Imagine:
Your chest overloads with butterflies while his strong hands press your arms over your head.
Breathing hard, you stare into the eyes of the brutally handsome Campus King as you recoil, floored from the most passionate kiss of your life.
His words to you? “Let’s just be friends.”
Um, excuse you?? Have you felt a pull so strong to be with someone that it actually…terrified you?
For me, … with someone that it actually…terrified you?
For me, that person is Grant Taylor: Campus King. He’s tall, handsome, and thoughtful. A pre-ordained baseball god headed for the majors and a big paycheck.
Our plan to be ‘just friends’ is going perfectly fine until one fateful summer night, when the King kisses me on a balcony like I’m his Juliet.
I never thought I could melt just from a man’s lips on mine.
I never knew a mysterious man like Grant would be the one I fall for.
The more we try to stay just friends, the more he haunts my dreams.
The more he haunts my dreams, the more I want to give into temptation.
One night…I finally do.
And it’s everything.
But a romance as hot as ours never comes without complications.
When I arrived to college, I thought I knew who I wanted to be.
I thought I knew what love was.
Turns out, I knew nothing before I met Grant Taylor.
I never knew you could fall in love with your best friend.
Life will never be the same again.
Because I should have known better than to kiss the King.Kiss King is a full length standalone. It is book 2 in the Forever You series of interconnected standalones

Wow….what can I say? The chemistry between Grant and Maya is off the charts!! What starts out as a friendship pact takes a 180° turn when the pair starts spending more time together to help Maya figure out her college future. The dynamic between the two makes for an exhilarating storyline. This book switches it up on it’s readers by giving us a raw in-depth look at the male perspective while falling for someone they are extremely close to. Grant and Maya go from best friends to even more as they explore their relationship and each other. Hands down recommend if you want a fantastic steamy college romance.
Loved this book! I had been patiently (ok, more like impatiently :)) waiting for Grant and Maya’s story since meeting them in Hate Mates. As usual, Mickey Miller did not disappoint. This is a wonderfully written slow burn, friends to lovers, coming of age, sports romance (really, what’s not to love?). The chemistry between Grant and Maya is incredible and the steam level of this book is off the charts (but also romantic). I absolutely loved Grant, the “Woodsmen Zenmaster.” He is so passionate, considerate and will do anything for Maya… so swoon worthy! Maya is an awesome heroine. She at times struggles with regaining her confidence and making important decisions regarding her future but comes out in the end stronger, in control of her life and with the guy :). This books proves that you can fall in love with your best friend. I highly recommend this book and series (and really anything by Mickey Miller). Can’t wait to see who is up next in the series!
Grant & Maya have a secret crush on each other but don’t want to risk there friendship to try anything as a couple. The back & forth between them until they finally give into there attraction makes this an amazing book. Once I started Kiss King I couldn’t put it down! The friendship they have makes there relationship so much better. The way they support each other and are there for each other makes some great relationship goals! I can’t wait to see whose story is next in this series!!
I really enjoyed Maya and Grant’s romance. The story line is easy to get pulled into and you quickly find yourself invested in this couple. I thought that both of these characters were well crafted and engaging. I loved the chemistry and sparks that they generated and I thought their banter was funny, sweet and clever. The story itself offers up plenty of emotional turmoil, tension, drama, humor and a pressure cooker full of attraction and desire that simmers along until you get an explosion of passion that is totally worth the wait. This is my independent, impartial review.
Grant has always had a theory – one kiss can tell you if the relationship has spark or it will be a dud. But when he finally gets to kiss Maya – the one girl he has had feelings for – he lies and says there is no spark. What he does not know is that Maya is lying too. Can you remain friends with the one person who owns your heart? Will telling her how you feel ruin the friendship that has become your lifeline? With wonderful characters Mickey Miller once again takes the reader on a journey they do not want to end. Grant was a lovable character in the first book in the series and I am so glad he got his own story. Cannot wait to see what happens to the rest of the characters in the next installments.
I absolutely loved this book. I highlighted more quotes and scenes in this book than I have ever before! This is a MUST READ!
Grant, the Zenmaster Shaman, and Maya, the girl everyone wants to be friends with, sucked me into their story right from the beginning. Their love story was based off a mutual attraction and a fantastic friendship that neither wanted to risk ruining. Once they decided to cross the line, it was on! This book was full of steamy banter, lots of sexy scenes as well as a huge amount of personal growth for both characters.
This is the second book in the Forever You series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I can’t wait for the next book!
A best friend to lovers romance that is sweet and entertaining from start to finish. I loved Grant and Maya, they were cute and likable. Their chemistry was so cute to follow with a college romance setting this will have you reminiscing your younger days filled with young love, carefree feelings and a love for life.
