Cheeky King by Nana Malone
For a cute little romance, this was a bit intense. It picks up almost exactly where the first book left off. Sebastian is now king (almost, they still have to have the funeral and his coronation). He and Penny aren't together and neither is doing well. He decides exposure therapy is the way to go and moves her to is detail. That doesn't work; they are both miserable and struggling to keep their hands to themselves. The vote about acknowledging the royal bastards goes fine but Lucas is still not out to the public yet. Penny's dad discovers that the King was poisoned. Penny get attacked by Ashton, Sebastians cousin but she doesn't tell him about it. She quits her job and goes back to New York. She moves in with Lucas and works on her painting. Sebastian finds her and shows up, but immediately has to leave because Ashton has been found. Sebastian exiles him to an island off the coast of Greenland and freezes his accounts so he no longer has access to any money or the lifestyle he is accustomed to. Sebastian goes back to New York and he is waiting at a gallery, which he set up to show Pennys' paintings. They go back to his apartment, where all of this started, and Robert (Pennys ex who she caught kissing her brother) shows up and holds them a gunpoint. Turns out, he is a bastard from the kings older brother who abdicated the throne. He wants the throne and is planning on killing Penny and Sebastian to get it. But, the guys from Blake Security show up when their guards don't respond to their check in and they capture Robert who Penny shot in the arm. Sebastian and Penny get married and the book ends with Lucas meeting a woman who is running away from the wedding. This sets up the next couple really well and I am looking forward to more from this series.
