King's Harlot series by JM Walker

Grit, 3.5 stars

A bit of the story was stereotypical, a little too much at times, but the overall story arc was a good one. The heat and chemistry between the characters was spot on, and I’m invested enough to continue with the series 😊

Stain, 4 stars

These two, for all they were friends, really needed to talk truthfully to each other more! More on the bigger story arc, and that did not go at all how I thought, and more possible pairings hinted at.

Grim, 5 stars

This was an alternated POV for events that took place in the previous book, and some added content. We are with a previously established couple, and the more I get to know them, the more I am liking them, and this series

Rude, 4.5 stars

Wow, heed the warnings, because that did turn pretty dark towards the end, in a way that was damaging to the characters. Before that, we had our couple finally acting on their attraction, and realizing how well suited for each other they were. Before that, we had them becoming a team, in life, in troubles, and in their hearts. They are unique in their dynamic, but it works for them, and that is all that matters. And that damage, they will move through it together, and be strong er because of it

Numb, 4 stars

Knew this was going to be an emotional one going in, and it was. It was also seemingly hopeless for our characters, but they didn’t shy away from that. They recognized that, even when they pushed against it, and they did what they needed to be whole individually before accepting they could be together

Rust, 5 stars

That was not at all how I expected things to go down, but it kept me riveted to the story from the start until the very end!

For You, 5 stars

Ugh, this one hit me in all the feels, with the despair, and hope, and healing, it was a perfect check back with our most damaged couple
