Description
“Shall we begin?” When spoken by my new husband, these three little words fill me with terror and anticipation.
In private, King Henry rules my body like he rules his country—with unrelenting control and passion. I crave his orders, his punishment, his commands. Outside the bedroom, we’re strangers caught in a web of lies and decadence.
Our marriage is a sham, a business arrangement devised to save my life and secure his crown. He doesn’t love me. He loves my body, controlling it, shaming it, worshipping it. To survive the dangers at court, I need to be smart, but it’s hard to think straight with a man like Henry between my legs.
Each night, he locks the bedroom door, determined to teach me a new lesson. Obedience, patience, trust. I lie awake in bed waiting for the sound of his footsteps and the latest installment in pleasure and pain. My heart pounds when the hinges creak and his broad shoulders block the door. I’m not ready, but I can’t wait to feel his hands on me. He shoves his bowtie into my mouth, binds my hands to the headboard, and whispers in my ear…“Shall we begin?”
From USA Today bestselling author Jeana E. Mann comes this dark, contemporary romance filled with twists, turns, and unprecedented heat.

5By junglejneI paid 4.99 for book and it will only play thro page 69It had a lot more chapters but wouldn’t playWonderful Story
5By PenSLLI love this book. I enjoyed reading Everly coming into her own. She is a strong and compassionate character with a little bit of bend. Her husband King Henry is ruthless, strong and domineering. I enjoyed seeing Henry tempering his ruthlessness with his love for Everly. This duet was wonderful and I couldn’t put it down. I finished both books within days. I am looking forward to reading more from Jeana Mann.Great read

5By MissPaigeNI really liked this book. It was a really great continuation of The Royal Arrangement. Of course many times I wanted to shake the main characters for being silly but in the end they had a happy ending that was so sweet and I really appreciated the 2 epilogues! :) I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Good, but could be better.
3By Nsean RichardsUnfortunately.. I was under-impressed with this book series. I can’t exactly pinpoint it but something was definitely missing. Henry’s POV was probably the saving grace of the entire storyline. Don’t get me wrong it was still good. But it could have been much better. I found myself bored and contemplating whether or not to finish it. It seems that Everly’s “attraction” to her husband often outweighed her common sense and better judgement in ways that were unrealistic and unhealthy. She came off as a young girl pining for the approval of her husband even though he was incredibly unkind to her. However, from Henry’s point of view you could see how he fell in love. You could see his feelings develop in a way that felt more.. authentic? Maybe that was what was missing from Everly’s point of view. Despite all of this, I’d be willing to try another book by this author because outside of this experience I’ve heard good things about her work.Royal Excellence
5By VickSt1This book is the second novel in the Rebel Queen duet written by Jeanna E. Mann. The beginning of this book starts out with the marriage ceremony between Prince Heinrich (Henry), who is to be crowned king with the assassination of his father, and Everly McElroy, the daughter of a previous US Vice President accused by her of murdering his mistress. This fake marriage secures Henry’s crown and protects Everly from her father’s vendetta on her life. This couple works together to improve the conditions in the country and save Henry’s kingship after his father’ dismal and corrupt reign. Jeanna Mann has authored a well written book which has amazing characters, an outstanding story line with intrigue and steamy sexual chemistry, and a plot that makes this novel an addicted read which you can not put down. I strongly recommend this book, however, you will need to read the first novel of the duet (The Royal Arrangement) to understand the Rebel Queen. Excellent read!!

4By ClearHKing Henry's mother and Everly's father made two of the worse parents ever. I've got to admit I anxiously awaited their punishment for their selfish, cruel, and evil ways. Kudos to the author for providing retribution to satisfy my bloodlust for justice. I especially enjoyed the way Henry finally put his mother and his devious ex fiancée in their places, allowing Everly to wield his power and control over them. While there were many graphic scenes between this couple that incorporated BDSM, the scenes were not overdone and did not go on and on and on. The author had a good sense of timing and pacing with the intimate scenes they shared. Not really over the top, but it was very evident how Henry was unwillingly falling for Everly. I also liked the way Nicky pulled through for both Henry and Everly. A very satisfying read full of political intrigue, betrayal, and suspense. I enjoyed the tale this author wove and the way it was all pulled together at the end. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.4stars
4By Evieo17Awesome ending to the duet. I loved the heat/chemistry between Henry and Everly. Their encounters will leave you breathless. I highly recommend this duet.Review: Rebel Queen Duet 2: The Rebel Queen
5By LisaHines711The Rebel Queen by Jeana E. Mann is the second book in her Rebel Queen Duet . The full-length story of what happens next following on from The Royal Arrangement and our introduction to Everly and Henry. Well-written and well-paced this book was SOOOO steamy! The back and forth that Everly was experiencing about her emotions for Henry was not my favorite but I can't say, honestly, if I was ever fortunate enough to be in her stilettos that I wouldn't have the same doubts. While the premise of marrying a hot wealthy prince/soon-to-be king is NOT everyday normal the characters were still very real and well fleshed out. I am definitely a new fan of Jeana E. Mann and have already started reviewing her book list to see what I want to read next... Enjoy!Loved!!
