Blurb:
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.

Excerpt:

When I was twenty-two, I met a prince. He seemed to be the exact opposite of everything I was—loud where I was quiet, smiling where I frowned, careless where I was careful, careful, careful. Embry joined the Army because Vivienne Moore wanted her son to craft the perfect politician's resume. I joined because it seemed like the place to continue my never-ending quest for honor; because becoming an officer in the Army had a certain cachet in my neighborhood; because I wanted to somehow cosmically return the favor for my college scholarship; because the structure and rigid hierarchy of military life appealed to me. Most importantly, I joined because I knew Carpathia was the most dangerous place in the world at the time, and I felt needed there in a way I can't describe. It was like a barometric pressure that made my bones and teeth ache when I tried to resist it. I knew that I was supposed to be there in the same way I knew that God was real or that I was bisexual. It was a fact, even if it couldn't be seen. And after all that, then I see this lieutenant refuse to break up a fight? When we were there on the brink of war and responsible for safekeeping innocents nearby? No. I wasn't an angry person, but I was a disciplined one, and the one thing I couldn't tolerate in other people was a lack of it. I only meant to shake some sense into him, to tell him clearly and unmistakably that he wouldn't get away with that shit while I was around, but then he turned, and I saw his face for the first time. And it was over. Done. One look at those winter-blue eyes and those delicate lips and I was finished. One glance at his lean, long body, and I was falling. Every part of me responded with heat and flush and wrenching want, like a hook had been fastened somewhere in my chest and was now giving an almighty tug, and the only thing to ease the ache would be to get closer, closer, closer. I'd never seen a boy so beautiful. Haughty as he was, overindulged and so obviously dissolute, he was the loveliest person, boy or girl, I'd ever seen. I still pinned him against the wall, though. And it was when I had him against the wall with my forearm on his throat and my body trapping his that he sealed his fate. As I was choking him, he looked at me with his whole world in his eyes.

My Review:
My love for the two of you exist inside your love for each other-when you love each other, you are loving me.
I never thought I would like this book this much. I loved American Queen and it wasn't a question that I wanted to read the other books in the series. However American Prince didn't become my favorite, but that was still a good book (4*). And I really liked American King!
I love her so fucking much, and I want to give her everything- every single thing she wants and needs and wishes for, and all the things doesn't know to wish for yet- but she wants the one thing it's no longer in my power to give. The three of us.~Ash
The first part of the book was good, but the second part was what I really loved. I usually don't read MM or MMF romance, but I like how the author writes so again I have to say it wasn't a question that I wanted to read this series. Why I usually don't like MMF books? Because I don't feel the connection between the 3 people, I don't feel the love. But I didn't feel like this with this book. I felt the love not just between Greer and Ash, but between Greer and Embry, and between Ash and Embry too. They found each other, they found the way how they could be together. And somehow I understood them and I wanted them together.
We could read about the past and about the present too. It was good to read about the past, because we could understand their feelings, their connection more. And the book was written in alternate POVs (Ash, Embry, Greer) and I really loved it.
In this book we could read about another Ash. Or I thought so. We became to know the vulnerable Ash, who fell in love with a man. It was good to read about their love, about Ash feelings, he really wanted to do everything for their love.
I will love her intil the stars burn themselves out and hang like cold rocks in the lightless sky.~Ash
I only wanted to love him as my own soul for as long as I lived, and for him to let me.~Ash 
These chapters made me accept, understand their relationship, and the sex scenes between them were good to! Yes, it's a first for me that I like MM or MMF sex scenes! 😀
I liked Embry's POV, but I think my favorite chapters were those which were written in Ash' POV.
I loved the complications in the story. These made the book more interesting. And from the second part of the book I couldn't put it down.
I did know that it was more noble to love openly and honestly that to hide out of fear, I knew that loving takes courage and vulnerability, and if I had to expose my beating heart for Embry to scorn a thousand times to earn his love, then I'd do it, it would be worth it. A million times. A billion.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Véleményem:
Nem gondoltam volna, hogy ezt a könyvet majd ennyire fogom szeretni. Az első könyvet (American Queen) nagyon szerettem, ezért nem volt kérdés, hogy a sorozat többi részét is olvasni akarom. Bár az American Prince nem lett a kedvencem, de az is jó könyv volt (4*), az American King című könyvet pedig nagyon szerettem!
A könyv első része jó volt, de igazából a második rész volt az, amit szerettem jobban. Nem igazán szoktam olyan könyveket olvasni ahol pasi-pasi vagy nő-pasi-pasi felállás van. De mivel szeretem az írónő stílusát azt kell mondanom ismét, hogy nem volt kérdés, hogy elolvasom-e a könyvet. Azt hogy miért nem szeretem az olyan könyveket ahol a nő két pasival van? Azért, mert nem érzem mindannyiuk között a szerelmet, a kötődést. De ez az érzés nem jelent meg ennél a könyvnél. A szerelmet nemcsak Greer és Ash, de Greer és Embry valamint egyértelműen Ash és Embry között is éreztem. Megtalálták egymást, és rájöttek, hogyan is tudnak mindannyian együtt lenni. Együtt akartam őket látni! 
A történetben váltakozik a jelen és a múlt. Jó volt a múltról olvasni, mert így jobban megérthetőek az érzelmeik, a kapcsolatuk. Váltott nézőpontból íródott a könyv(Ash, Embry, Greer), amit nagyon szerettem.
Ebben a könyvben egy teljesen más Ash-t ismerhetünk meg. Legalábbis én így éreztem. Megsimerhettük a sebezhető Ash-t, aki beleszeretett egy férfiba. Jó volt a szerelmükről olvasni. Látható, hogy Ash mindent megtett azért, hogy együtt legyenek, mindent a szerelmükért.
Ezek a fejezetek elfogadtatták, megértették velem a kapcsolatukat. És a szex jelenetek is jók voltak. Igen, szrintem először fordul elő velem, hogy tetszettek a pikánsabb részek az ilyen jellegű könyvekben.😜
Szerettem Embry gosdolatait olvasni,de egyértelműen azok a fejezetek voltak a kedvenceim, amelyek Ash nézőpontjából íródtak. A bonyodalmak a könyvben pedig szuperek voltak, nagyon érdekessé tették a könyvet. A második felétől le se tudtam tenni.
