This book is written really well with just a few editing mishaps. The BDSM just wasn't for me being too hard core and at times Ash was sadistic. I couldn't stand that Greer was so smart being a professor, reading people at political events for her grandfather, and spoke several languages, but.....couldn't figure out what a conniving jealous bitch her cousin was!!! Just so much angst! The sex was smoking hot! I didn't care for the back and forth between past and present as I prefer starting at the past then moving to the present. I'm calling it quits at this one....the only thing I'm curious about is how they resolve the issue that happened at the end. ( )

Read 26% and gave up reading. No story line. Just a history of a young submissive and her dominant partner. Even 50 Shades was more interesting. I fell asleep while listening to the audio book. Soo boring. ( )

4.5 Stars

Loved and going to continue the series.
Steamy hot and very intriguing. Mysterious in many ways.

Well written. Well paced.

Would have liked it better if we had gotten some POV from Embry and Max. Drove me nuts not knowing what they were thinking. ( )

Ahhh! what a good book! Better than four stars but not quite five stars. I thought the beginning was stronger than the end but it was all very good. I loved the relationship dynamic and the characters. Didn't love the cliffhanger ending but I am very excited to read book two.


I knew very little about this book going in. I knew a little bit about the relationship dynamic and I knew it was political themed and obviously, based on the series name, I knew it had to do with the King Arthur legend. This book is not exactly based in realism.
The president, Ash, is 36 which,... no. He's also a third party candidate. Nope. Our heroine, Greer, teaches at Georgetown, a pretty prestigious university, even though she only has a masters and not a PhD. That would never happen. It's also pretty funny that Greer is a King Arthur scholar and she never thinks that it's interesting that she meets people with names like Merlin Rhys and Morgan Leffrey and isn't like, comparing them to the characters in the legend or even remarking about it at all.
However, all these unrealistic things are very forgivable and not too distracting. This is a sort of alternate universe US where there is a war against the small country of Carpathia. I thought this all made for an interesting setting for this story so even though I found a lot of this to be unrealistic, I didn't mind.


This Was a relationship dynamic I loved. The way Greer, Ash, and Embry all interacted was exactly what I wanted out of this story. I was a little surprised that they don't all get together until the last 10ish percent of the book. It definitely makes it seem more like the first book of a series. I really like romances that have more than two people but right now, those tend to lean towards being reverse harem, which I like, but I also like dynamics like the one from this story. I think this book set up the relationship very well and while this is clearly the first book of a series, this book gave the next books a lot to build on in terms of the relationship dynamic.


The characters were very well defined and played off each other very well. I think with these sort of romances, it is very important to make sure each character is very distinctive. I think that was done very well here. It was especially successful because those character differences play into the plot and the relationship. These characters are all flawed people and they do not grow and overcome all of these flaws. I think that's a good thing for this type of romance series because it allows you to see character development all through the whole series.


This book will not be for everyone. It is a very steamy, pretty dark romance. However, I felt like I couldn't put it down. I read this so fast and enjoyed it the whole time. I knew halfway through this book that I was going read this whole series back to back. I can't wait to pick up book two and see where our characters go from here. ( )

'American Queen' is the first Sierra Simone book that I read, and it won't be the last one. It is a book that you want to find out what will happen to our three main characters after the cliffhanger that the author manages to give us.
I heard many things about the 'New Camelot Trilogy,' and the first installment in particular. As well as, I hear a lot of things about Sierra Simone.
I love how the erotical plot twists are intertwining with the political issues that are occurring in the novel.
You can feel the emotions radiating from the pages. The sexual chemistry between all three main characters is so hot it's like a flash fire. It's set your soul ablaze and causes your blood to burn. I recommend not reading this at work.
Well, I know that I will continue reading the series pretty soon. ( )
