Reviews:
"This book is a joy to read and the characters are wonderful and interesting. The plot is going to keep reader's turning the pages and hoping for a happy ending. The love scenes are extremely hot and sure to please erotic readers. This is the first book that I have read by Marie Treanor and she has done such a great job with this book, I will certainly look for more of her work in the future." - 4 hearts, Angel Brewer, The Romance Studio
"A selfish woman/child when in a place of power can destroy lives around her,
but there are times she can in turn be destroyed…will someone give up all to
save her?
"...Queen's Gambit is a story that revolves around a curse incurred by an immature girl that took a witch’s husband as a lover. After several hundred years it was good to see Christi mature enough to realize that she devastated a woman for the simple reason that she wanted something for her own pleasure. Andrei and Christi make a wonderful couple that I was pulling for to remain together. Marie Treanor has a wonderful way with words that makes it easy to become involved with this story of magic, love and betrayal. I thoroughly enjoyed every page." - 4 unicorns, Lyonene, Enchanted in Romance
"Queen’s Gambit is tightly written, and keeps readers in suspense until the very last as to the way it will all end. Christi is complex and afraid to try to love, but takes the chance in spite of her fear. Chess enthusiasts will enjoy the many references to the game, and lovers of erotic romance will savor this hot tale of passion and redemption. Marie Treanor casts a spell of her own in Queen’s Gambit that will enchant and move readers!" - 4 Angels, Michelle, Fallen Angels Reviews
"Initially, I wondered what the prologue had to do with the rest of the story. Ms. Treanor subtly drops clues as to how the two interlink, but it is not until the last few chapters that all becomes clear. Christi is a modern young woman, but obviously something troubles her. Although she is seemingly carefree, there are hints that all is not as it seems. Andrei Zuvarin is a bear of a man; a true gentle giant. He is quick to laugh, but underlying this easy laughter, lies a man of deep emotions. This is apparent when he and Christi find themselves alone in the bar. Steamy, emotion-laden sex follows. Given that this is a relatively short book, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of detail and characterization contained in the book. Christi and Andrei are well-rounded characters, but with enough flaws to make them human. That geeky game, chess, is the catalyst that brings them together. After reading Queen’s Gambit, I will never look at a chess set in quite the same way." - 4 stars, Michelle Naumann, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
