Craving a King: An African Royal Romance (Sexy Sovereign Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Louise Lennox (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 434 ratings
🔥 A dominant King. A strong-willed heroine. An irresistible, high-stakes royal romance. 🔥

Kofi
I’ve built an empire, secured my people’s future, and worn the weight of a crown without complaint. But love? That’s a distraction—one I can’t afford.

Then I see her.

Ella Jenkins. Fierce. Brilliant. A woman who commands a room like a queen without a throne. She speaks of education like it’s a revolution, and in that moment, I know—my nation needs her.

But I want her for more than just her mind. I want the woman who challenges me when the world bows at my feet. She may not know it yet, but she belongs to me.

And an alpha king does not ask twice.

Ella
I worked for this. Every late night, every battle fought, every sacrifice made—I built my empire with my own two hands. Now, the United Nations has finally given me a chance to bring real change to Africa.

What I didn’t sign up for? A sexy, powerful King.

Kofi Ajyei is dominance and desire wrapped in royalty. A billionaire ruler. A warrior in a tailored suit. A man who takes what he wants. And, for some reason, he wants me.

But I don’t belong to any man. Not even one who makes my pulse race and my body burn.

Still, when power collides with passion, when duty battles desire—who walks away unscathed?

Because the more I fight him, the more I crave him. And I fear if I fall… he’ll never let me go.

Craving a King is a steamy, alpha male romance filled with power, passion, and an unforgettable love story. Perfect for fans of royal romance, billionaire romance, enemies-to-lovers, and multicultural love stories. No cliffhangers—just a sizzling, heart-melting HEA. This is Book One of the Sexy Sovereign Series: Kofi's Story

Praise for Craving A King
“I could not stop reading! The book provided the international escape I've been hoping for during the pandemic.” -Danya Bacchus, Journalist

“I loved the story from the beginning to the end and didn't want to put it down. I love a great love story and this was one.” -Crystal, Myluvofbooks blog

Review

"Craving A King" Has Me Craving More!From start to finish, Louise Lennox leaves nothing to the imagination! She immediately introduces us to Ella and Kofi who, due to past relationships, are extremely guarded but quickly realize their chemistry is undeniable. From there, she fills the pages with descriptive scenes of Ghana, vivid details of hot sex, and a storyline with unexpected twists and turns. I could not stop reading! The book provided the international escape I've been hoping for during the pandemic. I highly recommend "Craving A King" and can't wait to find out what happens in Part 2 of the sexy sovereign series. " -Danya Bacchus, Journalist

    Louise Lennox say hello your newest fan. Craving A King had my attention from the moment my eyes landed on that magnificent cover. But, the story, I loved every minute of Kofi and Ella’s story. It began with a dash of enemies to lovers that blossomed into a beautiful romance.

    𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨?
    Ella Jenkins was beautiful, strong and fiercely independent. She was a total boss and demanded respect regardless of your title. King Kofi hadn’t met a woman of her stature before and it’s safe to say she was the game changer he needed. She definitely challenged not only the status quo but the King himself and helped to mold him into an even man.

    “𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚?
    “𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆 𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳”.
    𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮? 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙧𝙩?”
    My gawd, King Kofi Ajyei though!! He was all about worshiping his Queen in all the ways. His wooing power knew no bounds or limits. I thought it was the sweetest thing to discover he harbored a crush on Ella and was willing to move mountains to have her in his presence. Before Ella, he never had to truly work to get a woman and she wasn’t making it easy. She definitely humbled him and I was all here for it. I loved the way he was willing to change his whole life to be with her.
    I loved the way they challenged and taught each other things. They were also sizzling freaking haaaawt. I’m a sucker for dirty talk and King Kofi definitely delivered!
    Their journey was a tumultuous one filled with scandals, twists, and betrayal. But, through it all, they discovered a love unlike neither of them had ever known.
    Louise Lennox seriously captivated me with Kofi and Ella’s story!
    I had the pleasure of listening to the audio and when I tell you it was every single thing. Simone Lewis and Uduak Inyang were in-freaking-credible! Their narration was just the perfect complement and made for an unforgettable audiogasm.

    As the title states, I liked the fact that it was set in Ghana and there was a touch of the Ashanti history. I love black love and the way King loved his queen and allowed himself to vulnerable only to her. I like the fact that she was no pushover and stood her ground when she needed to.

    The smut really smutted enough in this book. It's an amazing read.

    What a delightful story! Lots of passion and beautiful descriptions of a country filled with good food and scenic treasures.
    The story of Kofi and Ella is a great one. The pages lift their attraction and make it palpable. Kofi does have a few layers and stories Ella has to work through, but Ella is not exempt either. I enjoyed their journey, even the parts where they express their uncertainty. This one had me up through the night and I finished it within a day. Pick it up, you will not regret it. I can't wait for Adom and Maya...I wanted to beg the author for the ARC. Get this and provide your review as well.

    Kofi and Ella’s cultural differences leads to many misconceptions and misunderstandings between them but all is not lost, their sexual attraction is off the charts!🔥🔥🔥Their vulnerabilities are able to be overcome with the revelations of truth, honesty, respect and the chemistry between them!! Kofi is full of dirty talk and attention. Ella is feisty, intelligent and very compassionate!! Simone Lewis is a new narrator to me and her verbalizations for Ella are phenomenal!!

    That was Fire. I loved it from the 1st word until the last. Ella & Kofi were each others before they even knew it or wanted to give into the temptation of each other. The drama, the love, the heated love making, the culture, the Black Love... So good. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this Royal Love story and what is in store for Adom & Maya. Wonderful beginning to this series. My first book of Author Louise Lennox, but definitely not the last. Highly recommend reading this series.
