Queen B’s Decree: The Girlfriend Zone was a pretty satisfying read. With tropes like an age gap, forced proximity, forbidden romance, coach’s daughter…how can I resist?
Miles and Leighton together just worked. They had amazing chemistry and were both so supportive of each other. While there was definitely a bit too much will they/won’t they, I did enjoy seeing them become friends and accepting that they both wanted more.
While there romance was ‘forbidden,’ it didn’t really feel that angsty. I know her dad was Miles’ coach, but communication was all that was needed and poof, it would have been fixed!
The narrators were top tier and I think I wouldn’t have read this as quick if it wasn’t for the audiobook. Both Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke really embodied the characters and I felt transported into the rink.
