Blog Tour: Review of the Lion Heart by Carrie Aarons

Author: Carrie Aarons

Date of publication: September 2019

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.

The Lion Heart is the second book in the Rogue Academy series.  It definitely can be read as a stand alone.  This book focuses on Kingston and Poppy.  It's an enemies to lovers story and one that I did end up enjoying..  I loved Poppy.  The PTSD from her trauma came across as heartbreaking and realistic.  Kingston, however, really had to grow on me.  I didn't love him in the first half of the book.  Thankfully, he redeemed himself in the second half of the book.  I felt like he had a lot of growth by the end of the book.  I loved how he dealt with Poppy once he knew her secret.  Ultimately, Poppy and Kingston are two very broken people who end up healing through love. I do recommend picking this one up.
