They
say the price of freedom is learning that you have nothing left to lose.
There was a time when I had it all. Money. Power. Love. And in the blink of an
eye, it was gone.
Along the road to my new life, I have a chance meeting with Cecilia Abernathy.
Born to greatness, this American princess is out of my league. That doesn’t
mean I don’t see her for the woman she is behind the headlines. In a rare
glimpse I see not only her outward beauty but her inner determination. I’m
moved by her in ways I don’t allow myself to ponder.
Time passes and I’m moving forward, persevering beyond my loss, and making a
new name for myself. And then I’m given an assignment.
One job.
One quest.
If I succeed, my kingdom will be at hand.
If I fail, there will be no more chances.
Men like me aren’t saviors, and that isn’t my assignment. My mission is to find
the daughter of one of the most powerful men in New York, in the country, and
maybe the world. Find her and deliver her to her family’s rival.
Cecilia Abernathy has been kidnapped. All I have to do is exchange her current
hell for another. And then I can walk away and claim my reward.
Has my taste of freedom made me willing to sell my soul for a kingdom?
Find out the answer in Kingdom Come, a dangerous forced-proximity
stand-alone romance by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

With this one, I have done something I rarely do with an Aleatha Romig story. I
took my time. A little back story: I had a biopsy done while reading and this
story took me away (as with all stories I read) from the worry and waiting for
results. The good news, the results were negative.
Now to this awesome story. Author Aleatha Romig has done it again, she has
brought to life another anti-hero (or so it seems) with a past that will have
you wondering where his life will take him.
Greyson is the kind of guy you will love to hate, the perfect guy for Romig
fans. He is strong, independent, trustworthy, lost, and maybe damned. He is
also the perfect hero in this story, even though he thought he was sent to
rescue Cecilia, after everything they go through, I think she rescued him.
Cecilia is a strong independent woman and when her family tries to force her
into something, she refuses. It takes a very strong person to go against the
family, but when the family is seriously wrong, Cecilia will fight with all she
has to make things right.
This story is filled with suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat
until the end, you will be intrigued and awed at the writing of this story.
Wondering how it will end and hoping for the best for Greyson and Cecilia.
If you haven't read anything from this author yet, I highly recommend this one.
You will fall in love with these characters and this author's writing style.

Okay, so if you've read Romig before, you'll know what I mean when I say that
Romig has a way of writing an anti-hero that you can't help but cheer for. Greyson
is the guy who you want to root against, but find yourself rooting for. He's
complicated, kind, fierce, a little lost, believes he's a lot damaged, and
believes he has no heart left. He has lived a mysterious life that you only get
glimpses of. Romig has you wanting to know so much more about his past life.
Cecilia is strong, independent, naïve, and unwilling to bend to what her family
wants. When she finds herself the object of a kidnapping, she can't help but
wonder where her family is. They were always supposed to protect her. She now
has to dig deep to find within herself, the will to survive, defy, and thrive.
I loved watching Cecilia and Greyson wind their way through the twists and
turns, ups and downs, and complete maze that Romig wrote. It's fun,
enthralling, all encompassing, and you won't be disappointed. You'll stay up
late, hiding under the covers to finish this one and feel a sense of calm at
the end. I highly recommend this book!

Aleatha Romig's newest book, Kingdom Come, was an interesting mix of
darkness, suspense, romance, and light. I felt like I was reading two stories
as the beginning half is a world away from the second half.
Cecilia Abernathy is the sole heir to the Abernathy-Dellinger dynasty in New York
City. The granddaughter (and daughter) of a very powerful family has found
herself in a terrible place and an awful situation. (I will not go into detail,
nor will I spoil this story, but I will mention this is the darkest part of
this book.) She is strong, resilient, and I instantly loved her.
Greyson Ingalls has a checkered past – we don't really know who he is or what's
he's done, but he's basically a mercenary-for-hire. He's introduced himself to
the big players in the crime world and has just gotten himself hired for a job
that's way bigger than he could've imagined.
I really liked both the main characters; I usually find myself liking one more
than the other but that's not the case here. The story was gripping, twisty,
exciting, and infuriating, and I really enjoyed it!
Upon completion, I find myself wanting (or needing, really) to know more about
Greyson's past. I want to know about his past life and how he got to this
point.
