American Queen by Sierra Simone

5.0

I LOVED this book so much! These characters in this story and their chemistry pulled me right into the middle of their love triangle. If you are into a little or a lot of spice and love a story with a good bit of plot read this!! This book has love, forbidden love, lust, second chance love, drama and friendship. It is intense at times as you feel the love these characters have for one another.

The story begins with story of Greer meeting a wizard and him telling her “Keep your kisses to yourself when the time comes”. Merlin told her that she was not supposed to kiss anyone. EVER! If she kissed anyone, people would get hurt. She meets Ash when she is sixteen and they end up with a kiss. This kiss is so powerful and stays with her for years to come. Her next kiss is at 20 to Embry and this begins the complicated love feelings for the only two men she has kissed. She has always loved Ash from the first time she met him and has not forgotten that kiss. I absolutely loved the three characters in this story. Greer is sweet, intelligent, strong and submissive. She knows what she wants and after some events she will get everything she was hoping for! Ash is a contradiction. When you think he's sweet he becomes ruthless! He's a very dominating man, kinky and powerful. Embry is the strongest of all! He could have had everything and have nothing. He's loyal, conflicted and the one who makes this story come together. Can three people love each other? This is losely based on the triangle retellings of the sordid tale of Lancelot, Guinevere, and Arthur. I absolutely loved this book!! Many thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books and NetGalley for the digital review copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
