Publisher's Summary

They say that every tragic hero has a fatal flaw, a secret sin, a tiny stitch sewn into his future since birth. And here I am. My sins are no longer secret. My flaws have never been more fatal. And I've never been closer to tragedy than I am now.

I am a man who loves, a man whose love demands much in return. I am a king, a king who was foolish enough to build a kingdom on the bones of the past. I am a husband and a lover and a soldier and a father and a president. And I will survive this.

Long live the king.

Absolutely loved this!

What a great story! The three in the series were a wonderful tale of love and I loved hearing the different perspectives of each MC

Wonderful story

I feel really torn over this series. It was incredible and so full of emotion and deep characters and a strong story line. However having 1 male voice actor play 2 different leading men, occasionally got confusing. Sometimes it took away from how incredible the story was. The final book was slow to start but a great finish.

It had to be…

I know this story had to be told, but I feel like it was a bit toooooooooo far. The change in the pronunciation of Patroclus from the book before was my first trigger, and the hits just kept coming… I couldn’t not finish the series, but this is a sad/silly end to a bangin’ story!

AMAZING

This was the perfect end to the series. The ups and downs gutted me then put me back together. The narration is perfect. All in all, a fantastic series!

3.5 Stars

Much happier with the jumps between present and past than American Prince. The ending was sudden but then sweet and then sexy

It finished by linking back to the series title but still was a little random and weird in my opinion. Very glad we got the time jump but frustrated with the fake death. I was mad at how easy he was forgiven but I understand

DNF

I didn’t finish, struggled through the first chapter, skipped some hoping it would improve. I just couldn’t get into the story, was VERY slow paced.

5 star read!!

Incredible writing and a tumultuous angsty read that will have you feeling all the emotions throughout!
Sexy, political (in a good way) and a mythical story incredibly reimagined.
The narrators do an amazing job too
