Book one: King of My Scars (Book One of The Kingdom #1) by Abby North
Arianna’s struggle to escape her past abuse is gripping and telling. I’m glad the author didn’t make light of her past. Arianna’s connection with Denham King is electric and irresistible. It feels like they formed a connection almost immediately. While The chemistry between them sparks with danger and desire in every chapter. It sometimes feels as if they are moving too fast but I can say it feels real and genuine. While old enemies are resurfacing and long-hidden secrets are unraveling, the tension between these two never lets up. A perfect blend of spice, emotion, and high-stakes thrill. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I’m giving it 5 stars.

Book Two: King of My Fears by (Book Two of The Kingdom #2) Abby North
After consuming the first book in the series, King of My Scars by Abby North, my expectations for the second book were understandably high. I really enjoyed the continuation of Arianna and Denham’s story, but unfortunately, I was unable to maintain the level of tension from the first book as it progressed. There were a few times in this book when I was overjoyed, and a few times when I wanted to rip my heart out in sadness, but sadly, the story became lackluster and predictable. Abby’s smooth, to-read writing style king of my fears lacked what king of my scars had in that made it so special (to me). While this story is about love, I still feel a lot is missing. This book was a solid but disappointing read for me, so I’m giving it 3 stars.
