His Queen
I only have one job, know my place, but I’ve managed to side step that rule several times without punishment. In fact, the consequence for breaking the rules meant tasting the forbidden fruit. The Don’s daughter was off limits to everyone except me.
L’AMOUR DE MA VIE
The streets are no longer safe in the city. Le Manchot has turned them into a criminal playground. He took her from me once and was lucky enough to escape alive. Now there’s a bounty on his head. Dead or alive, bringing him to me is the only instruction that matters… No loose ends.
Until then I must keep Quinn caged, locked away and hidden like the precious little jewel she is. Too bad she’s having nothing of it. This woman will be my undoing. Refusing to play the part of a damsel in distress, she plots to take matters into her own hands.
The only remaining move to end this torturous game is to conquer my Queen and return her to her rightful place, wrapped in my protective arms. Together we’ll rule the streets of this city, taking back the power; for the night belongs to people like us.

ARC Review:
Tropes/Trigger Warnings: Mafia, dark Contemporary, Joker/Harley vibes. No major TWs unless you don't like explicit sexual content or violence and unaliving people.
Characters: Quinn definitely has Harley Quinn vibes erratic mood swings and a touch psycho. Christian would best be described if Joker and Gomez Adams had a son it would be Christian, I was here for it. His undying love and passion for Quinn is very gomezy. His psycho Im going to kill people for her It's very jokery.
Rating:⭐⭐⭐
Spice:🌶️🌶️
Favorite Quote/scene: “No, Christian. I am not a sweet little lamb. I am a dangerous lioness. The world should fear me. Le Manchot should fear me, you should fear me. I do not need protection. I can take care of myself. I will prove it to you again. Just wait and see. You will learn I am a lioness, not a lamb.”
Over all thoughts on book and/or author:
I liked this book but I didn't love it. Would I recommend it for someone looking for Joker and Harley vibes? Definitely. I would have rated it higher if it didn't read so much like fanfiction. I really liked the prologue, it was definitely different that's for sure. Will I read the second book? Probably.

I have to say this book has a Joker and Harley vibe and I am all for that. His Queen is the first book in Arkham Mafia series. It follows Christian and Quinn. It shows that instead of Quinn being obsessed with Christian, that Christian is obsessed with his Quinn, his queen.
Christian was Quinn’s bodyguard at first and he fell for her, and had to prove his loyalty to the Don, her father to be worthy of Quinn. Quinn in her own right is a bad A33 and her father and Christian have to stop trying to protect her so hard.
This book will have you wanting more, Des really knows how to suck you into her books and make you want more. She definitely can tell a good story and her characters are just so well written. I just can’t wait to see what happens and if they find their enemy before something bad happens again.

*ARC Review*
*Dropped from 4 stars to 3 stars after some reconsideration.
This definitely gave strong Joker and Harley Quinn vibes, but flip it around. Christian was absolutely obsessed and dedicated to Quinn, while she was fierce and independent. The plot had a smooth flow and definitely left me needing to read part 2 soon.

I read the blurb before I got the book and was like OOOOO YASSSS up my alley.
I have the memory of a goldfish and completely forgot what I was in store for and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the Joker/Harley Vibes. (Honestly I should have picked up on it with Arkham Mafia--not sure where my head was at lmao).
All in all this is good start to what feels like is going to be an epic series.
I will say I genuinely enjoyed that we start this off with them as a couple as opposed to reading about their journey to the relationship. It gave the book a fresh aspect I haven't seen done before.

Joker and Harley Quinn vibes, I love it!
The story is told both from the perspective of Christian and from Quinn. They alternate telling the story and it works!
You fall right in the middle of the story, and it feels great to do so, the story is compelling and filled with danger, suspense and the spice between Quinn and Christian is awesome.
Although, in the second half of the book there are 7 pages with nothing but them engaged with eachother and for my taste that could have been shorter, even though it is very hot!
I did think Christian could have come over stronger, he is very obsessed with Quinn and he comes over weaker than I would have expected from someone so high in the Arkham Mafia.
Overall, I liked the book very much.
Sidenotes:
As a European, non-native English speaker with knowlegdge of French as well, the way all French words by Christian are followed by the English translation is a bit irksome.

