Cheeky King

Cheeky King

This is the follow on to Cheeky Royal, and it's fantastic. Whereas Cheeky Royal was more about the couple, Sebastian and Penelope, hiding who they truly were and falling for each other, Cheeky King is them trying to stay away from each other, Penelope is trying to do her job and protect the king, but Sebastian isn't making it easy, his hurt is evident, and he lashes out at every turn. But neither of them can resist their chemistry and the sexual tension. Add in the suspense and the whodunit feel and it makes for a truly addictive story. It still had laugh out loud moments and the grovelling was done to perfection. You'll note from my review of Cheeky Royal that I wanted a book for a certain couple, and now know why that won't be happening. I was both saddened and happy about it. I still vote for a Michael story.

Andi Arndt and Shane East perform this book and do a fabulous job. The issues I had with Cheeky Royal still existed, but I think I became accustomed to it as it didn't feel as noticeable or jarring. Which is always a bonus. Shane and Andi really do work so well together.
