Just Like That

The Kings

By: Lena Hendrix

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Samantha Brentmoor

He’s my sister’s ex, a stubborn jerk, and completely off-limits. Getting a man to give up custody of a son he didn’t know existed should have been easy. Trouble is, nothing with JP King is ever easy. Suave, grumpy billionaires aren’t supposed to have strong hands or filthy mouths, and I never expected our snippy banter to be so much fun.

JP regards me as something he scraped off the bottom of his dress shoe, but when this reluctant single dad looks at my nephew, there’s a softness there he struggles to keep hidden. He may be gruff and uptight, but something simmers beneath his controlled, polished exterior. Sure, I’m wild and reckless, but when we’re forced together as guardians, everything changes. His cold and calculated exterior melts into hushed conversations and lingering stares. The more we fight, the harder we fall.

I’m scatterbrained, unconventional, and everything he’s been missing. The closer we get, the less we understand why we were ever at odds.. . . until just like that our lives are turned upside down.

A fitting continuation of the King Family.

I love this series. It's consistently spicy and has good plots that aren't too cookie cutter.

Great read.

Good book. I haven’t read the others in the series. This was my first introduction to the author and the series. Easy, fun, lighthearted with a touch of drama. I did guess the punchline pretty early into the book but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment.
Spice was well written and just enough to be interesting and add to the story but not so much that it took away from the plot. 🌶️ 🌶️
Worth the credit.
Narrators did a super great job. The narration for the little boy was EXCELLENT.
Also, no 3rd act breakup which always makes me happy. 😊

Mixed Emotions.

I am having very mixed emotions with this one. I loved JP. I loved Hazel. Them being together was a little odd at first. But then as the pieces started coming together I loved them together. I didn’t really enjoy the witchy vibes. That is just not my thing. I didn’t love seeing more of Russell’s dishonesty and deceitfulness. He was a bad, bad man. I’m really glad the Kings have each other and that they have the Sullivans. I am glad with how things worked out for JP, Hazel and Teddy.

5 stars for sure!

The narrators gave awesome performances. Stephen Dexter was an excellent choice to portrait the cynical JP! A wonderful story!

JP King finally gets his story!

If you’ve been reading this series you’ve been waiting to hear the story about the family fixer, JP. This story did not disappoint. It has all the tension, romance and spice. Definitely tugs on the heart strings a little too. I listened to all the King stories again before I listened to this and I’m glad I did. Will read again.