Wow! 🥵 I couldn't put this one down, I devoured it in just a few hours. It started off differently than my normal books, but I LOVED it. Christian is over the top and gives off touch her and die vibes. Quinn is super fierce and just an overall firecracker. I loved the dynamic of their relationship. Can't wait for the next book!

Christian and his Queen
If you’re looking for a very fast paced romance where the FMC and MMC already know each other, are already madly in love and will do anything and everything to prove to the world that they are THE power couple to watch out for, then this story is for you.
Christian will do absolutely anything for his Queen and Quinn will do anything to prove herself to her King.
I also love the ties to the Joker and Harley, and the villains mentioned throughout.
Can’t wait for the next in the Arkham Mafia series now (His Redemption) ❤️

WOW ! Loved this book! Kept me on the edge of my seat. And the steamy parts….. got a little hot in here when reading lol Great characters, scenes. Was able to picture myself in the book! The action in it was great as well . I liked how both sexes were capable of doing the same type of job and not just the male. I read it in one day, could not put it down!
I cannot wait to read the next books for it!❤️

This book!! Seriously! Had a hard time putting this book down and at the end I find out it’s the first book but the sequel does not come out until November. I want it right now 🤣. The dialogue, descriptions, spice, suspense, action, everything about this book was amazing. An awesome Joker and Harley Quinn retelling! Side note: I also got to learn some French, wasn’t expecting that 😂.

☆☆☆☆ 🌶️🌶️
This is a twist on the classic Joker/Harley story. It jumps right into their relationship and the trials currently going on in their lives. The backstory will come later. For a book that mentions dark subjects, it is almost saccharine in its love, so if you love obsessive/possessive/devoted MMC and FMC, this is for you. It is a very quick read, and I appreciate she took the characters we know and gave them her own twist without losing the original source inspiration. This is a new release with more to come!
Description....
🃏”My mouth delivers a lashing punishment of tortuous, sweet, dirty words. It rambles on about all the Godforsaken things I plan to do. It’s my turn to worship her, and worship her I will.”🃏
I only have one job, know my place, but I’ve managed to side step that rule several times without punishment. In fact, the consequence for breaking the rules meant tasting the forbidden fruit. The Don’s daughter was off limits to everyone except me.
L’AMOUR DE MA VIE
The streets are no longer safe in the city. Le Manchot has turned them into a criminal playground. He took her from me once and was lucky enough to escape alive. Now there’s a bounty on his head. Dead or alive, bringing him to me is the only instruction that matters… No loose ends.
Until then I must keep Quinn caged, locked away and hidden like the precious little jewel she is. Too bad she’s having nothing of it. This woman will be my undoing. Refusing to play the part of a damsel in distress, she plots to take matters into her own hands.
The only remaining move to end this torturous game is to conquer my Queen and return her to her rightful place, wrapped in my protective arms. Together we’ll rule the streets of this city, taking back the power; for the night belongs to people like us.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect Harley Quinn/Joker & “touch her and you’ll be unalive” vibes book, look no further than His Queen👑
I’m one of the very few lucky readers to have had the inside scoop on this book for a while now and I am so fxcking excited for its release!!! Des hit the nail on the head with the MC’s- Christian and Quinn.
Christian works for Quinn’s father, Don of the Arkham Mafia, working his way to the top ranks. His hard work has not only paid off in spades but queens, as well😉 His Queen, to be specific.
Quinn is the mafia princess; gorgeous, charismatic and just a little bit crazy 😜
Eager to prove to Christian and her father that she isn’t the precious, defenseless treasure they make her out to be, Quinn is also quite reckless. Just wait until you read what she does🤫
I couldn’t get enough of these characters and the mayhem that they bring (and cause😈) to those who bring dishonor and disloyalty to the table.

