King is the second book in the Deep 8 series written by author Kenzie Macallan and can be read as a suspenseful stand-alone romance. Each book in this series tells the story of a different couple, and even though this was the first book that I’ve read, I had no problems following along.
King tells the story of Beck McKenzie, part-owner of the MBK security agency and an ex MI-6 agent, and Pippa Stevens, an ex-computer hacker, turned agent who’s trying to show her worth in the company. I’m dying to fill you in on all of the details, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. However, I can tell you that the storyline was gripping, and I quickly became completely engrossed. I seriously couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
King was an exciting page-turner, full of action, thrills, and suspense. It’s a definite add to your TBR list!

I grab my suitcase stuffed with goodies and climb the stairs, with Jobi in tow carrying the rest
of my luggage. My eyes focus on Beck’s beautiful yet stern face, and I smile.
“Hello, darling. How are you?” Charm usually works.
His tight lips relax as he looks at me with questions I can’t decipher. “I’m good.” His eyes dart
over to Jobi. “I’ll take those. Thank you, Jobi.” They do a weird handshake I’m not even going
to ask about.
He waves his hand to the front door. “After you, love.” His deep baritone voice does things to
me that shouldn’t be legal, especially the way he accents the word love.
The door shuts behind me with a click. His voice hits me from behind with increased volume.
“No, I am not your boyfriend. I’m on a mission, and I have a job to do. This isn’t an all-
inclusive holiday. I know you’re new at this but do try to keep up. I’m not even sure why Neil
sent you.”
I whip around and my face and ears grow warm. “Screw you. If you think for one minute, I’m
going to take your bullshit, you can guess again. I thought if my cover was your girlfriend, us
being close wouldn’t be questioned.” I step closer and crane my neck up so I’m about a foot
from his face. He is so hot, and I am so screwed. “This job is very serious for me. Despite what
you think, I’m here to help in any way I can. I know I’m new to this and I have a lot to learn, but
you don’t have all the answers either. By the way, there’s no I in we because we are on a
mission. Now, where’s the bathroom? It’s been a long trip.”
His eyes widened minutely. “The restroom is down the hall, third door on the left. We have a
dinner engagement with Wafiq and his girlfriend in a half hour. Dress appropriately. And for
the record, I didn’t ask for backup. I work alone, that means without a partner.”
After his directions, I turn down the hall and flip him the bird over my shoulder, hoping he’s
watching my ass.