Super steamy friends to lovers. This book is a sports romance and it will pull you in from the very beginning. The characters are amazing and you will fall in love with them all. This is part of a series that can be read as a stand-alone but some characters are weaved in from other books in this series.
This is definitely a college romance with young love, feeling your oats and quick reactions. Grant and Maya are good friends, or should I say they’ve put themselves into the “friend-zone” with miscues and miscommunications. After a year of friendship and distance, Maya studying abroad, they are once again back to the close friend zone, but you can’t just stay ‘friends’ with the Kiss King can you? Maya and Grant have had a heated attraction from the beginning but when they take the next step can it survive? A few kisses can lead many different directions and when those are combined with what you really want to do in life…well it leads to an interesting and hot read.
Smoking hot story about two college students who are best friends and trying not to become more than that. Then when that doesn’t work they try to keep their relationship a secret from their friends. Great well written characters. HEA
You can never go wrong with a book by Mickey Miller, so when Kiss King hit my kindle, I was beyond excited. Grant and Maya have a great friendship and neither is willing to lose the other. But underneath that friendship there is also undeniable chemistry they cannot deny. Grant may be a star on campus and cocky, but he is also caring. Maya is smart, confident and very likable. They were really great characters who just needed to find their way to each other. Their story was not always an easy one, but it was one I loved going on. Another great read from this author.

Happy reading!
Wow…. This college baseball, best friends to lovers romance is a slow burn to scorching hot story! This is a wonderfully written book that will keep your attention throughout.
This friends to lovers book had so many ups and downs. Every woman wants a Grant in their life and every man wants a Maya. Maya will keep Grant on her toes and he will keep Maya well…..busy. These two get into trouble and the question is how they come through it….or if they come through it!
Kiss King was not exactly what I expected. I am glad Mickey went on a whole new level with this story. It was a slow burn book for myself. I love to gobble up all the words from the get go. I was not sure what direction the story would go, so I would read a few pages. Then come back to it later. I was trying to get into the rhythm of things between Maya and Grant. But once I was past that, the story really took off and bloomed into a very hot and special romance.
On to the good stuff – once you figure everything out I enjoyed to see the characters grow as a couple. They way they try the “new and uncharted territory” really put the heat into Kiss King. There are a lot of swoon worthy moments!
Maya and Grant were outstanding! I loved them. The friendship between these two is amazing. She’s conflicted about what to do with her life, follow her passion or please her parents? Grant has become her person for everything these days. He’s more than just a jock, he’s smart, he’s her confidant and the more time they spend together, they have both been suppressing their feelings for each other and when that line is crossed between them there is no going back. That attraction between these two is undeniable, they are sexy, steamy, intense and you will be sucked in by these two. Loved it and can’t for the next book.
One of the hottest books I’ve read in a while. I loved Maya and Grant’s friendship throughout this book. It really showed how much he cared for her by supporting her and helping her realize what she wanted. Really excellent book.
Looking for a fun and sexy friends to lovers read? Than look no further!
The whole concept of Grant and Maya’s was so different and I loved it. From Grant and his energy readings to Maya being a sex therapist’s daughter and go to sex talk friend.
I loved Grant from the beginning. How he was also so sweet and chill. For being the big man on the campus that everyone wanted to be with. He also had this different weird side to him that really drew me to him. But let me tell you how many times I was yelling at him lol.
Now with Maya, I really enjoyed that she was a no nonsense type of chick. But once you dig deep down, you get her vulnerable side that she doesn’t show. And yes I yelled at her as well haha.
4⃣.5⃣
recommendation
I almost threw my Kindle against the wall several times because I was so annoyed with Grant and Maya’s stupid agreement. Will these two get it together before it’s to late? Will they stay in the friend zone forever? Loved this book.
Goodness!
Kiss King is a slow burn sports romance (except for that white hot scene at the bar that was insanely sexy) where Maya and Grant do their best to stay just friends (other than talking so dirty I had to fan myself). But sometimes they prove it’s hard to do that when you have so much chemistry.
This is the sort of read that leaves you feeling good (amongst other things) and I highly recommend reading this only after you’ve cleared your schedule, because you won’t want to put it down!
Grant & Maya are absolutely fantabulous!
I can’t even fully express how much I love this one!!!
I knew I’d love Maya. After all, she’s the sex positive free spirit of the girls.
And Grant is her perfect match.
She is feeling a bit shakey in her confidence to start, but Maya finds herself as well as love.
Steamy, humorous, full of chemistry, wit, and feels.
Of course, since it’s the second Forever You book we have DJ & Alex, April, Luke, and others from the bookiverse.
I can’t wait for the next one!!
