An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take,
whether legal or moral.
At six years old, Myla was
sent to a family her father and mother had chosen for her when they knew their
time on earth was almost up. What they were unaware of was what they thought
would be her safe haven would become her living hell.
Kai has been watching Myla
from afar since he took over the family business from his father and inherited
the responsibility of keeping her safe. When word gets back to Kai that Myla is
not only in danger, but that his assets are being compromised, he immediately
jumps into action and does the only thing that can be done at the time by
marrying her.
Neither Myla nor Kai would
have thought that something that started off as a farce would become the most
important thing either of them could've ever done.
“Everyone is looking for
you.”
I turn my head, pulling my
hair out of my face as I watch a boy I’ve never seen before climb up the stairs
and into my tree house.
“Who are you?” I ask him as
he sits across from me.
“Kai,” he smiles, looking
around. He looks a lot different than the other kids I know. His hair is long,
and his skin is a lot darker than mine. “Why are you hiding?”
I shrug and look away from
him. Daddy was yelling earlier; he was so mad that he was turning red. Then
Mommy started crying, and Daddy started yelling louder. I heard Mommy telling
Daddy that he had to send me away. I don’t want to go away. I try to be good,
but sometimes, I forget to listen.
“Why are you crying?”
I look up at him and wipe
my face. “I’m scared,” I whisper, wiping my nose.
“Come on. I’ll protect
you,” he says, holding his hand out to me.
Then my mommy calls my name
again. I look at his hand, move Mr. Bear under my arm, and put my hand in his.
“Myla!” Mommy yells,
running towards me.
I can tell she has been
crying again.
“Where did you go?” Her
hands grab my shoulders and she shakes me hard.
“It’s my fault. I asked her
to show me the tree house,” Kai tells her.
She stops shaking me then
looks at him. “You shouldn’t have done that. You knew we were looking for her,”
she says angrily her head.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t
thinking,” Kai says softly, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the
ground.
I look back at Mommy, and
she shakes her head before grabbing my hand and pulling me with her. When I
look over my shoulder at Kai, he smiles, making me smile back.
Obligation (Underground Kings Series #2) by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Not as satisfying as I hoped.
I really liked Kai. Who wouldn't like a 6'7 tall drink of water? He's HOT. He's ALPHA. He has money. He a bad boy who wants to change. The location is great. There are adequate steamy sex scenes that are NOT overly done. There is drama. There is a likeable heroine, Myla and a GREAT HEA........but SOMETHING is missing. Uggh!!
I enjoyed Kai and Myla's story and I have book one of the series, Assumption and when I get some free time I plan to read it and if I'm happy with it I will read book three in the series, Distraction. I really could have rated it a 3 because of the missing factor but because I liked the couple and the story I gave it a 4.
NOW AVAILABLE
