Opposites attract...or clash.The Jamieson saga continues with the Queen of the family in this inspirational romance. She's the mistress of flirtation but Philip is unaffected by her charm. The two enjoy a harmless banter about God’s will versus Queen's, who prefers her own free-will lifestyle.

It's perfect harmony sometimes.Queen, the youngest sister of the Jamieson clan, wears her name as if it’s a crown.She’s single, sassy, and most of the time, loving her status, but she’s about to strut down an unexpected spiritual path. Love takes no prisoners. When the descendants of a royal African tribe on her father’s maternal side show up and show off at a family game night, Queen’s vanity is kicked up a notch. The Robnetts take royalty to a new level with their own Queen.Evangelist Philip Dupree is on the hot seat as the trial pastor at Total Surrender Church. The deadline for the congregation to officially elect him as pastor is months away. The They want a family man to lead their flock. The board’s ultimatum is enough to make him quit the ministry. But can a man of God walk away from his calling?Can two people with different lifestyles and priorities cross paths and continue the journey as one? Who is going to be the first to surrender?For the Jamieson fans, check out the bonus ending on the Jamieson Legacy page and click on the black heart. www.PatSimmons.net. Books/Jamieson Legacy

Pat Simmons has done it again with The Jamiesons!
I started the Jamieson Legacy series with book 1, Guilty of Love, have read each book in the series and LOVE THEM ALL! This book is no different! I love how Pat takes us readers on a journey to better understand the main character, Queen, a powerful, confident, loving woman who is used to doing things her way. To experience Queen's evolution into the woman she is meant/called to be is inspiring. And of course, I love how God is always throughout the book, speaking and guides the characters to their destiny. Queen's Surrender has me excited to see what happens next and for the next books in the series. Thank you Pat for continuing to build on the Jamieson Legacy and fir sharing your awesome gift with us! Highly recommend this book!! Start with Book 1 though if you are new to the Jamiesons.

I really enjoyed reading this book I've been waiting for months for it to be available for read. I have read the entire series of The Jamieson Legacy I didn't want to put the book down, but I also didn't want it to end as well. I would love to see a book about Pace, Kami and Victoria as adults. These books in the series have made me cry, Laugh and made my heart melt. Please keep the Legacy going Ms. Simmons. Thank you for writing these wonderful books may God continue to Bless your hands. Great Book😊

awesome book
The intricacies of the story line had me second guessing if they would both connect, seeing that Queen was such an independent, sassy and career and carefree individual. Even though the voice of God kept nudging her she kept on ignoring his voice. I love the human and spiritual side of Phillip who shows that Pastors are human with human tendencies. Love that he held on to his faith and beliefs in God and the word.

Excellent read
Excellent read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Philip and Queen’s courtship was thoughtful and spirit based. This was a journey in faith and prayer. The main team is to seek God first in all you do. It’s been a while since the last Jamieson legacy book, it was great catching up with the family and the new additions. The introduction of the Robnett’s seems like the start of a new legacy series. I look forward to what’s next.

She is one of my favorite authors! This new book did not disappoint! I love that there is always a historical fact to learn, I love how no matter what the Jamieson family always pulls together and has each other’s back. There is always a life lesson in each of her books. This time it’s love and listening to your heart.

Another Happy Jamieson
I have been a fan of the Jamieson and I love love black love! The characters were well developed and the love story of Queen and Phillip was great! I always love how Mrs. Simmons adds a healthy dose of God’s word and black history! The Jamieson men are alpha males and their wives and siblings are fierce!

A true Queen
There were always sparks between Phillip and Queen but love is so much more than that. Equally yoked is a must! He was there but hers was a journey!

This is my second time reading, well, I listened this time to this book. I love all of Pat Simmons's books. I especially love the Jamieson series. Oh, these Jamieson men! Mercy! Queen is a Jamieson and she falls for an evangelist whose sister is married to a Jamieson. Good Stuff!
