Queen B’s Decree: So you’ve probably gathered by now that I’ve forced Sarah Blue to be my friend. We were chatting about One Pucked Up Pack and she told me her alpha/beta readers were crying while reading. I scoffed on the inside; I don’t cry nearly ever when reading romance. Dear Reader…I should have taken […]
Queen B’s Decree: For Her Consideration had a tiny bit of the boss/employee vibe (Nina works for a company contracted by Ari) and I could get into the secretiveness/taboo of their relationship. Ari is an up and coming actress and Nina essentially writes emails for her. When Ari has questions about the emails, they meet […]
Queen B’s Decree: I admit I might not have been in the best mindset for Always the Almost. Something early on really bothered me, and it was enough that I chose to quit and not finish. Miles has recently come out as trans (AFAB) and his cis-hetero boyfriend Shane recently broke up with him. That’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: On Thin Ice had a bunch of tropes that you might think are a bit much. But it all works together well. While I categorized this as a hockey book, I would say that the focus is on the relationship building, and that the sports aspect is minimal. And frankly, the relationship […]
Queen B’s Decree: You know, I did this to myself. If you’re into some dub-con slash bestiality dinosaur erotica, Triceratops and Bottoms is the book for you. I…still don’t really know why I read this except for a fatal case of curiosity. Tiny extra star added for the final story about a T-Rex security guard […]
Queen B’s Decree: Oh Erin Nicholas, is there anything you write that I don’t love? Haven’t discovered it yet. Rocked Bayou really hit me a lot harder than I anticipated. Somehow—and I should expect this by now—but Erin Nicholas always finds a way to take an easy, lighthearted story and add something deep and real. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know what it is about this series, but it has got me hooked. I loved how Apollo was such a marshmallow for Cassandra—he may be a member of the Thirteen, but he was just so adoring of her. And Cassandra has seen some shit in her life, but she’s been […]
Queen B’s Decree: I actually didn’t really enjoy the FMC, Hallie. She just seemed like a bit of a mess (which fits with the series title, I suppose)—she’s floundering in her job after her grandmother passed, she’s still stuck on this crush she’s had since she was 14, and she’s still a virgin…at nearly 30. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ll take a kidnapping for 200, Alex. Gideon is a drug lord, but he still has his code of loyalty, so he promises to watch out for a dead friend’s sister. The moment he sees Sasha, he gets a tiny bit obsessed. And I don’t blame him. Sasha was fantastic: strong-willed, hardworking, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was trying to describe this book to a friend and the best thing I could come up with was “old timey mystery with an interesting narrator.” I loved the writing in Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. I was entranced by Ernest and his inner monologue and I couldn’t wait […]
