THE TRAITOR QUEEN

Description from Publisher:
A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched Ithicana be conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter.

And it is bait she fully intends to take.

Risking her life to the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king, but for liberating the Bridge Kingdom from her father’s clutches using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. But not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized, enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she’s trying to free – the husband she betrayed.

With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who – and what – she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself.

A Non-Spoiler Favorite Quote:
You are a princess, she told herself. A Queen. And above all, she was the little cockroach.
My Rating:
Heat Rating:

There are barely words!

This starts not long after the first book ends. Lara has accepted the consequences of her kingdom-destroying mistake and is drowning her sorrows in Harendelle. Upon learning that Aren has been taken prisoner by her father, she risks reaching out to Ahnna at Eranahl, determined to help. Aren is imprisoned, being psychologically tortured for information on where Lara is and how to attack Eranahl, where most of the Ithicanians took refuge after the bridge was taken.

From there, it's daring escapes, epic battles and adventures, near-death experiences, and torn hearts attempting to mend.

The adventure and action in this is downright awesome. Everything written so well I could see it all like it was happening in front of me. Heart and wit, tenderness and love. Every character rich. The political aspects intriguing and easily understood, as was the military strategy and battles.

I knew it had to end a certain way, but still LOVED every minute. In fact, those last few pages got me in the feels!


My Source: I borrowed this via Kindle Unlimited to voluntarily review. This in no way influenced my review. My opinion is unbiased and 100% my own.

Description from Publisher:
Scott Carter is a bully. Scott Carter is a racist. Scott Carter is the most arrogant douche I have ever met. This man-whore charms the pants off all the girls, but not me - the Latina from the wrong side of town - I see none of that charm. I get the worst of him. He has made my life a living hell, tormenting me for years with no reprieve.

Just when I’m at breaking point, Scott Carter steps in and makes everything ten times worse. My whole life is turned upside down in an instant. And now, after he’s messed up everything, that’s when he decides that maybe we should try to be friends. He wants to reconcile and put the past behind us.

Ugh! No! He can go to hell. I want nothing from Scott Carter…but it’s starting to look like he wants something from me.

Trigger Warning from Publisher:
Although this is definitely not a 'dark romance', please take note that this book contains many triggers that may be offensive such as suicide (before the book begins) and bullying. In particular, there are some racial slurs. As a woman of color myself, I fully understand how hurtful these words can be. I am no stranger to them either. However, I did not want to tiptoe around this issue or sugarcoat the severity of it. I wanted to highlight how damaging such slurs (or any kind of name-calling for that matter) can be to the person on the receiving end. It also contains strong language and sexual content and is not recommended for readers under 18 years of age or sensitive readers.

About the Author:
Number cruncher by day, raging romance novelist by night; Jacqueline’s creative inspiration stems from romance and all its literary and rom-com depictions. Matters of the heart are what fascinates her, because ultimately, what makes a life out of - what would ordinarily be a typical existence - is Love.
