Naughty King by Michelle A. Valentine
5.0
It doesn't happen often that I become consumed in a story from the very first page, but from the very start I was totally captivated in this book. I usually don't like serials but this book demolished my bias and caused me to be so addicted to these characters that I eagerly await the next book. In this first installment we are introduced to Alexander King who is an extremely handsome, successful, alpha man but can be a world class a$$, so is dubbed the Naughty King. He is trying to take over Dan Buchanan’s business and make millions by selling it off in parts. Dan negotiates that his daughter work for Alexander so they can find a way to save his company from Alexander. Dan's daughter, Margo Buchanan is beautiful, smart, and loyal but vicious when it comes to getting what she wants, hence her nickname, the Feisty Princess. She is a female version of Alexander. These two characters are so much alike, and use to getting what they want, that they challenge each other like no other. That both frustrates them and completely turns them on. Their banter is smart and sexy and that makes the sexual tension and chemistry between them explosive. I really liked them both even tho we don't get a lot of back story on them, yet, just bits and pieces through conversations with family and friends. I am eager to learn more about what makes them tick. They have a business meeting in Las Vegas over the weekend with Yamada, an old friend and business associate of Alexanders. What happens in Vegas might not stay in Vegas. Yamada is a hilarious but very observant and intuitive character. He loves his old friend but likes and is charmed by Margo, which causes much shenanigans. This book ends way too fast but in the most perfect cliffy way. This first part of the 'Sexy Manhattan Fairytale' series is smart and funny and so well rounded that you can't help but be spellbound by it. I can't wait to find out what happens next in part two, Feisty Princess!
