[ob-li-gey-shuh n]
An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral.
At six years old, Myla was sent to a family her father and mother had chosen for her when they knew their time on earth was almost up. What they were unaware of was what they thought would be her safe haven would become her living hell.
Kai has been watching Myla from afar since he took over the family business from his father and inherited the responsibility of keeping her safe. When word gets back to Kai that Myla is not only in danger, but that his assets are being compromised, he immediately jumps into action and does the only thing that can be done at the time by marrying her.
Neither Myla nor Kai would have thought that something that started off as a farce would become the most important thing either of them could’ve ever done.
Review
Obligation is the perfect title for Kai and Myla’s story, the second book in Aurora Rose Reynolds’ Underground Kings series. It paints the facade that the relationship that exists between Kai and Myla is one of duty…protection…a promise made and carried through on, and maybe on the surface that’s how it all started, but it is quite clear early on in the text that it’s so much more than a responsibility for both of them due to their shared pasts and their desire for a future together.
Kai is a complicated man; his commitment to his family’s business has molded him into a man who does what needs to be done without thinking of the repercussions, and to a certain degree, that extends to his fake marriage to Myla. Kia is a protector at his core, especially to the little girl he promised all those years ago to take care of when he found her upset, and despite the time that has elapsed, his vow holds true, and he’ll do whatever it takes to ensure Myla remains unscathed.
Myla’s has endured more than her fair share of loss and pain, and it has left her scarred and apprehensive, but she’s also a strong woman who refuses to be misused again. She understands that her arrangement with Kai is necessary, but she’s also struggling to be in it with him because of what she feels for him; Kai has the ability to destroy her even more if she doesn’t guard her heart and learn to see it for what it is.
But this obligatory marriage is anything but fake, and as Kai and Myla’s connection blossoms and grows, it’s clear to readers that the obligation doesn’t come from having to do the right thing – it comes from having to do what the heart clearly wants and needs to happen. It’s Kai and Myla’s souls that have them committed from the start, and once their heads catch up, the bond that forms is heartwarming, sensual, and forever.
Obligation is another great read from Aurora Rose Reynolds. Her books are one-click no brainers because she creates such fantastic alpha males who put themselves on the line day in and day out to protect those they love, and they make no qualms about what they have to do to get things done. I do feel like Kai remains a bit of a mystery even at the end of the text, and I would have liked to understand more about his past and how he was molded to be the man who he is, but perhaps not knowing those things is what makes Kai even more intriguing to readers.
Kai and Myla’s story has a great mix of suspense, romance, payback, and steam, and I can’t wait for this series to continue.

Excerpt
“Everyone is looking for you.”
I turn my head, pulling my hair out of my face as I watch a boy I’ve never seen before climb up the stairs and into my tree house.
“Who are you?” I ask him as he sits across from me.
“Kai,” he smiles, looking around. He looks a lot different than the other kids I know. His hair is long, and his skin is a lot darker than mine. “Why are you hiding?”
I shrug and look away from him. Daddy was yelling earlier; he was so mad that he was turning red. Then Mommy started crying, and Daddy started yelling louder. I heard Mommy telling Daddy that he had to send me away. I don’t want to go away. I try to be good, but sometimes, I forget to listen.
“Why are you crying?”
I look up at him and wipe my face. “I’m scared,” I whisper, wiping my nose.
“Come on. I’ll protect you,” he says, holding his hand out to me.
Then my mommy calls my name again. I look at his hand, move Mr. Bear under my arm, and put my hand in his.
“Myla!” Mommy yells, running towards me.
I can tell she has been crying again.
“Where did you go?” Her hands grab my shoulders and she shakes me hard.
“It’s my fault. I asked her to show me the tree house,” Kai tells her.
She stops shaking me then looks at him. “You shouldn’t have done that. You knew we were looking for her,” she says angrily her head.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking,” Kai says softly, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the ground.
I look back at Mommy, and she shakes her head before grabbing my hand and pulling me with her. When I look over my shoulder at Kai, he smiles, making me smile back.

Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.
