In Defense of the Queen by Michelle Diener

5.0

I love the relationship between Susanna and Parker. They love one another, they trust one another and they are partnership. I like how Susanna tells Parker about the letter her brother brought immediately and they work out the best way to handle it together. I like how even though Parker is the Kings man and loyal his primary loyalty is to Susanna. I love Michelle's heroines - they are strong, smart, practical and likable and Susanna is no exception. However I often find that while her heroes are fine that don't have that same presence - I like them well enough but I don't love them- Parker is the exception. I love him - he is a little bit dark, very dangerous and devoted to Susanna. I also like Harry (our young Parker in training). I enjoyed the story line with the return of assassin Jean and was not at all surprised with the direction that took. Given that Susanna & Parker haven't had their wedding yet I am hoping for another story.
