American Queen (New Camelot Book 1)

Product Information

This book, ugh I don't know. It took a turn for the weird. Not really sure I care for the direction it went and how it all played out. Was there an HEA? yes I just don't know what to think. It kind of just left me going...huh? For two solid weeks, this series owned me. I wasn't just reading it, I felt like I was breathing it. I connected with these characters hard, which surprises me because on the surface, they are not relatable, but beneath, at their core, I totally and completely understood them—maybe not at first, but eventually—every bad decision, every act of cruelty, every sacrifice that had me throwing my phone because they seemed so self-indulgent at the time. And that is the beauty of this series. The ability to witness the same events as they unfold, through three sets of eyes. What made me angry as hell in one book, made me beam in another—discovering that actions I’d deemed as cruel and heartless were anything but.

I'm on hour one of my book hangover and so far, so good. I've finally stopped crying, so there's that. Nine words to describe Greer Galloway, Princess: Smart, naïve, impressionable, submissive, good-hearted, resilient, trusting, confused and strong. Favorite Quotes: I had SO MANY favorite quotes from this book! So I apologize if it’s a lot more than I usually post but it was seriously that good.Once upon a time, there were two warriors who loved the same woman as much as they loved each other. And everything that happened afterwards led inevitably to tragedy.” I wouldn’t be complete without her, and neither would Embry. She was made to be my wife, and we were made to be a three. You’re with me. You’re not with him. You’re giving this to me.” -Embry (I mean..holy hell. All the heart eyes.)

There's Greer, Swan Graceful, Regal in demeanour and Natural submissive to her King. Her unquestioned Loyalty and love makes her the ultimate Guinevere. She's the perfect woman created to embrace the complexed relationship. Her reserved Beauty and Resilient Elegance making her a prized Diva and both Ash & Embry feel honoured to gain audience in her heart. I. AM. RUINED! This book has destroyed me in the most exceptional way! Because it's just that...EXCEPTIONAL! Omg, I thought the wait would kill me, but it was so worth it! It shall be written in the scars of our hearts that Maxen Ashley Colchester is a Giant among men. Divine Love among impudent lovers and Majestic Arthur among subjects. Warned as a girl to keep her kisses to herself, Greer Galloway wants nothing to do with kisses--or love. Twice she's ignored the childhood warning and kissed a man, and both times ended in gutting, miserable heartbreak. Now she's sworn off all romance forever, determined to teach her classes and do her research, and live out the rest of her days alone.It starts with the President sending his best friend to woo me on his behalf, and it ends with my heart split in two. It was interesting to see how Mr. President and his First Lady adapt to the new role of their lover. There are secrets revealed and problems dealt with. And in the midst of it all are steamy scenes which will leave you fanning yourself. American Duchessis the first all-suite paddle wheeler on U.S. rivers, a floating, intimate masterpiece that can carry up to 166 guests through America's heartland. The paddle wheeler, created from a 1995 hull, was completely reconstructed to become one of the most luxurious river cruising vessels in the country, featuring single-seating main dining and entertainment venues, soaring ceilings, and all of the features guests have come to expect on other American Queen Voyages cruises. I just want to make a small note before I finish this section of this post: Fictional or not, everyone falls for each other differently and attractions vary. I like reading romance books because every character is different and each couple or couples have different relationships. Again, it’s 2016 and it’s so refreshing to read about something different because each character and person in this world deserve to find happiness regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, again both fictional and real. Love is love. American King, told from multiple POVs, is a masterfully complex and interwoven tale of seduction, lust, sex, jealousy and love boosted by themes of political intrigue; power, greed, deception, scandal, conspiracy and danger. The life, love, sacrifice and legacy of a God among men! A king to his Prince & Queen! Its ending poetic, likely to inspire new legends.

Ultimately...the end result of this inspiring work is that we can no longer discuss the many evolutions of Arthurian Legend without considering the writing of Sierra Simone in "American King" and the previous two books in "The New Camelot Triology". I knew him as Ash, the soldier I once kissed in a circle of broken glass. I haven’t forgotten his broken promises and forbidden desires. But the country knows him as the leader of the free world, all that stands between us and war. American Prince, book 2 is Emery’s story how he became the second most powerful man on earth while earning the love of his King & Queen. The demons that plagued him, the inner battles he fought and the promises he made… It belongs there. It always belonged there, Ash. It should have been your ring from the beginning.”

Onboard

The emotions, the love, the pain, the sacrifice, the fairytale, everything in this book made my heart race. I loved every single sentence, every single scene. I didn't think it was possible to love these characters more but I was proven wrong. what happens between the three of us is unspoken, navigated spontaneously and in the moment, but there are always certain roles we magnetize to. Greer, the compliant. Ash, the master. Me, the mood-ring of a lover, shifting and changing depending on the day, the hour, the minute.three of us are thoughtless, reflexive beasts, joined so elementally that there’s no separating us. We are one, we are one, and my body burns and sings with the truth. Desperate to have me, Ash sends his best friend Embry to bring me to him. He doesn’t know about the secrets we also keep. Our own tragedies. Our own cravings. The second kiss. Soon, I find myself caught between past and present, pleasure and pain—and the two men who long for each other as much as they long for me. And as war and betrayal press ever closer, we tumble headlong into a passionate love affair that will change the world. On Cumberland and Tennessee River cruises, there is never a dull moment as you enjoy country music in Nashville and sample bourbon, the true American spirit. This is going to be short. Sierra Simone delivers such a lovely conclusion to the trilogy! Told from three different POVs, the story spans several years into the future and shows us the progression of relationship between the main characters.
