Queen B’s Decree: The Secrets of Jane: Forgotten has one of the best kinds of the enemies-to-lovers trope—the “you’re my captive” kind of enemies.
Jane has been hiding in plain sight for the last decade, but her past has finally caught up to her, and mercenary Soren captures her. There is so much push and pull between them, and honestly, Soren is kind of a dick. To be fair, he never claims to be anything but, and regardless, I loved his verbal sparring with Jane.
Soren is clearly obsessed, wanting all of Jane’s history and secrets—even though he won’t admit why he’s so determined to learn everything. And Jane is drawn to Soren with just as much intensity.
I loved the mysteries and the storyline, full of pirates and thieves, even the side characters were captivating. I think Bones needs his own story, thank you very much. Overall, I can’t wait for the next in the series.
