Queen B’s Decree: Creole Kingpin contains one of my least favorite tropes, the abominable second chance. I usually hate it, because the characters’ separation is often due to a stupid misunderstanding, or a failure to communicate, or something totally avoidable. Luckily, this doesn’t happen in Creole Kingpin.
15 years ago Magnolia and Moses spent two weeks together post-Katrina that changed their lives, and when Moses left, neither of them were able to forget the other. Only problem is Moses left and never reached out or contacted Magnolia again. Understandably, she’s a tad bitter.
In fact, that’s what I liked about Magnolia the best. She didn’t weakly simper or immediately forgive Moses for his silence over the years. She made him earn it. And Moses? While he was persistent and didn’t give up in his pursuit of Magnolia, his point of view showed some true regret and longing.
So much drama, suspense, mystery, and heat. Creole Kingpin ends on a cliffhanger, and not surprisingly, I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the entire read. Constantly wondering what will happen next and how can they fix this?! Absolutely riveting. Another sensational read by Meghan March.
