This was an interesting book. I found out about it on TikTok when I was looking for a black Female lead. The writing was really easy to follow. This whole book is like a popcorn read, but just like popcorn it wasn’t filling enough, I found myself wanting more from the characters and the story.

So, I read Queenie and the Krakens (2022) a while back and it was OK, like a 2.5 star read and I didn’t care to write a review. HOWEVER, I started reading another book called Brutal Winter (2021) and something seemed *very* familiar.
Box and Slug’s dynamic, a scene between them, and even words exchanged between them are EXTREMELY SIMILAR to early parts between Maximo and Enzo from Brutal Winter. I was hoping that I was wrong and it was a coincidence but I went back and read more of Q&K and even Box’s interactions Queenie are similar to those between Maximo and Winter (except Maximo & Winter are more extreme since it’s a dark romance; I couldn’t finish the book).
It seemed too close to be a coincidence, but if anyone else has read both, let me know if you noticed the same or if I’m trippin.

'“You’re mine. I’m never f*cking giving you up, Queenie. Even when the stars die, and the oceans become a vast desert. When mountains fall to their knees and the sun explodes in the fucking sky, you are mine.'”
I absolutely loved this, I downloaded this on a whim bc the cover caught my attention and it was SO GOOD. I was hooked from start to finish.
I love *everything* about Queenie and her character is amazing. the chemistry between her and the guys was written incredibly well too. the banter had me laughing out loud sometimes.
I loved the writing, the pacing was great, the spice was SO good. this ticked all of my boxes and I definitely recommend if you're in the mood for some a spicy why choose motorcycle club romance :)

The only thing I didn’t like was that it took me a bit of time to fall in love with all of the men and then it was over. Except for Box though, the love never came for him.
Overall, I still enjoyed it.
