Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, writing as NATALIE KANE, comes an arranged marriage, age-gap, ex’s dad novel in her Kings of Vegas series, Blood King.
Natasha
Being a Bratva princess is not as glamorous as it sounds. Or glamorous at all.
I’ve known since I was a child that my life is not my own. That one day, my father would give me away to the Mafia family that would best serve his purposes.
So it shouldn’t surprise me when I walk into Papa’s office and meet Elliot Stavros.
I soon learn that my husband-to-be is as monstrous as my father. And I’d do anything to get out of this marriage.
Julian
I need the alliance with the Russians, and the best way to make it happen is to marry my son off to the princess.
The only problem? I can’t get the stunning blond with big blue eyes filled with pain out of my head.
And when I find out that my son has been cruel to the beautiful woman? I take matters into my own hands.
I marry her myself.
I know I’m too old for her and I don’t deserve her. Still, the thought of anyone else touching her brings out my unhinged side.
I’m falling in love with my gorgeous wife. But when I discover that she’s betraying me, will I have to destroy her?

My Thoughts
Blood King, written by Natalie Kane, is a gripping addition to the Kings of Vegas series that masterfully explores the dark, morally gray depths of the Greek mafia. The story centers on Julian Stavros, a ruthless and calculating leader who unexpectedly reveals a tender, deeply protective side when it comes to Natasha Ivanov.
Their journey begins under heartbreaking circumstances. As a Bratva princess, Natasha is forced into an arranged marriage with Julian’s entitled and abusive son, Elliot. However, when Elliot’s cruelty crosses a final line, Julian takes matters into his own hands by stepping in to marry Natasha himself.
Despite the significant age gap and the unconventional setup, this "ex’s dad" romance evolves into a compelling narrative of safety and stability. The most striking element of the book is Natasha’s immense growth, as she transforms from a shy, vulnerable girl into a strong woman capable of standing up for herself.
While their connection is undeniable, the relationship is tested by a toxic father's interference and a shattering twist. This betrayal forces Julian to face the ramifications of his own rush to judgment, threatening the very bond they worked so hard to build.
The duet narration by Savannah Thomas and James Cassidy truly elevates the experience, bringing the gritty atmosphere to life. Savannah Thomas captures Natasha’s emotional arc—from despair and anguish to joy and passion—with incredible nuance.
James Cassidy perfectly embodies Julian, delivering a gruff, dominant, and possessive performance with a sultry tone that hints at the warmth beneath his cold exterior. Together, they navigate the "what did I just read?" moments typical of the genre, delivering an intense, emotional, and beautifully chaotic five-star experience.
