Queen B’s Decree: Mistakes Were Made combines some great tropes and features: sapphic, age gap, taboo, and steamy.
I really loved the steam in Mistakes Were Made; it was really the best part of the book. The characters were also well-developed and had interesting dialogue. But I found the pacing to be off. Cassie and Erin were so wishy-washy and back and forth and it just.kept.going.
Also they were both kind of terrible at times. Cassie considers Erin’s daughter her best friend, yet how can she keep such a big, taboo secret from her? And likewise, Erin, she’s trying to fix her relationship with her daughter, but is willing to throw that away for a lusty fling?
Regardless of all those flaws, Mistakes Were Made was a fun and enjoyable read. I love having more sapphic representation in publishing and I will do my best to read them all.
