Who are we? Nobody really knows. We’re seven powerful heirs to empires, ruling Manhattan from our thrones on Park Avenue. By day, we’re the elite, untouchable, and more connected than you could ever imagine. By night, we revel in the darkness of our secrets, pulling strings that make the city bow to our whims.
Ruthless.
Dangerous.
We’re the Park Avenue Kings.
In this city of power and desire, where the line between love and obsession blurs, nothing is off-limits—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
***
He’s the shadow they send to make problems disappear.
Lachlan Stone thrives in the shadows, ruling his world of secrets and power with savage precision. As the most lethal of the Park Avenue Kings, he can’t afford the luxury of attachments. But when a mission takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself saving Cooper Patterson—a determined journalist who stumbles into a dangerous world far bigger than he ever imagined.
Cooper is everything Lachlan should avoid: relentless, curious, and far too tempting for his own good. Worse, his profession threatens to unravel everything Lachlan and his fellow Kings have built. Yet the pull between them is impossible to ignore, even as it sparks a firestorm of desire and danger.
With enemies closing in and the line between truth and lies growing thinner by the second, Lachlan must choose: protect his secrets, or risk it all for the man who sees the humanity in his darkness.

I really enjoyed Park Avenue Princes. And the last book in that series which gave us a glimpse of the Park Avenue Kings. So I had high hopes. And while I liked it, it was a bit…lackluster?
I understand not giving away everything in the first book, but the role of the Park Avenue Kings wasn’t really cohesive. For ultra rich men to engage with drug dealers…I don’t know. They seem more behind the scenes pulling strings from a computer kind of guys. And yes, one does that. But I mean as a whole. Having Lachlan be a boots on the ground kind of guy seemed out a place. And yes, a bit Batman.
Especially after that one thing. You’ll know.
Moving on. I did like Cooper and his mission to find out where the drugs were coming from. He was like a true reporter digging into every lead he got. He and Lachlan definitely had some scorching hot chemistry.
Lachlan seemed to break all of the rules but still got away with it. Again, it’s a cohesion thing. I need more info. I didn’t understand the secret building thing and why it was necessary. Especially considering all that is in there. Strange.
I’m coming off like I didn’t like it. I did. Honestly. Just not as much as the princes. A little more personality from everyone would go a long way. Getting a cameo of 2 of the princes helped. It felt a bit like an action movie when the hero is forced to drag along and protect the woman who got herself into trouble.
I want the rest of their stories and I will definitely read them. Even though I have a feeling the most intriguing guy (to me) will probably be the last story to be told. I will eagerly await them all.
