Our love has become poison and it’s killing us slowly. I hate how I can’t control myself around him. I hate how I always forgive him. I hate that he consumes me. Because Alexander is in my blood. His heart beats in my chest.He owns me.But I can’t see past his betrayal and his lies. Not this time. I don’t know if our love can survive this, because I’m not the girl that fell in love with him … because I’m not the girl that fell in love with him anymore. I’m a queen and everyone, even him, will bow to me.
Every family has its secrets. The Royals more than most. The next seductive chapter in the Royal World is hotter, darker, and wilder than ever. You think you know this story? Think again.

A do not miss follow up to Wicked King!
This is the continuing story of King Alexander (X) and Queen Clara. What a story it is. There is never a dull moment within it. The writing is superb and well understanding. There was no way I could put this book down for a minute while reading it. Alexander and Clara are still obesessed with each other, but they still have trouble between them. I will give no spoilers here. Just know that this is an amazing book, with an amazing cliffhanger to boot. Kudos Geneva Lee for writing this series.
These royals claimed me! 4 stars
This book starts where Cross Me left off, so it needs to be read first. This is the middle book, so it seems everything must fall apart to come back together. It was heartbreaking to read the falling apart, but beautiful to read the coming back to together. I went through a roller coaster of emotions in this intense book, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I can’t wait to see what happens in the conclusion to this trilogy!
This had me on my seat . The characters are well developed and engaging with a storyline that flowed smoothly and easily.

This book totally claimed me with how amazing it was. This book picks right up where the last one left off. Heart racing, pulse pounding good with a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for #3.
Clara and Alexander’s marriage has reached a breaking point. Secrets and more secrets! Alexander has to work on his communication skills. He is arrogant and continues to think just because he makes the final decisions he does not have to share process with anyone.
Clara is tired of feeling left out. Their marriage was based on trust – physical and emotional. The physical part was never a problem or so she thought. But finding out this last secret she could not stop from punishing X. Separate bedrooms!
As her pregnancy continues, the amount of stress and additional difficulties continues to burden Clara. She feels she cannot talk to X and so she turns to her best friends Belle and Edward. They are willing to support her and share the burdens.
Be prepared for the cliffhanger of all times at the end of this book. Never has Clara been in so much trouble.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
Geneva Lee knows how to keep a girl on the edge of her seat! Wicked Queen takes us through the cliffhanger of Cross Me and dives into the ramifications of that secret. As with the first story, and in this world, we get a steamy read with a lot of push and pull, angst, and pushing limits.
I can’t wait for the third book- the suspense is killing me!
Claim Me by Geneva Lee is the second book in her new Royal World series. This book is told in dual POV between Alexander and Clara, the king and queen of England. Picking up where book one left off, secrets are exposed, relationships are crumbling and the tension is high in the palace.
Well-written and well-paced, this book was hot as hell, sinfully crafted, intriguing and utterly captivating, the Royals of Geneva Lee’s world are some of my favorite! The twists and turns in this book will make your heart bleed. With another cliffhanger ending that will leave you desperate to know more, you absolutely must read book. Book three, Consume Me, comes out in just a couple of short weeks on June 24, 2019. I absolutely loved this! Enjoy!
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
Y’all. This stuff is gettin’ sticky! We have lots going on in the Royal Family. Secrets galore and assassination attempts too! You’re going to have to be prepared for anything in this edition of the Royal World.
Clara is mad as fire at Alexander…but only because these two don’t communicate! I swear that’s the #1 issue with couples – fiction and non-fiction. You have to talk…otherwise you’re just screwed. I mean talk to each other not just your friends or your husbands brother. Hear me?
So Clam Me is an interesting novel with loads of things happening with the royals. Clara no matter how much she doesn’t want to be she’s become an ostrich to what’s happening in the monarchy itself. I’d picture a Queen to be much more involved with how the country is run and what’s required to be Queen.
Sometimes I guess it’s better to be in the dark. Once those secrets come to light you can’t put them back in the dark again. I am looking forward to seeing how book three – Consume Me – turns out. I think I have a handle as to who the puppeteer is but I’m not willing to say until I prove my theory.
Who do you think is causing all the havoc?
Wow, this was one hell of a wild ride.
The story in this second book in the series picks up exactly where Cross Me left off. And as it says in the blurb this book is hotter, darker and wilder. If you are up for drama, romance, scorching chemistry and danger, then you won’t be disappointed. This book has it all.
