Queen B’s Decree: I can’t resist a Lynn Painter rom com. The way she uses “moron” or “dipshit” as affectionate terms of endearment just works for me. I loved so much of the banter in Happily Never After. Whether it was between Sophie and Max, or between her elderly roommates (LARRY FOREVER), I felt like […]
Queen B’s Decree: Love Under the Microscope really felt like a traditional rom com, with Zelda and Parker on opposing sides, but coming together for a common goal. It was filled with witty banter and zany and ridiculous situations. Did I find it funny and humorous? Yes. Did it feel over the top and that […]
Queen B’s Decree: Where the Old Roses Grow is the story of Rose and Jahi, a slow progression from teacher and parent, to friends, and eventually to romantic partners. The book itself is actually a collection of seven novella size stories, kind of like a serial. I found the dialogue to be a little stilted […]
Queen B’s Decree: J.S. Scott’s Billionaire series are always very satisfying reads, and Kaleb’s was more of the same. Kaleb and Anna are both kind of floundering in their personal life (professional is no big deal, hello, we’re talking billionaire here) when they meet. I love that their relationship started as friends and flourished and […]
Queen B’s Decree: No matter what pen name she uses, I will read anything Erin Nicolle writes. We’ve got your standard “my grandfather is the king of a tiny European country and I need to be married to accept the crown” marriage of convenience trope. But Torin doesn’t want the woman his grandfather “won” in […]
Queen B’s Decree: Whenever I read a Claudia Burgoa book, I prepare myself for some angst. Famous Last Words does not skimp on the angst, nor the emotional pain. Seraphina and Brahms were childhood friends-to-lovers until a GIANT secret separates them. It’s only years later they reunite, but Seraphina ain’t down for it. Filled with […]
Queen B’s Decree: Do you see this cover? OF COURSE I’m going to read this book, I can’t resist. Swift and Saddled was a quick and happy read. Wes is one of the best MMC’s I’ve read in a while. He recognizes Ada’s walls and her boundaries and he doesn’t push…just quietly supports her. And […]
Queen B’s Decree: It has been years since I last read a Mariana Zapata slow burn. Y-E-A-R-S. Her books are just so intimidating for me. All the waiting! All Rhodes Lead Here hooked me from the start. Immediately Rhodes is the grump to the sunshine, Aurora. He’s her reluctant landlord, after his son rented out […]
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 […]
