This is another Carina Alyce novella which is the start of a romance, one that ends on a cliffhanger and makes you desperate to dive into the next story. Sadly, I couldn’t actually find Jordan and Claudia’s full-length tale. But, I’m definitely keen to try and find it again in the future. Luckily for me, I have plenty of other Alyce stories in my shelves to fill in the time!

Queen of Diamonds ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. Rather than the couple being together for their happily ever after, they are at a pretty big crossroads in their lives. Plus, there’s the hint that Claudia may or may not be the guilty party that Jordan has been hunting for. I want to believe that she’s innocent, but I also kind of like the idea that maybe she isn’t, and maybe she’ll still end up with the gorgeous policeman anyway…

Alyce creates a wonderfully high-paced novella with a whole lot of steamy yum thrown into it. There is the constant foreshadowing that things aren’t going to end well, but it doesn’t detract from the fact that I raced towards the end of this tale. It was one that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I really want to read more and more of Alyce’s writing now!
