*I was given a complimentary copy of Queen of Hearts for an honest review.After being left with a hell of a book hangover and slightly miffed after a cliffhanger of an ending, I jumped at the opportunity to read Queen of Hearts early. I needed to know immediately what happened to Jayne King, Flynn McGuire, Vince, and that massive jerk hole Doyle McGuire. Queen of Hearts is full of suspense, angst that comes with two completely stubborn main characters, and off the charts steamy chemistry between Jayne and Flynn.We begin with Jayne living away from Las Vegas. She fled her life after it completely fell apart in a blaze of gunfire and deception. She loses every single person that was important to her. Going back to her hometown in Oklahoma, she tries to live a simple life complete different from her existence as a high priced call girl. As much as she tries to transform herself into a different person, her old life permeates every thought. She does find a connection with Jackson, the owner of the diner where she waitresses. He is a down-to-earth, gorgeous man who wants more from Jayne, but she is unable to open her heart to him. Flynn still weighs heavy on her heart. After receiving a visit from an unexpected person from her past, she decides to go back to Las Vegas and confront the problems and danger she desperately tried to escape.The plot line for the Queen of Hearts is more fast paced and action packed than See Jayne Play. Jayne is determined to find out what happened to Flynn, Vince, and her father, despite the attempts by her friends to stop her. I love Jayne’s tenacity. She’s a very strong willed character, something I love in my heroines. I was a bit upset with Flynn’s character at the beginning of this book. I really wanted him to step up a bit more when pursuing Jayne. But Jami redeems him in my eyes with the lengths he goes to protect her later on in the story. Vince’s character infuriated me throughout the whole book! He was secretive, combative, elusive, and just plain aggravating. I loved every minute of it! His storyline with Kelsey has me wanting more. I hope Jami continues the series with their story. I really enjoyed all the secondary characters I had one problem with this story, however. I wanted more scenes with Doyle McGuire’s character. The reader is told of all his nefarious ways, but never shown them. I would like to see his evil character in action. I think it would have really cemented his place as the bad guy in this book instead of just being told he was terrible.Queen of Heart is a addicting, fast paced read. I really enjoyed the suspense aspect of the plot. The characters are wonderfully complex and flawed. The sex scenes are romantic and steamy. I look forward to more books my Jami Denise. I give Queen of Hearts 4 out of 5 stars!Written by Dee McGee - Booze, Bookz, and Bad Boyz
