The Queen's Temptation by Elliott Rose
5.0
4.5/5
Elliott Rose delivers a fun, sexy paranormal romance complete with fae, witches, vampires, curses, and a whole lot of action.
Characters:
Niall and Ruby were fun characters and I truly enjoyed their story. Elliott Rose created a badass female character in Ruby. She is strong, powerful, and determined. You instantly know she isn't going to be a weak or meek character. She is going to steal the show and she does. She also is perfectly matched with the MMC. Niall, her bodyguard, is a detached alpha male who I had fun watching fall apart as he fell for Ruby. He is strong and brooding, but Rose does a good job of giving her male characters depth and you get so many layers when it comes to Niall.
Of course, with these two characters that means you also get some fun sexy scenes (should I mention there are shadows involved?...Yeah, that is all I need to say.) Elliott Rose knows how to write a sexy scene and trust me, this is a sexy ride. Spice meter: 3
Plot:
The plot follows Ruby's rise to power as the Fae Queen. Niall is meant to serve as her bodyguard and deliver to her betrothed. The arranged marriage is meant to secure a strong political alliance, but things go awry when Ruby discovers that Niall is her fated mate and someone she can never have. Rose delivers a solid plot that drives Ruby and Niall's relationship. Both know their relationship has an expiration date, but they cannot help but give in to the mutual attraction they share.
Tropes:
Witch MMC/Fae FMC
Forbidden Romance
Age gap
He’s her Bodyguard/She’s the Queen
Fated Mates
Fake relationship (of sorts)
Forced proximity
This ‘agreement’ between us has an expiry date
Ancient curse
