A TRUE KING by SE Rose is now available! This is the fourth book in the Poisoned Pawns series, and if you enjoy royal romances with suspense, you NEED to read A True King.
This is typically where I would recap the book, or at least the first chapter, and fill you in on what to expect. I'm struggling though as for how to recap this story because there is just so much that happened. First things first, while A True King can be read as a standalone, I really think that you should start from the beginning with A Fierce Princess. It will give you the history that I truly think is needed to fully appreciate the storyline. Moving on. There is a secret organization called The 44 that has been wreaking havoc for the royal family. So much so that all staff had to go through additional background checks due to a recent threat. One of those people who had to be cleared was Mia Edgewater who is Prince Christian's assistant (and partner). Mia understands, and she goes to her parent's home for a mini vacation. That is until her plans change, and she disappears. Christian is a wreck, and will do anything to find her. Especially since he knows this is the woman he wants to marry, despite the archaic rules that say he has to marry another royal. But there's a secret that Mia may or may not know about her family history. With Princess Susanna's (Anna) "researching ability", Christian now knows just about everything. He just needs to find her to talk. But is her lineage the only secret being hidden, or is there more to discover?
Oh my gosh, this story. THIS STORY! I can't. From the vary beginning I was sucked in. I could not put my kindle down, and I am not complaining one bit. I absolutely loved just about everything. From the way that Christian and Mia's relationship started, to Mia's disappearance, to the secrets being revealed, to the reunion, to all of the action that happened. Just so good. There was a point while reading, that I found myself wondering who was behind it all, and why. Then there was a scene at the castle that sent my mind in overdrive. My jaw literally dropped, and I know I had this look going:
You see things were starting to make sense, I was noticing things here and there, and at that point there was no turning back. There was no setting my kindle down. I was not going anywhere until I had my answers. I was not fully prepared for everything that happened next. Everything that happened just had me on the edge of my seat, and I was waiting to find out how it was going to conclude. And oh how the suspenseful storyline wrapped up, was good. It was what I was expecting, but none the less, it was good. What happened next though, that was a little underwhelming for me. One moment we were having a reunion, and the next we were in the epilogue. I wanted something more to happen between those scenes. Part of me wanted something with Mia's family. Part of me wanted to see the royal family come together in one location. I wanted the build up to everything that happened in the epilogue. Basically I'm greedy, and wanted a tiny bit more. I can't help it. It's how I am with a story that has me so invested.
From the setting, to the characters, to the storyline, I loved it all. I highly suggest that you read A True King. It is full of action, suspense, love, and steam. Not only that but it's a quick and easy read too. If you are a royal romance reader, then please go one click this book. Heck go one click the entire series. You won't regret it. I think you'll really fall for this royal family.
Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on A True King. I highly recommend this book, and hope that you'll give it a read.

A FUTURE KING.
A FORBIDDEN ROMANCE.
A CENTURY-OLD SECRET.
WHAT A ROYAL FAMILY IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT MAY DESTROY THEIR MONARCHY AND EVERYONE THAT STANDS IN THE WAY.
The royal staff are off-limits. It was a simple rule, but when Mia Edgewater walked into Prince Christian’s office to interview for a position as his assistant, that rule was all but forgotten. The two fell madly in love until the palace sent away all the staff following a security breach. Angry, but resigned to follow palace orders, Mia left.
That was two long weeks ago. Mia hasn’t responded to a single text or call. Prince Christian decides to take matters into his own hands and show up at Mia’s family home. He’s determined to talk her into giving him second chance. Only when he does, she isn’t there.
As Prince Christian starts to look for Mia, he doesn’t know he’s about to find a threat greater than any his family has faced. He’s about to unravel a mystery so dark, so insidious that he may soon question who he can trust. And at the heart of this secret, is Mia.
Can he find her before it's too late? Can he even trust her when he does? Or will a hidden enemy kill his one true love and his chance at becoming king?
