ClareR (5996 KP) rated The Queen of Fives in Books
Sep 30, 2025 (Updated Sep 30, 2025)
I loved this: it’s pacey, rip-roaring, the historical detail is on point and the story itself is unputdownable. The characters were fascinating, and I was cheering from the sidelines for Quinn, the Queen of Fives, even though her goal is to rip off the landed gentry (not such a bad thing, surely?!). The moral greyness of this is at peak level!
The narrator, Polly Edsel, is perfect and brings the cast of characters to life.
There’s dishonesty, family honour, independent strong women, peril, love, lies and fraud.
Highly recommended!

Samantha Reece (16 KP) rated The Dragons Of Sin City Box Set (Dragons of Sin City, #1-3) in Books
Nov 14, 2018
I loved all three of the books in this box set!
The men: Cade, Noah, and Grant are all alpha (dragon) males, and I loved them all. Cade was my favorite. He is very protective and exciting. The women: Hope, Claire, and Freya are all independent women. My favorite was Hope. Maybe because her story is with Cade!
Ridley did a great job on character and world-building. All three books flowed together well, and it was easy to fall into reading and envision her words.
I would recommend this box set to paranormal lovers. Especially if you love dragon shifters! All in all, these books are exciting and worth the read.
