Editoral Review
Naughty King by Michelle A. Valentine is a steamy romance novel that was first published on March 14, 2015.
The author is a USA Today bestselling author who is known for her erotic and romantic fiction works. This book falls under the contemporary romance genre, and it is part of the bestselling Royals series.
The novel is centered around Alexander King, the playboy prince of the Kingdom of Belmonte. He is a man that has everything he needs, including women at his beck and call, but he is lost, unhappy, and unfulfilled.
After meeting beautiful and independent Olivia Monroe, he becomes obsessed with her, and she finds herself being drawn to him despite her better judgment. They both embark on a journey of sexual discovery and love, but Alex’s royal obligations, secrets, and Olivia’s past threaten to tear them apart.
Valentine’s writing style is simple, straightforward, and easy to read, which makes Naughty King a perfect weekend read. The author also seamlessly blends romance and suspense, keeping readers engaged from start to finish.
The book has themes of love, loyalty, trust, and sacrifice. One of the strengths of the book is the character development.
Alexander and Olivia are well-crafted, multi-dimensional characters that are easy to relate to despite their royal status. The author takes time to flesh out their personalities, histories, and motivations.
Alex, especially, has a notable character arc, where he transforms from a womanizer to a man willing to make great sacrifices for love. The pacing of the novel is also well-done, with a perfect balance of tension, drama, and romance.
The plot structure is relatively predictable, but the twists and turns prevent the book from being boring or monotonous. However, the book also has its weaknesses.
Some of the secondary characters are a bit underdeveloped, and their actions and motives are not explored thoroughly, making their impact on the story seem superficial. Additionally, some of the sex scenes are a bit formulaic and repetitive.
Overall, Naughty King is an excellent addition to the contemporary romance genre, and it is highly recommended for fans of the genre. It speaks to contemporary issues regarding love, relationships, and social class.
Michelle A. Valentine’s writing is approachable, and her characters are engaging, making the book a worthwhile read.
I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars for its strong character development, clever plot structure, and seamless blending of romance and suspense.
