Queen Takes Rose is the final installment in the Wicked Villains series, and I am so thrilled to have been able to finish this series (although I really need to read Sabine Valley soon--this book really teased that world for me) I will admit that this one took some courage to read, because even though this relationship has been teased throughout the whole series, I just wasn't sure if it was something I could do or I knew I needed to be in the right mood for this one. Revenge plots can work that way for me, and I wasn't sure how I felt about Malone to be honest. But I finally braved up and finally read this one and actually considering all the mixed reviews that come into play with this one, I was delighted to actually enjoy it as much as I did. Now its definitely not my favorite of the series, it still was a delightful addition to the series. Now these books aren't for the faint of heart, or if you specifically prefer monogomous relationships than this book or many of the others in the series are not going to be for you.



Queen Takes A Rose is a story that begins with one of our heroines, Aurora. She has two weeks left in her contract with Hades, but when Malone makes an offer for her for two weeks in her home, Aurora says yes to it. Malone and Aurora once had a scene together a long while back, but both of them have ignored each other since. But Aurora has another reason for agreeing to be with Malone for two weeks. Her mother was put in a vegetating state due to Malone's power grab of her mother's territory. Even though it was twenty years ago, she desires revenge against her Malone. But the more time they are together, the more that Aurora realizes she can't kill Malone. And it isn't until love enters the game, that Aurora has to reevaluate what she wants to do with Malone and if she is willing to let go of the past for a future with her.

She’s been wearing a mask since she started working at the Underworld, and I want to know what lies beneath it

I don't get a chance to read too much f/f romance, and quite frankly, its just not that common to find as one would hope, but these types of dynamics aren't always my thing. And to be honest, it really depends on who is writing these relationship dynamics. Katee Robert is queen when it comes to these type of relationships and I love how she really blends the kinky side of erotic romance with plenty of emotion and heart in the unsuspecting of times. I do wish that these books were longer than they are, its the only element I would truly change about them. But also I would have liked to have seen more heart and feels between these two. There were moments of it, but in comparison to some of the other books and how their relationship was teased, I was hoping for more.



Overall though I found Queen Takes Rose to be a delightful story that added the heights of sexual pleasure, safe exploration of the BDSM culture, an interracial romance that offers delights, heart and passion.
