The Albino Queen #1
Saving Their Queen
Destiny has plans for her.
Celia crashes, quite literally, into a small town just barely far enough to be considered escaping. She finds herself drawn to, not just one man, but four of the most gorgeous, god-worthy guys she has seen in her entire life.
Terrified for her life and stuck in the self-destruct mode that her ex trained her to live so well, Celia doesn’t believe herself good enough for one man.
Let alone four.
Added to that, there’s more to her than meets the eye, as she soon discovers.
Celia’s terrified to find this truth amid the chaos of her life but she quickly learns that she doesn’t have any choice.
Not now that Destiny has stepped her meddling ass into the picture.
But does she have the courage to truly let go of her fears and save herself?
Can she release her past and accept her true destiny with four fated mates?
Or will she let her ex win and forfeit her life before it’s truly begun?
Trigger Warning: book contains past abuse, violence, and nonconsensual sexual and consensual sexual content.
Must be 18+ to read.

Survival
This is a story of abuse and becoming strong enough to leave. I really loved the story but some parts of it where difficult to understand and process but in saying that it was a very griping story and am looking forward to finding out what happens next

90% good but still has some tired tropes
Overall I was excited to read this, and being a fellow abuse survivor, I am always searching on how other deal and cope and recover. And I can say this book started out alright but it lost me near the end. spoilers ahead- things that tossed me out of the story...
Gray- using another women to make your girlfriend jealous and *get a reaction*? Super disrespectful. And our main character fell for it hook, line, and sinker. She was mad at the other woman! Tired, gross, total turn off. She needed to have a discussion with the guy about respect and communication. That was a hard no for me. He rarely shows any growth. Girls don’t actually like total assh*les, surprise! It’s rang like what men think girls want (I can still get the girl while being a truly lazy human, while not working on personal growth, or show any empathy or kindness in any way- girls dig it!). I like confidence and interesting people. But disrespect? Not attractive.
The mating scene with one of the guys being a Dom. I seem to read loads of books where this poor girl has been brutalized her whole life but is some how super keen on being a sub (still? Or surprised but love it?) I can tell you I do not fit this, and all I want is to have 1 girl stand up and say no, I need the control, I can’t be held like that, I can’t be manhandled. I think writers try to do this to show how the sub has all the*power* and how strong we are to still be able to do that despite our life experiences! I don’t think that’s how life works for some people. I did not like that, made me break out in hives.
And finally, Celia, our girl, has this kind frantic need to apologize and squeal over things. It only popped out sometimes (mostly near the end of the book) but I cringed. Like she is super worried about shaving and smoothness and shoes and her underwear and it seems like a large focus of her personality- almost more so than her being some powerful being. It was a bit annoying to be honest.

Hot! Hot! Hot!
I can't tell you how amazing it really was! I can't wait until #2!!!! You have to read this if you love your men in plural, you crave your men of the dominant type & live for the moments when those considered broken serve the butts of their tormentors up w/a side of whoopa**.... Yes I went there,
Like the main character, Celia, we've been broken too, but refuse to back down or give up even if just to spite those a-holes who tried to keep us down. They said we couldn't survive w/o them or their brand of abuse.
Miss Beth, you're amazing & I hope to one day meet the one who fed my inspiration for continuing on when life seems overwhelming... We all need an escape from our everyday struggles.

Such a fantastic book, Celia had me pulled in from the beginning and made a wonderfully strong FMC. The way she survived her horrific past but yet still found the ability to love into her life was so heartwarming. The men were so freaking hot, oh my gosh I was hooked especially on Wyatt. Beth did a wonderful job of building characters and a backstory that was heartbreaking but compelling. What an amazing start to a series, Beth’s writing flows so seamlessly I could not put the book down when I started. And now she’s got me chewing my fingernails waiting for the next book after that ending! Bravo, a breakout author in the RH community for sure.

I loved it!
Coming from an abusive background myself, I can totally relate to the writer and character Celia. I love RH and shifter books and I really love this one. 5 stars!!

What an amazing start to this series, and an amazing debut from Beth Rosalee. I loved this book! I loved the FMC, Celia. Her personal journey throughout the storyline was emotional, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant. Celia’s men are awesome and are her Saviour in so many ways. This book was full of action, suspense, mystery, emotion, and is sexy as hell! I cannot wait to see where the story takes us with the next book in this series.

Great start to a series.
This book is the reason I went to work on only 4 hours sleep! I loved the story, it really pulled me in and I love that she stayed strong and didn't turn to mush when the guys came along like many books do, she stood her ground. The guys were the soppy ones and I could have done without all the 'babes' and 'beautiful' nicknames they dished out.
Will be interesting to see where the characters go next.

Shifter reverse harem
This book had a lot going on. An abusive ex stalking the mc, fated mates, and a prophecy. It all seemed to work.

Five stars!!
This was a great start to a new series!! I loved how all the guys helped Celia be able to trust and love. Also, the different take on shifters, and all their points of view. Lastly, the sex scenes were sexy, loving, and sensual. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Good but could use some work.
I first want to say that this story is really good. If you have abuse triggers this is sooooo NOT the book for you. Second I want to say that this book could use a good edit. So many missing words and bad grammar. That is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars.

Loved the storyline
The beginning was a bit rough but after I kept reading on, it got better and better. My mother being a victim of abuse I was right there with the emotions and fear. Can’t wait to read the next book.

Great way to start my year!
Such a great book! I enjoyed the characters very much and the changing POV wasn’t overly done. Very enjoyable! Looking forward to more.

