“Love is what you would do for the other person, not what you do in general.”
 
When I read T.M. Frazier’s first book, The Dark Light of Day, in 2013 and I was hooked. I love this author’s writing style, the way she can write so much beauty among all the ugly content she writes and the feelings her books evoke. I feel like I have been waiting for the longest time for her second full length novel, King- but let me tell you guys something… KING was worth the wait!

 photo 2afc7378-ce7c-49ec-b172-3b43ca99693e_zpsymlj529y.jpgOur story starts with a young Doe. A girl with no memories. She doesn’t have anywhere to go, doesn’t know who she is and is alone in the world.

 
I don’t know where I came from.
I don’t know how hold I am
I don’t know my real name.

Some way or another, she finds King.

 


Brantley King is a tattoo artist fresh out of prison. He is a criminal and has been for a long time. He and his partner, Preppy, have a business. They started from the very bottom when they were young but they were determined to make it. Now they’re on the top. They do what they want when they want to do it, no questions asked. When King first sees Doe, he doesn’t know what to think. He feels something for this girl. She makes him feel something different.

“Because you’re mine.”


 


This is so much I want to say about this story- SO MUCH! But at the risk of spoiling something (trust me, this is one you don’t want spoiled) I’ll just talk about the characters and all the things I loved.







 photo f03148b6-666f-4e1c-8a8b-95587b05a58c_zpsdqfqemlg.jpgFirst there was Doe. This girl was lost. She was frightened. But she was so strong. She was willing to do what it took to survive at all costs. And I love that as scary as King could be, she stood up to him. She didn’t cower and take his crap. King is a tough nut to crack. There are so many sides to this man. You see him as a ‘bad guy’ at first, but he is definitely not all bad. Doe brings out an eternity different guy.  I love the connection they share and their chemistry is off the charts! Also, the more you hear about King’s past and what’s really going on in his life, the more you’ll feel for this powerful yet broken man.


 


As much as I loved the main characters, there are two secondary characters that were also fantastic. Preppy and Bear. Preppy is one of those guys that will make you laugh out loud in every part he’s in. He has the foulest mouth and you never know what he’s going to say. He’s a true friend to King and Doe in every sense of the word. Then there is Bear who is a biker and also a friend of King and Preppy’s. I think a Bear book would be pretty great. I’d love to know more about him.

I love getting those twists thrown into books that I didn’t see coming. And I for real did not see that coming! That cliffhanger makes me desperate for the next book. August can’t come soon enough!

If you are a fan of dark romances, read this book. If you want to be captivated by fantastic writing, read this book. If you like the raw and gritty, read this book. If you love twists and turns in your stories, read this book. I guess when it comes down to it, I would tell all my fellow readers to read this book! I loved it from start to finish and it’s one I highly recommend.


 


Blurb
Homeless, hungry and desperate enough to steal, Doe has no memories of who she is or where she comes from.

A notorious career criminal just released from prison, King is someone you don’t want to cross unless you’re prepared to pay him back in blood, sweat, pu$$y or a combination of all three.

King’s future hangs in the balance. Doe’s is written in her past. When they come crashing together, they will have to learn that sometimes in order to hold on, you have to first let go. 

Warning: This book contains graphic violence, consensual and nonconsensual sex, drug use, abuse, and other taboo subjects and adult subject matter. Although originally slated to be a standalone, KING is now a two part series.

KING Excerpt!!!



Excerpt 
“I hate the way you made me feel. Well, most of the time.” I spat. I was tired of dancing around the truth. “I hate the confusion you bring into my already confused life. I need this back and forth shit to end.” I took a deep breath. “I can’t take it anymore. You like me. You hate me. You like me. You want to kill me. You want to fuck me. You want me to stay. You want me to live.  My head is fucking spinning over here.” My buzz faded faster than the setting sun. "You should leave. I don't want you here," I added.
"I know. I don't care." King said.
"Oh, I’m fully aware that you don’t care. That I know.”
"You don't know shit, Pup." King barked.
"Oh yeah? So you didn't just spend the entire night at the carnival all over me, saying sweet shit to me, making me feel like this stupid thing between us is something more than just a stupid thing, only to whip out your dick with someone else the very first chance you got? Go back to the fucking house, King. Go back to that girl. I hope she's everything you wanted.”
"I can't," King said evenly.
"Why not? Seemed easy for you before."
"Because, Pup, I can’t because I don't want to. No matter how hard I try to fight this, I'm drawn to you. You think I like this back and forth shit? You think you’re the only one who’s fucking confused here?" He shook his head like he couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. "I'm drawn to you," he repeated turning my chin up to him.
“What do you expect? Am I supposed to fall at your feet and thank you for being ‘drawn to me’?” Not only was he confusing, he was fucking infuriating. "Drawn to me? You're drawn to me! Well, let me just take off my fucking panties then, and let's do this shit. Yeah, you were really drawn to me. Tell me something, KING. Do most first dates end with the guy getting sucked off by another girl? I mean, I've never been on one, so you tell me. I could be wrong here. Because if the answer is yes, then this date has gone fucking swimmingly!"
"I'm...FUCK! “You think you know everything but you don’t. All you do is run those pretty lips of yours and expect me to be able to just give into you!” King threw his hands up in the air. “You make me fucking crazy, you know that!" he shouted.
"I make YOU crazy? How the fuck do you think I feel? Most of the time I don't know if you want to kill me or fuck me!" I screamed, every single word he spoke ignited my anger until it wasn’t something I could even begin to hold back.
King had the audacity to actually smile. He leaned forward and whispered seductively against my cheek, "Can't I want both, Pup?"
I pulled back and stood up.
"NO! You can't! And stop calling me, Pup. It's a stupid fucking name. I'm not your fucking pet!"
I paced the dock. My rage was at a boiling point I couldn't turn off. This was his fault. He’d made me into this lunatic.
King stood and grabbed my face with both hands, forcing me to look at him. "Yes you are," he said, as he lowered his lips and brushed them softly against mine in a move so gentle, so unlike him, it took me a few seconds before I registered what was happening.
Then, my anger returned, in full force. Using both my hands, I pushed against his chest until he had no choice but to release me.
"Fuck you! You don't want to keep me!" I shouted over my shoulder as I made my way to the front of the house and started down the gravel driveway. "Do you think I’m stupid? You wouldn't be getting your jollies while I'm in the next room if it was me you wanted."
A large hand grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.
"Let go of me!" I shouted.

"Listen, Pup. I’ve tried it your way. I tried gentle just now, but you didn't listen. Now, we're going to do it my way, and you're going to fucking listen. Don't make me have to cuff you again." He warned.
