This was a great story- not only was it romantic and hot, it was sarcastic and witty, which added to the flavor altogether. A different vampire and fantastical creature tale, there was depth as well as plot twists, in all just a lot of fun. There will hopefully be a sequel, as some supporting characters got themselves in a mess towards the end, and the main characters still have some hurdles and truths to sort out. I’ll be looking forward to reading that as well!

A twist of Twilight with the sexiness of Vampire Diaries mixed together and you have Queen Of Vampire Hearts.

This was a true page turner I could not put it down. I want more, and thank goodness that this is book 1, which I hope several more are followed and well executed.

If your a huge fan of dark Vampire novels I highly recommend this book to you !!

This is my honest opinion!

Loved reading the awesome and amazing paranormal story. Lucien, King of the Vampires, finds his mate, Phoebe, a witch. Since Lucien doesn't want Phoebe to keep disappearing, he puts magical cuffs on her and brings her back to his castle. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, full of action and romance, and a must read love story. Can't read to read the next story in the series.
I reviewed a copy of the book through NetGalley.

Phoebe and Lucien each have their own stuggles and needs throughout this book, and despite the book’s odd start with the first two chapters, I was drawn into the characters and plot. The romance part of the book isn’t cheesy, and it does tie into the plot nicely. This book is a fun read, and I really enjoyed it.

I received an ARC from netgalley, but this has no impact on my review.

Starts off with a bored vampire at an orgy in fairy. Lucien (the last four books I’ve read have had a Lucien), is bored until he meets a woman he’s intensely attracted to. She’s into him too but at the moment of action cries out, “No sex”. It was silly. The characters were not very memorable and the situation was a little tenuous. The storyline for this isn’t bad but there is a lot of sillines in the actions of the characters. Phoebe’s rules from one to five came up way too often; it was annoying. Also, I’m not into the dominant submissive stuff so I didn’t like that aspect. It’s not terrible but could have been so much better if it had been more well thought out and had had better editors.. Some typos and incongruous stuff made it just OK for me. I might read the next one but it had better have a better editing.. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book was good, I wasn't as invested in this book as I thought but did like it. It was written well and the characters were good. Something just didn't click with me. I will give the next book in the series a try just to see.

Hmmm, this book was tricky...

It gave me Black Dagger Brotherhood vibes (the atmosphere, the writing, the characters, etc...) but I think that’s what killed it for me: I’ve already read so many books like that, it’s hard to suck me in. Therefore, I needed a banging storyline to break the mold, but unfortunately it wasn’t THAT interesting for me (but it definitely wasn’t bad).

The characters were alright:
Lucian was the usual alpha-male, king-of-the-vampires deal.
Phoebe was the usual ‘strong and independent’ woman that tried so hard to look *strong and independent* she crossed the line into actually being kind of bitchy on occasions.

In conclusion, it wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t that great. All personal opinions though :)

Straight out of the gate sexy. Leaves the reader wanting more and more they shall get with this story. Provocative beginning, satisfying ending. 5/5 stars for a wild ride well done.

I used to be a vampire fanatic in my teens - who wasn’t? I blame a certain series with fixating me on my obsession (I’m looking at you, Twilight), and after overcoming that obsession in my early 20’s, I don’t think I’ve been interested enough to venture back to my bloodsucking friends. That being said, Queen of Vampire Hearts piqued my interest and I’m so happy to say that it was everything I wanted it to be and more.

The romance was on-point; sexy, steamy, believable and damn crazy. The characters were all great and well developed and I enjoyed Phoebe’s development the most. She was introduced as strong and independent and then just blossomed into a total untouchable badass. I loved that Lucien was by her side, supporting her all the way through. I stan a supportive male love interest. Honestly, I can’t stand love interests who want to dull the female MC’s shine and nothing makes me cringe more than the countless books I come across that do that. Lucien didn’t let me down - he was there for his mate in all ways possible.

The story was fun and I found myself unexpectedly smiling throughout reading it. I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to book two!!

Phoebe Atreus is a witch on the run, her carefully crafted rules have kept her alive for the last decade, each one a product of a hard learned lesson. Rule Number One? Trust No One. She’s been betrayed one time too many to put her faith in anyone else’s hands. When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Jeanette Rose is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

Phoebe Atreus; A witch, wanted by the council for treason.
Lucian Silvano; Vampire king.
After a chance meeting Lucian can't get Phoebe out of his mind and will go to great lengths to get her back.

When I started reading this book... I immediately thought it was lame, even the name "Lucian Silvano" sounded so cheese.
And the ... 'romantic' parts ... I just wasn't a fan.

But this is why I'm so torn, somewhere along the way I became really interested in this plot.
This isn't just about a witch and a vampire who fall for each other. There is a real story in this book, and unfortunately, I think a lot of people may pass this over.

I am giving this book a rounded up three stars-
Even tho I really enjoyed the twists in this book, and I really enjoyed the story behind all the cheesy sexual stuff... For me the story got lost in all the romance.

3.75 stars

Queen of Vampire Hearts is a great start to an undoubtedly fun and sexy series.

Phoebe is a witch on the run after trusting someone who ended up betraying her. After seeking help from the faction that was supposed to support her, they sentenced her to death. In a moment of anger and disbelief, she lost control. Now, she runs and keeps to herself.

Lucien is the Vampire King is suffering from the ennui of living for centuries upon centuries. War, women, bounty hunting, nothing seems to keep his interest, everyone leaves in the end. Just when it seems nothing will stir his interest, he meets her.

