Blurb:

War has destroyed four-fifths of the population. Governments have fallen. A former covert agent wanders the wilderness, lending her skills where she can. She is crowned queen for her efforts and meets the warrior who is her match. He’s handsome, courageous, and good-hearted, but at a young age was recruited by the most evil warlord walking the land. He’s sent in as a spy to bring back the beautiful queen. Shock is in store for him when he meets her. He doesn’t want to bring her back for execution, but if he doesn’t, her people will be slaughtered. For love, he chooses to save those she cherishes.

He watches while she’s taken captive, not lifting his sword in her defense; watches her suffer punishment and in agony can do nothing about it. This queen and her warrior will battle evil, but will the price be their love or their lives?

REVIEW:

For The Love of a Queen is set in post-apocalyptic California. We join Nayda and her friend August in the first few pages, while they have a conversation which brings us all up to date. While it was a little banal and irritating to have it spelled out for me, rather than shown to me, it did allow for a quicker jump into the story.

Nayda is blessed/cursed with visions, and she sees herself marrying this man before ever meeting him. Jeff is a tough warrior, and so is Nayda, and their swordplay actually draws blood. Still, before too long into the story, they're talking about love and marriage and forever. I did find myself missing some intimacy. After chapters of build up, the emotional love scene lasts all of a paragraph.

For the Love of a Queen is book I would recommend for a reader looking for a tough as nails heroine and PG rated love story.
