Blurb:
The Hunt for the next True Queen of Regulus is upon us.
I never wanted to be queen, yet I find myself swept up in the competition.
I never wanted a man, yet I find myself distracted by three of them.
I never wanted people's gratitude, yet they're cheering my name in the streets.
Warrior.
Defender.
Diplomat.
Leader.
The four key qualities of the True Queen of Regulus. And I have to prove that I have them all.
All I ever wanted was to become the Sergeant of the Watchers for the busiest district in Regulus -- Adhafera. But The Hunt has begun and the desert Queendom is running out of water. Hundreds of women enter and I unwillingly throw my name into the competition. The only other contender who has a chance of beating me is a known cheater.
Now all I want is to become the True Queen of Regulus, blessed by Leo to rule, and to bring water to the people. If only Leo would give me his Mark.
The Sun Queen is Book 5 in the Royal Celestials, a zodiac-based series, and represents Leo. This is a medium-burn fantasy reverse harem romance that can be read as a standalone.
This is the fifth book in The Royal Celestials series but each book can be read as a standalone. I personally haven't read any of the other books and didn't feel like it made a difference. However, if you have read the other books, I feel like you may see a snippit of some previous characters. After enjoying this particular book so much, I am going to add the rest of these to my list for when I get caught up.
The Sun Queen is about Romina Hart. She grew up rough and her goal in life was to make a difference. She wanted to help others. Becoming a Watcher was supposed to do that for her. She worked hard and was finally where she wanted to be. Due to circumstances that I won't mention, she ends up in The Hunt. The trials that will determine the True Queen of Regulus. It is during this competition that we learn who Romina really is and I think she does too. It was really heartwarming to see her grow as a character.
Romina has help during her journey. We have Leander, Tyson, Stryker and we also have Imani. Our three men couldn't be more different if they tried. They all want to see Mina succeed though and that's what brings them all together. Imani quickly becomes a friend and someone who you will come to love just as much as Mina does. I was rooting for her all the way.
As always I don't want to give you any spoilers. I will tell you that going in, I had no idea what this book was really going to be about but I was captivated from the very beginning. The story was intense and had me needing to know what was going to happen next. It has everything you could possibly want. We of course have our romance. We have our hot sexy times, our romantic swoon worthy moments and some moments that make you want to scream at them. We have a lot of action and some twists in there. Definitely some suspense and moments that make you hold your chest to make sure your heart is still working right. The best thing about a standalone, we have an ending that couldn't be any more perfect. Great job by Anita with this one.
