The highest stakes... My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I'm his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game. Every kind of danger circles the velvet-covered table, but only one man makes me tremble. A trailer park princess. The son of a criminal king. We don't belong together, but I'm caught in a twisted game. His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his cards, I know I'm going to lose more than my body. I'm going to lose everything. * * * * * THE KING is the first book in the new Masterpiece duet about risking your heart and finding yourself. It's a spin-off from the USA Today bestselling trilogy but can be read separately.

MY OPINION

Dark poetry. One of the aspects I care for most is this author's intricate, subtle sensibility in her writing. Words that touch deep and resonate with so much knowledge of the pain a heart can harbour in silence. I feel every word as if it reflects who I am even though I couldn't dream of expressing it in any way similar to her talent.

This is a very dark story. Penny is a victim of an atrocious crime which contrasts vividly with her tender heart and sharp wit. So young in the face of two evils, one of which is a man who can be both saviour and trigger of bad things. I suffered along with her, but I also admire her resilience, her loyalty to her lost father, her heroic spark of life. The dialogues and scenes with Damon Scott pulse with a tense, sensual beat despite their impossible bond. If Gabriel Miller was hard on Avery (The Pawn), Damon is just a demon, cold and taunting.

The relationship is so complex that it hovers between risk and an epiphany. I loved how the plot mingled with that of The Endgame series. The first part of this duet is taut with very dark deeds, life-changing gambling, and the most tortured man who cannot love a woman for fear of destroying her. I'm really clawing at the walls with need to read the second part. 

The Queen is going to be one hell of a comeback on Penny's part. I hope she wins her freedom , her deserved dignity, and the man she can and must save. Skye, you're my writing goddess!
