Publication Date: September 21, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
SYNOPSIS:
When I first applied for the job I thought it would be like all the others: working as a nanny for an aristocratic family.
When I first applied for the job I thought it would be like all the others: working as a nanny for an aristocratic family.
Then I got the job and found out how wrong I was.
Now I’m the new nanny for two adorable little girls who happen to be princesses.
Their father is the widowed King of Denmark.
And my new home? The royal palace in Copenhagen.
Adjusting to my new life isn't easy but the hardest part hasn’t been the girls who still grieve over the loss of their mother.
It’s their father.
Cold, mysterious and moody, with an icy stare that seems to penetrate your soul, King Aksel may have hired me to take care of his daughters but he wants as little to do with me as possible.
Yet the longer I share these palace walls with this man, the more that I’m drawn to him. His chiseled face and sexual swagger are only part of the package. It’s in the long, intense glances at the dinner table, the way we’ll brush up against each other in the halls, the rare glimpses of the man deep inside, like the sun passing through clouds.
But no matter how I feel about him, we can never be together.
You think it's bad enough being in love with your boss?
Try falling in love with a king.
A Nordic King is my new favorite Karina Halle book (after The Play- my all time favorite)! I am obsessed with this book. Seriously, I loved it so much! It was fun, angsty, sweet, emotional, and sexy. There was nothing I didn’t love about it, an all around perfect read for me!
Aurora is looking for a new job as a nanny. She never in a million years expects to interview to be the nanny for the two little princesses of Denmark. But here she is. She’s even more surprised when she gets the job. Now, the aloof and moody King Aksel is her boss. At first, these two go round and round. I love that Aurora has a back bone and doesn’t let Aksel walk all over her. With time, and the connection they share, she starts to fall for him.
Bloody hell. I think I’m in love with my boss. A king. And there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
While Aurora is slowly falling for Aksel, she is already been head over heals for his daughters. I love the relationship that the three girlies have. And little Snarf-Snarf, maybe the best part of the book LOL! The family dynamic of this story was just as beautiful as the romance. Aurora is an amazing heroine, and then there is Aksel. He’s had a rough life, especially lately. He’s a bit of a jerk at times, but god did I love him! Watching him fall for Aurora and seeing it change him was such a beautiful thing!
She’s not just a nanny. She’s Aurora. She’s my reckoning and savior all at once. She’s her namesake, those northern lights that brighten the darkest winter skies. She’s my homecoming.
This couple had so much passion. Their romance was forbidden, sexy, and intense. I adored the both of them and seriously had so much love for this book! I can’t recommend it enough. If you love fairy tale romances and slow burns, this is the book for you. It’s a beautiful book about family, forgiveness, love, and it made me laugh, cry, and left me with the biggest smile on my face. 5 stars to A Nordic King!
“I am a king. And I belong to you in ways I never thought possible. More than I belong to my country, more than I belong to the people, I belong to you.”
