“Run, princess. And know that, when I catch you, you’re all fucking mine.”

Jillian outdoes herself with every new release! This one is likely my favorite yet. Low on the angst, high on the all-in MMCs, and loads of action. There are some darker elements, a bit more than you'd typically get from a Jillian West OV, but overall, it is a light read (AKA violent world but sweet romance).

You may recognize some of the characters if you’ve read the Assurance Security Duet. This book is the story of Ranger’s missing sister, Annika. On the run, she finds she cannot hide from her past despite her best efforts. I loved her strength and resilience and how she could be both hard and soft. Her cuddly omega moments were just as great as when she took charge to save herself.

Queen of Spades has given me a new favorite Alpha (Sorry Murphy, you’ve been dropped down to number 2). I am absolutely in love with Grady. Give me all the unhinged and completely, obsessively in love MMCs. A little light stalking, some maiming and murder, and devotion are just what my inner omega needs. On top of being willing to do anything and everything for Annika, he is the sweetest of souls.

This is a fast-burn and very spicy MFMMM why choose romance with the hallmarks of a great OV – heats, knots, slick, scenting, bonding, and group scenes!

Part of the High Roller Omegas world, Queen of Spades can be read as a complete standalone with Annika and her men getting their HEA. You will see some character cameos from the other books in the world, but they can be read in any order.

Omegaverse fans will love this book; I know I did.
