Resumen del Editor

Nothing is fair in war. Jonathan King is every bit his last name.

Powerful. Untouchable. Corrupted. He’s also my dead sister’s husband and way older than me.

When I first met him as a clueless child, I thought he was a god. Now, I have to confront that god to protect my business from his ruthless grip. Little did I know that declaring a war on the king will cost me everything. When Jonathan covets something, he doesn’t only win, he conquers. Now, he has his sights on me. He wants to consume not only my body, but also my heart and my soul. I fight, but there’s no escaping the king in his kingdom.

Reign of a King is the first book of a duet and is not stand-alone.

So much potential but no storyline

This entire story could have been told in just a few chapters—it was a boy meets girl and that’s it story. There was no actual external plot or rise and fall or hiccup or anything of that sort. It only alluded to the one main issue with her father which doesn’t even get addressed in this story. It was a constant repeat of this same exact problem being mentioned over and over and except for one line in the last chapter-even that doesn’t get to involved—there really was no plot at all. And the “duet” should have been one book. It’s a shame because the entire series is amazing—it just feel forced that this was split into 2 books so unnecessarily. Plus a Majority of the sexual experiences were glossed over with several “it went on for 2 weeks like that” type lines.

Amazing

I absolutely loved listening to Reign of a King!! I loved every single moment of this story.

Highly Addictive & Entertaining!

Evil or misunderstood? Jonathan King is the kind of character we all love to hate. We have been teased mercilessly throughout the Royal Elite series and now we finally get to see the man behind the mask. It’s dark and deliciously twisted and jam packed full of secrets and lies. This installment of Jonathan and Aurora’s story has so many unanswered questions. The cliffhanger ending left me screaming for more.

Another successful collaboration between Rina Kent, Shane East and Keira Stevens. Shane and Keira’s amazing voices makes each one of Rina’s wonderful characters resonate, taking this story to a whole other level.

Audio is Fabulous!

I Give this Book a 4-4.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 5.

Review Updated (Dec. 2020) at Bottom! 😃

I need to express that I have been in an absolutely painful bookfunk, I couldn’t connect with anything so I was primarily rereading old books and forced myself to concentrate.
As soon as I saw that this Book was sent to my Kindle I breathed a sigh of relief, I knew it was my cure and matter of fact it was! I paused the book I was currently reading just to jump into this one.
I did not put this one down for a second! I was hooked from the very first page, I love how this book just flowed and I never had the urge to pull out of this book world just to take a breather, there’s a lot of breathing space to not feel overwhelmed, the suspense is (for me) insanely and is keeping me on my toes, I love Rina’s puzzles and I look forward to seeing them all come together!

Zero Spoilers.
Cliffhanger: Yes! And a Good one at that! I can wait to read the Next Book!
Pacing: it’s Mid to Mid Fast to Fast, the all the types of Pacing weirdly fit well within the book right where it needs to be.
Suspense: 5/5, Through the Roof with Suspense!
There’s so much I want to say right here but I Don’t like Giving away Spoilers when it’s a great book!
Drama: 4-4.5-5/5, it fits well I think when you read the book 😆
Relationship Type: MF
Heat: 4-4.5-5/5, there’s quite a bit of heated scene but also quite a bit of past tense heated scenes.
Which normally I don’t like cause I like to read the scenes, but it really fits this book and I love knowing there’s lots of heat going on.
Romance: 3.5-4/5, I want to add the 4 so I’m gonna add the 4. Jonathan & Aurora fit extremely well together, and there’s so many questions I hope get answered!
This book is sooooo good! And its better (at least for me) than I was anticipating, I really need to see what’s gonna happen in the conclusion!
I’m highly anticipating Book 2!
Dark(?): 3/5


Update: Dec. 2020
Audiobook Review:
Overall: 5/5!
Performance & Quality: 5/5!!
Seriously! This book is read best as an Audiobook 😍 it was great to sit back and jump back into this duet & listen this one, sometimes some books are ‘read’ even better when you’re hearing it 😆
Love this one! Keira Stevens & Shane East did an excellent job in this one!
It is so good(!!) and everything was easier to picture, that I’m raising the ‘Listing as’ Star Rating from 4 to 5.
Gonna jump and Listen to the Next Book! ☺️

Amazing and intriguing

I love the character of Jonathan King. He is so complex and passionate and sexual. I feel sorry for all Aurora. She’s so broken unable to know who she is. Cannot wait to hear the second part of this journey.

Obsessed

Omg yes so good and hot this and Cole and Silva are my favorite. Definitely love the chemistry they have

Who did what?!

First Jonathan is king 😜. Oh Dom daddy…..I loved this book, I was hooked. It’s a little twisted it being her sisters man…and her being the doppelgänger. Book ends in a cliffhanger and I need to know who, and why! Spice 4/5 for the intensity and of course narration!

Great story

Jonathan king 🔥🔥🔥
Aurora is a baddie Great story with a plot twist. Off to book two

Long Live The King

"Reign Of A King" by Rina Kent – an absolute icon in the audiobook realm! Narrated in duet style by the legendary Shane East as Jonathan King and the enchanting Kiera Stevens as Aurora Harper, this audiobook is a ride like no other that'll keep you hooked from start to finish!
 Shane East, my all-time favourite Brit, breathes life into Jonathan King with his iconic narration, making every word a delight to the ears. The plot is a wild ride of power plays, desire, and forbidden love that takes unexpected twists and turns. You'll find yourself on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting what happens next. And yes, those "Good Girl" moments are flawlessly delivered by Shane East in a way only he can master. Keira Stevens is a total goddess and I adore her British accent and really shines as the feisty “wild one” to Shane’s ‘Tyrant” Daddy Jonathan King. Kiera’s Aurora really doesn’t make it easy for him, and does a phenomenal job of matching Shane’s Jonathan energy in the performance. Aurora is strong and independent, but has a tragic past and learns she needs Jonathan’s darkness and his punishments and finds solace in being trapped in his clutches and Jonathan can’t resist her: she challenges him like no one ever has and he absolutely loves it. The kink and chemistry are un paralleled, Rina knows how to serve true BDSM and does it so well, and in true Rina style, gives us the anti-hero we never knew we needed.   
  Jonathan King – the epitome of alpha with a dash of enigma! He set the standard for me, and we now know where Aiden gets all his possessiveness and "burn the world for you" vibes? Thank Jonathan for that legacy.
 
So grab your favourite beverage, settle in, and let the magic of Shane & Keira’s narration sweep you away. Trust me, this is one audiobook experience so iconic, you'll want to relive over and over again!All the stars!

I liked this.

I'm becoming a sucker for age gap romances 🤤. I think I need to listen to book 2 before I decide on liking this or not; there's some hot scenes but not much steam. I am interested in other parts of the story.
Yup, gets much better towards the end.
