The Queen by Steven JamesMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I love Patrick Bowers and Tessa, and it was another great book in the series, though it was not my favourite in the series.
Patrick and Tessa have an even deeper and closer father-daughter relationship and Patrick and Lien-Hua's relationship is also going somewhere. I always enjoy the honest vulnerability we see in Patrick in the way he deals with relationships, and yes, again he has some skeletons from the past which cause a threat to his happiness.
As for villains, Alexei was probably the most intriguing one I've met. One with a very serious moral code of what offenses is allowed and which is over the line and should never have been done.
It was not my favourite suspense plot of the series, but I still enjoyed it and looking forward to the next one!
