I’ve got one mission.
To have the man that fathered me, King Me as his.
I deserve the billions as much as my legitimate brothers do.
But I’m thrown off that pursuit by a pint-sized woman who saves lives as a career.

We are too different.
Yet, she’s a beautiful distraction I can't seem to give up.
I’ve made the mistake of falling in love before.
I won’t do it again.
When I’m forced to choose between becoming a King and saving her life—
The choice is simple
Review by Jen Skewes
I wals so excited to read King Me. Another book about one of the sexy King Men? I am in. And Ms. Laine did not disappoint. I was hooked from the very first page. It was a fast paced, sexy read with chemistry between the two main characters that it was dripping of the pages. And I loved how the other characters from this series were so flawlessly woven into to Liam and Natalie's.
Liam is going to New York to confront the man whose DNA he shares. He has never met his father and from what he knows of him he is a real douche. But Liam knows that he is dying and wants to go meet the man and get what his mother deserves from him. Somehow he ends up driving his brother and his sister-in-law to the hospital because she is in labor and then meets the same woman he met on his way to NY at a rest stop. Seems like these two were meant to meet.
Natalie has just arrived in New York to help out at one of the hospitals there. She is a traveling nurse and her job has taken her to New York. It's her first day in the big city and things have already gone from good to bad. But then she meets Liam and he takes her day a little better by offering for her to stay with him. She just met him but it's either that on live on the streets until she finds a place to stay.
Let me just say that the chemistry between Natalie and Liam was off the charts. From the mount they met there was this undeniable connection, an not just physically. These two just met and yet there is no awkwardness between them.
Liam is out to prove that he is his father's son, while Natalie is working and doing what she needs to do to help her mother. They both have a past where their fathers are concerned. They both feel the connection. The sexual tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife. But Liam has reservations about being more than just friends while Natalie is trying understand what is actually going on in Liam's head. Doesn't he feel what she does? She thinks he does but his actions and words tell a different story.
I loved this book and am patiently waiting for the second book. I honestly did not realize that this was a duet, until I got to about 90% and realized that this story was not close to ending. hoops. lol. But that is just fine by me because it means more of Liam and Natalie. I loved how Kaeln and Connor all fit into this story so seamlessly as well as their wives. There is more to the story then just Liam and Natalie. There is suspense and drama. Wanting to know more about Natalie's family situation while waiting on pins and needles to find out the truth about Liams paternity. Liam, while I absolutely loved him, drove me nuts. He frustrated me to no end. I understood his reservations but boy his actions killed me. I am rooting for these two . And that cliffhanger!!!! Thank God I don't have to wait too long.

EXCERPT
“Are we really going to do this?” I asked.
He folded his arms and leaned on the wall to mirror me. “Do what?”
“Go on a double date?”
“Why not?”
I opened and closed my mouth like a fish because I couldn’t think of what to say for a second. “I don’t know. Like wouldn’t it be weird?”
“We’re friends, right?”
I nodded.
“Then I’ll be your wingman and you can be mine.”
I eyed him like he was crazy. “I bet you don’t even know that nurse’s name.”
“As my wingman, you can find out.”
I gaped, which I was doing a lot of. “And what else would you like me to find out? Like, if she wants to marry you and have your babies?”
He pointed at me. “Exactly. That would mean I should stay far away from that craziness.”
I giggled as I spoke. “I can’t believe you’re serious.”
“I told you I was no prince.”
“That’s what this is really about, isn’t it? You want me to think you’re an asshole?”
“No. I could do the same for you. While we’re out, I’ll let you know if he wants to marry you and have you be the mother of his babies.”
I let my hands fall to my sides, exasperated. “And that’s a bad thing?”
“Not for you. That’s a good thing. Like if you told me that nurse just wanted to bang me, that would be a green light for me. Whereas, if I told you the love doctor just wanted to bang you, that would be a red flag.”
I pressed fingers to my temple. “I hate to admit there is some logic in what you said.”
He flashed me a smile with that dimple on full force. “It will be fun.”
“I think you’re crazy.”
“And you love it,” he said.
I hesitated to speak because I didn’t want to think about the word ‘love’ as I fell harder for this man.
