Kingdom Come by Aleatha Romig {a review}

Today is the day that Kingdom Come by Aleatha Romig is available! Kingdom Come is Aleatha's addition to the, multi-author, Underworld Kings series. A multi-author series of standalone books filled with mafia families waging war, danger and violence, arranged and forced marriages, angst, love, and everything in-between.

In Kingdom Come we meet Greyson and Cecilia. Greyson is currently looking for a new place to land as his life in Louisiana has disintegrated. For his safety he cannot return, and he had to change his name. Kyle is gone, and he is now Greyson. Upon arriving in New York, Greyson met with the Dellinger family to let them know why he was in town, and seeing if there was anything he could help the family with. It was at this meeting that Greyson first "met" Cecilia. Fast forward a bit, and Greyson is now on the west coast. It is there that another mafia family taps Greyson for a job. Turns out Cecilia has been abducted, and is being auctioned off. This family wants Greyson to do some research, and report back. Yet when Greyson watches that video, he immediately knows he has to rescue her. Everything that happens next will have you wondering who is behind the abduction, what their motive was, and you may also be intrigued by the slow burn romance that is beginning to form. Can these two be together or are they destined to fall apart?

So, I can't lie. Kingdom Come took me a bit to get into. I wasn't familiar with Greyson (I've since learned we learn more about him in the Devil Duet where he is a side character), so I didn't understand what he was running from. That being said, once things began escalating, I couldn't put the book down. There was so much that happened with the characters. From Cecilia's abduction, to her subsequent rescue, to the chase that ensued, to how that entire storyline played out, I was enthralled. In the back of my mind I was trying to figure out who was behind it all, and right when I thought I had it figured out, I was proven wrong. I am glad I was wrong though. And that ending? So good. It gave me everything I wanted.

Now if you're looking for a quick read, this isn't it. This book takes time to build and develop. It does pick up, so don't worry about that. Just expect to take your time diving into this world, and take it all in. It's one heck of a story, and it has me wanting to read more from Aleatha.

If you're a fan of mafia romances, then go grab Kingdom Come (as well as the other books in the Underworld Kings collection). Go see what happens between Greyson and Cecilia, and find out who is behind it all.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,
Laura

They say the price of freedom is learning that you have nothing left to lose.

There was a time when I had it all. Money. Power. Love. And in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Along the road to my new life, I have a chance meeting with Cecilia Abernathy. Born to greatness, this American princess is out of my league. That doesn’t mean I don’t see her for the woman she is behind the headlines. In a rare glimpse I see not only her outward beauty but her inner determination. I’m moved by her in ways I don’t allow myself to ponder.

Time passes and I’m moving forward, persevering beyond my loss, and making a new name for myself. And then I’m given an assignment.

One job.

One quest.

If I succeed, my kingdom will be at hand.

If I fail, there will be no more chances.

Men like me aren’t saviors, and that isn’t my assignment. My mission is to find the daughter of one of the most powerful men in New York, in the country, and maybe the world. Find her and deliver her to her family’s rival.

Cecilia Abernathy has been kidnapped. All I have to do is exchange her current hell for another. And then I can walk away and claim my reward.

Has my taste of freedom made me willing to sell my soul for a kingdom?

Excerpt

The ceiling was silent, telling me that Cecilia was probably in bed. I envisioned her the way she looked when she came out of the bathroom wearing nothing more than a towel, her long hair wet and tangled. At first my gaze had gone to her lower arms and lower legs. It wasn’t because I wanted to see her injuries.

I didn’t.

My attention went to those areas because in that moment and time she was allowing me to see them.

I couldn’t explain that sensation; it was as if she trusted me with her pain.

Cecilia didn’t know me. She didn’t know that I wasn’t a trustworthy man. If I had been, my life would be different. I wouldn’t be traveling the world alone as a gun-for-hire or a mercenary. I wouldn’t have the Dellinger princess sleeping in the middle of nowhere and the mob boss of San Diego most likely on my trail.

As she stood in that bathroom doorway, I quickly refocused on her.

Her.

That one word had an all-inclusive meaning.

The all of her.

I wasn’t fixated on the towel or what it hid. I was obsessed with her—the entirety. Her fucking doe-like eyes resonated into my soul, brimming with emotion, dark and deep. If I stared long enough, I’d be sucked into their gravitational force, into a black hole.

I couldn’t let that happen.

One day I’d be delivering Cecilia to one coast or the other.

That eventual decision wasn’t debatable.

Getting close to her—emotionally or in any other way—wasn’t part of the plan and would only complicate matters.
