Blurb

Two blue lines. That means not pregnant, right? Right? Oh, sh*t.
 
Five years ago, Colm Frost asked me to marry him and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn’t broken and made me believe it. He made me feel it.
 
Now, he’s the hot, angry, hockey player on the mend. 
 
I’m the physiotherapist who’s supposed to get him back on his feet. 
 
I don’t think our night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t dreamt of him every time I close my eyes. I woke up beside him with my body still singing from the way he fanned the flames of my desire, but I couldn’t stay.

His lips on my neck. His hands wrapped around my waist. His impressive…ahem, touch leaving me breathless.
 
One moment of wild inhibition and it’s come back to bite me in the butt. Kind of like he did that night.
 
But a baby? Our night was supposed to be a one time thing, closing a door on the future I couldn’t handle. 
 
Will this new bump in the road be everything we needed to find our forever?

Heartless King is a standalone friends to enemies to lovers, accidental pregnancy romance that brings all the laugh out loud, angsty feels!

Excerpt

The question had been running through my head all night: how could I get her to leave? But I didn’t want her to go. And now the maple syrup and cinnamon taste of her sent me hurtling close to the edge of my control. Those reserves were running on fumes. 
Everyone else had been run off by my anger or blinded by my money, but not her. If anything, she battled me, pushing me like she knew I needed it. She wouldn’t let me hide the splintered and cracked pieces of myself that I was barely holding together. 
She didn’t push me to talk, just slid in past my defenses and got me to say more than I should. 
“Do you want me to stop?” I ran my fingers through her hair, tugging on the roots. 
Her lips parted in a gasp and I deepened the kiss, needing to taste even more of her. She’d teased me, eating that French toast that smelled like a vanilla and cinnamon factory had exploded when it arrived at our table.
She stared into my eyes, heavy breaths shuddering past her lips. “Hell no.”

My Thoughts <3

Y’all, other than Angry God by LJ Shen, Heartless King was my MOST anticipated read of 2020. I have been waiting for Colm’s story since the very beginning, but especially since the past couple of books. This guy is angry and hurt and I knew it was going to be a long path for him to be redeemable and I might have hated the wait, but I am so happy that Maya took her time with this and not only gave Colm the story that he deserved, but also a fantastic series conclusion. The Kings of Rittenhouse collection is one that I will read again and again and cannot recommend it enough for you to check out!

Now about Heartless King, give me a guy that is angry at the world and try to redeem him? That is TOTALLY my kind of book and one that I love, add in an accidental pregnancy and you have my signed, hooked, and delivered. I adored how Maya had things progress in the book and was able to also revisit our other favorite characters in the series. Ahhhhh… I loved this completely and you can definitely read this as a standalone, but I recommend reading the series because it was so good and will be even better for you! I give this 5 stars FOR SURE and loved every second of it!

PS: Thank you to Maya Hughes and Give Me Books for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly.

Author Bio

Maya Hughes, that’s me!, can often be found sneaking in another chapter while hiding in the bathroom from her kids! 🙂 I’m a romance writer who loves taking inspiration from everyday life, namely my husband and biggest fan. Inspiration also strikes when I hear a song, meet someone new or daydream while at soccer practice.
 
I love writing stories that capture the possibilities of the paths less travelled and enjoy experiencing life through my characters’ eyes.
 
I’m the mom of three little ones, the wife to an amazing husband and also work full time. Some of my favorite things are cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, white wine, laughing until I can’t breathe, traveling with my family and Jeff Goldblum.
