The Fake Wedding Project by Pippa Grant
Queen B’s Decree: This was the first story I’ve ever read from Pippa Grant, but I don’t think it will be the last. The Fake Wedding Project is definitely ridiculous, but I just had so much fun while reading. Dane and Amanda are stuck within a generations-long family feud, even through they’ve never participated. When […]
Beg, Borrow, or Steal by Sarah Adams
Honor by Danielle Baker
Queen B’s Decree: Oof, the grief and emotion in this series just doesn’t stop coming, does it? Teddy is a newly-widowed mom of two (soon to be three) and she’s just moved in next door to her brother’s best friend/boss, Xander. And Xander is this hot, older dude who never thought he’d have a family […]
A Simple Life by Melanie Moreland
Protect by Paisley Hope
Queen B’s Decree: You know, second chance trope can be dicey with me. Usually a miscommunication, or one character makes all the decisions for the couple. But Paisley…somehow Paisley wrote it in a way that it made sense and I couldn’t stop reading. Grief is a major theme for this entire series, and it’s done […]
Temple of Swoon by Jo Segura
Queen B’s Decree: Temple of Swoon felt like I was watching an action-y RomCom movie. Is it a little cheesy? A bit instalove-y? Unbelievable events and actions? Yes to all of those. But did I still devour and enjoy this one? Again, yes. Miri and Rafe are instantly smitten with each other when they meet, […]
The Fault in Forever by Claudia Burgoa
Queen B’s Decree: A love triangle is not my favorite trope, but this one included a character just waking from a coma. I had to know what would happen. And I learned this felt less like a love triangle, and more like a widow who hasn’t even attempted to process her grief. While technically Keane […]
Fight by Sloane St. James
Queen B’s Decree: Fight starts out pretty heavy, Cal’s mentor and superintendent has just died—in a trauma-inducing way–and then Cal finds his fiancee cheating while at the funeral. I can definitely see why he turns into a fuck boy. Years later he meets up with Scottie, new in town after escaping from what I would […]
