Queen B’s Decree: Big Bad Wolf was…weird. It suffers a bit from “first in a series” syndrome, where the world building overshadows the romance.
Neha meets Joe when she’s working as part of his defense team in his murder case. There is some immediate insta-lust on both sides. And for about 40% of the book, nothing happens. We get multiple points-of-view but it’s all vague history or information regarding the security or legal system.
And then the action picks up. But the romance and relationship growth never does. Neha and Joe have all the sex but why? They never develop deeper feelings so I had a hard time believing in their love story.
The shifter world and how everything related to our current political climate in the USA was the highlight. I think there is some potential for a pairing (or even a throuple!) with some of the side characters and I’m interested in who is featured in the future books.
