The covert menage scenes were heartbreaking in the pure need they all expressed but couldn't bridge. There are always things to learn from Sierra Simone's incredibly creative sex scenes, but the sex in American King had an even more intimate and almost desperate feel to them. And the political intrigue was delicious, from Embry leaving his office because he didn't think Ash was keeping Greer safe, to Ash's covert operation to deal with Melwas, to Abilene's quest to cause as much pain and chaos as possible in the name of obsessive love.Īs one would expect the sex was ample, intimate, and very, very kinky. In fact, our Merlin brought the connection firmly into the narrative, which I found an interesting plot choice. The Arthurian touches that were mostly subtle in the first two books became bold, unequivocal strokes in this one, more front-and-center than subtle touches.

Which I loved, but I know some readers won't, so this is probably not for your reader who needs an adrenaline fix with her literature. This final installment had a very heavy focus on character development and emotional growth, making it was light on action. This entire trilogy was gorgeous, filthy, and riveting like every Sierra Simone book I've read.

I'll keep King spoilers to a minimum, but I assume you've read Queen and Prince. American Queen so thoroughly captivated me that I devoured the second book, American Prince (review here) and had to wait impatiently for the final installment, American King, which finally released on Halloween, and I read as quickly as I could.Ĭome with me through the jump and I'll tell you why you should definitely pick up the New Camelot trilogy now that it's wrapped up with a strong, dominant, triangle-shaped bow.

Regular readers will recall that many of us were blown away by Sierra Simone's Priest, which led me to her fabulous romp, P*rn Star(review here), and the first installment in what would become her New Camelot series, American Queen (review here).
