Drama King

Cyrus Malcolm is a hot, sexy, chill superstar. He got a superhero role in a series of movies, and he gained a lot of fans because of that. There's a necessity to strengthen his security, so he needs to get a few new bodyguards as soon as possible.

Beth moved to LA because she got her dream job. She's getting her first assignment working as a security specialist for an A-lister whose identity she doesn't know yet. However, the night before she's going to start her dream job, she needs to do a favor for a friend and impersonate her friend on a blind date. Can you guess who ends up being her date?

After a hilarious first date, and a mistaken identity, Beth and Cyrus are in a team meeting realizing they'll be working very close together because Cyrus is the mysterious client, and Beth is one of his undercover bodyguards.

I loved how Cyrus and Beth's story started. Their first date was hilarious! So funny! Their chemistry was instant, and the banter... PERFECTION! I adored Cyrus, he knew what he wanted, and he fought so hard for Beth's heart. He was impulsive at times for sure, but he was so sweet and caring. So swoon-worthy! Beth was a strong character too. She was very invested in her job, so it was easy to find her relatable when she tried to stay professional because she wanted to be the best at her job. Getting involved with her first client was not the best idea. But Cyrus was mining her resistance every step of the way, just by being herself.

Their romance was super slow-burn. Beth took her time to give in to their connection and attraction. It frustrated me at times because Cyrus had such a big heart! The snowstorm, forced proximity trope, took a while to reach. It was really fun anyway. When Beth accepted that she had feelings for Cyrus, and finally let him get close to her... these two were sweet, and fantastic together.

Even though Homecoming King, the first book in this series, remains my favorite, I had a lot of fun reading Drama King. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend both of these stories. Penny Reid never fails to make me fall for her characters. I loved the setting, the secondary characters, the slow-burn romance, and the chemistry between Cyrus and Beth. It was a sweet fun read! Can't wait to read the next book in this series.
