My heart fluttered during certain scenes. And I am not going to lie, this hero straight made me swoon. I couldn't imagine being in his shoes, and so his behaviors and actions make him a more sympathetic character. He was grumpy and gruff, but once readers learn of all that weighs on his shoulders and his impending future, it is clear why he is so abrasive at times. Prince Elias really wasn't really what I expected him to be. It was regal with a dash of forbidden and sweet with moments of stolen seduction. The Sinful King was everything and nothing like what I expected it to be.

“You don’t curtsy to me,” he said into my ear. I loved this one and I hope Claire writes more from this world! I definitely want more of these royals. The Sinful King is an addictive read that's full of love, passion, angst, and steam. It was beautifully written and I loved the characters and the prose. I just wasn't sure how it would all work out. They had such a profound connection and the most intense chemistry, I needed them to be together. I was so anxious to see how everything would turn out. The fact that Elias is royalty and Addie is a commoner being the main one. This couple had so many obstacles to overcome. There is a lot of pressure on him and the only thing that makes him feel calm and alive is Addie. His father, the King, is sick and Elias is the heir. There is a lot going on in Elias life as well.

Fast forward years later and Adeline is getting away after a scandal when Prince Elias comes back into her life. The prologue of this book threw me for a loop and I couldn't wait to find out more about these two. The Sinful King is one of the best royal romances I've read recently! It was the perfect stand-alone romance and I devoured it.Īdeline and Prince Elias meet in an unconventional way. “You don’t have to be a king to change history.” I may be doing everything in my power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France.

I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task. No reason at all to even think he was there.

This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery.Įvery summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water.Įach of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school.
