" Queen of Bahia by Erica B. Davis and Kadesha Powell is book nine in the nine book Queens of the Castle standalone series.

Pilar Silva is a Brazilian-African American beauty in the prime of her life. She isn’t necessarily looking for love, but it may have found her anyway. It may not have been love at first sight, but it was certainly lust at first sight.

I haven’t previously read anything from either author but enjoyed their work here. The transition between authors was seamless. Both lead characters were strong with complete background details. The plot kept my attention throughout the story. There’s plenty of action and the writing flows well. Queen of Bahia is an excellent collaboration. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend to anyone who enjoys multicultural romance and/or romantic suspense."

" I can honestly say that this book had me on the edge of my seat from the moment I started reading it until the last word on the final page!!!

Pilar is determined to find out who is poisoning the water Bahia which is making people including her grandmother sick. She doesn't trust easily but knows that she must place her trust in Yoshi Tanaka's expertise if she wants to get to the bottom of what is happening.

This story has so many twists and turns and while they search for answers Pilar and Yoshi also find themselves navigating unknown dangers and battling the growing attraction between the two of them.

This was an absolutely wonderful story. Well done to the authors!!!" 

-Martha Ruff

" I'm kinda sad that the series is over with, because I've enjoyed each one and this one is no exception. Pilar must rush back home to Brazil, after getting a call from her grandmother saying she's dying. When Pilar gets back, she discovers something sinister is happening to the residents, her grandmother included. While she searches die answers, Yoshi, brother to her closest friend, David, honors his brothers reques to help Pilar find out the perpetrators and end their reign of terror on the local residents for good, and in the mean time, start to develop feelings for each other.

Thus was such an emotional read. There were some parts that made me chuckle (Mia, I'm in the same boat as well) and some parts that will have you hoping for this type of love and attraction."

-Shannan Harper 

" What a terrific last book in the Queens Of The Castle series. Pilar, 30, is on her way back to Bahia, Brazil to assist her grandmother. She has been away for years because of her mother's death. Now she reunites with her Avo, oldest sister, Rita, and middle sister, Maya.

Prior to the reunion, she meets a man at a masquerade ball held by the King of the Castle, Khalil. No names, cellphones, or unmasking keeps her guessing at who the "Mickey" to her "Minnie" is. Meet cute accomplished.

She meets Yoshi on her way home to Brazil, and he helps her get back to her Avo. Aw!!! Once she is back, she finds situations and people she once knew are now quite different. Her grandmother (Avo) is sick as are so many others in her neighborhood. There is also the largest carnival in the world going on. Time to party and an addition to the suspense. Her older sister Rita seems to have let herself go and has a gambling problem.

The romance worked so well in this one, though there is no sex. I loved the chemistry between them. The suspense was balanced with the romance. Although, I thought there might have been more with the "snake".

Overall a really good read that had me from page 1 to the end."

Pilar Silva , one of the directors of a program within the Castle receives a call from her beloved grandmother to come home to her native country of Brazil. Pilar rushes home and headfirst into danger. What she doesn't realize is that those who are responsible are closer than she thinks. Yoshi Tanaka , adopted brother of Derek Hicks, A close friend and colleague of Pilar's agrees to help her find out why the people of het beloved community are becoming sick. Thus begins a whirlwind romance , intertwined with danger. The characters in this novel were realistic and passionate about helping right the wrongs of those who were most vulnerable. I loved the slow fire that burned between Pilar and Yoshi! I hope to see Derek , Maya and Javier again!
