Queen of Broken Hearts

by Lola King

Rachel

In another life, Rose White was the woman who brought kings to their knees. They started wars for her and burnt down entire kingdoms. All for her beauty, for her charisma, and her sex appeal.

I made a mistake by looking into her eyes. She caught me and cursed me into loving her. She trapped me in her web and has kept me to herself ever since.
Now I worship her altar. I give her my heart and my body, I bend to her will and let her use me as she wishes.

I would do anything for her love. The problem is…I’m not the only one.

So on this Halloween night, her birthday, all I ask is to be the only one.

Just for one night, Rose, let’s play it my way.

And tomorrow, I can go back to being just another subject. Another heart the Queen breaks when she pleases.

i hate mmcs very easily but you have to really put in the effort to make me absolutely HATE a female character

texting dtf to someone in front on your girlfriend right after she got a tattoo with your name on it is….. certainly one way to get me to hate a female love interest!

Thank you Lola King for breaking this damn book slump!!!!!

[Angelina · Rating 3 out of 5]

A short prequel that sets up the emotional tone of the story.
It gives a glimpse into the characters and the messy dynamic between them, hinting at the heartbreak and drama that will come later 🌚

[Lou Loves Literature · Rating 5 out of 5]

W.A.P!
That is what this book gives you.
This was my first complete FF read, and wow! Way to set the bar high!!
This book, while only a novella, is packed so full of character insight it's amazing.
You don't have to have read Giving In and Giving Away to read this, but please note that it DOES give some spoilers, so if you're planning on reading those then please do so first.
I am SO ready for a full book on Rose 😍
Also just to note, please check the trigger warnings before reading if you have any triggers.
Absolute 5⭐, hot AF novella.
100% totally recommend!

I’m in the mood to read some toxic sapphic relationship fic with problematic characters. But this is rather confusing

[Ida Korhonen · Rating 5 out of 5]

The way I’m devouring this series is wild! Gosh, this book was 🔥. I loved Rachel and Rose, chaotic and toxic, but somehow still so full of love for each other. I’m obsessed 🥹😮‍💨

It’s so toxic - I love it

4⭐️/5⭐️

I ate this up I saw a review saying this was giving WAP
and indeed it did
This was actually fully erotica I thought we’ll get more insight of Rose’s character but she’s still a mystery
Rachel miss Rachel is not shy at all she’s so different from Giving up and giving away

I enjoyed this a lot and this was so toxic and I want to see Rose’s character development and see how Rachel and Rose’s story evolve

[cátia · Rating 3 out of 5]

between 2.5 and 3 because im so intrigued about them and also it's so short and so toxic haha idk let's see their first book
i liked it it's just a novella about two women in love but also a book with trauma and a little bit mysterious and all so im in i will definitely read their series !!

Broken girls erotica. Rough, push, pull, knife play, humiliation, jealous sex. It's all there. 3.5 stars

Actual rating 3.75 ⭐️

Omggg this was so good and so spicy!!!
I missed Lola King's writing sooo much!

[annasbook nookk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lola brings us a beautiful novella in time for Halloween.
This story is about Rose and Rachel, who feature heavily in Lola's first two books in the Stoneview series. Lola writes about the obsession the girls feel for each other, we see into Rose a bit more, which is both a beautiful and dark story.
I loved it, the plot, Rose and Rachel and everything that comes with them.
Spice, trigger warnings and dark all tied up in a pretty bloody bow.
If you like Dark FF romance, this is for you.
Take notice of the trigger warnings.
If you haven't read Lola King's Stoneview series, you need to it.

[Kyla Honey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick short novella. Nothing happens besides spice but seems like a good set up for her duet😉

[Peppa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely a really enjoyable, dark and kinky read!!

Can we stop normalizing poly

[Sara Lytle · Rating 3 out of 5]

I should honestly be in jail that was so spicy but like I will be continuing with this series / universe

[Tarynrose · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.75✨️

umm i'm a little disappointed, but I definitely need to read more sapphic romances.

[sunset.bibliophile · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the Stoneview Stories books. There's something about the drama and the plot that just keeps on coming that has me 100% hooked!

