A dare turns into so much more… closer,
I can feel the hard muscles beneath his expensive suit.
The kiss ends just as we reach our destination,
and I rush out without so much as a goodbye.
But fate, that bitch,
has us pounding on the same locked door.
Already knowing I’m going to be fired,
I curse my new boss and his new rules.
The hot suit laughs,
And dares me to tell my new boss what a dick he’s being.
With nothing to lose, I accept.
Never in a million years could I have imagined he is my new boss.
Dating him is against the rules.
His rules.
He doesn’t seem to care.
Turns out he’s more than a rulebreaker.
He’s royalty…and in danger.
When Prince Maximus Montgomery tells me we need to keep things quiet,
I taunt him with a dare of my own.
Unbeknownst to me, it’s a dare that could cost him his life.
Is it too late to take it back?
There’s a reason rules aren’t meant to be broken…
And finding that out is the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do in my life.

I always get excited when a Kim Karr book arrives on my kindle as she has never written a story I haven’t enjoyed and I Loved this one.
In my head as I read this i was picturing Prince Harry <3, I guess it had a bit of a Harry/Megan likeness to it. The Prince with the American.
Max and Gigi are the complete opposites but they do say opposites attract.
Max is off enjoying life now he is off the hook from marrying his best friend Victoria. In the eyes of the King and Queen he has been causing a bit of a media scandal and they are determined to get him to calm down abit. Not sure if sending him to New York was the best idea.
Gigi, oh i loved this girl. She is so excited about her new job in the Fashion Industry. Fighting with an arrogant stranger in a cab is not part of her plans, but she ended up falling for his dare?!?! She also never expected to find out he's her new boss! damn that no fraternization policy! Max has never been one for following the rules. He needs to keep his secret as long as he can. Not sure who long they will be able to resist each other.
I do love a good forbidden romance story and this one is a good one. Its filled with angst and some hot chemistry. The banter between Max and Gigi is completely entertaining. Kim has also given us some great twists and turns that you may not see coming.
I found this author when I read the first book in this series. I’ve since been binge reading her books.
Max and Gigi’s story rocked! Gigi is just a common girl who is looking for love. Max is a wild royal that needs to be tamed. But will Gigi be able to stick it out when she find out the truth about Max? Can Max find a way to be with a non royal?
I have loved this series. This author did a great job with the characters. I look forward to the next one in April!
All Max needed was for someone like Gigi to love him for himself and not his title. His player ways were a long lost past as far as he was concerned once Gigi came into his life.
As far as Gigi was concerned, the man named Max was it for her. Once they kissed, no other man would do. Their love affair starts at full speed and there is no way to stop them from falling in love.
But being a Royal, and having been betrothed to the biggest shrew in all the world, he must tread carefully. He has to convince his father he is not going to marry Princess Beatrice. His heart is set on Gigi and no matter what, he will have her by his side. Royal complications become so bad, Max must go to extremes to make sure Beatrice gets his message. No wedding with her.
Journey with Gigi and Max and their steamy courtship leads them into more complications. As Max disappears and everyone is wondering… is he back to his player ways?
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
Are you feeling bored and sad? Do you need something to lit up your day? Or do you simply need something to forget all your worries and just feel good? If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, I have a perfect medicine for you. And that is Would Be King by Kim Karr. If the word entertainment needs an example in dictionary, Would Be King would be right there. This book is really the complete package. Drama, humor, sexual tension, swoony love and a modern day fairy tale all wrapped in amazing writing. Do you really need any more reasons to one-click this beauty?
