Can a king really change his ways, find out in 'The Sinful King' by Claire Contreras

The Sinful King by Claire Contreras

Release Date: March 5, 2020

The Sinful King, a new, sexy, 100% stand-alone novel by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras.

If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery.

Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water.

Cottages that belonged to my family.

Each of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying.

I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there.

I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task. I may be doing everything in my power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France.

Review

In this latest book, Adeline is the kind of girl that follows the rules but when it comes to Prince Elias, all that goes out the window.

It's a different kind of story from Contreras. She touches on royalty and the relationships that are formed and how they are treated with the 'commoners'. Adeline doesn't treat Elias different and of course he would find that refreshing.

The beginning was tough for me to get past. *****spoiler aleart here*****
I just thought it was a bit far fetched for my liking as she just decides after meeting this guy for ten minutes to just give him her virginity. Then of course after their time together changes everything for Elias and he of course wants to change everything for the girl.

I usually really enjoy Contreras's books. She is always able to write a captivating story with very interesting characters, but this one was hard for me to get into. There are parts that I did enjoy reading, but there was some effort to try and get through parts of it. Adeline's character was fun and I always love it when the heroine is able to 'stick it' to the male lead.

Excerpt:

“You’re nervous.”
“I am.” I swallowed. 
“I don’t normally do this.”
“That’s okay.” His lips formed a slow smile. “We’ll take it slow.”
“Should . . . should I take my mask off?” I whispered.
“Do you want to?”
“Are you going to take yours off?”
“Do you want me to?”
“Yes.” I let out a shuddering breath. “I think we should.”
He didn’t hesitate. His mask came off immediately, and even though I couldn’t fully see him, I could fully appreciate his gorgeousness. He must have been a model. Or an actor. Or something. My rapid thought process reminded me of something.
“I don’t even know your name.”
“I don’t know yours.”
“That doesn’t bother you?” I felt my eyebrows pull in.
"You’re leaving to another country tomorrow. Does it make a difference? Will it stop you from doing this?”
“No.” I pulled the mask over my head and tossed it aside. “You’re beautiful.” The tips of his fingers caressed my cheek, my lips.
“You can barely see me.”
“And yet, I know you’re beautiful.” 
He brought his lips to mine then and kissed me. My breath hitched. I brought my hands up to his face and kissed him back, parting my lips to make way for his tongue to dance with mine as my entire body came alive. His kiss was electric, his touch an awakening as his hands made their way down my body, unzipping my dress and letting it pool at our feet. He touched my naked breasts and explored my hips, stopping at the elastic of my panties. I undid his bow-tie and unbuttoned the white dress shirt he had on, my fingers fumbling on a few. When I reached his belt and undid it, I paused, breathing heavily as he broke the kiss.
“You okay?” The tip of his nose touched mine.
“Better than okay.”
“We can stop any time you’d like.”
“I don’t want to stop.” I continued working on his pants until they met the same fate as my dress, and then we stood there, chest to chest, in the middle of a darkened room, with only our underwear on. “Do you want to stop?”
“Never.”
