Queen B’s Decree: Wicked is the Reaper is a gray retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Wicked ‘wins’ the princess, Rowan, and steals her away to his reclusive castle where he locks her in his dungeon. This novella is pretty short, so there isn’t a ton of time for relationship development. But I did still […]
Queen B’s Decree: Mr. Nice Spy starts with a bang—literally, Andee works as a pyrotechnic expert. Andee has just done a DNA test to find and confirm her biological father and unfortunately she discovers he is an international criminal, when the CIA shows up at her doorstep. She’s kidnapped by her father’s men, along with […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was so into Descending Into Madness at first. An Alice in Wonderland retelling with a Christmas spin. Alice was a bit impulsive and had some cutesy wintery curses—holy tinsel!—but the storyline hooked me. I loved the storyline of the evil Queen and the “rebel alliance” on the run, and the variety […]
Queen B’s Decree: Bold is the continuation of Sierra and Aodhan’s story, the conclusion of the first book, Demure. At the end of the first, Sierra and Aodhan are separated, soon after Sierra turns from a human to a fae. I loved Sierra’s progression. She doesn’t have Aodhan for the beginning of the story, so […]
Queen B’s Decree: A Very Merry Mistake was like a dirty Hallmark movie. It’s a relatively light and fluffy holiday story, but filled with a lot more smut than I anticipated. Claire grew on me as a character. At first…she was so stubborn, rude, and snobby and I wanted JJ to keep on driving. But […]
Queen B’s Decree: Vermilion Sunrise has a very dystopian feel; a bunch of teenagers are sent to a new planet (many light years away) to begin colonization. And no adults are present because they don’t survive the cryosleep. But none of these teenagers seem to have the skills that you’d expect for a new colony. […]
Queen B’s Decree: There’s just something about Aurora Rose Reynold’s brand of instalove romances that I just can’t resist. Olivia is Bax’s best friend’s little sister…but she’s not so little anymore. I loved the forbidden aspect, the “will they, won’t they” as they both try to resist the other. ARR typically writes super alpha MMCs, […]
Queen B’s Decree: A Pack for Winter was exceptionally cozy omegaverse, perfect for snuggling season. I liked that each character had very distinct personalities;❄️Ivy, the people pleaser omega that acts like a beta most of the time❄️Rome, the alpha that wants to fix everything❄️James, the sneaky beta that actually does fix everything❄️Logan, the big boi […]
Queen B’s Decree: All I want for Christmas is a Krampus this year. But the kind that likes to be punished and wants to grovel. Thankfully, Sarah knows what I want. Jolly Cupid is a lighthearted (and dirty 👀) holiday novella featuring a cupid, a reaper, and Krampus. It was weirdly cute, weirdly hot, and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am completely in love with this series. It’s like a warm hug. Rose and Luc may have been separated for the bulk of this story, but it never feels like it. Both of them are so completely devoted to the other, so sure that they are going to persevere and “beat […]
