Heartless King

Kings of Rittenhouse, Book 5

By: Maya Hughes

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell

Two blue lines. That means not pregnant, right? Right? Oh, sh*t.

Five years ago, Colm Frost asked me to marry him, and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn’t broken and made me believe it. He made me feel it.

Now, he’s the hot, angry hockey player on the mend.

I’m the physiotherapist who’s supposed to get him back on his feet.

I don’t think our night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t dreamt of him every time I close my eyes. I woke up beside him with my body still singing from the way he fanned the flames of my desire, but I couldn’t stay.

His lips on my neck. His hands wrapped around my waist. His impressive...ahem, touch leaving me breathless.

One moment of wild inhibition, and it’s come back to bite me in the butt. Kind of like he did that night.

But a baby? Our night was supposed to be a one-time thing, closing a door on the future I couldn’t handle. Will this new bump in the road be everything we needed to find our forever?

Heartless King is a stand-alone friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, accidental pregnancy romance that brings all the laugh-out-loud, angsty feels!

Read it, listened to it, loved it

Loved every second of this series. Bummed that it’s all over but happy to see every King got their happily ever after 😍 Narration was perfect!!

Awesome!!

I loved this book when I read it and love the audio just as much! These two narrators did an INCREDIBLE job (actually yawning where indicated, etc.).

A Major Case Of The Feels

There is so much emotion that flows through Colm and Imogen's story and I'm not just talking about romantic emotion, so try to prepare yourself for a book that will give you a major case of "The Feels". I think one of the things I enjoyed most about these two was that they each had some work to do on themselves before they were ready for that HEA. Theirs is a journey of self-discovery and love. I thought the dual narration was spot on and beautifully performed takes everything to the next level. An all around excellent romance in an excellent series.

Maya Hughes brings her Kings of Rittenhouse series to an end with Colm's story. I have been looking forward to his book ever since I read the series prequel.

Life hasn't been easy for Colm. He took care of his sister after their parents passed away and he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. An injury brings a woman from his past back into his life. After one night together an unexpected pregnancy links them together and makes their future uncertain.

I found myself almost speed reading through this book because I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The writing and storytelling only got stronger as the series progressed. That paired with how much I loved Colm has made this my favorite Kings book.

With the dual POV, I love that there are two narrators. They did a great job with the characters and story and were easy to listen to.

This could be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the books in order so you can get to know the entire crew. Especially as you get to see appearances by them here.

Imogen and Colm

This was the perfect ending to a great series. Two broken souls finding their way. It was an in-depth look into their struggle s. I've enjoyed every book of Maya Huges. I'm sad this series has ended.
