Goodreads rating: 4.59/5

Author: Nikki Davenport
Genre: Romance

When dark secrets threaten the Queen he loves, betrayal is the only choice.

Why didn’t I have the good sense to walk away when I learned Khara was the Queen?

I should have said goodbye.

Stayed away.

I damn sure shouldn’t have touched her.

Now I’m in so deep I can’t imagine my world without her. Even knowing guys like me with black marks on their souls don’t get happy endings. She deserves better than the likes of me.

She’s making me yearn for things I have no right to want.

It’s a mistake to give in to the magnetic pull between us. And yet just a single taste of the sweetness that is Lytua’s Queen seals my fate.

Maybe I never had a chance.

But when dark secrets from my past threaten her life and her standing as Queen, I have to take swift action.

There’s nothing I won’t do to keep Khara safe.

So I betray the woman who’s come to mean all to me. And I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Queen of His Heart is the exciting second half of the Queen’s Desire duet. Khara and Riddick's epic love story began with Book 1 of the Crown and Heart series, International Incident.

Trigger Warning: memories of cancer and childhood trauma; profanity, graphic content; mention of SA and substance abuse; kidnapping.

Thanks to the author and LibraryThings for this copy! I hadn't realized this was book 2 but then I didn't get lost either, thankfully!

It is definitely a well written feel-good love story. From the moment Khara and Riddick met until the end, it was filled with adventure, like a roller coaster ride. It may be predictable (I had guessed the ending to be that), yet it was as emotional and full of surprise at times. I have enjoyed Khara and Riddick's journey until the end which made me felt that I've actually watched a Diva movie instead of reading it LOL! With such a lovely and warm ending to boot! If you are looking for an easy read, give this title a try but be warned that it is filled with 'lovey-dovey' stuff ya!
