[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.
Excerpt #1
“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.
Excerpt 2
I feel the sun on my closed eyelids and something sharp poking me in the face. Moving my hand, trying to get away from the pain, I whimper when it scrapes against my cheek. I lift my head and run my fingers along the side of my face, feeling wetness. Opening my eyes to see a light smear of blood on my fingers. I flip my hand over, and then I see the gaudy ring that is now taking up residence on my ring finger.
“Great,” I whisper, closing my eyes and laying my head down again.
I prayed earlier, before I went to sleep, that when I woke up, the ring I’m wearing now and the man who put it there would be nothing but a bad dream. No such luck. I roll over and take a shaky breath, wanting to close my eyes for a few more seconds, wishing I could just sleep until everything was back to normal.

Review By Lys
Obligation is the second book in the Underground Kings series, but can be read as a standalone as there is little reference to book 1, Assumption.
If you have read Assumption, you will remember Kai's cameo appearance
towards the end of the book when Kenton request his help in finding the
hitman. If you have not read Assumption, I highly recommend you do because it was a great book, although it does not play a significant role in Kai and Myla's story.
Kai fell in love with Myla the moment he first met her when he was 10 years old. Even at such a young age, he knew she was destined to be his. Though many years had past until they met again, Kai's instinct to protect Myla never faltered.
"She was my peace in a world I knew was fucked up beyond most people's understanding." ~Kai
In an effort to protect Myla, her parents sent her off to live with a family where they believed she would be safe. Little did they know, they were leaving her in the hands of a demon. After graduating from high school, Myla ran from the only family she knew in search of a safe haven.
"Since the moment I met Kai, I have felt some kind of strange pull towards him. But as much as he entices me, he scares me." ~Myla
When Myla's life is once again in danger, Kai vows to move heaven and earth to give her the life that she deserves. What he didn't expect, is that his love would be returned, and he would have the life he never believed was possible.
"You saved me," I whisper. "I don't just mean what happened in Seattle. You saved me from myself." ~Myla
I really enjoyed Kai and Myla's story. I have really enjoyed this series thus far. I have loved the characters and storyline of both books. I love the heroes! They are bad-ass, balls-to-the-wall, take-no-prisoners kind of men! Aurora Rose Reynolds did a great job in keeping with the theme of this series and has me hooked! I would definitely recommend this book...this series!

as·sump·tion:
a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof
They say when you assume that you make an ass out of you and me. Kenton Mayson learned this lesson firsthand when he made assumptions about Autumn Freeman and the kind of woman she is based on what little information he had. What he finds out is she’s not only beautiful, but also smart, funny, a fighter, and exactly the kind of woman he wants to share his life with. Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.
