Easy going cop Finn Bishop is gaga about his fiancee Kelsy Chandler. He can't wait to be a doting husband to her, and devoted dad to her five-year-old son. To him, Kelsy is a goddess, the queen of the universe. If only he could make her believe it. Queen of the universe? More like princess of bad luck and worse timing. Kelsy has certainly had her share, but not anymore. The aspiring TV news anchor is determined to be one of those women who has it all - great career, fantastic husband, financial security, and a happy family. Now that a TV station owner is promising to make her a star, it looks like her dream is within reach - queen at last! Of course, wearing the crown does have a few minor problems.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Kelsy Chandler, late thirties, beautiful, and sexy, seems to have it all: a good job in television, a gorgeous fiance eight years younger than her, and a terrific five-year-old son. So what's the problem? Well, her boss is creepy, and although she loves her fiance, does she really want more kids? And what happens when she turns droopy and wrinkly long before her intended? Maybe she should concentrate on her career. Finn Bishop, said fiance, is a cop currently on a stakeout that keeps him incommunicado. While they're out of touch, Kelsy gets into all kinds of trouble, even getting stopped for driving under the influence after a night out with her potential new boss. Will she ever tell Finn about this? How will they resolve things if she does? These divisive issues are fun, but the real pleasure is watching the unusual and quirky Kelsy in action. One minute readers will be shouting at her; the next they'll be doubled over with laughter at Plum's highly entertaining story. Maria Hatton

5.0 out of 5 stars
intriguing contemporary romance,
This review is from: Queen Of The Universe (Mass Market Paperback)
Morning news anchor Kelsy Chandler feels life is great as she enjoys her job, shares a deep love of one another with her child, and has the respect and adulation of her handsome fiancé, undercover police officer Finn Bishop. Perhaps the only down side is that Finn's work makes it difficult for them to share moments alone especially since her son is always around.
Finn would journey into hell if he could make Kelsy happy as she is the QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE, at least in his galaxy. Because of that belief, Finn risks his job to spend time with his beloved in Montana because an undercover cop cannot take a vacation when they are on a case. Meanwhile Kelsy has a career opportunity, but hides the offer from Finn while she considers whether she wants to take the position. Soon the two lovers learn how complex life can get when they omit to tell each other the truth as the web of deceit grows out of control. Both knows they must talk, but each is reluctant fearing the response. This intriguing contemporary romance works on two levels: the career decisions that impact family especially when mobility and relocating are significant factors for promotions and how omissions can take a life of their own. The character driven story line looks deep at relationships as Finn wants to prove to his once burned beloved that she means everything to him while Kelsy ponders whether giving up her career to become a wife as she once was is too risky. Fans will enjoy this delightful love story. Harriet Klausner

Confusing on its own,
By Kimberly Waterman (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen Of The Universe (Mass Market Paperback)
Nowhere on the cover, or in the first pages before the story, is this book listed as a sequel to Prince of Frogs, yet it reads like a sequel. You have the impression you were already supposed to know some back-story on these characters. Reading this one on its own, you feel a little bit like you've been thrown into the middle of it. I just came to Amazon and checked Prince of Frogs. It's clear from the synopsis that Prince of Frogs came first and should be read first. As another reviewer points out, the style is a little different, but I'm otherwise enjoying the book. I don't completely get these characters, but I like the plot and I definitely want to keep reading to find out what happens.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Annoying at best,
This review is from: Queen Of The Universe (Mass Market Paperback)
Boring plot, boring characters, pointless fighting between the two main characters that goes on and on and on. This book interested me a little in the beginning but eventually I found the two main characters, Kelsey and Finn, so darn annoying, I skimmed the remainder of the book away. At one point, Finn actually wishes that he and Kelsey (his girlfriend) someday get caught having sex by Kelsey's son. He's five - need I say more?
