Second time around and I still loved it. Only reason I’ve knocked off a star is the single POV, which sometimes results in some long winded inner dialogue.
This book is definitely 🔥🔥🔥

Original Review:
This is book 1 of a M/M/F relationship. This is not a standalone. Ash has such a dominant presence and Greer is very easy to like as she ...more

Not what I expected.

I am a fan of Sierra Simone's work but American Queen I would say was kind of a let down sadly. Greer was sweet and innocent all the way through the book, wouldn't speak her mind and let people walk over her. I couldn't connect with the characters all that much either. Plus I felt this was pure insta-love.

I wanted to like this book, the blurb... I couldn't get enough of it. ...more

Incredible, provocative and raw are the first three words that come to mind when I think of the first book in the American Queen Trilogy by Sierra Simone. This is the story of falling in love in a very unconventional way - rules, social norms and politics will all stand in their way, but some things are worth fighting for.
