Four Kings Empire, 1

Ten years ago, the Four Kings killed my friend. 
I’m not going to kill them. 
I’m going to make every single one of them pay. 
Make them pray for death, and take everything they’ve ever loved. 
This is not revenge. This is justice. 
Plain and simple.

It's been ten years and the girl he once knew is back, working for the Four Kings as their PA. He'll keep an eye on Taylor, and he certainly won’t let anyone else touch her. 

When Taylor had to pull her best friend’s dead body out of the lake, it changed her life forever. Discovering a diary, she uncovered a secret relationship with one of the four kings. The four most powerful families in town. No one goes up against them without losing everything they hold dear. Something happened between her friend and one of them, and she’s going to find out what. She'll bring them down and make sure they stay down.

Be Warned: sex toys, public exhibition, anal sex

 

Excerpt:

She hated how she responded to him. The thickness of his arms. His muscular body. The way she knew he’d hurt her if given the chance.

There was something hard and rough about him.

He made her ache in ways she’d never experienced.

He stepped into the room and she stayed in her spot, waiting, watching. He could pounce at any second.

Did she want him to do that? To take what he wanted?

Axton was a cold man to the core. She’d read the stories about him, and months later seen the news of how old kiss-and-tell flames had suddenly been met with huge bills, unpaid debts, and facing homelessness.

Going up against this man had consequences. If you didn’t take him down, he’d push you into the dirt and leave you to rot.

He was, after all, a businessman.

Suddenly, he stepped up close.

She didn’t back down, nor did she cower away.

Staring into his dark brown eyes, she waited.

“You didn’t lodge a complaint about me.”

“We weren’t in working hours.” She held in her gasp as his hand went to the counter beside her hip. His arm so close to her, and yet, he still didn’t touch. They weren’t touching at all, but he was close.

Anyone who came into the bathroom would think they were kissing.

“I don’t know what you think you’re up to, Taylor, but be warned, I’m aware.”

“I’m not up to anything.”

“I’m not a stupid man. Ten years have gone by since I last saw you. You magically appear out of thin air and you expect me to believe it’s all down to wanting to work hard.”

“You have a problem with my work ethic?” she asked.

“You’re one of the hardest-working people I know.”

She ran her gaze down to his lips, wanting them on her. Licking her own in return, she stared back up at him. “Then I don’t see the problem.”

She gasped aloud as he gripped her hip and suddenly he was pressed against her. His solid body held her captive, keeping her in place. She couldn’t move.

Placing her hands on his chest, she stared up at him. “What are you going to do?” she asked. “We are in working hours.”

“Whatever the fuck you’re doing, stop it. Whatever it is you think you’re after, you won’t find it.”

She tilted her head to the side. “So much paranoia locked up in one package. Tell me, Axton, do you think the entire world is against you?”

He leaned in close, so close they shared the same air.

“I don’t think it. I know it. Be careful here, Taylor. I’d hate to see anything bad happen to you.”

Sam Crescent does an amazing job with this longer length dark romance. Taylor is probably the most determined heroine I have ever met. I mean seriously the lengths she went to to end up where she is today is remarkable and a bit unsettling. Axton is an enigma. This is the first hero I’ve ever encountered by this author who didn’t immediately reveal his feelings for the heroine. I must say I missed that; there is just something about powerful Alpha males who know what they want and leave me the reader and the heroine in no doubt as to his desires. I loved how intense Axton is and I loved seeing them let their guards down with one another. I enjoyed the connection between the Four Kings, however I’m not a fan of flashbacks although it did reveal a lot of insight. I’m looking forward to seeing the other royal guys find their matches and learning a little bit more about them beyond the facade they present to the public. Over all this is yet another well written, sexy read from one super talented author and I suggest you pick it up because I doubt you’ll be as picky as I am. The Story: It’s been years since Taylor pulled her best friend’s body out of the lake but she’s been preparing and waiting for this day. Now is her chance to take down the man she knows is responsible for that death she just needs to discover which of the Four Kings it is.

Written by Naughty Reviews on 22nd Aug 2018

Just when you think you have this book figured out.. Boom ..nope. I couldn't put Axton down. The suspense kept me on the edge of my set. I went from loving him to hating him. The steam between the sheets is off the charts.

Awesome
Written by Traci on 22nd Aug 2018

OMG!!!! Sam once again you nailed it!!!! Axton was Awesome...I don't even know where to begin. The four kings were four rich spoiled jerks in high school who thought money was everything. I couldn't stand them...Carla and Taylor were best friends and Taylor was determined to find out what happened to her best friend she knew that Carla didn't kill herself. Axton was always in love with Taylor this book was filled with mystery,secrets, sex and love. I would recommend this book because it's just so damn good and Sam Crescent is an awesome author.

Different for this author.....in a really good way!
Written by Amazon Customer on 22nd Aug 2018

Wow! I really enjoyed this story. This is different than I’ve read from her before. This book was very engaging and thought provoking. It kept me wanting to turn the next page to see what’s next. Lots of mystery and great story telling. Axton and Taylor were hard to like a lot of the time. They were both wrong and did things that were questionable to make things right. I look forward to the next in this series.

A Must Read!!!
Written by Violet on 18th Aug 2018

Such an intense beginning for the series. Very well explained and I loved it the characters developed well and I like the flash back scenes. Axton and Taylor are made for each other. Love this new series, can't wait for more from the series. Thank you Sam Crescent for another great book!

amazing book
Written by Simona M on 18th Aug 2018

OMG, this book blows my mind because i did not expect to love this story so much. Along with book Betrayal this the best work from the author from the books i read. I think she should stick with longer books. Axton is 270 page so you have enough space for a story and characters development. Tylor and Axton captived me from the first page i really coudn' t stop reading i wanted to know what happens next In the begging of the book i was scared this will be F/MMM type of a story, i just simple don ' t read those type of books and i was scared to start reading and connect with the h and H and then get a big disappointment,so i ask the author and she said it's safe book only M/F and i was so relieved . Tylor and Axton is about people who made wrongs things in order to make everything right. This story is about revenge, about forgiveness, about changing yourself but in the middle is the epic love between Axton and Tylor. I loved Axton, he is such an alpha and possessive hero, he loved her for years, everything he did is to protect her.

Loved it
Written by Fay on 18th Aug 2018

Sam Crescent has been trying out longer novels, and I have to say I am so freaking glad for this. I love her books and this one, different from her norm but so good. Taylor and Cassie were best friends, they did everything together. But Cassie has been secretive lately, but she will tell Taylor tonight, she promised. But things didn’t happen like she thought it would. Cassie was dead, killed herself, or that’s what they want people to think. But Taylor knows the truth, something happened and she knows that it has something to do with the Four Kings and not matter what happens she is going to find out what happened to her Best Friend. She is going to take down the Four Kings Empire, and nothing is going to stand in her way. This book will have you hooked from the first page, I finished it in one night. It was filled with Angst, heartbreak, action, conspiracies, murder, sex and money. What more could you need from a good book. I definitely can’t wait for the next one in this series. Awesome Read
