Queen daughter of Hershey Aaron boss of the Black Mafia desperately wants her child to grow up in a stable family; with two loving parents who are there for her. Once she acknowledges that she still has feelings for an old flame it's hard to stay where her heart is not, especially when doubt comes knocking.

Queen's adamancy about not following in her own mother's foot steps slightly clouds her judgment causing a ripple effect of events in her life. She is torn apart inside because the life she knows as a mafia queen is in total conflict with her being a mom to her daughter. The question is love or obligation does a mother choose or should she have to?

Queen finds leaving Hawaii was the wrong decision and at this point in the game it's too late to turn around. Her daughter's safety is her first concern as her past begins to rear its ugly, painful head. When every romantic interests Gauge, Marc, Carmen and possibly Isaiah leaves her wondering can she trust herself when it comes to loving a man its then she begins to fight back.

Her life spirals out of control as vengeance is used to bring her and the Black Mafia to its knee's and all her questions are answered one by one amidst the chaos. With each answer her heart breaks into millions of pieces. Right or wrong what do you do when the rules of the street are so different from the normalcies of life?

I have not read Queen and I don't feel that Always a Queen is dependent on Queen. I believe this book stands on its own. I am going to read Queen just so that I know what happened before she moved to Hawaii in detail. Plus I'm curious to read about her wonderful relationship with her dad Hershey Aaron. Ms White does flashback just enough so that the reader is not lost on the history. I enjoyed reading Queen's story; so often when we read urban fiction it seems the characters are separate from the idea of wanting a normal life, or wanting true love and stability. It was refreshing to see a character that came from the streets but wasn't trapped there without any goals.

OK so there had to be another book in the works. There just a cliff hanger at the end that drives me crazy!!! But overall its a wonderful book.

Ms. White's follow up to her first novel, 'Queen,' stands on its own as a perfect story of a woman torn between right and wrong, love and obligation, mother and Queen Pin. While it does continue where the original story leaves off, I would consider this more as a complementary story than a sequel.What the original lacked in emotion and reason, this story more than makes up for. Action, love, passion, and violence make it the perfectly appetizing Urban Tale.

Very good sequel. What will be next for Queen's baby? Received in a timely matter. Gave me a chance to read Queen in my spare time.

This book really surprised me. As I was reading I couldn't believe how much Queen hasn't learned from her past mistakes. I really hope ther is another one with a smarter Queen because she will not only have to fight for her own life but the life of her daughter. Please allow her to get Isiah for what he's done to her cuase that was really foul

I could not believe what Isiah did.... unbelievable! The ending was definitely a cliff hanger. Can't wait for the third installment.

If you read the first book than I am sure that you are saying that the second addition is a serious disappointment. I was expecting the character to retain her verasity and spunk but Queen let me down. In my opinion she went from a Queen to a spoiled, whinny princess on a tantrum. The story did pick up where it left off and made sense only it was not as strong as the previous. I recomend reading something else.

I like this book, even though it was a little redundant. The ending was very very good, and a shocking twist. I like Queen at first, but in this book, I started to not like her and looked at her as a user. All the stuff finally came back to haunt her. I wonder if they are going to make another book.

I THINK THIS BOOK WAS JUST SO BAD. I REALLY DIDNT CARE TO MUCH FOR THE 1ST BOOK BUT I WAS INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THINGS TUREN OUT FOR qUEEN BUT SHE WAS WORSE IN THIS BOOK. THE DECISONS SHE MADE WAS JUST DOWN RIGHT RETARDED. IN ONE SENTENCE SHE WAS SO GROWING UP BUT SHE LOOKED OVER ALL THE SIGNS THAT THINGS WERNT RIGHT FROM THE WEDDING..

FROM THE SITUATION WITH SEEING HER HUSBAND IN A EMBRACE WITH THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD AND SHE DIDNT DO ANYTHING WAS JUST DUMB. SHE'S THE DAUGHTER OF THIS BIG TIME CRIME BOSS DONE KILLED PEOPLE IN THE FIRST BOOK BUT NOW SHE'S SO NAIVE IT WAS JUST SICKING. AND WERE SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE ISHIA IS THIS HATEFULL MASTERMIND THATS BEEN PLOTING SINCE BOOK 1 KILLED PEOPLE IN THE FIRST BOOK AND NOBODY SAW IT COMMING?? HE HATES THE BLACK MAFIA??! I THINK THE AUTHOR WAS TRYING TO HAVE THIS GREAT CLIMAX AND SHOCK YOU BUT IT FELL WAY SHORT!!!

All I can say is WOW! When I read what Isiah did I could not believe it. And then the ending had me on the edge of my seat. Cant wait for part 3.
