King of Thieves by Saxon James
3.0
adventurous lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I wanted to enjoy this more than I did. It wasn't bad, I just couldn't find myself to care about the characters. Chad was awesome but Bailey was a bit...dull. That might be a bit harsh but I feel like his personality was drowned out by Chad's. 

It was steamy and the smut was decently written without the use of needless adjectives to describe a penis that alot of writers favour, so I appreciate that! 

But it all felt very low stakes and predictable, even though it was trying to be high stakes and twisty. 

It was a cute read, and I liked the whole Rivals to lovers aspect, and the sense of family in the Frats, but I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit bored by the end.
