Queen B’s Decree: Till There Was You had potential, but I didn’t really vibe with it. Lexi and Jake meet one night at a dive bar where Jake is performing, and they spend one wonderful weekend together. Soon after Jake travels to LA where he is discovered and overnight, he’s a big star. And then […]
Queen B’s Decree: Bewitched was a book club selection, and the blurb definitely hooked me. Bewitched has an interesting premise: Selene is a young witch who constantly loses her memories due to her magic use and she inadvertently awakens a long-asleep warlock…who thinks she is his soulmate from long ago. It’s definitely a bit of […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love the alternate realities plot line. very “choose your own adventure.” Jane’s sort-of-estranged sister needs a ride one night in the middle of a storm, and the story shows what happens if Jane decides to go out and pick her up…or doesn’t. The pacing was great, and I loved that each […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve been sitting on this review for a while. I think I’ll do a list to organize my thoughts. I guess at the end of the day Throne of the Fallen was really well written and interesting. But there is nothing that really stands out for me. Except for the Dark and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was a very young teenager when Princess Diana died, but I remember how much it affected the world. The Royal Game heavily takes influence from this, and I was sucked in. There is a bit of a romance (between Jennie and Hugh), but most of the story is the mystery unfolding: […]
Queen B’s Decree: There hasn’t ever been an Anita Kelly book that I haven’t loved, and How You Get the Girl doesn’t break that streak. Julie is a high school girl’s basketball coach, and one day her newest player’s foster mom walks in…and it’s the ex-WNBA player that was featured in the posters on he […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Friendship Study gave me a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings. Even though I did cry at one point. Lulu and Jesse have an awkward blind date then unexpectedly meet up at a psychological study on the local college campus about the current generation having a hard time making friends. The rules […]
Queen B’s Decree: As the great T. Swift says “There is nothing I do better than revenge.” Petty Cupid is a great mix of schadenfreude and romance/sex/connection. So you get a little bit of everything! Love is a cupid who recently dumped by her boss, and even though she isn’t heartsick…she is humiliated and wants […]
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put this one down; I couldn’t stop gushing about it to my friends. The set-up is slightly complicated: Athena is engaged to Johnny. Athena meets Johnny’s older brother, Matthew, for the first time at their engagement party—which leads to a “moment.” Fast forward and Johnny dumps Athena a week before […]
Queen B’s Decree: I must have been in my cowboy era when I discovered Paisley Hope and immediately signed up to read her debut. And boy, am I glad I did. Holding the Reins was a fantastic read. Great characterizations, just the right amount of steam, a wonderful sense of familial support, and true emotional […]