To be honest, the drama was a little bit too much for my tastes and I was somewhat frustrated with Clara’s behaviour at times. She does get angry with X about things that she herself does. Despite that, I still enjoyed the book. Which, let’s be honest. It’s not that difficult when you have a character such as X who can melt your heart (and your panties) with a few wisely chosen words and a smoldering look. And let’s not even touch on the subject of what he can do between the sheets (or anywhere else for that matter) :D. Let’s just say that if I was on Clara’s place, I would have a smile constantly plastered on my face :D.
But all hotness aside, this story is definitely intriguing. It is enchanting to see how both X and Clara are becoming the King and Queen they are meant to be while at the same time they are still trying to navigate the mine field of emotions, secrets and danger that is shadowing their every step.
One thing I would like to warn you about is the huge cliffie at the end of the book. I nearly threw my kindle when I read the last chapter. It is a biggie so you might want to take precautions 😀 As for me, I can’t wait to get my hands on Consume Me 😉
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Alex and Clara’s story continues
This is my 7th book by Geneva as I love authors who write in dual point of view. This story in the continuation of Clara and Alexander where once again Clara captures Alex in another lie. The story continues with the discovery of Alex’s sister who has awakened from a coma and wreaks havoc on their lives. Will Clara and Alex repair their marriage? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down until you turn the last page in one sitting. Thankfully the next book Consume Me is available as ends on a cliffhanger!
Through much of Alexander and Clara’s story, readers have witnessed X’s domineering demeanor, both as a royal and as a man; we’ve watched this dark and dominating alpha male kneel in front of the love of his life, asking her to be his…to bring light to his world…to show her that it’s possible for him to have it all, even if he didn’t deserve it. And while these two have definitely had their trials and tribulations, the one aspect of their lives that has always remained is their undying love for each other…the devotion they feel towards one another, but with the secrets and lies that Alexander seems to still be hiding, as Claim Me begins, it’s unclear whether they will make it through this new hurdle unscathed, especially given the fact of what is happening to their family and what’s at stake for their marriage, their family, and their kingdom.
X and Clara have always communicated best with their bodies and mouths, not using them for holding conversations, but for pleasing one another, bringing each other to orgasm, teasing each other and thoroughly fucking one another to the point of exhaustion. But while they’ve always been able to work things out between the sheets, that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer. There’s been too many lies…too many secrets…too many conversations left unsaid, and that is not only problematic for their marriage but for their positions as King and Queen, and if these two don’t figure out a way to communicate with words, openly and honestly, those rising up against them…those who threaten to destroy so much more than their marriage will acquire the upper hand and upend everything Alexander and Clara have endured in order to get to this point in their lives.
In Claim Me, Clara becomes a woman to be reckoned with, which, in my opinion, is about damn time! I know how much she loves X and how much giving up control to him gets her off, but there have been too many promises made to her that he doesn’t seem capable to deliver on, and he needs to understand that, that is unacceptable. He can’t constantly let her down and think that there aren’t repercussions to his behavior. Does she go about things the right way all the time? Absolutely not…but she’s in quite the precarious position and there’s a delicate line to walk, and in the simplest terms, she’s a human being – one whose title makes things difficult for her, forcing her to wear a mask, but it’s a facade that can’t help but slip at times, which proves that even queens make mistakes and lash out when they shouldn’t but that just means they love hard and demand what they deserve from a partner.
Even though X and Clara struggled in Claim Me to remember that they are stronger together, happier together, when it truly matters, their love shines through and remains steadfast despite the disasters they’ve had to deal with and the upheaval of their lives due to an unexpected new resident in their home. But this king and his queen are nowhere clear of the drama, the threats, or the chaos that surround them, and with where they end up at the end of this book, there’s no telling what these two will do to protect the throne, their family, but most importantly, each other.

3.75 Stars
I had to take stars away for two reasons.
1. The pace of the story.
It was slow & repetitive up to 27%
2. A lot of editing errors.
There were just a few in the beginning. As the story progressed they became more frequent.
Mostly they are words in the wrong place. Some were incorrect words.
After the 27% mark the story took off like a rocket.
The mystery of who is behind the conspiracy continues.
There is suspense and intrigue on nearly every other page.
The adult romance between X & Clara is so hot & steamy it nearly melted my kindle!
They are great characters and I loved reading about their relationship.
How they are both muturing. Clara is definitely becoming a Queen to be reckoned with.
