When we last left our two interspecies lovebirds, they had just escaped from King Bob the Nefarious’ pseudo-dungeon. Now in Concubine Boogaloo, the second in the Ragnar and Juliet series by Lucy Woodhull,
Ragnar has openly declared his love for Juliet which not only leaves
the lady speechless but in internal chaos for she has a secret she
hasn’t shared with the talented-tailed Alutian. It doesn’t help that he
decides then and there to take her to meet her possible future in-laws.
That visit goes over like an iridium balloon, and when Juliet tells
Ragnar her own private secret, she finds herself ousted from the house.
Our
girl doesn’t fret losing the only man she’s actually ever loved (not
much). She sets her mind to other tasks, to keep them off handsome pecs,
cobalt blue eyes, and…of course…that tail named Torval. Juliet has
decided to liberate the 500 concubines King Bob still has in his
thrall. Unfortunately, she’s going to need help for that endeavor, so
she enlists childhood friend Erit, who’s a wheel-dealer par excellence
(as well as a snappy dresser) and…guess who? Ragnar, who’s not exactly
happy to be drawn into a rescue mission by his ex and having to
associate with one of her other exes in the bargain.
So
there they are…three determined players in a desperate game, two of
whom are angry, hating, and desperately in love with each other, about
to launch a world-wide kidnapping attempt right under King Bob’s
aristocratic and depraved nose…
Can
they do it? Will they succeed? Will Ragnar and Juliet live to have
another adventure filled with alien sex and smart-ass quips and puns? Or
will Juliet find herself Concubine #501 as Ragnar heads back to Mom and
Dad?
The only way to find out is to read the book.
This
is a hilarious book. It is equal to the original in its wild
characters, even wilder situations, and well-written dialogue. I laughed
my way through the first one while wondering what was going to happen
next. I did the same with this sequel and if there’s a third, I imagine
I’ll do the same with it.
This is definitely a recommended read.
