4.5 stars This was my favourite Rittenhouse book. I loved Colm and Imo and are SO glad we get their stories. I’m a big sucker for wounded heroes and Colm, he’s got a boatload of baggage and watching him overcome it was a sight to read. I’m so glad we got Imo’s story. She again had a boatload of baggage to overcome, but again, watching her overcome it was extremely enjoyable. I love how close these guys are, but I did want to see more of their ladies. I also thought it was a tad bit short, or did I read it too quickly? Anyway, I would’ve liked to have seen more in between the last chapter and the epilogue. This was a great end to this series and I’m sad to see it go!
Heartless King is book five in the Kings of Rittenhouse series, but each of the books in the series can be read as standalones. This is the second book I have read in the series and I can attest that I had no trouble understanding the story. Heartless King is essentially a story of two individuals who have been through so much trauma and their journey on finally finding bliss. Colm is someone who has had to grow up fast and take on a lot of responsibilities from a young age due to the death of his parents for which he blames himself for. He messes up a lot but when he realizes his mistakes he accepts and apologizes for it as well. Imogen lost her parents as well as her fiancé, Preston to an accident and hasn’t grieved properly. They both have flaws of their own and go through some fantastic character development as well. The writing style is great as well and the plot is easy to follow. Colm and Imogen do spend a night together and she falls pregnant but what I love about this story was told is that the pregnancy is not the catalyst for their love which is why I love this book so much. The pregnancy trope is one that can be quite messy but Maya navigates this so well that I was in awe. The brotherhood between the guys was one of the best things in this book and I loved how they were all there for Colm during his trying times though I wish there was more scenes shown between the girls especially between Imogen and Avery. I will definitely be picking up the rest of the books in this series and would be watching out for Maya’s other books as well. ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange of an honest review.
THIS BOOK. THIS ENDING. THE TEARS. THE PAIN. THE LOVE. COLM, IMOGEN, AND PRESTON DESERVE ALL THE STARS AND HEARTS IN THE WORLD.
Poslední díl série Kings of Rittenhouse. Dávám plný počet bodů, protože oba dva museli překonat jisté překážky, aby mohly být spolu.
Heartless King is the final book in the Kings of Rittenhouse series and boy I have to say that I absolutely loved this book. This book is sexy angsty and emotional. It was a perfect book to get me out of my reading slump. I give this 5 out of 5.
