What a good book, the story takes really some turns I didnt expect. And the little sunshine girl is a real bonus.

Love the book! Not what I was expecting and so much better. The story has several unexpected twists and it’s very well written. The first 50% of the book I was not sure if it was going to click, but when it did I just couldn’t put it away. Excellent read! Do not expect an erotic book or a sex scene in every corner, in spite of what the cover and the tittle might suggest. It’s an excellent thriller and I really liked.

I absolutely loved this story. Zedde does a terrific job creating such wonderful MCs. Agnus is a force to be respected and possibly feared. The successor who reshapes the House of Agnus from the more brutal business her father left. Agnus keeps herself closed off from everyone but Whit and Gretchen, until. Lola is on a mission to stop the woman who changed her life, her family. You know the saying keep your enemies closer, both women try to do just that. The chemistry between Agnus and Lola is palpable throughout and while both have their own agenda, neither can deny their pull toward each other no matter how hard they try. As Agnus navigates treacherous waters from an unknown entity as well as the subtext she detects with Lola, she must remain on guard and protect the one thing that matters more to her than anything. Lola continues to work to learn the secrets Agnus keeps hidden in her search for justice and as she learns more, questions what she thought she knew. An unexpected return throws both women into turmoil both personally and professionally. From fierce and brave to vulnerable and caring, the story will draw you in and keep you invested to see if the House truly does win in the end.

House of Agnes by Fiona Zedde has all of the elements I look for in an exceptionally good contemporary romance. This novel is an enemies-to-lovers, age gap romance with a fair dose of mystery and intrigue. The story includes a gorgeous ice queen as a main character with an equally beautiful love interest. Add an exciting plot, a young child, and a few unsavory characters, and we have everything we need for our reading pleasure.
Agnes Noble runs a very exclusive escort agency. She is known as Queen Agnes by her employees as well as the clients who use her agency’s services. She runs the business as any queen would…with ultimate control over what happens. Lola Osbourne is an investigative journalist who is out to infiltrate the House of Agnes to get the information she needs to bring down the business and its owner. She blames the House and Agnes for what happened to her sister. There is a big problem with Lola’s plans though…the almost instant attraction she feels for Agnes.
This is an exciting story filled with intrigue, desire and lust. The mystery and intrigue are well-written and kept my interest though the whole book. The steamy sex scenes are exactly what I expect from a Fiona Zedde novel.
While this is a plot driven novel, the characters really made the story for me. Agnes is the perfect ice queen, and Lola makes a great love interest for her. The secondary characters are also well-developed.
I really enjoyed reading this book. If you adore ice queens, steamy love scenes, and romance mixed with exciting mystery and intrigue, then look for this book.

A very good read. Classy and entertaining.

Fabulous story summed up perfectly by the first line of the blurb – A lesbian romance filled with intrigue and sizzling sexual tension as enemies discover that the other side of hatred…is desire.
Gretchen was a highlight of the story for me. Cold as Agnes could be, I got her. Boy did I get her. I could feel the walls she built around herself…until Lola came along.
Lola I wasn’t so fond of. I hoped I’d warm to her, but I never really did. I also had trouble buying into the “I’m in love with you” part of the story, but that didn’t stop me from loving the hell out of it.
I’ve read a number of books by Fiona Zedde, and this is my favourite to date.
