She stole a suitcase full of cash—and secrets—from a king of the Las Vegas underworld.
Then she stole his heart.
It was too tempting to pass up.
A suitcase full of cash. A new identity already burning a hole in my wallet.
So I did it. I took the money and ran.
I had no idea the money belonged to a king of the Las Vegas underworld.
And I definitely wasn’t prepared for what he would do to … underworld.
And I definitely wasn’t prepared for what he would do to get it back.
***
I knew I shouldn’t have let a drug addict ex-grunt pick up that suitcase, even if he was my best friend.
I should never have agreed to be the one to get the suitcase back.
Then I wouldn’t have met Izzy Lake and fallen for her bad fake accent, her beauty, and her raw vulnerability.
If I don’t get that suitcase back in eight days, I’ll be spending the rest of my life behind bars.
I need that suitcase. But I need her more.

The suspense!! I was on the edge of my seat.
Izzy is a certified BA!! I admire her strength to take what she wants. You want a better life? Make it happen. Mr. Icy blues My Oh My I want to sink my teeth into those buns. Izzy is on the run and King has to catch her. These two give me a Mr. And Mrs. Smith Vibes. Both fighters to the core. Will Cupid Strike? Will Mr. Sexy Pants do the unthinkable? Will I bite all my nails off? Strap up, It’s go time!!
I just can’t get the words together for this review. From page on I was sucked in. Starting in an interrogation room is one way to suck anyone in that’s for sure.
Izzy Lake first time prostitute ends up unlucky or could that be lucky after her first client. Leaving behind Vegas and a change of name ensures that Kingston “king” Jameson enters the picture. Once a military man now possibly a hit man follows Izzy what could possibly go wrong.? Love, always love but in the end is it worth it?
4 hours it took me to read this book it was that good and like a black hole sucked me in and didn’t want to let me go.
King started with a bang, and the curveballs never stopped coming. Izzy’s inauspicious career in a Nevada brothel was thankfully over before it ever really began, and I couldn’t believe the intense ride that would be started in that seedy little building. Cassia Leo took us all for quite a ride in King, and I was obsessed with it. The suspense in King was the highlight for me, but I also loved the development of King and Izzy’s relationship.
I was guilty of prejudging Izzy based on her life choices in the first chapter, but she quickly proved my assumptions wrong. She was bold and brave, and more than capable of taking care of herself in ways I’m not sure I’d be able to. I was perpetually blown away by how thoroughly Izzy had planned her new life and the lengths she’d gone to in order to ensure her safety. And the more I got to know about her past, the more impressive the person she became.
I wanted to hate King, simply because of the reason he was in Izzy’s life, but it was impossible. He immediately exhibited the kind of person he was. He was considerate and protective, loyal and loving, but stuck in a horrific situation. As he navigated the tricky position he’d found himself in; King only revealed himself to be even better than I already thought he was. King won me over far before Izzy did, and I loved them together.
The intrigue factor in King was high. The players were exceedingly powerful, and the fight Izzy was facing was made all the more severe because she had no idea what she was up against. As the threads of what was going on with the suitcase and what was contained within were unraveled, I was repeatedly knocked breathless. Ms. Leo writes incredible suspense, and I can’t help but want more of that genre from her.
King will be available on February 26th 2019!
Epic Suspense romance not to be missed!
I was in a book slump but Cassia came to the rescue with this epic book!
I could not put it down. This is a great one to sink your teeth into if you’re looking for a total package kind of book. It had everything I needed.
Superb characterization
Great plot
Great chemistry
Great suspense
Izzy had it rough her entire life and that what made her such a strong female character. She is intelligent, strong, independent, and girl crush worthy. She stole something from the wrong crowd. She decided to leave everything behind and started a new life as charming country girl Jolene. King was hired to take her out. He disguised himself as Izzy’s new neighbor Colton.
Following Izzy and King’s story told in past-present was so interesting and intriguing. I simply enjoyed everything starting right from the interogation room, the missing Izzy opening, the swoony romance, the climax until it reached the perfect ending. Cassia’s writing style is so smooth making you wanting more and more.
“I smile as I realize this is the girl I’ve been waiting for my entire life. A girl with the guts to singlehandedly steal $1.4 million from a criminal organization and abandon her whole life in the blink of an eye. This girl who can build a dozen boobytraps and learn to scuba dive in a couple weeks, but couldn’t fake a country accent if her life depended on it.
She’s a goddamn wizard, through and through. More than that, she’s my queen.” – King
This is a must read!
