EMILEE
When I left Sin City behind me, I had no plans to return. I avoided everyone, even my friends, to stay in my bubble. I’ve always been the kind to pull away and run when things get difficult.
But one phone call changed everything, and I was racing back. If only I had known what was waiting for me.
Titan reappeared like a ghost haunting me.
One look and I knew he recognized me. I never forgot him or what we shared. Those feelings that no one else knew existed between us.
I ignored them back then, but now they are more intense than ever.
“Get on your knees…” He demanded I kneel for him.
I tried to act like he didn’t affect me, but he knew. He remembered the way I reacted when he would touch me. And just like he was taught to do—he used my weaknesses against me.
He staked his claim, and I became his queen to use how he saw fit.
What makes it worse is that I crave him, and when I kneeled, it was willingly.
But was it for nothing? (less)

I loved Titan and Emilee’s story. This was the first book in the dark King’s series it was a great start to a new series. We were introduced to the King’s in Code Of Silence and I have been excited to find out more about these characters. Titan didn’t disappoint. He was dark, dangerous, and sexy. A great story filled with steam, suspense, and hot AF alphas.
This is my first Shantel Tessier book and I am completely hooked. From the beginning this story grabs on to you and takes you on a crazy ride. Em and Titan really take you on a roller coaster of feelings. I am looking forward to more from this world and I am definitely going to check out more from Ms. Tessier. This is absolutely a must read!
This book literally was devoured and I was left wanting more.. So good and I loved reading Emilee and her King..
The perfect start to what I’m sure will be an epic series! Pretty sure my face never strayed from these expressions over and over again. I was not expecting half of what she gave us to happen. Truly shocked and it was hot as all heck! I’m even more excited for the other men’s stories!! Gah. I just can’t with this woman. I thoroughly enjoyed every single second of this amazing book. Sure things happened that I had no clue would go down, but why anyone would complain about it is beyond me. The massage room. Whew! I’m more than okay with that scene. Loved it. Read it. Can I please become a Queen?;)
5 DARK, DELICIOUS AND PERFECT STARS!! I freaking devoured this book and loved every word. Titan and Emilee were PERFECTION…I loved them both equally. Their story was DARK, BEAUTIFUL and touched my heart and soul. I will be dreaming of these two tonight. I can’t wait for the other guys stories. You must read the DARK KINGS.
Emilee’s world is crashing with no one around to help her. With her hands tied she is forced into blackmail. When she runs into old acquaintances she doesn’t know if she’s better off seeing them or running in the other direction.
Titan can’t believe he’s looking at Emilee. Old memories surface & he’s looking forward to playing with his new toy. What they don’t know is they are playing someone else’s game and in order to find out who’s pulling the strings they have to figure it out together.
Titan, his friends and Emilee have a past together. He struggles with his feelings because there’s another person involved. She’s afraid of the powerful man Titan has become, but more intrigued & sexually frustrated than anything. They push and pull with the hate they feel for each other. This book is dark and twisted with secrets that can’t stay buried. Loved the hot and dirty action throughout the book. It’s a great start to a new series and can’t wait for the next one.
WOW! I love this book. I was so captivated! Titan is one of the four kings that run Kingdom. He is hot, and rich. Emilee lives in Chicago and a heartbreaking event brings her back to her hometown in Las Vegas. This book had everything I love in a book. Hot alphas, rich alphas, mystery, angst, and romance. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! I’m so excited and can’t wait for Graves book.
Finally the Kings get there books. It started with Titan and Emilee, they known each other in high school and seen each other again after her father died and she came back to Las Vegas. I have to lie, if I say I liked titan very much in the beginning, all the Kings were pretty heartless and rude. Don’t get me started on George, the so called family friend, I so did not liked him, and what was that with the slapping in the face, not cool. I liked the last third the best. But the old saying is right, you don’t need enemies if you have family and hers were really horrible. The last part of the book was a bit of a surprise I don’t want to spoil, but I really felt bad for Em. All in all a good solid story with banged up heroin during the book.
Well damn I did not expect all this heat coming off the pages in the first book of the mysterious Kings!!! My goodness let me fan myself while I try to write what I just read. Titan was just wow and of course Bones but Emilee was a mess but a baddie all in one. They’re relationship was complicated and oh so steamy, emotional, enemies, lovers you name it and that’s what they were. What no one knew was that Titan always had a thing for Emilee. They have a reputation of not caring but Emilee was the exception especially after the things she was going thru. Titan showed that he will do anything for her; even his friends showed that. Emilee has a terrible card dealt to her and the deceit was just unbearable. She had no luck in anything until Titan put their differences aside and cake to her rescue. But there’s so much more to these group of friends and my goodness if book 1 was like this I can’t wait for the second book.
Holy freaking hotness!!! This book will melt your panties! We were introduced to the Kings in Code of Silence and given a little taste of what was to come. You are not prepared for how these kings are going to destroy you in the absolute best way!! Titan will blow your mind!! This book has it all: romance, suspense, angst, STEAM and those mind blowing dark twists that Shantel has perfected.
Titan and Emilee’s story is so well written. You will be sucked in after reading the first page in this story. Their story is a page turner with those perfect dark twists that leave you guessing what’s going to happen from page to page. We get a little taste of the other King’s and I can’t wait to read their stories. I’m especially excited to read Bones story and see how it all plays out! This is a must read for sure and these Dark Kings are about to own you in the best way!
The dark kings deserve nothing less..I love the crew and the blurb of the story itself is good..Chemistry is fire between this couple..Titan has that arrogance,possessive side and a very sweet protective side that only his lady love brings out..I’m waiting to read more about these kings..
