Publisher's summary

They say that every tragic hero has a fatal flaw, a secret sin, a tiny stitch sewn into his future since birth. And here I am. My sins are no longer secret. My flaws have never been more fatal. And I've never been closer to tragedy than I am now.

I am a man who loves, a man whose love demands much in return. I am a king, a king who was foolish enough to build a kingdom on the bones of the past. I am a husband and a lover and a soldier and a father and a president. And I will survive this.

Long live the king.

Shocking Love Story

I'm not sure if my headline even really expresses how I feel about this series. I like that all 3 books is each person's version of the love they shared between Ash, Greer and Embry and each book added a bit more to the story. I did get used to Guy Locke's narration although at times it threw me off, Stephanie Rose's narration is great. A few chapters to towards the end got a little weird with Ash's storyline but I was pretty happy how it ended especially because you think it's going to end differently, the epilogue redeemed it for me. The whole "we are three" was a little weird for me but actually left me wondering if this really exists is some peoples real lives or if it could actually work for some people. I'm torn as to which of the men were my favorite only because in their own ways they both made certain sacrifices in order to love each other and to love Greer. I think I will need to relisten to this series at some point to make it all make sense to me. None if it was what I thought this story would be about from beginning to end. There were some pretty intense sex scenes that left me a little unsure as to why someone would want to be treated that way and at the same time they were pretty damn good. The part in the book that I didn't care for was Merlin's revealing secret, it just lost me so I'm glad it was towards the end and I was invested because I could have easily put it down at that point. All in all I could have given it 5 stars but Merlin's secret took one star away.

Just as good the second time!

This was audio re-read for me. I loved Ash’s story and the conclusion to the New Camelot series. Hearing Ash’s story come to life and build to that ultimate moment of pain, of sacrifice, about did me in. Despite knowing exactly how the story went, hearing the narrated version had me feeling the gamut of emotions, as if it was the first time. And that moment of anticipation as the book drew closer to the end? Perfection.

Ash ❤️❤️❤️

When I first read this trilogy I almost couldn’t finish this book. I thought Sierra was ripping my heart out!! So when I got the audiobook I figured knowing everything I wouldn’t be as affected. Well I was wrong!! Hearing Guy give a voice to Ash made me love him more and I was so sad to have the book end! All I can say is - get this trilogy!! You will not be disappointed!!

Good read

Spoiler Alert:

My only issue with this book was them allowing Abilene to get away with so much. She was a risk to national security.

Amazing love story

Embry, Ash and Greer have a love that should last for ever. However Embry losses faith in Ash’s ability to keep Greer and the country safe. He decides to run against Ash on an opposing ticket. In doing so and his marriage to Abilene he unleashes a multitude of events that trigger an old tale, with a new ending.
This is my favorite quote from the book “My love for the two of you exists inside your love for each other, when you love each other your loving me”
I will tuck these stories away for know, but I know it won’t be forever! Thank you

Such a powerful story! Wow!

This book is so powerful! It was too much. This story is so beautiful and twisted!!! I don’t even know how to describe it. I cried so much at some point. I just couldn’t stop the tears. I am a romantic at heart and crave a HEA, so that’s why I cried so much, until there was another twist in the story which made me cry more. It ended up not exactly how I hoped, but this trilogy was so beautiful and the conclusion just made me feel complete. This trilogy is/are the first books I read by Sierra Simone and now I understand why so many people love her writing. I’m one of them now, a new fan! This book is definitely worth 5+ stars, but the trilogy is worth 10!

Loves secrets

The story is based on Camelot like characters. Ash is President, Greer, his wife and Emberly his Vice President.
There are a lot of twists and turns to this story, some you did not see coming and others are just Wow moments.
There are a lot of secrets that slowly unravel, but there is also a lot of love.
I enjoyed this story, and am looking forward to the next book.

Absolutely Loved This Story!

Although this was an absolutely great series, there were some challenging parts of the book for me as this was my most thorough introduction to the bdsm scene. I'm guessing the bdsm world is very diverse and may even have some aspects that is deeper than this, but this was more detailed than anything else I've ever been exposed to, and has even given me a different appreciation for the people who indulge in such activities.

As far as this book, it had me on a nice little emotional roller coaster, but it all came together beautifully! I am so glad that I found this story as it gave me everything I like to experience:
An introduction to new ideas
Happiness
Sadness
and Hope...

I will definitely look for other books by Sierra Simone.
