rmpett 's review for:
Queen of Roses
by Briar Boleyn
What a brilliant first book of the series. I received this ARC following the release of the fourth book, so I could happily read the entire series back to back and not have to wait for them to be released which I loved.
Positives:
- the MMC is drool worthy. The little things he does for the FMC, the level of protection he provides, the silent brooding vibe you get from him
- the very very very slow burn enemies to lovers vibe from this first novel
- the world building even from the start is brilliant and sets a really good precedent for the rest of the series to build from
- you really HATE the FMCS family from the get go, so even though she can be frustrating, you side with her immediately due to her mistreatment and how munch h you hate them.
Negatives:
- the love triangle!! We already know who we want to end up together and the fact there is another person shoving their way into their relationship annoys me!
- the FMC is incredibly meek and gives off ‘I feel very sorry for myself and everyone else should too’. It annoys me and makes me dislike her in this first book.
The cliffhanger at the end really threw me off and thank god the rest of the series has been released because I cannot cope with having to wait to find out what happens!!
This was a 4.5 star read for me. Thank you to Briar Boleyn for this ARC.
