Description
Journey King is an expert at managing the family business. But when her father returns to Houston hell-bent on making a play for the company, Journey will do anything to stop him, even if that means going to Frank Evans for help. Frank deals in information, the dirtier the better. Rugged and rock solid, he's by far her best ally -- and also the most dangerous.
Frank knows better than to get tangled up with the Kings. But something about Journey's rare vulnerability drags him deep into enemy territory... and into her darkest past. Pretending to be her boyfriend may be necessary for their plan to work, but Frank soon finds helping Journey is much more than just another job - and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Advance Praise
"There’s nothing typical about this damsel/knight romance, and watching Journey learn to trust herself and Frank choose to let down his guard when each has so much at stake is deeply satisfying." - Publishers Weekly

This book has all the elements of a great romance book that I've come to expect from this author. If you've read any of her other works, you know that there is usually a bit of suspense intertwined in the storyline. I've noticed some reviews say they tried to read this as a stand alone- I wouldn't recommend that. This is the second in a series, and while each duo has their own story to tell, the background information just builds on the developments and makes it a fuller journey (no pun intended) for the readers. In fact, go back and read her O'Malley series if you haven't already. I haven't had a customer yet who didn't enjoy the books when I've recommended them, and have a wait list for all upcoming books including this one. I have no doubt they will love this just as much.
YOU GUYS!!! THIS BOOK WAS EVERYTHING!! I loved Samara and Beck in book one but honestly knew that Journey and Frank were going to own me. And frankly (no pun intended) - that's exactly what they did. I loved them so hard as this book legit came out of nowhere for me. In full transparency, it's obvious that bloggers read alot of books, right? Sometimes more than we physically should (as sleep deprivation is a real thing.) But honestly, The Fearless King is one of the few books I can think of that had me making deals with myself "for just one more chapter" and then grudgingly crashing at two am to only start reading again five hours later. This book was OUTSTANDING. I legit died for Frank and Journey. Their chemistry, passion and connection between them lit my kindle on FIRE!!!!
While this is the second book in the King series, it is a standalone, but, in my opinion, best enjoyed after reading the first book. When Journey King needs protection from her father and his dangerous mission to take over her family business, she turns to Frank Evans, a dangerous and ruthless businessman who deals in secrets and lies. But when lines get crossed and emotions erupt, their fake relationship turns into something very very real.
I absolutely LOVED this story! It pushed all my swoony buttons and had everything I love in a story. Sassy heroine, uber protective alpha and scorching intensity and attraction between our couple. The storyline was so consuming and addicting and I never wanted it to end. I love how the author was able to showcase Frank's protectiveness and the idea that it was ok for Journey to be a little bit damaged and bruised. Her strength was inherent in her drive to succeed and pick herself up. GAH!! I absolutely FLOVED this story, couple and would read about them forever if I could. I seriously will read anything Katee Robert writes and I can't wait for more!! Bravo!!
I would like to thank NetGalley and Forever for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula
