Shameless King

This is starting out to be a fantastic series. Declan and Makenna have been picking at one another since freshman year of high school. When she transfers to the same college senior year that he’s at, things begin to heat up when they’re paired as partners. They have both had some difficult times in their lives that have shaped them to be who they are now, but sharing these things bring them closer and shows her that she does know how to live a little and accomplish her goals...or so she thinks. This story has kept me riveted and I cannot wait for more...especially Emmett and Avery. I’m voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Declan and Makenna went to high school together. They both enjoyed pushing each other's buttons. The attraction may have been there but neither was going to act on it.
Fast forward 3 years and they are put together in a college class. This is a romance that has a hockey theme, friends to lovers and things aren't always what they seem.
You will enjoy Mac and Declan as they navigate this new romance and realize that what people see is not necessarily what is really going on in someone's life.
You'll enjoy this romance and will anticipate the next installment.
I was given this book for am honest voluntary review.

I loved it! It was incredible. Mak and Declan stole my heart. Their off the charts chemistry is amazing to see.

I love Heath, too and how he knew before Declan did how he felt about Mak.

I highlighted so much of the story. I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but I think I found a quote that isn’t a spoiler.

“He made me want to be wild and free, like the kind of girl I’d always wished I could be.”

I highly recommend this book. You won’t want to put it down!! It is so well written. And a book I can read over and over again. I haven’t read one of those in a long time.

Declan and Makenna go from enemies hrough high school to being assigned as partners when they're college seniors whose professor won't let them ask for new partners, The grade in this sophomore level class is important to each of them in their continuing careers. Things start off very rocky but as they spend time together, they begin to understand each other, get their assignments done, and eventually admitting their attraction for one another. The last third of the story will have you on the edge of your seat. I voluntarily reviewed this book from an ARC. Can't wait for the next book!

Addicting! I've volunteered to review this book for United Indie Book Blog. Another new to me author. This is the first book in the Kings of Rittenhouse series. Now I'm totally in love with Declan and Makenna. Hockey romances are my favorite. This book has it all between funny, sweet, romantic..emotional, and very very steamy!!!! I love the banter between Declan and Makenna. I can't wait to read more from this series. Keep up the amazing work! If you love reading about enemies to lovers stories. Then this is the perfect one for YOU! So don't miss out--you are going to LOVE this story!

A great story.

Declan lives and breathes ice hockey, it is his goal to play pro but his Mum wants him to finish college first, the only issue is he is so close to graduation and failing one class, he has to retake it and then finds out his partner in the class is the one girl from high school who couldn’t stand him.

Makenna has her goals, she is going to be a doctor and nothing and no one will stand in her way. She hasn’t had the easiest of lives despite what everyone else thinks. She is determined to get the best grades in every class so when she finds out she has to be partners with Declan she is less than impressed.

Declan seems to have made his latest goal to get under Makenna’s skin whenever and however he can and she finds it harder and harder to resist. Can these two stop bickering long enough to find out what the other is like under all the false smiles and stone faces?

I enjoyed the prequel but really loved this first story in this wonderful "Kings of Rittenhouse" series. We are introduced to the guys in the prequel but this one is about Declan. It's the King of the Ice meets the Ice Queen, Declan and Makenna, which makes for an entertaining story with some drama and angst. I really liked this captivating, intriguing and well written story. The characters were great and definitely had chemistry. I cannot wait to read the next story.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh Declan! What an unabashed ladies man! I liked that he embraced that part of himself, he owned it, good for him... And my heart broke for Mak. So broken and I know from life experience it takes awhile to fix yourself even with the best help and love from others. Forgiving yourself and loving yourself are hard things to do, and I think Mak still has a ways to go which the author did an excellent job of representing here. So many feelings in this one, and I look forward to glimpses of these two in upcoming books from one of my favorite indie authors!

Maya Hughes, you now have a new fan! ♥

This delicious sports romance was just the fix I was needing. Declan and Makenna's story was sweet and steamy with plenty of emotionally charged moments. It had all of the right elements, depth and details to keep me glued to each and every page. Their banter was humorous and the chemistry absolutely electric.

In conclusion, Shameless King had me smiling and swooning from beginning to end. This was a fantastic book. Low angst. Hot passion. Loved it. Books just don't get much better than this.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book. “Shameless King” by Maya Hughes is another great, entertaining book. If you are looking for a good book to read you want to read this. It’s got a Good, Interesting, Well Written Story and the Great, Engaging characters kept me engrossed in this book from the first chapter with their sizzling, intense chemistry and interaction, I really liked reading about them, I couldn’t put this Book down. It is an Enjoyable, Romantic, Must Read Story and well worth a read

This book is based around an Ice hockey team, through high school and college. I fell in love with all the characters, they were very easy to relate to. For the two main characters Declan and Mak it is a hard journey for them growing up from a hate relationship to something better as she helps gets his grades up. A refreshing new aspect for me to read to watch these characters develop. Very well written with lots of scope for additional books with side plots running along the main story line.

We were introduced to Declan and Makenna while they were in high school (prom and the days around graduation).
They did not get along...
Fast forward to college four years later and they end up at the same college, and as lab partners.
Didn't care for Declan with another girl, but once we get past that, we find out that he's a sweetie who's into the serious, opposite Makenna.
New Adult read.
Recommend.

Maya Hughes did a great job on Shameless King. The book was well written and had a great plot filled with many emotions. Declan and Makenna were strong characters that have been through a lot. They bump heads a lot. Always bantering. Their relationship was a thin line between love and hate. They were so alike but fought it. Declan and Mak were made for each other. Their chemistry was off the charts sexy. I enjoyed their story.
Thank you, Maya Hughes. Great work :)

I read and enjoyed the prequel, it definitely left me starving for this story and I can say I loved it.

Mak and Declan, their banter, wittiness, chemistry and connection, the sexual tension... I loved seeing them grown and develop, though at times I got completely infuriated with their stubborn, ridiculous and at times a tad childish attitudes.

Maya Hughes writes both a sexy and heart-warming story that was entertaining and satisfying.

This was an enjoyable enemies to lovers/sports romance read. Declan and McKenna had great chemistry and I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow over time.The characters and plot were well written and entertaining. Can't wait for more in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

This was very confusing in the early section of the book. I didn’t understand what was happening and I would often have to reread certain parts to know what was going on. The story line was great, and I loved Declan and Makenna together. They did frustrate me at times, but then again which book couple doesn’t when they’re being stubborn? Just take your time with this book. That way you can enjoy it more.

After reading the prequel of this series I was really looking forward to reading this book and I am glad that I had the pleasure of reading it! The well written storyline drew me in and the great characters kept me totally hooked until the turn of the very last page!

This is an enemies to lovers romance that will have your emotions on a roller coaster. Declan and McKenna had great chemistry and I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow over time. The characters and plot were well written. I can’t wait for more in this series.?

This is a good story, it's an emotional enemies to lovers story. The characters were still young and immature but they were likable. It's an enjoyable storyline but I felt it dragged on a bit.

This is an engaging, well-written romance. There is steam, drama, misconceptions, and characters who are likable, relatable and have amazing chemistry. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

I love college romances. This one is kind of high school/college. It takes place in both. I also recommend reading the free prequel before you start this series. I love all the characters and can't wait for each of them to have their story out there.
