About this book
Jannus the Halfling is a man of contradictions: a charming, golden-haired Nephilim who would rather flirt than rule. As the last heir to a powerful bloodline, he should be seizing the empty throne, but he has a different mission. He ventures into the dangerous Fetch lands to retrieve Melek, hoping to stabilize the fractured kingdom. However, his plans are derailed when he encounters Diadre, a sharp-tongued Captain of the Shadekin assassins who is as deadly as she is beautiful.
This high-stakes entry in the Kingdom of the Krow series delivers a masterclass in the enemies-to-lovers trope. As Jann and Diadre are forced into an uneasy alliance, the sparks of forbidden attraction become impossible to ignore. Yet, a devastating family curse looms over them; Jann knows that loving Diadre could lead to a tragic end for them both. He must choose between protecting his heart or risking everything to keep her safe from the ruthless political games of the Nephilim.
Perfect for fans of intense paranormal romance, this story blends divine stakes with raw, human desire. Whether you are craving a slow-burn romance or a fast-paced battle for a crown, this installment promises an unforgettable journey where love is the ultimate, dangerous gamble.

THRILLED doesn’t begin to cover it when I found out Jann and Diadre were getting their own book in the series. Melek and Yilan were delightful in the first two, and laid the groundwork, but this book was definitely the best route to bridge some gaps and add perspectives that we may not have seen before. Jann is Melek’s second, and Diadre is Yilan’s second, so naturally we see the banter and sparks come full circle here. Jann is a half-ling, but there is nothing about this creature that isn’t...

The King’s Man was the story I was so hoping we’d get—and it absolutely did not disappoint. Diadre and Jann are hands down my favorite duo, and every moment with them just reinforced why I love them so much. Their dynamic, chemistry, and emotional connection made this one a standout. Now I’m eagerly waiting for the grand finale to see how everything comes together ❤️ )

The plot to this is a great concept and the author writes well to draw you in. My only objection is the redundant and tedious love scenes that were well written the first 20 times but it’s every other page and I wound up skipping chapters just to get back to the story line. This author obviously has a thing for having her hair and neck grabbed. I swear every character in this series, starts their loving that way. After the 30th time it is like zzzz. Such a good writer shouldn’t have to cheapen...

From the title I figured that this story would show more of Jann's value to the story, but this is actually a total shift in POV to Jann and Diadre's mission towards the larger goals as right hands of the crowns. It was fun seeing some side characters get the light. The repetitive nature of aome of the conversations have a level or realism as people often fight the same fights till they learn to have a middle ground together; but as a.reader it can drag out sections of the book at the sacrifice...
