About this listen
Six years following his marriage to Jessica and their coronation, Pat learns just how far greedy politicians will go to safeguard their wealth, status, and power. After being taken from his family and home, Pat decides he’ll just rescue himself and ruin their plans while he's at it.
Texas is about to learn their king is far more than the horse loving, boot scraping of a chef they believe he is.
In chronological order, Taken takes place following Storm Called.

After waking in a shallow grave and clawing her way to freedom, Penelope Francis hunts for the rogue who stole her life and transformed her into a vampire. Despite being corrupted into a feared preternatural, she clings to her humanity and refuses to prey on innocents, instead slaking her thirst on other miscreant vampires. In exchange for a chance at revenge, she joins forces with the charismatic master of the Lowrance brood, a choice that may spell the salvation—or destruction—of humanity as she knows it.

Story
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

A frothy Royal States treat!
The problem I had with this book is that it ended far too soon. I was totally caught up in the unfolding events. Although the book completed one story arc, I want to know what happens next, with the kingdom's political shakeup, and with the next generation, of both humans and horses! I'm very glad there are already several other books set in this world. I'm going to have to relisten to some of the earlier stories to keep from exploding with impatience waiting for the next piece of the Royal States mosaic!
