Hi, book buddies :-) Look what's live! And sooooo gorgeous :-D I hope you're ready for this very intense NORDIC KING.
A Nordic King by Karina Halle
Publication Date: September 21, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
SYNOPSIS:
When I first applied for the job I thought it would be like all the others: working as a nanny for an aristocratic family.
Then I got the job and found out how wrong I was.
Now I’m the new nanny for two adorable little girls who happen to be princesses.
Their father is the widowed King of Denmark.
And my new home? The royal palace in Copenhagen.
Adjusting to my new life isn't easy but the hardest part hasn’t been the girls who still grieve over the loss of their mother.
It’s their father.
Cold, mysterious and moody, with an icy stare that seems to penetrate your soul, King Aksel may have hired me to take care of his daughters but he wants as little to do with me as possible.
Yet the longer I share these palace walls with this man, the more that I’m drawn to him. His chiseled face and sexual swagger are only part of the package. It’s in the long, intense glances at the dinner table, the way we’ll brush up against each other in the halls, the rare glimpses of the man deep inside, like the sun passing through clouds.
But no matter how I feel about him, we can never be together.
You think it's bad enough being in love with your boss?
Try falling in love with a king.
MY OPINION
The handsome face draws you to this book, the royal theme tantalizes you, yet it's the very touching story within that really ensnares your heart.
From the tragic first chapter, the mood of the story has a gripping and bittersweet duality. Sad and joyful, like real life, it shows the bitter weight of guilt and the light-hearted soar of children's innocence.
A slow-burning romance, but you feel the burning, melting down all you layers until the embers flare and touch your rapidly-beating heart. Two very lonely hearts deprived of the love they need most. It's endearing and sweet and beautiful to read.
I truly enjoyed every part. The sweet relationship with the two princesses and his proud, albeit somewhat lost father; the fun moments with a certain critter and the very honest attitude of the Australian nanny; the emotional power of a love story that erupts despite the odds.
What an eruption, too! Explossive, dirty and wild. OMG. The palace walls were trembling with the force of their passion :-D
I must confess that I expected the first intimacy to be more romantic, but it was quite hot and animalistic!
The love that blooms between the wounded king and the headstrong nanny is epic. The things they say to each other when they realize their feelings are just poetic. I enjoyed their banter, their shields and how they crumbled, the uninhibited passion and the bravery they demonstrated when facing their own flaws.
A Danish crown, two adorable princesses, a squeaking pet and a romance fit for royalty. Precious.
FAVOURITE QUOTES:
Imagine a king being ruled by his princesses.
I've waited forty years for my heart to have a home.
I feel pure happiness rise out of me, like aphoenix from the ashes of the person I once was.
We're all just broken children covering our guilt with adult clothing.
