About this ebook

I needed a job and a place to live, but after getting snowed in with an older oil tycoon I have to find a way to cool off first. 

From Marie Johnston comes an age gap, snowed-in with a dash of workplace romance.

I got laid off and kicked out of the house I was sharing with my ex—on the same day. Faced with moving home and being put back in charge of my five siblings, I jump at a mysterious job interview. The only catch is that I hitch a ride with a local oil tycoon…on his private jet. 

Gentry King is also the single dad of the guy I’m interviewing with. Dads aren’t supposed to be that sexy in a suit, ooze power, or make me suddenly desire older men. All I have to do is get through one meeting in the middle of nowhere and then I can go my own way. 

Only a snow storm strands us in a small town. Gentry and I find the last hotel room available, and I’m so relieved when we get into the room I almost don’t freeze solid at the sight of one bed. I don’t need to risk my chances by sleeping with Gentry, but once I wake up next to him I don’t have a snowball’s chance in a fire pit of resisting.

King's Crown is a standalone novel in the Oil Kings series.

This had me entranced. It's an older man, younger woman romance that's complex and passionate that it was hard to put down. Gentry and Kendall have their work cut out for them. Their attraction is instant but both control themselves because there are other things at play and as hard as it is to move past their attraction and connection, it's hard. The pull and chemistry they have is explosive and I loved being able to see them maneuver everything and grow and move past all the obstacles. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book was a pleasant surprise. I usually avoid older man/younger woman romance books at all costs. King's Crown took a slightly different direction. Although there was a 20 year age difference between Gentry and Kendall, Kendall was an old soul. She shouldered a ton of responsibility from an early age, and was still carrying a load for her family. Gentry had issues with his son's stemming from their mother's death, and his subsequent behavior during the years after her death. Gentry found a strong, independent, intelligent woman that have him both a reason and the strength to stand up to his former mother in law, as well as lay down the law with his sons. Gentry and Kendall have a number of situations to overcome such as money, jobs, family, etc. before they reach their HEA. It will be interesting to see how this series progresses. I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