The other characters are well written and so easy to connect with.
Definitely a great Saga and I can’t wait to get my hands on Consume Me.
This one ends on a ‘Whopper’ of a cliffhanger!
I don’t normally read books that are ‘To Be Continued’, but these are to good to not eat up like candy. And the cliffhanger is about the (view spoiler)
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Geneva Lee just makes the torture worse with each book in Royal Saga. My heart literally can’t take it anymore. The sensational, intriguing and sensual story of Alexander and Clara has captured my heart and soul.
I don’t know where to begin with this story. Each time I feel I have a grip on what is happening in the story, the author gives it another twist and I never see them coming. I love Alexander’s over possessive, dominating and confident personality wrapped in royal finesse and grace. He hides his darkness and rage but it comes out time to time. And Clara is just an amazing woman. Life keeps throwing punches but she never backs down. She is really the queen not only by title but by her personality. She handles the chaos of royal life with grace and strength but her character gets real each time she breaks down. Their connection is simply magical. Their love is going through the most difficult times. I love the raw passion, intense emotions and erotic sensuality in their relation. Their trust and love run deep and creates a barrier against the conspiring world.
I have become obsessed with Geneva Lee’s writing. She is making me crazy with all the cliffhangers. I could not put it down and devoured it like it’s my last read on earth. This is exceptional brilliance. I am craving from more while my heart is dying from all the angst, heartbreak and secrets.
Received ARC for Honest Review through Booksprout
This series is totally heating up! I enjoyed the first book, but all the little things that frustrated me in the first book were cleared up by this one. This was a continuation of the first book and also a series before that. We are neck deep in X and Clara’s marriage and trust is a difficult thing between them and it is not an easy ride for them.
It is an interesting take on everything because the two had already gotten their HEA, so now it is like there is just more stress being put them through. So many secrets have came to light and it is freaking INTENSE! You can tell that there is going to be more coming out and I cannot wait for the 3rd book to shed light on those.
X and Clara have chemistry like no freaking joke and when they are not hurting each other, they have a great relationship. They are trying so hard to keep it up, but can their love last through all of the secrets and all of their obstacles?
PS: I received this book for free but am voluntarily and honestly reviewing this!
All the questions answered only to have more pop up throughout the course of the next book in the Royals series! This book starts right where the previous one left off, and it starts with the bombshell of revealing secrets and answering the questions we were dying from in the last book. The continued twists and never ending secrets make this series what it is, and this book continues the tradition. We continue to see Clara and Alexander navigate through royal life while also maintaining their marriage and the additional changes to their family. I really liked that this book focused a lot on their relationship and how it changes after marriage and even after children. It also really shows the ripple effect of damage that one secret can do to many people. Of course this book ends with another cliffhanger, but the best thing was that I didn’t even see it coming! I continue to get more and more invested in this series after each book, with this one solidifying my obsession!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Just WOW!! Have you been reading this series? I read “Cross Me” and immediately jumped into “Claim Me” and truthfully, my hands are still shaking and my heart is racing. A Royal Story you won’t want to put down once you start. Alexander and Clara have their ups and downs and secrets that could destroy everything they’ve fought so hard to build. The sexual chemistry between these two is HOT, now if the could just learn to communicate with each other. Oh, and there are siblings seemingly coming out of the woodwork, literally. And the bomb that drops at the end of this book will absolutely leave you speechless.
In the first book, Cross Me, it became clear Alexander and Cara are still learning how to navigate a new marriage while being constrained by the throne, and all the people working against them. The last thing they needed was keeping secrets from each other. This was something Alexander needed to learn the hard way and Claim Me showed he finally saw that. Unfortunately Clara still needs to learn this lesson.
I’m frustrated that Clara is still keeping a secret no matter what her reasons are. These two are finally getting solid and that secret threatens it after how much she made his secret keeping a big deal. Despite that, their story is completely consuming me. I absolutely love how much these two love each other. Alexander would literally die for her.
There is dissension between the Monarchy and the Parliament and it seems to be escalating. It’s been escalating since before Claim Me and I can’t wait to see what Alexander will do to protect his family. This ends on an even bigger cliffhanger. I need to know what happens next!!!
This book has everything in it you could possible want. Secrets, answers, deception, lust, love and submission. It had so much bang that I couldn’t put it down. You finally start to see the inner working of X and Clara when boom something so unexpected happens and it leaves you with a WTF moment cliffhanger. I can’t wait for this epic conclusion.
