'TITAN' is the first full length book in new to me author's Shantel Tessier's 'Dark Kings' series. This story focuses on Emilee and Titan, (Titan is one of the Dark King's)
What a complex tantalising story this one turned out to be, though I was expecting it to be a little bit darker than it was I was still engrossed with the story throughout. The twisty little twist and turns this threw up had me rejoicing with how blindsided I was, I never saw them coming!!
From start to finish I loved ever ...more
Titan is the first book in the highly anticipated Dark Kings series by Shantel Tessier. When I first heard about it, I knew that I HAD TO HAVE IT. Everything that Shantel writes is like kindle crack to me, and I just can't get enough. Her books are dark and thrilling, angsty and suspenseful, completely addicting and steamy as hell. And Titan was no different. It's a dangerously dark and delicious tale that will have your heart racing while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

I wanted to like this book. I really, really did. And maybe it's because I haven't read COS yet, but I was just lost throughout the entire book. But that's not even my main problem; the problem was the supposed romance between Titan and Emilee.
Some background:
So Titan has always wanted Emilee, but she was in a relationship with his best friend Bone, so he acted like he couldn't stand her but really he's been in love with her for years. Emilee had something tragic happened to her and she left tow ...more

Titan was everything I had hoped for and more. Dark, gritty, and steamy, with a perfect blend of romance and angst. Shantel has created an amazing new world in the Dark Kings and four hot alphaholes I cannot get enough of. Bring on book two!

What’s this book about? (I'm trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
Titan isn’t a sweetheart. He’s a ruthless King. He doesn’t bow to no one. There’s one person that has always escaped his hold. Emilee York. But it’ll be her turn soon.
Emilee left Las Vegas, but when tragedy struck, she made a return. What will keep her in Sin City?

Reread! EXCELLENT! So whatever happens in Vegas DOESN'T stay in Vegas!
This was my first time reading Shantel Tessier and OMG can she weave a story! The drama, the suspense, the characters and the raw sexual tension were all there in this dark tale! This was one book that I couldn't tell where this story was going and I really enjoyed the surprises ingrained throughout this intense story!

A King always finds his queen.
I have been dying for the dark kings books ever since I fell in love with them in Code of Silence and Titan did not disappoint.
Men like us don’t fall in love. Not every King needs a Queen.
These guys are mossy, broody, sexy, possessive alphas and when it comes to their women they will do anything to protect them.

“No matter where she goes. A King always finds his queen.”
I first read Shantel last year with her Dare series and ever since then, I have been quick to 1-click all of her books. They’re always dark and intense, addicting and thrilling, insanely hot and utterly captivating.
Titan is the very anticipated beginning of the Dark Kings series. We have all been dying to read more about these men ever since meeting them in Code of Silence.

I love this world and so happy to be back!
Shantel delivers yet another suspenseful, fast paced and VERY sexy book!
Titan is every bit the alpha you crave and on top of that you still get a dose of the other kings— I seriously can’t wait for Bones’ book 🙌🏼
Emilee is at rock bottom and is trying to dig herself out and she happens to end up with the help of the King’s.
There’s history, sizzling hot moments, twists, turns, blood shed and happy endings!

Dark, mafia romance. Oh man, I was left confused reading this one because there's just so much drama and so many things going on! I liked Titan, he was your typical arrogant alpha male. He showed his soft side here and there too but the other characters fell flat for me and this story was a little bit of a mixed for me.

This was the type of book from the moment I started this book I forgot all my problems and I had become so obsessed with these characters and their story.
They say it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, well it took me 21 one words from this book to make me form a habit. An addiction to the dark kings.
This author will have you eating out of the palm of her hand, everything has just flowed so smoothly and it’s taking me on a wild ride. A ride that I didn’t expect. They do say the unexpected ...more

When I read the Code of Silence for the first time, my mind was completely blown. Then there was this mystery of Bones and Titan and I was just so excited for this book!!! and let me tell you that, Shantel tessier did not disappoint me in any way!!
This book was everything a book can be. It was full of suspense, a little bit of humor and sooo much sexiness. I just loved all those kinky scenes by the author. Every twist in this book had me gripping the edge of my seat ...more

After finding out she used to fuck bones I skimmed the whole thing. Ended up liking bones a hell of a lot so I decided I wouldn’t stand for any other pairing. I am therefore finished with this series : ) probably. Maybe? Ok I lied, I will most likely read bones book when it comes out.
Holy Hotness!!! This story is FIRE! The author does not hold back with these sexy alphas. Not only wealthy and powerful but completely irresistible.
Emilee left her home town with no plans of ever returning. When her mom got sick, she left her new life behind and headed back home. Since then, everything has fallen apart. A dying mother and a father that had a sudden heart attack and died. She's left picking up the pieces.

First, this was my first time reading Shantel Tessier and holy shit was it good!! This book will have your heart pounding, head spinning and your whole body on fire! If you haven’t picked this up yet, what are you even doing with your life? Titan is sort of a spin-off of Code of Silence, which I didn’t know at the time of signing up for this ARC. I will definitely be reading Code of Silence so I can get more of a glimpse ...more
Love this author! She’s new to me. This is the second book I’ve read from her back to back.
If you like your books dirty sexy and full of love then this is the series for you.
Very well written. Loved every minute of this ride!!

Spoken In: Dual Perspectives - Titan/Emilee
Rating 3.5 Stars ⭐️
Titan is a full length standalone novel in Shantel Tessier's new Dark King series.
I was pretty excited to read this book, I've read a few books from Shantel in the past and loved them and I'm quite into mafia romances at the moment but this one fell a little flat. I liked it, but I didn't LOVE it. I was a little confused and felt like there was too much going on. I tried really hard to connect with the ma ...more

I don’t understand this book at all! I’m so confused. So Emilee, the main character, is a prostitute, slept with Bones and now dating Titan but he’s also an asshole who treats her bad? But why the constant Bone stuff? This book is weird because it’s about Emilee and her ex Bone who is Titans best friend but then Titan and Emilee are dating? I don’t get it and I can’t finish it ugh! I’m confused on the 4 star review
“I’ve loathed this woman since grade school, but a part of me has always wanted her. She was like an itch you can’t scratch. A high you could never reach. She was unobtainable. Until now.”
I have been waiting on this series since I found out about it after reading Code of Silence so I don’t need to go into just how pumped up I am that the first installment is finally here.

“No matter where she goes. A King always finds his queen”
There’s a new alpha on the block, Titan and he’s going all out to win your heart. I love jealous, possessive alphas and Titan is up there with the best of them.
Emilee is back home in Vegas, returning for her father’s funeral. After the funeral, her life as she knows is about to change dramatically and is blackmailed into something she doesn’t want to do but has to in order to help her mum.

⭐️ 4 "His Queen" Stars ⭐️
Last fall, back when I read Code of Silence, I was instantly intrigued by the Dark Kings. These four friends leading an empire in Las Vegas looked like bad guys and I was excited about their own books. I was so eager to dive into Titan and discover more about this foursome of vicious men with lots of secrets and darkness.
The plot line of the novel was very interesting and kept me invested all read long with the high level of suspense. Emilee and Titan’s chemistry was ...more
