Description

I summon the dragon. I claim my throne. The warlocks of Icarus Academy claim me.

I start my night with a heist in a Catwoman costume at a Vegas casino…and end up shifting into my dragon form for the first time ever in mid-plummet from the roof.

Except I can’t actually fly. Oops.

Turns out being the first dragon shifter queen to rule the witching world (while I’m simultaneously a student at the Icarus Academy) isn’t, like, a party. Especially when I go into heat. Because now I have…needs…that no warlock at the Academy can satisfy. Plus the only full-blooded male dragon shifter on the planet intends to kill all my warlocks and make me choose just him for my king.

As.

If.

Sweet Jesus, this Maxim guy’s causing a world of trouble. Vasili and Ronin are fighting over whether to kill him or kiss him. My wolf shifter headmaster Lucius has his paws full trying to keep us all from getting expelled. And my sweet bookworm Neo needs something new we’re all afraid to give him.

When a rival rises to threaten my throne, it’ll take major trust between me and all my warlocks—including that vicious dragon I’ve sworn I’ll never claim—to save us all from an assassination attack we'll need a miracle to survive.

Gemini Kings is a spicy New Adult dark witch academy why-choose paranormal romance and the sequel to Gemini Queen. This deadly duet delivers a seductive and lethal warlock court, teacher-student forbidden love, possessive alphas, sexy shifters, extended and explicit group encounters, first-time MM, bi awakening, a satisfying climax (no cliffhanger!), and enough extreme steam to set your Academy uniform on fire!

Content notes: This book contains mentions of pregnancy, past childhood abuse, and internal homophobia to be overcome as part of one hero's journey. There is no on-page abuse, pregnancy, or external homophobia, but these topics are mentioned.

This book is the sequel to Gemini Queen, which is available free on Kindle Unlimited.

Advance Praise

"This was my first (and definitely not my last) book by Laura Navarre and it was amazing! I mean…Holy Hotness Batman!! This book was?! Whoa. The spice level is off the charts! The MM is some of the hottest I’ve read and sweetest too.

But beyond the spice was this super sweet polyamorous love story and love between the harem members. There were so many times I ohhed and awwwed over lovely things. I just love this book and all the characters! ❤️"

--Amazon reviewer

"Zara is such a strong but also playful and fun FMC. Neo, Ronin, Lucius, and Vasili are all well written characters with personalities that compliment not only Zara but also all of her other mates as well. The incredible spice was definitely an added bonus to this wonderful poly relationship they built!"

--Amazon reviewer

"Not for the vanilla set. This is a fast burn reverse harem with MM and VERY steamy! It still has a great plot, different pov voice in the writing, and wonderful character development. Action packed, quick read with a STRONG FMC. Loved this book!"

--Amazon reviewer

"Jeeze louise! I’m on fire!!!!!! Holy hotness, I loved this book! My poor family got shouted at for daring to try and distract me from reading. I mean, well ok, I fed them eventually……plot was brilliant, completely engaging. I loved the characters... walking wet dreams….If you like your books 🌶🔥, you’re gonna love this book."

Hot, supernatural and very spicy! However you may wanna check trigger warnings prior to reading to see if your up to it. I thought this was very good and it was a quick read for me. Just what I needed.

4.5/5 stars! This is my first book by author Laura Navarre. I didn't realize this was a sequel and readers would likely benefit from reading Gemini Queen first. I really liked this story. It flowed well and had a lot of sassiness, which I love. It reminded me a bit of K.F. Breene's Ruin of Roses with the dragon shifter aspect. But it was spicy, and sexy, and run and had me wanting more.

Thank you Ascendant press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Zara has accepted her warlocks and she's acclimatized to the academy, but it's too quiet to be true. After a revenge/heist at a casino in Vegas (without telling the others), she discovers she can shift into a dragon and a full-blood man dragon want to claim her as his alone. The dragon shapeshifter makes the worst mistake, can he convince her to rejoin her harem? How will her other witches react and what will be the worst threat to her?

Gemini Kings is the sequel to Gemini Queen. I love the book, but not as much as the first. I loved the new vulnerable side we see in some characters like Vasili. I laughed so much with the reference to Star Wars and the author keeps surprising us at the end. The storyline was less balanced for me. Her heat takes too much place. (My personal opinion) The spicy scenes are not for beginners and they are really well written.

You will find in the book:

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I read the first book and is good. So I moved on to reading this book to and I love the pace of the book and read most of the book before I realized it. I have a thing for dragons. The guys can be a little hostile and some are sweet and gentle. The teacher-student thing still is not a thing for me but some of the other relationships just pull me in. There is a lot to love about this book.

This is a reverse harem academy book. Zara is trying to settle into life at a supernatural private academy with her group of guys and hesitatingly mastering her lethal magic. Of course, things get even more complicated when she turns out to be a dragon shifter and there is a dragon shifter male determined to claim her as his mate and he has no qualms about killing the rest of the males in her life. And there is another possible claimant to the throne. Will Zara be able to handle all this and pass the grade?

There is a lot of sex here, explicit, and of many types. There is also a storyline and action (not only of the bed kind, or whatever other surface there is). I like that there is an actual relationship between the guys of her harem, not just between her and each of the men. This type of life won't work if there isn't some sort of relationship between everyone in the group--and it doesn't have to be a sexual one. Compromise and communication is the name of the game. It takes work.

If you like some heat in your read, this may be right up your alley, particularly if you are open to things. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

In this sequel to Gemini Queen, Zara and her harem are working on balancing their polycule, when outside forces threaten Zara's right of succession. First her father lures her out of Icarus Academy to kill her, then a foreign dragon arrives and demands to be made her king all while rumours of a lost queen begin circulating. Between mating bites, shifter heat cycles and scool work, Zara, Ronin, Vasili, Lucian and Neo will need to figure out who is behind the chaos and come up with a plan to cement Zara as the next queen.

If you've read the first book, expect more heat and pairings as the 'kings' set boundaries between them. The addition of Maxxim throws a wrench in the works - in more ways than one,

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this book and I’m so glad I did. The book was amazing, it follows on from the first book and allows us to see Zara progress - we get to see her develops in her poly relationships while she gets stronger with controlling her powers and getting ready to ascend to the thrown. I’m glad we got this book as I feel Zara’s story is not ready to be finished yet, I hope we get more and more books. I honestly could not put it down- loved it.

Gemini kings by Laura Navarre
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶

Gemini kings follow Zara the dragon queen on her journey to claim the throne. While navigating the obstacles of her harem and the possibility of those dynamics changing.
I love her sass and her dominance.
There is plenty of spice for the supernatural spicy lovers, there’s inter species, there’s lots and lots of steamy scenes with thruples and more.
The story is good and told from multiple points of view.
All in all I enjoyed this book and it’s characters.
Thanks for writing something that is so inclusive and easy to love. ♥️
