About the author

She thought she would only write contemporary at first but soon found her love for making worlds. So now she writes it all. With her wild imagination, expect lots of different stories, from fairies ruling to vampires killing everyone, to the sweet loving between two men, passion between two fierce women, or the love of multiple partners. She believes that everyone deserves love even if not all of her characters get it right away. Love is passionate, hot, needy, confusing, painful, fulfilling, and all-consuming.

Like all the previous ones. A new fellow is added who is surly and annoying.

The book does not end in a cliff hanger exactly - just with: "And now! The Big Thing! Coming Up!" .... and the next book is out in ?June 23. Be Ye Warned.

How good would this series be with proper editing. Including a developmental edit and good alpha and beta readers. Perhaps she can rewrite them in a few years time.

Titos is, most definitely, a king to be loved

Honestly, what was Mila thinking? Wouldn’t it make more sense for her to groom Titos in a way to encourage him to love her? That would have been a much more likely path to getting her way, and keeping him under her manipulative thumb.

Is there a power manipulating this whole thing? The gods don’t seem to have the fate of the world, or the Eidoli, as a high priority - at least not Titos’ father. And yet, everything leading up to Titos’ impending godhood seems to be following a fated path. And each of his Keepers make the whole team greater than the sum of their individual efforts; like they were designed to fit together to support each other, and their king.

Who is preventing Titos from remembering Jasper? Why? What did the marks which were dealt with in this book do? And does a mark still work on an ascended god?

I can’t believe I’m saying this…

It feels like there’s too much sex and not enough story in this one. It’s still a really good story but we didn’t get enough time with all the keepers. But it’s also the perfect ending point for the TBC. At least Brea didn’t stop a chapter sooner.. (Thank you for that, Brea!)
I think once this story is complete it will make a really excellent book bundle.

I thought this was going to be the last book, so I entered with a bittersweet feeling, but luckily for me there seems to be another one coming! Yay!
In other news, this book wrecked my heart in all the best ways and I'm still not over it. Brea is certainly a master in feelings.

At this point I only have myself to blame for finishing this series when I wasn’t enjoying it after the first book. So I’ll keep my complaints to storyline and characters. I felt no emotional. One room to any of the characters after 5 books. Their actions make no sense, and the “plot twists” came out of left field. The ending annoyed me immensely. The shock value of killing off your entire cast in the last chapter just to have it instantly undone is lazy writing at best.

Well written, but too much porn

Well written, but too much porn and not enough story for me. I did like the ending. But I don't think I will read the next one. I felt like I flipped past half of the book, because I got tired of all the sex. It felt like the actual story was rushed, so to get back to the sex.

!?!

Okay. Let me first by saying Brea you are talented I haven’t been engaged in a series in a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time but, why did you have to do me dirty like that? Everything was never expected the characters are hard not to love. Let me also say the way these men cherish Tito’s *chefs kiss

Thank you so much for making a series I absolutely love!

Not the final book

I'm a little annoyed that I was led to believe this was the final book and it is not, in fact, the final book. The majority of the ongoing unanswered questions still aren't answered and there isn't a release date for the final book yet.

As with all the other books, there are MAJOR spelling and grammar errors.

[Elodie Melody · Rating 4 out of 5]

I will rate the whole serie here

Story could have been deeper but it was unfortunately shoved under too much smut.
I love the harem part BUT I couldn’t fall in love with the last addition as they came in so fast 😰
It’s totally insta love but in a blink Jasper, Veto and Henning were here and there.

The story is intriguing, honestly more story and less smut would have been the best.

[Monesapula Nosizwe Manake · Rating 4 out of 5]

What's happening? I really thought this would be the final chapter. We ( the readers) would be left blissfully happy that everything worked out and Titos and his men are settled and happily in love, living their best lives. If there's more, sign me up please

4.75 stars

This series is going to be bittersweet when it is all said and done. Hopefully book 6 will not be to far behind!!!

[Val · Rating 2 out of 5]

I give up.

[Hani · Rating 1 out of 5]

I'm very sorry I didn't quit-read from the previous book. Turns out, this is not the final book. A sixth book was supposed to be published in 2023 but two years later, it isn't even 50% done according to the author's website. So I don't even have the actual ending to lean on in hopes of recovering from the trauma that is this book. The content warnings was completely inadequate. All it said was "A King to be Loved contains a HFN ending, scenes with multiple partners, blood play, and a king who just wants to be loved." The least you could warn is that there is SUPPORTING CHARACTER DEATH, not to mention betrayal. It's better not to put a warning at all, rather than a misleading warning, so people can look up content warnings elsewhere instead of being blindsided.

