Publisher's summary

Kash Kamdar is the king of a peaceful but powerful island nation. As Loa Mali's sovereign, he is always in control, the final authority. Until his mother uses an ancient law to force her son into marriage. His prospective queen is a buttoned-up intellectual, nothing like Kash's usual party girl. Still, from the moment of their forced engagement, he can't stop thinking about her.

Dayita Samar comes from one of Loa Mali's most respected families. The Oxford-educated scientist has dedicated her life to her country's future. But under her staid and calm exterior, Day hides a few sexy secrets of her own. She is willing to marry her king, but also agrees that they can circumvent the law. Just because they're married doesn't mean they have to change their lives. It certainly doesn't mean they have to fall in love.

After one wild weekend in Dallas, Kash discovers his bride-to-be is more than she seems. Engulfed in a changing world, Kash finds exciting new possibilities for himself. Could Day help him find respite from the crushing responsibility he's carried all his life? This fairy tale could have a happy ending, if only they can escape Kash's past....

Such a Refreshing Reversal

It's not every book that Mrs. Blake writes with the female being the dominant partner so I was curious how'd this play out with King Kash. It was a beautiful story with all the complexity I expected. As usual, I am enthralled with every book she writes.

You won't want to miss this one!

I have been looking forward to Kash's story ever since we first met him way back when. I was not disappointed. Kash is an interesting King. He is very human. In other words, he has issues just like everyone else in this amazing world of Masters and Mercenaries does. He just happens to be royalty, like that would make any difference to anyone at Sanctum, or Mckay/Taggart. He is just one of the guys. It just added more issues. I loved learning about Kash's country and some of their customs. Not to mention more of his story. Like the love of his life. That was so fun. You won't want to miss this one. Narration. Ryan West is fabulous! Not only does he have a voice to td die for, but he has a thousand and one voices. I had no problem figuring out who was speaking. It was that good. I will have to find more books narrated by him. He is good!

Great story-line AND Great Narration!!!

Great action/adventure story rolled up in a fantastic romance.
This book is especially insightful about the psychology of the submissive male and Dominant female.
The characters are exceptionally well written giving us extraordinary and more detailed D/s insight than is usually found in a romance novel.

fantastic series

I absolutely love the series. I enjoy getting to know all the characters, and the you be you attitude

Very sexy & humorous romantic tale

I smiled & chuckled throughout this story. It’s not your normal Royalty story. There was a lot of depth & learning in these characters. There was also lots of mystery. A very good listen.

Not for me

I love this author and listened most of her books. This story didn’t do it for me. I had a hard time connecting with the main characters and didn’t care for the sex scenes. After six chapters, I gave up and went straight to the last chapter. I just wanted to see how this story end. I didn’t like the end either. I gave high overall rating because I thought the writing was good, just not the story. Also it was told in 3 POV which I didn’t like. The performance was excellent and will definitely listen more from him.

Kash really is King

Would you listen to Arranged again? Why?

I would totally listen to Arranged again. There is something about Ryan West bringing Lexi Blake's words to life that is almost magical.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that we finally got to see behind Kash's party boy facade.

Which scene was your favorite?

No this is hard because my favorite scene would totally give away the story. Let'/s just say the Lexi Blake has a way with action and suspense that makes me come back for more.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes it's good to be King but better to be the Queen.

Finally!

Finally, a female dominant. I hope the other authors in this genre also consider doing this. They are so rare.

Nice to see a story from the Domme point of view.

It is nice to see a story written from the Domme point of view. Well done.

Loved this one

Kash and Dayita’s story was so engaging and lovable. I have either listened to or read every book in the Masters and Mercenaries series. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with this one. But I adored the twists and turns. I think the resolution of the conflicts in this story were believable and just downright great! A must read/listen if you have read/listened to other books in the series and a must read/listen even if you haven’t.