I devoured Titan in one setting, that is how invested I was in this book. I just could not stop. I am a huge fan of Shantel, so I knew this was going to be good.
In Titan we follow the story of the four guys known as the Dark Kings which is Bones, Titan, Cross and Graves. Each one dangerous, each one gorgeous and each one deadly in their own right. Each one plays a part in their kingdom.
Titan revolves around Titan, aka Weston Mathews. He runs the Queens of the Kingdom, which is an exclusive place where if you need a Queen for a night, an event or anything you want. He never partakes, even though there is plenty of offers. He has only ever wanted one woman.
Enter that woman, Emilee. She is back in Vegas because her mom has cancer, and she has just learned her father has died. Little did she know that her life is about to change in an even worse way than she was expecting. Deception, lies, heartbreak, and denial is her new norm. That is just the beginning, especially when she reconnects with Titan. The question is will he help her or will she have to help herself.
I got so immersed in the world of the kings, I really did not want to leave. With plenty of sexy scenes, a great lineup of side characters, and a good plot that had me guessing, Titan was an addictive read. I would definitely recommend this read.
I was so excited to read this book since Code of Silence. I loved the relationship between Emilee and Titan. It was great to see them interact with each other. The tension between them was amazing and also loved to see the friendships between Hazel, Jasmine and Emilee. Also hated how some of the minor characters (can’t say names) treated Emiliee at times.
Titan is book 1 in “Dark Kings” series by Shantel Tessier.
This book had me lost in the rhythm of the flow, chemistry ,heat and intensity of everything. Titan and Emilee are the story and their chemistry set the pages ablaze! Titan is a man who you won’t forget. He’s raw, powerful, ruthless, and Alpha!! He’s a man you don’t cross. Emilee is a sweetheart with a bit of a battered shell who is at her lowest point in life. She left Sin City in a hurry but is now back and that one man who she thought she escaped now is ready to collect his due and wants his plus interest. Titan and Emilee have a tangled past. There’s a gritty, raw, intense and sizzling connection between them. The feels is more intense, the journey is beautiful and I was so excited to read this book. I also enjoyed the secondary characters in this book because you can see characters for future books. Overall, fantastic read!
My Rating: 4.8 stars *********
My oh my. This book. I just…damn. We receive our first glimpse of the Dark Kings in Code of Silence. Based on their description in COS, you knew they were about to be dark, deadly, dominant and hotter than sin. I have to say…I was not disappointed. The Kings are so hot that I think my ovaries exploded during most of this book. Like, I wasn’t ready for all of that, but damn if I didn’t enjoy the ride.
The highly anticipated Dark King Series starts off focusing on Titan and Emilee who have somewhat of a history together. Titan is told from dual POVs which provides a complete and thorough storyline that could only be accomplish with this type of narrative. The twists and turns, definitely caught me by surprise, and the steamy scenes, wow oh wow, I just loved everything about this book. It’s always satisfying when we see the King, or in this case, a King, brought to his knees. I cannot wait to read Grave’s story next.
If you enjoy dark and dirty romances, then this book is for you! It will not disappoint.
Wow! Shantel Tessier has given us a dark, twisted, gritty tale of revenge and redemption and the lengths a person will go to for the people they love. Titan and Emilee were perfect. This world has completely sucked me in and I need to know more about the other characters. Read this book right now.
So let me start off by saying that this book was so not what I expected. I enjoyed it so much and I was totally on the edge of my bed wanting more.
Titan was someone who I just loved so much!!!! He had this vide on him that just kept making you want more and more. Emilee was another story, I felt like she was always so confused and lost. I wish she would had been a bit more confident. Don’t get me wrong, the chemistry between Titan and Emilee was the best but I didn’t feel like Emilee knew what her feelings were.
Overall, Titan makes this book amazing!!!! Like I said, I LOVE HIM!!!
Titan is the first book in the highly anticipated Dark Kings series by Shantel Tessier. When I first heard about it, I knew that I HAD TO HAVE IT. Everything that Shantel writes is like kindle crack to me, and I just can’t get enough. Her books are dark and thrilling, angsty and suspenseful, completely addicting and steamy as hell. And Titan was no different. It’s a dangerously dark and delicious tale that will have your heart racing while keeping you on the edge of your seat.
From the very start, this book blew me away. I absolutely loved it! Titan and Emilee had crazy hot chemistry and intense push and pull. I loved the whole Dark Kings crew. Especially Titan who was intense and unapologetic with his take no prisoner’s attitude. But I also loved his sweet and protective side for the strong and sassy Emilee. And the sex scenes? OH MY GAWD! SO DAMN HOT!
All in all, Titan is a fantastic read that more than checked off all the marks for me. If you’re into dark and suspense filled stories with a lot of twists & turns, nail biting angst and heaps of heat, then this book is for you. I simply cannot recommend it enough. I loved each and every single second of it from the beginning to the end. Five stars and so many more for Titan, Emilee and the Dark Kings!
Such a great book absolutely loved it
Titan is the first book in the Dark Kings series. The story had a lot going on and was fast paced, and unpredictable. There was violence, bloodshed, mystery, suspense, and hott scorching scenes. The characters were all complex and will grab your attention. I loved Titan. He was powerful and commanding and the ultimate alpha male. I will admit Emilee annoyed me a bit throughout the story with some of the decisions she made. The secondary characters play a major role throughout the novel and I can’t wait to read their story, especially Bones. Unfortunately I felt that some of the steamy scenes were forced as I didn’t really feel the connection between the main couple. Overall I did enjoy the story. The suspense had me riveted and the twists and turns left me shocked. Although listed as a dark romance I would say its more on the lighter side and I would recommend it to all lovers of romantic suspense.
