Release Date: March 3rd 2020 by Georgia Cates Books LLC
Genres: Romance, Contemporary
Emilia—
All I’ve ever wanted was to marry for love.
But girls like me don’t have that luxury.
We are used as pawns in a game we can’t control.
The game? It’s called Mafia.
I was foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.
Luca—
She was promised to me years ago.
And he dared to take her from me.
Dared to touch what was mine.
I put an end to that.
I hope he’s enjoying the view from his dirt room.
Emilia—
My beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen.
But that red gem symbolizes something different for me.
It represents the blood shed by those I love most.
Hell was empty the day we wed.
Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”
Luca—
I saw her as a possession.
A shiny toy I didn’t want other boys to play with.
But she’s so much more.
Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once.
She tastes like everything I’ve ever wanted.
Emilia—
Hidden and patient.
I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge.
But slowly, I feel him possessing me.
His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him.
Hard as I try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.
Luca—
I’m waiting patiently because I already know that she’s mine.
Mine in a way that no one will ever understand.
Even if she hasn’t yet realized it.
For love, I’d do anything.
For her, I’d do everything.
My Review:
In Georgia Cate’s newest release, we are introduced to Emilia Bellini and Luca Rossini. Both have been betrothed to each other as kids by their grandfathers and fathers. It was alliance that would ultimately bring both powerful families together. But neither expected for Emilia to fall in love with her childhood friend, Nic. It was their forbidden romance that would bring Luca tremendous rage, enough to hurt those around Emilia. As a mafia princess, Emilia knows that her life is not completely hers and that marrying Luca will help her family when they are in need. So, she gives in only she has her own hidden agenda and she is going to make sure Luca makes her his queen no matter what.
Luca Rossini is a greedy but highly intelligent when it comes to getting what he wants. He is a dangerous man that will not hesitate to strike back if provoked and that’s exactly what he does to Emilia’s loved ones. With nothing to stand in the way of them being together, he is ready to claim her yet he wasn’t expecting her to give in so fast. She is beautiful and full of wit. With time he starts to like her even more. They were brought up in the mafia world and they both know what their union means to everyone around them. So when their lives are threatened, Luca will do anything in his power to protect his queen until the very end.
I absolutely loved reading Waiting for My Queen, it’s been a while since I’ve read anything by Georgia Cates and this book did not disappoint at all. From the eye catching cover to the intriguing synopsis, Cates completely hooked me in from beginning to end. The characters truly made the story stand out. I can see why Luca would be misunderstood character at the beginning of the story. He is ruthless and not the best person. But as we get to know him better and his relationship with Emilia evolves, he becomes a redeemable character worth rooting for. Emilia is spitfire who knows what she wants and is not afraid to get it. She is a true mafia princess who knows how to stand up for herself and be courageous. There are so many ups and downs in the story, without giving anything away, I truly recommend checking out the book. The ending was perfect for the story and I cannot wait to read any upcoming books by the author in the future. :)
**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
My Rating:
Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn’t looked back yet.
When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her music and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to inspire
{GIVEAWAY!}
