Confessions of a Sheba Queen by Autumn Bardot
Publication Date: March 10, 2019
Cleis Press
eBook & Paperback; 384 Pages
Genre: Historical/Erotica
With a host of unforgettable characters and unbridled sensual escapades, Confessions of a Sheba Queen is a triumphantly erotic retelling of an indomitable woman prevailing in a man’s world.
During a raging sandstorm along a riverbed in the ancient lands of Saba, a powerful jinni born of smokeless fire gives birth to a half-human daughter. Bilqis does not inherit her mother’s magical abilities, but the fire of her jinni blood does imbue her with other powerful gifts. As she undergoes her rites of womanhood and her insatiable sexual hunger is awakened, it becomes clear—this is the key to her “great destiny” prophesized at her birth. But it could also lead to her total undoing.
Bilqis comes to understand that her supernatural talents have the power to make men, and women, and nations prostrate themselves in utter devotion to her. When tragedy strikes, she leaves her home to seek revenge against the tyrannical god-king whose reign is a plague upon his land and people. Armed with only her body, courage, and wits, she quickly masters the art of seduction, all the while resisting the mind-consuming call to stay locked in an endless cycle of carnal passion.
Destiny soon intervenes, and what began as a quest for vengeance becomes a mission to heal the land of Saba from a twisted, corrupt regime and to see it become the wealthiest kingdom in all the land. Yet, it is only after meeting the already legendary and wildly attractive King Solomon that Bilqis discovers her greatest battle is not with others, but with herself.

Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐Phew! Is it hot in here? Because that was one sexy read! Wowza!
I am a huge fan of Autumn Bardot's books. She chooses the most badass women from history to write about and I'm always inspired and fascinated by them. With Confessions of a Sheba Queen we meet Bilqis, also known in history as The Queen of Sheba. Her mother was a full jinni and knows her daughter is destined for greatness. To help prepare her she teaches her how her sex can be used for power as well as pleasure. She also hires tutors to help her learn, though at that time education was for the men only. Bilqis is only a half-jinni but witnesses her mother's power when growing up.
When Bilqis' life changes tragically she takes it upon herself to exact revenge and sets out to find the men responsible and to confront the man who ordered it. Her journey takes unexpected twists and turns and when she is finally face to face with King Soloman she must use all of her talents to fulfill her great destiny.
This was another phenomenal book from Autumn Bardot! I absolutely cannot wait for her next one to see who she is writing about next.
If you like to read about strong women who overcome adversity to create their own destiny, you should definitely pick this book up. If you aren't a fan of sex in your reading then you may want to steer clear because it's a hot, hot read!
