Kim Karr has given us yet another delightful read with Would Be King! The story of Max and Gigi gives you all the feels and emotions you need in this cute, fun and sexy story. Max and Gigi are an absolute delight, their chemistry and banter is amazing. I love how their tale of love unfolded and I thought Kim Karr brought just that right amount of drama into the mix to make this a fantastic royal read!

ARC received for an honest review

It is always a good day when a new Kim Karr story turns up on your kindle.

And a story with a ginger Prince - hells yeah!

I didn't even read the blurb before diving into this book, as I knew that after reading Washed Up Royal, I would be reading the rest of this series.

This book has a bit of a Harry/Meghan feel about it. The prince. The American commoner.

I love their banter, the push/pull between them as they try to deny their attraction and feelings for each other.

This was such a cute read. I was drawn into the story right from the beginning, and I just couldn't stop reading it. I loved getting more of the couple from Washed Up Royal, adored seeing more of the guys and girls from the Vesta Isles families.

And I am really looking forward to the next books in this series.

Would Be King
By Kim Karr
4 stars
Reviewed on behalf of 3 Degrees of Fiction Book Blog

I love a good royal romance, I think it satisfies my want to be a princess when I was little and Would Be King was a great read! This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed her easy to read writing style. I really liked the characters, Gigi and Max! Gigi was a strong female lead, she was a great free spirit and I would love to be like her! Max had my heart from the beginning – he was everything I wanted him to be and more!
This story made me laugh so much at times; it really was a brilliant read. It may have been a little predictable at times but I didn’t care at all as I was completely swept up in their story and secretly I wanted to be Gigi!!
This is the second book in the series but I read it as a standalone however I absolutely want to read book 1 now! I loved all of the characters and want to read more about them!
Would Be King was a solid 4 star read that I highly recommend!

Max, Max, Max what am I going to do with you??? I know what I would like to do. Lol. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely look into reading more of this author's work.

Prince Max was released from his betrothed and friend Victoria and decided to sow some of his wild oats. As you will read he did A LOT of sowing. He has always had his life planned out for him, and in true rebel fashion decided it is not what he wants. Enter the beautiful vivacious Gigi. Gigi is a Texas girl who moved to NYC in hopes of making it in the fashion industry. All Gigi wants is to make it to work on her first day on time. As you can imagine things don't always go as planned.

Max finds Gigi refreshing and loves her sense of humor and how she is dedicated to just about everything in her life. Gigi is not sure what to think of Max, but knows that she feels a little unsettled by him. The dare to have her stand up to her boss and then come to find out he is her new boss was funny. Together they find what life has to offer. The love and friendship they have for one another is not only sweet but HOT as well.

I’m definitely addicted to this series now. I adored Max and Gigi. The Prince Harry comparison by Gigi in their initial meeting may have helped cement the perfect muse in my mind and add to my swooning over Max. The deeper into the series we get we see Max had so much more pressure than it initially seems. And as he falls harder for Gigi, so much more fighting against them. But I’m sure I’m not spoiling anything by saying they were able to find their HEA and it was absolutely perfect (including another nod to Prince Harry as muse). Loved it!
