A Lost Paige by L. RoseMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bonds Are Tightened
This second book of the Hidden Kingdom Trilogy builds on the first nicely. We get to see how the bonds between Paige and her mates are made permanent and how the various mates interact with each other. Here’s a clue, there are quite a lot of MM scenes in this book.
The book is rather full of lots of steamy scenes, but it still manages to move the plot forwards as we get to understand the various supernatural races a little bit better. There is also a rather strong demonic presence in this book, this isn’t *always* bad.
Paige and her loyal subjects have to deal with those within the Hidden Kingdom who don’t want things to change. There are some individuals who don’t want all races to be treated equally because that might threaten their own position, or there are those that don’t think same sex matings should be allowed. Having to fight on several fronts at once can leave a strain, and Paige and her loved ones have to count on each other to pull through.
I like how Paige develops in this book, because she shows her weaknesses as well as her strengths. She shows her emotions to her subjects and its not seen as necessarily a bad thing. She’s still trying to get her head around being a monarch, and struggling with letting others fight her battles for her.
I also like how the relationships with the Queen’s consorts balance each other out. They all have different strengths and weaknesses and not just power wise, but also experientially and emotionally.
I think the next book will be fun, and I can’t wait to read it.
