and needs to find the right man to be vulnerable to, and fall in love with.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
