Queen B’s Decree: Beaus and Arrows is a very cute concept. Emory is cupid, and his job is essentially as a matchmaker. But ironically Emory doesn’t believe in true love…so he’s terrible at his job.
So terrible that he messes up the love life of one of his favorite clients and breaks her heart. The only way to fix this is to work together with the broken hearted Blair. And the cherry on top of this bad situation is that Emory is being audited by the powers that be, so he’s on a time crunch.
Beaus and Arrows was adorable. Emory and Blair slowly come together and become friends, bonding over his job and the terrible dates he sets her up on. Emory especially grows as a character, learning that perhaps love isn’t the awful thing he thought it was, as he catches feelings for Blair.
Their banter was hilarious, and I loved reading about their antics together. While the plot was a tad predictable, and the ending conflict got resolved a little too easily, Beaus and Arrows was still a fun and enthralling read. I adored it and will be watching for more from this new-to-me author!