So when I heard there might be a book for Rose in the works... I was so freaking STOKED, and hoping that we would get it after Giving Up. Then... Lola decided to surprise us with an FF novella that could be considered a prequel to Rose and Rachel's full-length book and I just about lost my cool!

This novella was everything. Steamy, intriguing and passionate... and Rachel... man I did not see her personality coming until it was too late and I was obsessed with her and the relationship dynamic between her and Rose.

I can't wait to see what Lola has in store next.

[Cindy dawson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this delicious FF novella! I’ve been obsessed with Rose since reading Giving In and begging for her own story.

Read the trigger warnings - this book isn’t light in anyway.

But if you find that you’re ready to share in the dark depravity that is Rose White’s world buckle up.

This book is 90% smut and I loved every second of it! The quick glimpse into Rose and Rach’s relationship just made me yearn for more. Hello Rach 🔥🔥
And I’m so freaking excited to get that from Lola next year 🥰

[MaríaFF · Rating 1 out of 5]

No sé qué cojones acabo de leer. Debería haberlo visto venir un poco por los tw ? Probablemente, pero es que????? No tenía ni pies ni cabeza. La trama? Inexistente. Empiezan a follar en el 14% del libro y no paran hasta el 95%, todo esto transcurriendo en 1 noche. Sé que es una mini historia que va entre más libros de la saga pero aún así?????

Además todo es súper tóxico. Cuando digo todo es TODO. Terrible, menuda manera de completar el 200% de mi reto de lectura. La sinopsis no tiene nada que ver con lo que trata el libro. Si pudiera darle 0 estrellas se las daría.

0/5

[Momma Eureka · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like it’s not too fair to give it 3 stars because it’s a little tiny novela that literally just have 99% spice and 1% is a bunch of questions of what and who is Rose and why she is the way she is. I already know because I’m not following Lola’s books in a chronological order and I’ve read the North Shore series first, so I know almost everything. But still, that series got me so in love with the style that made me want to read all her books and being the rebel that I am, instead of starting from the beginning with Jake’s Trilogy, nooooooo what do I do ? I start with Rose’s duet 😂😂😂😂 so now I’ll get all the spoilers of Jake’s story/books but I don’t care, I’ll read it regardless.

[mela · Rating 3 out of 5]

My first FF, since I’m reading the whole LK Verse & Rose’s duet is the only one I haven’t read yet. I could tell while reading the afterword, that this Novella meant a lot to LK. Since I’m not part of the LGBTQ+ community I can’t really speak on that because I don’t know how it feels, to live in a closet and be scared to come out. Not wanting to label it etc. but I did notice that Rachel labeled herself afterwards. Sincerely I do hope though that the duet isn’t relying heavily on smut, because I am really interested in Rose’s, Rachel’s, Sam’s and Lik’s background stories and this novella had a lot of smut in it mainly only.

[Kat · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first FF read and wow it was so hot!

If you read Jamie’s books then you already know Rose White. She rules the Stoneview Prep together with her twin brother Jake.
In this novella we get a snippet of what’s behind her cold and mean exterior.
It is filled with kinky steam but it also gives a good amount of character insight.

I can’t wait to find out more about Rose and also Rachel. Their dynamic is definitely interesting and I’m so excited for their full length book!

This can be read as a standalone but I definitely recommend starting Stoneview Stories with Giving In. You are guaranteed to fall in love with all characters!

[Zoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, every book Lola brings out is an absolute treat and this is just perfection.

Queen of Broken Hearts follows Rose and Rachel (Who you'll know from Lolas other books) and their relationship. For this being such a short novella, so much happens that I can guarantee you'll be turning those pages faster than you ever thought you could. This novella is dark, dirty and I am so excited to read Roses full story when Lola finally brings it out, because if it's anything like this novella - it'll be incredible.

[K.M. Baker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick spicy sapphic novella. I loved reading about Rose and Rachel. Rachel’s parents are homophobic and have her future planned. Rose wants the escape of pleasure. She has a whole list of emotional issues and is toxic af.
Don’t even get me started on that knife scene! 🥵

Can’t wait to jump into her duet!

“Broken people break hearts.
And I wonder… how many hearts will she have to break before she gives me hers?”
