Blurb
She came here for protection, but that’s the last thing she’s going to find.
Welcome to Corium University, where the most dangerous criminals in the world send their offspring. Assassins, mafia leaders, arms dealers and art thieves.
You name it, this college houses them.
Here nothing can touch them.
Upon arriving I knew Aspen would be here, she was the daughter of our enemy, a snake in the grass like her father. I had no intention of sparring with her. That is until she opened her pretty little mouth. One sentence and she became my next target, and a woman that I would do anything to see on her knees at my feet.
If she thought the university was the only nightmare she would have to face, she was wrong.
I was the king, and this was my kingdom.
**King of Corium is a dark new adult, enemies to lovers romance, that contains dark themes, including dub-con, and non-con. It is not a standalone novel.**
Holy smokes, this book is the BEST kind of intense!! This was an interesting book as in that it is set place in the mafia world, but more so a university setting with their heirs. It focuses on Quinton and Aspen and man these two couldn’t be more opposite! Aspen has been put through the ringer and as strong as she wants to be, it is just freaking hard with no one on her side. Quinton is going through some things that makes him question who he is and he is kind of a wild card. Things are not always black and white and it keeps everything enticing and interesting that I could not wait to see what is next. Trust is hard in this world and it is shown through every single page.
All in all this book is freaking excellent and I want the next installment of the series ASAP! The authors did an excellent job not only with the story, but creating complex characters that aren’t so cut and dry. I absolutely give it 5 outta 5 stars and NEED the next book as soon as possible!
PS: Thank you to C Hallman and JL Beck for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
