Queen Takes Knights
by Joely Sue Burkhart
content warnings: violence, murder, loss of a parent, blood drinking during sex, graphic sexual content
representation: f/m/m relationship
God I love the feeling of really enjoying the first book in a ridiculously long erotica series. This series has eight books in the main series, plus a whole bunch of novellas and spin-offs, and after finishing this book I immediately wanted to go and read them all.
Queen Takes Knights is the first book in a paranormal erotica series about Shara Isador, a woman who has been on the run from monsters ever since her mother was killed by them. One night, as she is about to be attacked, two mysterious men save her, saying that she is their queen and they'll do whatever necessary to protect her.
I'm aware that this is erotica and I shouldn't spend too much time on the world building, but indulge me for a moment. I love vampires and am always interested in different authors' interpretations of them. This is going to be a weird comparison, but a lot of the lore in this book reminded me of the House of Night series. While vampires in this book aren't Marked, the queens have strong connection to the goddess and are given powers from them. The vampires also draw power from the blood they drink and have telepathic connections to those they've drunk from. I really liked the world building in this and am excited to see more of it in future books, especially because I suspect those will have lots of court politics.
Okay, world building talk over, lets get to what you really want to know: the sex is fantastic. I do love vampire erotica, and this delivers on every level. You get every combination possible with our three main characters just in one book, all including incredible blood-drinking scenes. Luckily, I also really liked the three leads so I'm actually invested in them outside of their sex lives and want to continue in the series.
The entire series is on Kindle Unlimited, do yourself a favour and check this out, especially if you've been looking for some good paranormal erotica.

“Take my blood. Take my body. Use me any way you desire. I’m yours.”