Get your comicbook nerdy on with this Arkham Mafia romance story, featuring a Joker and his Harley Quinn, a Le Manchot (translation: Penguin), and a Selena who was a cat(ty)woman frenemie.
-1⭐️ Because we don't get a backstory for Christian and Quinn. The book just starts out with them happily in love. I would have liked to have seen their relationship become something from the beginning and see how Christian was able to win Quinn over.
-1⭐️ For a Joker and Harley Quinn story, it was NOT dark enough. Not. At. All. Did I love how much Christian loved Quinn? Yes. Did I melt when he spoke French to her? Also, yes. But he was not crazy and dark enough for me. He talked a big game but could have shown some more psycho actions. Also, yes, Quinn wants to be seen as a lioness and run with the big guns... well, then she should not throw temper tantrums like the spoiled brat she sounded like most of the time.
Overall, it is a very quick read that will provide action, some spice, a man who speaks French, and a crazy woman who just wants to show her crazy to the world.

ARC in exchange for honest review:
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5
To start with I liked Christians character. You could tell his love for Quinn from the start. I wanted a more in depth story behind it than what was given. Loved the touch her and ☠️ vibes. Quinn wanted to be treated as a equal, not a a damsel in distress. She was described beautifully, not just in her looks but her personality as well. She had a touch of 🤪🤪🤪 in her and her tantrums she through when she wasn't getting her way proved it. Selena and Quinn together was a pretty good crime duo. I wanted to know more of Selenas story, but overall she was likeable.
The plot itself was clear, it jumped around a little but was clear as to what is going on. I think Christian needed to be a little more dominant in both the work field and clarifying the rules to his Quinn, but then again he liked her disobeying and acting out.
This book has no triggers for me but i recommend to read the TW as it does include unaliving, and explicit intimate scenes.
Looking forward to the next.

THIS BOOK YALLLLLLL!!!!
This book is serious crack!!! I couldn't put it down! I need more immediately!
First let me say, this is the first time reading this author and it definitely won't be the last. I joined her team when she had openings and was very excited to get in based on the blurb of this book.
I loved the Joker and Harley vibes it gave off since I'm obsessed with their love and obsession for each other the movies. Most of the time we see Harley's obsession with the Joker, but in this book we finally see the obsession working the other way. We see that Quinn is literally Christian's obsession and he can't get enough of her! When it came to Christian I was immediately obsessed. One trope I'm a huge sucker for is a majorly possessive man and Christian gave me just that! I loved that he would literally stop at nothing for Quinn and showing his love for her. This book gave me everything I didn't know I needed and I can't wait for the next book!!!!!!

ARC reviewer/ - leaving my honest review voluntarily.
Are you a fan of Gotham City? Harley Quinn? Mafia?
Then this right here is the book for you!
Possessive alpha vibes, Queen above her King.
As a huge fan of HarleyxJoker, anything Gotham related, I was insta in love, because the premises of the story gave me that incredible rush of adventure and thrill.
I expected it to be even more dark and unhinged, but regardless, an easy read, that you can absolutely enjoy in a single sitting.
I recommend it!
4 ⭐️on their storyline, and 3,5⭐️ on spice level!
Overall, the spice & story are fun, I hope we get more of a backstory, to how they met, fell in love, etc, because I am a sucker for those.
Given who Quinn is, I bet it would be an exhilarating journey.
Can't wait to read more from this author.

