Release Date: October 1st
Blurb
Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.
The first time I met the boys of the Zodiac Brotherhood, I was forced to my knees for the introduction. Still grieving the death of my parents, I was a child queen, a pawn in my uncle’s agenda for wealth and gain. As my guardian, he had the authority to arrange a marriage upon my eighteenth birthday.
That meeting took place six years ago.
Now those boys are powerful men.
Twelve virile men that want to own me.
And I must spend a month with each one.
Bending and yielding to their desires and commands.
Shedding pieces of my innocence so long as my virtue remains intact.
Because they want a virgin queen after the last month concludes, and my uncle plans to auction me off to the highest bidder.
Out of the twelve men, only one has my heart.
And only one can claim my hand in marriage.
If only it were up to me to decide.

My Thoughts <3
This was a fairly fast, but majorly steamy read.
What happens when your body is not your own? Shoot, even when your LIFE is not your own? You find yourself in the presence of a brotherhood of 12 that you have to spend a month with each of them and at the end, you are auctioned off to the highest bidder. They can do whatever they want with you except for take your virginity…..
We are introduced to the Brotherhood as well as our virgin queen- Novalee- who is quite a spitfire and is not going to take all of this lying down. The 12 men are all extremely different and we get more of an interaction with the first one- Liam…. now just 11 more to go… who is going to end up with Novalee?
All in all, fantastic read! The blurb prepares you for what is coming, but you have no freaking clue. Even though this was a fairly fast read, it was entertaining and SUPER hot and I cannot wait to see what happens next- I absolutely recommend this book!
PS: Thank you to Gemma and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly! <3
