Hail to the King by May SageMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Hail to the king is a wonderful story that shows us the progressive relationship between Ryn and Desmond. The path of Ryn’s life hasn’t been easy. Having been blackmailed by a family member and then made to pay by a sleezy man from work she is definitely down on her luck and stuck in a hard and dark place. Scrimping and saving to help her sister, trying to keep it together and getting stronger by the day… Ryn just wants to survive. Enter Desmond King, helping Ryn to pick herself up and become the woman she is meant to be. He is strong, brooding and short on words but can see what is inside Ryn, even when he sees her vulnerability and the situation, she finds herself in, he seems to be her quiet strength.
What I really liked about this book is the slow burn between Ryn and Desmond. Desmond is completely honest about his sexuality which is really refreshing and Ryn seems to take everything in her stride. There are definite moments where your heart breaks for the two of them but they have an enormous amount of strength which can be seen throughout the book.
There are some moments in the book such as the scene with the sister where I think she deserved more than a good telling off, but overall this was a really good read.
