About this deal

This is the romance between Malone and Aurora, who are representations of Maleficent and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Aurora has made this deal with Malone where she stays with her for two weeks and does everything Malone tells her to do. Malone is just looking for two weeks of a good time and fun, but Aurora has a goal in mind for these two weeks. She plans to enact her revenge. She plans on killing Malone. Soooo.... this one wasn't my favorite. And man, I hate saying that. Its still a Katee Robert, and its still better than most, but it didn't blow my mind the way past entries in the series. Maybe its just because this one has been being built up to for so long, or that I don't want the series to be over. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I just wasn't vibing with it.

She’s been wearing a mask since she started working at the Underworld, and I want to know what lies beneath it.” Queen Takes Rose is a romance about coming to terms with choices. It would appeal to those seeking a story with a Domme/submissive dynamic. At this rate, the entire two weeks won’t end in my revenge being enacted; they’ll end with Malone taking my future the same way she took my past. For nine years, Aurora has been a popular submissive at the Underground. After accepting a deal with Hades many years ago, her contract is about to expire, but she accepts a two-week assignation while still under his protection. During this time, Aurora will have to combat her longstanding feelings toward Malone who is known to be a cold and calculating territory leader in Carver City. This was such a good sapphic romance! I went into this thinking the plot of this book was going to be something completely different to what it actually turned out to be! And I was pleasantly surprised, i thorough enjoyed the twists and turns that ran throughout. Whilst also watching this beautiful love story of enemies realising their feelings for each other! I adore these two with my entire heart!

I didn’t fully buy Aurora’s reason for revenge and I couldn’t understand how on earth she would not have known what her mother was really like all this time. And that’s after trying to buy into the idea that they would have kept her mother on life support for 20 years…that is very not normal and should not have happened. Aurora was also quite different in characterization compared to previously in the series. She's not sunshiney at all here and Malone makes it sound like she wants the real Aurora and that the sunshine was just a facade but I'm not sure. People can be more than they appear, yes, but I didn't see the arc or growth to prove that was the case. But aside from that, it was fun to watch Malone and Aurora go from being at each other’s throats to going at it. Malone is an impressive Domme and I loved seeing how she planned their scenes and gave Aurora what she needed.They’ll make a great team and I can see Aurora being a great asset for Malone as she gets a chance to see what else she can do, beyond being a Club submissive.

This is supposed to be a sort of enemies-to-lovers but I just found a lot of it to be kind of dull. There just was enough actual anger for me, or at least not enough for me to believe. I also just didn't really believe that they were falling in love. Something about the way this one developed just didn't appeal to me. They felt the least romantic to me too (if you can call anything the characters in this entire series have done romantic) which bummed me out because finally there is a f/f pairing that isn't just from an orgy. Glad to see everyone ever is polyamorous and pansexual though. Disneyland be hitting different. I’ve been looking forward to this one because I’ve been looking to read more F/F Romance. However, this one was not what I expected it to be. It felt tedious with unnecessary scenes especially the parts with Sabine Valley drama. I know the author is setting up her new series, but it didn’t add anything to this story.Okay, other than the fact that I'm objectifying and sexualizing these characters. I can't help it, I'm sorry 🤷 But aside from that, it was fun to watch Malone and Aurora go from being at each other’s throats to going at it. Malone is an impressive Domme and I loved seeing how she planned their scenes and gave Aurora what she needed. They’ll make a great team and I can see Aurora being a great asset for Malone as she gets a chance to see what else she can do, beyond being a Club submissive. I knew I loved Aurora from the previous books in the series, and I have loved seeing her character progression throughout the books, finally reaching its peak in Queen Takes Rose. She is incredibly strong, confident and easily loveable! This book felt a bit similar to The Sea Witch, the previous book in the series, and I say that only because both deal with revenge plots. I guess book 2 Learn My Lesson was also a revenge plot, but I felt the plot really dealt more with Meg/Hades’ “marriage in crisis” rather than Hades’ plot against Zeus.
