A Nordic King by Karina Halle Publication Date: September 21, 2018 Genre: Contemporary Romance
SYNOPSIS: When I first applied for the job I thought it would be like all the others: working as a nanny for an aristocratic family.
Then I got the job and found out how wrong I was.
Now I’m the new nanny for two adorable little girls who happen to be princesses.
Their father is the widowed King of Denmark.
And my new home? The royal palace in Copenhagen.
Adjusting to my new life isn't easy but the hardest part hasn’t been the girls who still grieve over the loss of their mother.
It’s their father.
Cold, mysterious and moody, with an icy stare that seems to penetrate your soul, King Aksel may have hired me to take care of his daughters but he wants as little to do with me as possible.
Yet the longer I share these palace walls with this man, the more that I’m drawn to him. His chiseled face and sexual swagger are only part of the package. It’s in the long, intense glances at the dinner table, the way we’ll brush up against each other in the halls, the rare glimpses of the man deep inside, like the sun passing through clouds.
But no matter how I feel about him, we can never be together.
You think it's bad enough being in love with your boss?
Try falling in love with a king.

Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This book got me out of my book funk!! I loved it and I couldn't stop reading it and that's bad because I have an important exam coming up and I have to study. I said I would only read one chapter, then two and I finished the book before realizing it. I loved the slow built Aurora and Aksel's relationship had. Finally, we had a relationship that wasn't rushed and the characters took some time to get to know each other before dancing horizontally on the sheets. We also get to see the children a lot and that was a pleasant surprise. They weren't forgotten once these two got together, which was another thing that I wasn't expecting.
The book does have some cliche parts and Aksel is not kind towards Aurora for a while. He explains that his behavior was due to his need to hide his attraction and I just accepted that. He changes a lot in the book and I loved that he listened to Aurora when she said that his daughters needed to be with him more and he made an effort to actually be there for them and spend as much time as he could with his kids.
I liked the epilogue and I wish we had more of it! It ended in a good and sweet way and I wanted more because we only got a glimpse of the family in the future. The book is a stand-alone and a great read, so what are you waiting for? Go and read it!
