Blurb


A deliciously steamy enemies with benefits romance.


Declan McAvoy. Voted Biggest Flirt. Highest goal scorer in Kings of Rittenhouse Prep history.

Everyone’s impressed, well except one person…


After a blow out in high school, Makenna Halstead and I were happy to never have to cross paths again. Except life has a way of knocking you straight in the teeth with a puck when you least expect it. She hasn’t just returned to my life, she crashed into it like a wrecking ball...into my college kingdom, into my class, and smack dab into the seat next to mine. My new lab partner to be exact.



For years we hated each other... I may be King on the ice, but she is the Ice Queen. She has no problem calling me out, doesn’t back down, and her piercing blue eyes have me picturing more than than just my arms wrapped around her.



Now we’re stuck with each other and there’s no getting around that fact that we have to work together. My hockey career hangs in the balance. Problem? Oh, yeah.



I can’t deny it. I want her. More than I ever thought I could want a woman. I’ve got one semester–only four months–to convince her everything she thought about me was wrong.



Will my queen let me prove to her I’m the King she can’t live without?


Only one way to find out…

I’ve seen Maya Hughes’s books around for a while now. I hadn’t read her yet but once I saw this cover, I just knew I had to read this! Doesn’t it just look like Dec is reaching out to you… well, me, I mean. He’s reaching for me with those ocean blue eyes and I couldn’t resist him! I’m just so thrilled to have read this book! I was so tickled with the writing and the storyline that I read it within 24 hours. I just couldn’t stop and wanted more. There was so much heat and humor that it was such a fun read. It made me think back to a simple and fun time during college… ahhhh, the good ol’ days! 

If you are a lover of really steamy… like your Kindle might just burn your hands hot, with some funny banter and an enemies to frienemies with benefits type of college romance with a very small smidge of sports added in… then Shameless King could not be more perfect! Declan is the man every man (college student) wants to be and every woman wants to be with. He’s charismatic and fun plus he’s Hockey King and everyone wants a piece of him. Well, except ice queen Makenna from high school. Now, here they are in college thinking they’ve finally gotten away from their nemesis only to find them walking the same halls… in the same class… and now they find themselves lab partners. Fun and banter will ensue! They find the hate turning to lust and long nights of homework to nights bursting with sexual tension!

These two were hot as Hades! I loved that it was a bit lighter in the angst… I mean, this is college, but it wasn’t as angst as it could have been and I appreciate it! I hate it when its way more angsty than it needs to be! Maya Hughes really spent her time and developed the characters. I felt like they were strong characters and I really was invested in this story due to the way it was put together. I do kind of wish we got more of the friends added in. I loved the first few chapters were we got a bit more of sports aspect of it. This could be because I just wanted more of the secondary characters too… they were just as fantastic!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