Gigi Gatsby is running to the first day of her not-yet-finalised job at a fashion magazine in heavy rain and a series of misfortunes end her up in a cab acquisition fight with a drop dead gorgeous and charming stranger. That ends up in a life altering kiss and the kiss ends up making her late. She was going to lose her job but soon she finds out that the stranger is her boss. And they have this sizzling chemistry flowing between them like electric charges. And an weekend spent consuming and getting to know each other only make it difficult to walk away from this divine connection. Well it can’t be that easy. Because Max Montgomery is actually a real life prince. Because they are boss and employee. Because the royal and commoner can’t mix. But love has a strange way of working out things. The story turns into a chaotic yet delicious mess only to have the most romantic and heartwarming ending ever!
Fairy tales are really the first romance books I loved. The author put a brilliant contemporary twist to the prince charming meets Cinderella story. And I was brought back to my sweetest fantasies. The Royal family drama and secrets were expertly written. Max is the proverbial charismatic and enigmatic prince all of us dream of. But he has this reckless bad boy part that made him even better. Gigi is a wonderful woman. She is funny, smart, intelligent and beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She doesn’t care about Max’s royal status. The story has the right amount of angst and heartbreak to complement the dreamy swoony parts. The plot has interesting twists and turns to engage me completely. After all no fairy tale is complete without evil obstacles.
Even grown ups need fairy tales in their lives. I was living the dreams with Max and Gigi. Kim Karr brought my childhood fantasies to life again with very sexy flavors. Read Would Be King and lose yourself in the royal adventure. This book is intense yet flirty. The chemistry is burning yet soft. A perfectly balanced romance to make you swoon, sigh and die for.
Received ARC for Honest Review.
Gigi Gatsby left Texas and headed for Manhattan with visions of a flourishing fashion career in her eyes. But once she arrives in the big city she realizes she has a long way to go to make her dream happen, everything is more expensive than she planned, and finding her dream job is taking longer than expected. When she gets a unexpected call telling her that they have a job for her, she is beyond excited to get started, but the morning of her first day she wakes up with a bad case of unfortunate luck. It’s down-pouring rain, which leaves her drenched from head to toe, she loses her wallet, and then she winds up having to share her cab with a sexy and stubborn man. One that pushes her buttons, makes her swoon, no matter how hard she tries to maintain her dislike towards him, and kisses like a professional.
The moment their lips lock she loses all self control, and can’t help but wonder if this is the start of her luck turning around. That is until she realizes they are headed to the same office building, and he just so happens to be her new boss! Surely this isn’t going to turn out well…
Would Be King brings readers front and center into the lives of Gigi and Prince Maximus Napoleon Montgomery, and boy do these two have an enthralling and OH SO sexy story to tell. This forbidden office romance tale does not disappoint, it’s pages are littered with humor, heart, and smoldering chemistry, it had me hooked in an instant. This likable pair rolled out the red carpet and welcomed right into their glamorous world and had me feeling right at home. They brought life to the pages, and supplied me with many laughs and swoons. If you are in the mood for a light-hearted, funny, and slightly sinful tale, then I highly recommend you pick this one up, what you find between it’s page is sure to leave you thoroughly satisfied!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
There are a few things I truly love to read about, and a good Royal story is one of them. Would be King by Kim Karr has to be at the top of my royal reading list and I highly recommend it. With a dirty talking Prince Harry look-a-like that needs to clean up his act this book has it all; naughty sex, drama, life-threatening action, backstabbing, and of course romance and LOVE. Would be King is a stand-alone book that is part of the Unknown Royals Series and is also a 5-karat crown jewel.
Gigi Gatsby got her first job in the fashion industry and she’s already running late. When a gorgeous ginger tries to jack her taxi cab, she never dreamed he would con her into a kiss or that he would end up being her new boss. With sparks flying between the two, Gigi and Max have a hard time keeping their minds on their jobs. Max has more on his plate besides launching his new fashion magazine; he’s falling in love with a commoner, he’s betrothed to another royal, he’s got a family secret that no one is supposed to no about, his step-mother is out to get him, and he just can’t seem to stay out of the tabloids. Will the relationship between Gigi and Max keep him on the straight and narrow or will it just keep him from his title of King?
