BLURB
He’s supposed to be the ruler of this kingdom.
The prince poised to take his rightful place on the pitch.
Instead, he plays the jester, shunning his legacy.
Only I am privy to his lion heart.
Kingston Phillips is the heir to England’s football dynasty. The offspring of two of the world’s greatest players, the expectations set on his shoulders could crush the universe. But the golden-haired Adonis chooses to live his life as a game; a series of nightclubs, brawls, pranks and different kit chasers parading through his sheets.
I’m the last woman he should chase, and I’ve told him so. My cheeky mouth and icy demeanor guard the secret no one can learn. But when the Casanova I’ve been avoiding becomes the bloke next door, he quickly begins to thaw the frost around my heart. Kingston shows me the ferocious, loyal, protective side of himself that no one else gets to witness.
I begin to realize that he’s just as damaged as I am.
That as much as I try to deny it, we’re the same.
And ... that might just be our undoing.
MY OPINION
Carrie Aarons is in special place in my heart with her books. All of them are so sensitive, delicate and beautiful. Also all of them have difficult subjects in their plot and this made them so perfect.
With 'The Lion Heart' the second book in 'The Rouge Academy' series it was the same thing. I love Poppy and Kingston story.
Kingston Phillips is a famous soccer player, but he doesn't feel right with his fame. His father and grandfather were the greatest soccer players too and now Kingston must copes their abilities. He lives with fun and he doesn't care about the world. He just need good alcohol, girls and his best friends.
Poppy Raymond is a model. She is a model since she has fifteen years old. Between photo sessions in studio and signings the new model contracts, she have a fashion shows. She doesn't have time for a bad boy, whos life in the flat next to her. Every day she try to avoid Kingston, but Phillips isn't gonna let it go and finally, his mission has a success.
But what next?
Does Poppy will find time for soccer boy?
Does Kingston will grow out from pleasures?
Again, Carrie Aarons wrote a great book! 'The Lion Heart' is not only sport romance. We have here a problems. Kingston must meet the demands of his father. Poppy need to open herself and reveal the secret which she has deep in her heart.
In 'The Lion Heart' we meet again Jude and Aria from 'The Second Coming', the first book in series. Also we meet Vance. I really can't wait for his book!
I like heroes in this book. Both, Poppy and Kingston are famous people, but Carrie wrote about fame without unicorns, hearts and flowers. Is a tough work with no private. But you know, money isn't everything.
'The Lion Heart' is a great sport romance with sharp, but sweet reality. You must read this story!
