Queen B’s Decree: There was a lot going on in Accidentally in Love. Kingston and Myka have been in each other’s orbit for years, so when they meet up on a dating app they decide…one night couldn’t hurt, right? And thus begins their “no, we’re totally just hooking up, no feelings, except we talk all […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve been interested in Aurelia’s book since we met her in On Thin Ice. Aurelia is a victim of domestic violence, and she’s relegated to a wheelchair a big part of her life. But she’s still emotionally strong, raising her son and supporting her family. What I loved about Breaking the Ice […]
Queen B’s Decree: I think I have a new favorite hero, August from Unfortunately Yours. He’s basically a giant cinnamon roll, that can bench press you, while also saving kittens out of trees, but all he really wants is to love you and make you smile. Yes, I can get behind that kind of hero. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Unscripted With Mila was full of some instalove. Mila is a reclusive and shy author whose book is being turned into a movie, and Nick is the leading man. They meet in a couple different meetcutes until Nick finally discovers who she really is. And from there, their relationship moves at warp […]
Queen B’s Decree: I think Chef’s Choice was my first t4t—dual transgender main characters—and I was entranced. It wasn’t just about the romance, although I loved that too. It was about the humor and the disagreements (which were always resolved with grown-up discussion) and the realization that everyone has different experiences. Jean-Pierre and Luna, while […]
Queen B’s Decree: Good as Gold revisits my favorite small town in Vermont and the Rossi family. But…this one definitely had some second chance trope vibes. Matteo and Leila were best friends as teenagers but Matteo moved away as soon as possible and never really came back. Matteo comes back to his brother’s wedding after […]
Queen B’s Decree: Her Fixer Upper was cute and sweet and relatively predictable. Despite the predictability, it was still pretty enjoyable. Freya was a little neurotic and sometimes I found it hard to understand her reactions, but Charlie was a bit nonchalant for my tastes. But kudos to both of them, there is no way […]
Queen B’s Decree: Pity Date is by a new-to-me author and the cover sold me immediately. But I struggled initially. Faith has just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her, and she is really emotional about it. Maybe I’m heartless, but some of her crying jags were too much for me. I.E., seeing […]
Queen B’s Decree: You’ve Got Mail is my favorite RomCom movie of all time. So it’s no surprise that I love books with the same theme. Meant For Me hooked me from the start. Enid inherits both a broken down house and bookstore from the grandmother she never knew, but is surprised to find out […]
Queen B’s Decree: My wonderful friend recommended Accidentally Amy last fall…incessantly. And I thought “fine, it’s on the TBR” but we all know what that means….I’ll never read it. Until the audiobook went on sale for $1.99. I don’t even listen to audiobooks but I can’t resist a deal like that. And turns out, I […]
