Cross by Shantel Tessier
5.0
Cross is smoking hot and will set your heart on fire in this book.
This is the first book of “The Dark Kings” Series I have read and I thought it was a great book and can imagine it being a good series to read. It reminded me a lot of the MC series by Serena Akeroyd. Both styles of writing are similar and well done.
We hear from Alexa and Cross’ point of view. We hear from the other characters through the narration of Alexa and Cross as well. I would give this book a trigger warning for someone who may be triggered by pregnancy loss.
The book starts with Cross’ 13th birthday, his father says it is time for Cross to repent for his sins. His mother is there with him as well and watches the whole scene. His mother then gives him a birthday present, which is a zippo lighter with engraving on it.
We then pick up present time Alexa, she comes across as a relaxed no nonsense kinda girl, she was cheated on by her ex and is now single, although he doesn’t want them to be over and won’t leave her alone. She owns a bar called “Lucky’s” and works their with her brother Derek.
Alexa is best friends with April who is Grave’s wife. Grave, Cross, Titan and Bones are all Kings, their fathers were the three wisemen and went about their business privately, whereas the Kings don’t do anything privately, people know to be afraid of them and to watch out who they mess with. They own a hotel in Las Vegas which is full of restaurants, bars, clubs, casinos, strip clubs and tattoo shop “tit for tat” which is run by Cross, he is a tattoo artist.
During the book we learn about Alexa and Cross’ relationship, but also their is a deal which has not gone right and the Kings are trying to work out how to fix it. There are a few hot sex scenes and a few gory fight and torture scenes. It reminds me of a mafia style of book.
Cross isn’t as dominant as I thought he would be, he is very possessive and doesn’t want people knowing his story, he doesn’t let people in and struggles with trust, the only people he trusts are his King brothers.
I would definitely recommend this book, you don’t need to read the whole series before this book.
