ARC Review - The Rebel King by Gina L. Maxwell

 Thank you so much Entangled Publishing for sending me this ARC!

Title: The Rebel King
Author: Gina L. Maxwell
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: Deviant Kings (book #2)
Pages: 327

Synopsis:

All work and no wicked play makes Tiernan a very unsatisfied king…

Of all the Verran brothers, Tiernan is the 
least suited to wear the Night Court crown. The Rebel Prince is happy with no responsibilities or accountability—just the freedom to pursue his own dark, lush pleasures in Sin City. Including his secret hunger for a certain smart-mouthed, fiery redhead.

Only, the possibility of having Fiona is stripped away when Tiernan is thrust into the one role he never wanted: 
king. As king of the Dark Fae, wanting—let alone pursuing—anything with a lower-caste fae like Fiona would shift from fun…to forbidden. 

Now war is emerging from the shadows of Vegas, and Tiernan is caught between who he’s meant to be and who he 
wants. And somewhere in this maelstrom of lust, love, and rebellion is the key to the Dark Fae’s survival…even if the cost is more than he can imagine.


Review & thoughts:


The Rebel King is the second book in the adult paranormal romance Deviant Kings series and I think I enjoyed this one even better than The Dark King, it was so good!

After his brother abdicated the throne, Tiernan, the fun-loving playboy prince, is supposed to become the new king of the Night Court in just a few months. But becoming king means there is no way for him to pursue Fiona, a lower-caste Fae who he can’t get out of his head, but who is forbidden for him to have a relationship with. With Fae being killed in his city, Tiernan will have to figure out if he is ready to became the king his people need and how to do that without sacrificing his heart in the process. 

I loved Tiernan and Fiona’s as main characters, these two were completely different but fit so well together, I loved seeing their forbidden relationship grow and them starting to trust and love each other. Fiona was a very strong female lead, she went through a lot and her world turned upside down in this book, but she dealt with everything very well, she maybe wasn’t badass but still very strong and I loved how she developed as a character. Tiernan grew a lot here too, it was amazing to see him change from the playboy prince into a king caring for his people and I can’t wait to see more of him and Fiona in the next book in this series. Aside from amazing characters and beautiful romance, this book had a really interesting plot that had me finish this book in one sitting but the amount of plot was perfectly balanced with romance and spicy scenes, it was everything I love in books. 

The Rebel King is a really great sequel to Dark King, I loved it and already can’t wait for the third book in this trilogy! If you like fantasy books with amazing characters, spicy romance and interesting plot, you should definitely give this series a try.
