Jamsu's Reviews > Reign of a King

Reign of a King is the first book of Kingdom Duet. It's the beginning of Jonathan's (Aiden's father who we met in Royal Elite series) and his dead wife's younger half sister.

Aurora just wanted to save her company with her best friend. She lost everything eleven years ago and Jonathan King is part of the reason. She thought he was a god when she was just a kid and her sister married him but now she thinks he broke her sister beyond repair and she refused to let him do the same to her.

She had a plan to get Ethan's help to save her company but Jonathan doesn't only hate Ethan with passion but he decided that Aurora would be his. Jonathan loves to win and when he finally saw Aurora after all these years, he felt like she got away from him and he didn't like to lose.

Aurora felt like she was broken after what happened eleven years ago and you can't break what was already broken, so she doesn't need a long time to consider Jonathan's offer after he makes any other possibility impossible. She survived sixteen years with a monster, so she could survive Jonathan. 

Jonathan is a cold character but you can't help but want to see how possessive he gets over someone he isn't supposed to care about. He didn't always go it by the right way but I liked how he showed he cared by not letting Aurora get away with hiding things and he knew a lot of things she hadn't told him. 

Aurora looked almost identical to her sister but I was so relieved that Jonathan just saw her. He saw how different they were and wasn't trying to replace Alicia with Aurora. It did broke my heart a little bit when Aurora saw that he had kept Alicia's room as it was without trying to get rid of anything, making it seem like he still wasn't over her death when I think he just felt guilty for marrying Alicia only because of the debt and for not being able to save her.

All in all I enjoyed every moment with Aurora and Jonathan. I liked seeing some characters from Royal Elite series and I really liked Aurora's best friend. I just want to know more about Aurora's mother deal, like why did she want to keep her children apart? This was another one of those books that I finished only in a day.