Wow, just wow!
Celia takes one heck of a ride through this book. She literally had nothing and was running for her life. The things that she went through in her past and even some throughout the book are horrendous. Celia is a FMC that I feel quite a few women can relate to in some way. As hard as that is, even as hard as it was to read, Celia never gave up. It took her some time, but little by little she let her guys in. She grew so much from the first page to the last! It was truly a delight to see her rise up and be just a complete kicka$$ FMC. I feel like so much happened in this book, and that ending!! Oh my goodness I am literally holding onto that cliff for dear life! I need book 2 ASAP!
Beth is an absolutely wonderful writer. The world that she built is so detailed, but not over done either. The story flowed seamlessly throughout the book. The emotions that Beth invokes throughout the book just hit you in the heart. My heart broke for Celia and does for any woman who has to endure someone not loving them. I had a horribly emotional abusive relationship and could really relate with Celia.
If you are experiencing the things Celia went through, please know that you are strong enough to leave. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! YOU ARE WORTHY OF TRUE LOVE AND YOU ARE ENOUGH! You are good enough, you are strong enough, YOU ARE ENOUGH! Never settle for anything less than the best! You deserve your happy ending! Now, today, make the choice to run and know that there is help for you.
Beth thank you for having the courage to write Celia's character! Sometimes we want to hide that part of our lives because we are ashamed, but your words help heal that. Your words are going to inspire women currently going through abuse to seek help and to get out. Thank you for being brave enough to do that for anyone who reads Celia's story and encouraging them to get out. You are a survivor and I hope you always know that YOU are ENOUGH!!!!

Oh my
This book. I don't know how to start....
This book really hit. As a survivor of abuse myself reading this was in a way therapeutic for me. I had to psych myself up to read it I simply because I knew it was going to be something that hit me hard.
And it did it hit me very in unexpectedly in ways I hadn't realized it would but it also a good ways. I myself I'm struggling to reclaim myself and this book help me with some insight.
Beth Rosalee wrote a beautiful book. It represented growth and beauty for me. It gave me a little hope.
Right now I struggle so hard to even catch a breath and "Saving Their Queen" let me do just that for a short time.
Please check it out. Please read it. And know that you are not alone. Thank you Beth Rosalee for writing this. I can't wait to see what great reads you bring up in the future!.

Well what can i say about this book??? Well it has awesome story line, but does have some powerful triggers, which can make even those who have never dealt with it cringe, also love the characters, and i am looking forward to number 2... also there is some spelling mistakes and some sentences that don't make sense... although you can make it sound right... but i do love it... that why it has a 5 star review.. Great Great Book....

DNF 20% Meh I'm not feeling it. Not a fan of the writing style.
February 6, 2020
This book/plot had promise but i didnt really like it. It was good at first, but the heroine seemed flaky and unconcerned with the fact she had to lay low when on. The run from her abusive ex. She’s more concerned with going out dancing, new coffee shops to explore, being as visible as possible so its no wonder her ex found her so easy!
Then came the bit where she makes a female omega wolf freeze and watch her intimate time with one of her heroes. Ewwww that made me gag!!!
Then that last totally ridiculous scene with her dad fenrir! Sorry it was dumb and totally just ruined the flow of the story. Fenrirs personality was a bit ott.
There were food bits in the story like when she defeated her ex but for me the writing and plot needs to be improved a lot.

Good read
This is my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it, but i did have to suspend reality a bit. The fmc suffers horribly at the hands of her ex but moves on with only a few flashbacks. Now I'm not an expert at trauma or anything but it was hard for me to roll with her speed. Other than that the guys were awesome, the steam was hot and the ending left me intrigued for the next book.

Good book!
I enjoyed this book and its slightly unusual storyline. I can't help but be slightly pedantic and say that the editor needs to pick up the checking of words- recuse instead of rescue gives a whole new spin to that particular sentence. For a freshman book, I absolutely love it, and I'm definitely looking forward to book 2

Marked as "Did Not Finish".
This may be an amazing book, some of the reviews are raving about the story content. But, as for me, I can't get past the typos. The glaringly obvious typos.
Page 9 (which is actually the second or third page of the book) The censorship was not in the book, that is put there by me.
"I’m going to drag her back here and
f*****! end her for daring to leave. I f*****! warmed her! I take a deep
breath to try and clam myself some. "
So..... he "warmed her" and he needs to "clam" himself some.
Page 11 is where I stopped.
"While lost in my thoughts, I’ve forgotten to pay
attention to the road, and when I look up there is a damn dear smashing
through my windshield! I slam on the brakes but the impact makes me jerk
the wheel, and I end up in a ditch with my tires stuck and a fucking dead
deer laying half inside my SUV. FML, I don’t even know where I’m at. I
reach over and grab my cell phone out of the center console.
“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?” I scream. My phone has no
signal! None. I’ve got to be cursed or something. Looks like I’m walking;
I hope there is a gas station or house not too far from here.
Finally, after what feels like three hours, I make it to a gas station.
There is a cute little bookstore and café combo next to it. Oh, I’m
checking that out before I leave."
So...while lost in thought, while driving, there is a damn "dear" smashing through her windshield. Yep, totally. There is a dead deer lying half inside the SUV, FML, I don't even know where I am at.
I found this book very....simplistic. I'm not sure if that is the correct word. It seems like it is written how the author feels that people think. But, a story isn't necessarily meant to be written as an inner dialogue. It also comes across as very juvenile. I don't know where I'm at, FML....and the fact that there are a heck of a lot of F bombs......
This book may get better and be an amazing read but I won't find out because I am shelving it at page 11.

pretty good
This was pretty good. There were some elements I liked and some I didn’t. I feel a lot was unfinished. Not sure if the author is planning to continue the series or not. The beginning was the best and should have ended with Nathan. The rest seemed to drag and felt disconnected. Again it was a pretty good read.
