"She's angry and she's heartbroken and all Zoe needs right now is to vent and let her anger out. If that has to be at me, then I'll take it. I can be a punching bag for her."

B. Lybaek and Sarah JD have done it again, and I am obsessed! The first in their latest series Cruz Kings MC, Tempted By A King is one you don't wanna miss. 

If I could've read this in one sitting, I would have.

After Zoe's dad starts working the new MC accountant, Grayson and Gunner keep a close eye on Zoe, in more ways than one. When the club gets thrown into chaos, Zoe is kept by the MC until the debt is repaid. 

Grayson and Zoe's relationship is so unique and toxic in many ways. The spoiled princess and the MC VP. When fate throws them together, you get the nitty grity details of their relationship, and just constantly root for them.

I loved getting both of their perspectives, you really get into their thoughts and just know what both of them are feeling in those moments.

AND THAT CLIFFHANGER, I SWEARRRR. 

I need the next one like NOW.
