Wild King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kellen has been leaving a string of broken hearts and bad decisions in his wake for some time now to drown his grief and anger. Everywhere he goes, he has his pick of women, drinks, and anything he could possibly dream of, thanks to being a King. After his most recent battle with Matthias about the choices he keeps making and the risk he keeps putting on the family name, Kellen takes a quick three day getaway to the islands to unwind and find a new conquest to forget about the trouble back home.

Salem is on the last leg of her vacation, and what do you know but Kellen King shows up trying to sweep her off her feet. She doesn’t know he’s Kellen King because she decides that, if they spend time together tonight (or this weekend), a stipulation is that they must not tell one another their names, and suggests they only lie to each other to add freedom to the excitement of it all.

After what was intended as a one night stand turns into a long weekend, they stick to the clause of no names, and when they part ways they both assume they’ll never see one another again. Before Kellen knows it, he’s caused more trouble than ever and Matthias calls in a fixer as the only other option to not being ostracized from the family. Little do any of them know, Kellen’s fixer turns out to be Salem, his no-name fantasy woman from his getaway. In an effort to do everything EXCEPT start behaving better, he gives Salem a run for her money, but she is a professional and at some points, just tired of his BS tantrums. She isn’t afraid to put him in his place when the opportunity calls for it, and it finally causes him to concede defeat. Once Kellen actually decides to try talking to Salem, they begin to have interest beyond the physical and form a friendship – and then when they must work together to solve an issue, it adds another layer to their wonderful chemistry.

Another great read about the King brothers and a story that is hard to put down! You can feel the emotions behind the characters and the pull Kellen and Salem have towards one another. The frustration, the grief, the anger…it pours through the pages. Read book 1 to get the story pre Kellen, but a great standalone story, as well.
