Lena Hendrix has a way with small town character series that makes me just eat them up. I'm always looking forward to the next one - and I've been waiting for JP's book since day 1 of the Kings series.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: JP has always lived in the likeness of his father - and now with his father behind bars and his business empire failing, he's not sure what the future holds. He's even more unsure of what to do with the smart seven-year-old that showed up to say JP is his father - or Hazel, his witchy aunt who is just along for the ride. 

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: A good character series has to have some eclectic main characters to keep my attention. I want people I CAN'T WAIT to read about - and JP King was that guy. He's the ruthless business man, the buttoned up suit in a small town, the one who you were never sure how he would react to family drama. And oh, how the might JP falls.

The Kings series has been excellent from the jump. I knew I would like JP, but was pleasantly surprised at Hazel, who was just a ball of fun. I loved her out-of-the-box personality. There's a sรฉance in this book! And for someone who has a witchy mother, I was loving the alternative earth momma vibes Hazel gave off. 

And Lena Hendrix made the two MCs the absolutely perfect opposites attract couple, with banter to match. 

Small note on this series - there's an underlying plot in these that, if you can pick up on context, means you can read these as standalones. But to me, they're best read from the start and in order.
