Book Review: Huge thanks to Jessica Jude for the ARC of Queen of Vengeance! The second installment in the Hand of Revenge series absolutely delivered! I'm obsessed with the grumpy/sunshine and enemies-to-lovers tropes, and this book nailed them both! Jessica Jude's writing is both humorous and emotionally resonant. The characters' backstories are so well-developed, and the banter between Lux and Slate is perfection! Queen of Vengeance is just as steamy as Ace of Betrayal, and I am here for it!
*Queen of Vengeance will officially be released on July 1, but you can pre-order it on Amazon right now! Also, if you are interested in reading Ace of Betrayal, it is available on Kindle, unlimited!
Rating: 5/5 🌶️⭐️

Life’s taught me not to expect much. Handouts, fair treatment, a decent parking spot downtown. But dead last on that list? Lux Colombia-Clarke showing up at my door, looking like a damn fairytale with a score to settle.
Her proposal knocks me sideways: find the city’s most dangerous drug dealer, and she’ll make sure my sister gets what she needs. I’d be an idiot to refuse, but every time her eyes cut my way, something dark and electric stirs in me.
She’s trouble wrapped in silk, and I’d be wise to stay clear.
Good thing no one ever accused me of being wise.

Trust me, I can think of better things to do than begging a prime-parking-spot-stealing jerk for help. Like, a million better things. But this leather-clad biker may be the only way to help my brother. If I can endure the boulder-sized attitude he’s carrying around.
We had a deal. One that didn’t include feeling … safe. Protected. Happy. Like, wtf?
In no universe do we make sense together. He looks as out of place in a tuxedo as I do in anything other than vintage Chanel. But when we’re together, it’s like none of that matters.
Until, of course, it does. And then nothing will stand in the way of our epic mutual destruction.