I love these books, but if you add another with more drama, you’re taking his way too far for me to stop reading books

I really like this book, but there is so much a person can take let them in and his keepers live in peace. Five books is enough. Why did you drag this out for another book? He was able to get his man back. He should be able to set up the council and let that man live in peace with his keepers. This is ridiculous now.

[Hal_the_Homo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh my gosh, that final twist was crazy! Ginger betrayed everyone and although I should be surprised, I’m not. But is Titos a god now? I mean he did eat his keepers souls but Mazki brought them all back.

Klaido/Kladio/Kalido and his mom are finally dead though, so that’s a plus. Although the description of their deaths was described more clearly than the entire battle at Mila’s Castle. It just felt a bit rushed.

[Bente Støtland · Rating 1 out of 5]

I liked the all the books, this one included. There were a bit too much smut, but what destroyed this book for me was the ending. Ginger killed all your 10 mates, the loves of your life and you still don’t hate her, how, just how. And then hesitating and feeling guilty even tho she Killed all of your mates, no. Yes, they don’t “die”, but Tito’s still didn’t know that then.

Rollercoaster read

It's one of the best harem series I've ever read. It wraps you up into a fantasy of love, brutality, and heated sex. The characters make you love them;to just win any battle they come across; to conquer all.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

WOW - each books leaves a mark but this one, left so much more. I enjoyed every new addition but I have to say that Jasper stole my heart! As for Ginger -- I need answers and some tissues.

[LOLA · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good series.
Scheming and drama.😆

Does anyone know what is up with the 6th book? On the day it was supposed to be released not only can you not buy it but now you can't pre order it either

[Kate · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still riddled with typos and wrong words but the story is pretty good. ends with sort of a cliffhanger but if you didn’t read book 6 you’d be fine

[Johanna prater · Rating 5 out of 5]

NOOOO

I thought this was the last book but it said to be continued…where is the other one! Lord I love this series so much!

[Daisy Sande · Rating 5 out of 5]

Give me 14 of them right now!!! ;;

[Stephanie Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

.... dude.... this one got me..... I..... I can't...... luv the book and the series.... I hope this isn't the last one

[buzzl · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book left me with more questions than answers:/
I loved the whole series but man this book was a roller coaster hopefully book 6 gives us answers ❤️

[Sara López Villar · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite so far, now, I only have to wait god know how much till the next one is released

[Satanic Rat · Rating 5 out of 5]

I knew she couldn’t be trusted. As soon as she betrayed them the first time, I knew she’d do it again. I literally yelled at them that they were stupid not to get rid of her with the first betrayal.

I had hoped mozki’s power would transfer to them all. I’m glad it did.

Unexpected

I didn't expect a book in this series to break my heart but this one did. Literally my heart was in pain. Now I have to wait until May for the next installment!!

I need answers!! I need to know what happens next!!

[Raven and Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eventually Titos and his men have to catch a break, right? Right? Yoo-hoo! This one almost killed me! Plot twist party of 11? This book will hurt if you are a fan of this series but I have faith in the author to tie it up for us very nicely. I love Titos and all of his keepers, even the crazy ones. If you haven’t read the first four books, you will need to go do that first. These do not really stand alone at all and are best enjoyed in order. This book is a touch darker than the others and it isn’t all because of Henning either, even if the fox shifter is a bit of a lunatic. We meet Jasper in this book and he is sent to try and convince the newest king to go back to his home territory. Veto is also still trying to learn his place. It isn’t easy to overcome years of brainwashing. I can’t say that I am sorry to see more of the two “newest” keepers but I am dying to see what happens next. Thank goodness for Mazki. I knew there was a reason I loved him so much. I am sure there are people who will hate Jasper but I can’t be one of them. That poor Edoli is every bit as much of a victim as Titos. Besides, Titos and the other keepers can’t hate him, how could I? I love these characters all so much and they certainly deserve some peace and quiet and an HEA at the end of this!

[Breanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book caught my attention throughout the entire book. It was a great addition to this series, and I can't believe this series is almost done. This story progressed more than the others, and we got to learn about the final keeper and what he had been through. Even if he wanted to hate Tito, he couldn't. We were able to see how Veto would play a part. And Henning is by far my favorite Keeper. He loves Titos just in his own way.

Some of the scenes I did skip through because they were long and had one every other chapter was a lot. But overall, this story was great. I'm happy Brea didn't end the story where I thought it was going to, but man, the end was intense. And I can't wait to see how she wraps everything up.
