Elves are from Venus, wolf shifters from Mars. Vampires come from Saturn, humans live on Earth…and one man is king of them all…he just doesn't know it yet.

Nicolas Callon had no idea that his life was going to change the day he turned twenty five. He had simply been hoping to spend a little time with his best friend and secret crush Cooper Walsh. But nothing turns out like he had hoped. From interfering ex-girlfriends to aliens from outer-space, Nicky’s day just goes to hell.

The one bright spot is Cooper and the passionate interlude they share mere moments before Nicky’s life turns upside down. As he whisked away to parts unknown, it might be all Nicky has to keep himself sane, because being told he’s king of the galaxy pales in comparison to watching the man he loves get shot before his very eyes.

If Nicky can find a way back to earth, he might have a chance of making his birthday wish come true. If not, then everything he has gained as king will be meaningless.

What a great book!!

Stormy Glenn has written another winner.  It’s no secret that I’m a screaming fangirl for her.  She writes awesome stories with well thought out plots and details that make the reader feel like they’re right in the middle of the action.  “To Take a King” is no different.  It’s chock full of action, intrigue, romance, and VERY hot sex.  It grabbed me from the first paragraph and didn’t let me go until it was finished.

Nicky has been in love with Cooper all their lives.  They’ve been best friends since they were five years old, and Nicky wants him with his whole heart and soul.  Problem is, Cooper is straight.  Or is he?  On his 25th birthday, Nicky gets what he’s always wanted, and life is on the upswing.  Then, in an instant, it’s all ripped away.  Nicky is forced to watch as his brother and his friends are knocked out, and his beloved Cooper is shot.  What follows is a wild ride.  Nicky is told that he’s the King of the solar system.  Yes…the whole solar system.  Even though he is trying to process this information, all he can think about is Cooper, and Cooper, who was, miraculously, not killed is obsessed with finding Nicky so they can start their life together.

I think that the best part of the whole thing was the powerful connection that Nicky and Cooper share.  Their feelings run so deep, and there is so much passion between them.  Along with the passion, there is a tenderness that took my breath away.  They way they look at each other, touch each other, and melt together is amazing.  I know I’m gushing, but I swear that this is one of the most romantic love stories I’ve read in a long time.  It transcends time and space.  Here is where I should also say that the sex is beyond steamy.  You’ll find yourself wishing you were there with them if only to feel the electricity in the air.

This was a relatively quick read.  It was the perfect way to relax and spend the evening.  It left me feeling happy and satisfied. I highly recommend this book. It’s so unique and original. Something new and refreshing.  I think you’ll really enjoy it.