Being a huge fan of Arkham, the good the bad and the ugly. I was extremely excited to read a Joker/Quinn story line. With a sinister mob vibe and a love that could burn the city to the ground, this book can really get you lost in it. Protecting a lioness is never an easy job BUT Christian loves every minute of it and who do it for the rest of his days. Quinn is a pain in the a** but wants to be seen as fierce and can hold her own in the mafia world. Christian wants her safe. Honestly, I can not wait to see more of these characters, I feel that there is even more mayhem that these two will get into.
April 10, 2023
I received this an advanced readers copy from the author.
So this one definitely started out differently from what I normally read.
It pulled me in from the first chapter and I was curious on how the whole thing was going to play out. It had the Joker and Harley Quinn vibes, even some quotes throughout, which was different.
I thought it was a pretty good read, the only thing I would've liked is if it had showed how they got together but that's ok because I still enjoyed it and I will definitely read the next book.

If you enjoy anything Joker and Harley, you will love this book. Christian is a Frenchman, who is with Quinn the Don of the Mafia's daughter. You follow their tale of kidnapping and betrayal, to being reluctant partners to take down the new villain, the penguin. Christian is ten times better than Joker, because he actually cares for his queen and would never harm her or put her in harm's way willingly. This story has spice, adventure, and kickbutt girls. Quinn is crazy and I absolutely love it. With the cliffhanger, I am ready for book 2.
April 15, 2023
Holy hotness, Batman!! Talk about a mafia romance! Christian scraped and clawed his way to the top to be worthy of the Don's daughter. He's now the ruthless right-hand man to the Don of the Arkham Mafia. And someone has dared to take what he covets most in this world. Quinn is as obsessed with Christian as he is with her. She's a little unhinged and a lot in love. Although she knows without a doubt Christian will come for her, she has no plans to just sit idly by and wait. I devoured this book in just a few hours. I can't wait for book 2!!!!

A Joker/Harley Quinn retelling 🖤
Love the writing style and thought it was very well written and easy to read.
The characters are very likeable and it didn't feel like the author was trying too hard to make the characters be so literal to the original characters which I feel like happens a lot with retellings.
Christian is 🥵 though!
🌶🌶 on the spice scale (for me personally)
My only problems with this was I felt like there were a few plot holes & it definitely could've been longer with some spicy scenes. It felt a bit rushed in places. Overall I enjoyed this book a lot!

His Queen by Des Sweet is book one in the Arkham Mafia series. This is a twisted mafia story that had me vested from the start. This is a different style of book than I normally read, but I found I quite enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next book. The author tells you up front that this story starts in the middle, the main characters are already involved, the story is what happens in the middle. I read this in one sitting and would recommend this book.
June 7, 2023
This book throws you into the middle of a story where the fmc and mmc already know each other and are together. Events result in a kidnapping where fmc is able to show her true colours. She's no longer a lamb but a lioness. 😍
This is a fast paced book with interesting characters and events. It's a good read if you want a short read that grabs your attention. But may be not for those who like a story build up.
I loved the ending and the cliffhanger 🫣 I was not expecting that!

I enjoyed this twist to Arkham. Quinn and Christian are hitting together and truly obsessed with the other… he may be a little more with her but she has a crazy little streak and knows she loves her men! I grew up loving another version of these characters but this twist has me loving there side I can’t wait to see more of this series!!!

⭐⭐⭐.75 /5
His Queen is a dark Mafia romance with Joker and Harley vibes. Des has sneakily stuck in a few names here and there that definitely gave off those Batman vibes. His Queen is full of twists and turns and of course it's full of smut! If you're looking for a quick dark Mafia read, here it is.

This was my introduction to this author and I look forward to reading more. This book definitely gives you Joker and Harley Quinn vibes. We follow Christian and Quinn on a wild journey and their love cannot be denied. Their obsession with each other probably warrants some therapy. I devoured this in one sitting!

I liked this retelling of the Joker and Harley Quinn. This book included Selena and the Penquin. I loved the spin, a top enforcer and princess of the Arkham Mafia.The writing was very direct and would be conducive to a comic book. This book had the drama, violence, kidnapping, and spice.

seems like it's a start to more books to come. a twist at the end.
loved these two. the power struggle, the dominance, the spice.
quick read as well!
