American King (New Camelot #3) by Sierra Simone

on


They say that every tragic hero has a fatal flaw, a secret sin, a tiny stitch sewn into his future since birth. And here I am. My sins are no longer secret. My flaws have never been more fatal. And I’ve never been closer to tragedy than I am now.

I am a man who loves, a man whose love demands much in return. I am a king, a king who was foolish enough to build a kingdom on the bones of the past. I am a husband and a lover and a soldier and a father and a president.
And I will survive this.

Long live the king.

I like the idea and overarching storyline of this series. I also really like that each book in the series was mainly a different MCs POV and that a new POV was added each book.

Greer just becomes a sex object in this book. She was no real personality or place except for that. This book really just focuses on Ash and Embry’s relationship. In the whole trilogy we never see much of Greer’s professorship and research and I wish we saw it more. And listen, I love a steamy book, but this book focused entirely too much on the sex and not enough on the plot and the romantic relationships outside of the sex.

Don’t even get me started on the whole last 15-20%. I hated the whole past lives thing that was pulled there at the end, though I did enjoy the parallels that were coming written. And then Ash pulled that BS and I’m so mad about. I have no idea how anybody could talk to him again after that or how it’s sustainable.