Thus begins a very sexy story where the characters must deal with fated connections, betrayal, and learning to trust again.

I will say the book reminds me a bit of the Immortals After Dark series but I'm not mad at it. In the paranormal realm, there are only so many places to go... and as Ms. Cole hasn't put out a book in quite a while I will happily take this series in binge proportions!

I like to snoop on authors and book prior to indulging and to get a sense for what I'm about to binge into... So I believe this is Ms. Rose's first book AND she wrote it because she got tired of not finding anything to read that she was interested in and so she decided to write her own. So, kudos to you Ms. Rose. You did a bang-up job! If I decided to do that it would probably make as much sense as my 5-year-old when he comes back from his grandparent's house after being given a steady stream of sugar and crap food.

In the end, I will say that while the writing could use a bit of polishing, I am absolutely certain that this series will bet better and better. I am looking forward to more.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for this generously provided ARC!

Queen of Vampire Hearts by Jeanette Rose is a book I happened to stumble across and I’m glad I did as I enjoyed the story.

Phoebe has been on the run because of a mistake she made, and it has taught her to live by a very strict set of rules. The first one being, trust no one. See, Phoebe is a witch and when she trusted her now ex-boyfriend with her family grimoires and he stole them, she was sentenced to death by the council. Unfortunately for them, Phoebe is pretty powerful, so she saved herself at the cost of the lives of many on the council and has been on the run ever since while she searches for her grimoires.

Lucien has been around a long time and as king of the vampires he has seen just about everything. When he is at a party and crosses paths with Phoebe, he is immediately drawn to her and we eventually come to find, she is his mate. While the attraction is definitely not one-sided, Phoebe has been burned before and she isn’t as quick to trust what fate has in store for her.

As Phoebe adjusts to life as Lucien’s queen, she is also still trying to figure out where her grimoires are and what happened to her parents. As the story unfolds, there’s a bit of a twist that makes her question everything she thought about her relationship with Lucien. Sorry, I can’t say much here as I don’t want to ruin the story.

If you are looking for a paranormal (vampires, witches, and wolves!) consider checking this one out. It has some steamy bits and the characters have solid chemistry. There’s also a bit of an interesting twist at the end that will have me watching out for the next book to see where the story goes from there.

It seems I'm in the minority again.

DNF @ 32%

I couldn't get into this AT ALL. I was actually really looking forward to this one, as the summary sucks me in. I'm a sucker (hah get it?) for vampires, so I was already all for it. The start of this book was really odd for me. To me, it just seemed like a strange scene to start off on. While we do get a bit of exposition to explain why Lucien is as distant as he is, it still didn't bring me in. I also didn't get any good impressions of Phoebe either. The scene was just a weird one, in my opinion, for the book to start off on. The actual explicitness of the scene I had no problem with. I would've preferred if it had maybe happened in a later chapter? Again, I had DNF'd this, so just take my review with a grain of salt. I just want to get across that I wasn't enjoying the characters, the plotting, and some pacing decisions were questionable to me.

Overall, I just wasn't a fan and decided that I had other books and ARCs I'd rather get to instead. I'm not shitting on this, and I'll most likely revisit it again when I'm not so swamped with review deadlines.I'll probably pick this up again in a few months. For now, I'm marking this as 2 stars, which is how I felt the book was for me when I stopped reading.

This was phenomenal!!! There is so much awesomeness in these pages. The characters were beautifully written the story had just the slightest twist so as not like every other vampire story. I can not wait to read more.... there has to be more, so many unanswered questions at the end.

This is the first book by Jeanette Rose that I have read and I really enjoyed it. It has many of the things I love in a book ... vampires, , witches, romance...lol.
This is the story of Phoebe, whose a witch, and Lucien the king of the vampires. Lucien is a rather bored playboy who meets Phoebe at a party. Of course he knows she's his fated mate, now he has to convince her. Oh yeah, and let's not forget about the bounty on her head! How does this story play out? Read this book and find out!
The ending has me waiting with anticipation for the next book, you will too!
Thank you NetGalley and thanks to the publisher for sending me this great story!

I loved this book it’s full of mystery and lore. Refreshing story line in which I haven’t heard in this particular way. Romance meets mystery thriller.

Really good story, well written and I loved the premise. The H and h had reasons to feel the way they did about love and watching them overcome their fears was a pleasure.

***arc copy was provided by netgalley.***

This was an amazing read and was nothing like anything I have read before.
It took me a little bit to get in to this book but once I read far enough to understand and got over a few cheesy lines I actually loved it! Imagine that lol

Two powerful immortals, both alone and totally unhappy with the fact. both to stubborn to even think to try and change it. Fate has plans for Phoebe and Lucien their destiny is pre written and all those terrible things that have happened to each one play an important part in what their life’s become.

Lucien is the vampire KING and certainly knows it ;)

Phoebe is a powerful witch and has no idea. She knows she is a witch alright but has no clue what witch she really is.

They are mates even if one does not want to recognize it.

This truly is a book unlike any I have read. Of course there are a few things I had to get use to but for the authors first book she did an amazing job in my opinion. In the end when all was said and done I fell in love with the characters and storyline.
I will be following this author and I DEFINITELY will be reading the next book in line!!!

If you happen to be reading this Jeannette Rose- you are an inspiration and have an imagination only one could wish for!! Congratulations on your first book you have me as follower going forward. I truly enjoyed this read!!!

Great story about two powerful supernaturals, full of twist and turns! Recommend to lovers of Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter!!
