Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed Kamila Knows Best so I quickly snapped up Jana Goes Wild as soon as I saw it. I should have read the blurb better, because I soon learned it contains the dreaded “second chance” trope. Jana and Anil had a two week fling that ended badly five years ago, but […]
Queen B’s Decree: I think my love affair with Joe Goldberg is fizzling out. I…got bored during For You and Only You. It was the same thing: Joe gets obsessed with girl. Joe decides to kill someone because of girl. But this time he’s also part of a writing fellowship workshop. So we just keep […]
Queen B’s Decree: Dr. Perfect, aka Zach, is the next of the Cove brothers. His family has nicknamed him Dr. Perfect…even though he feels the opposite of perfect. He’s moving into private practice a few days a week, and Ellie is the temp worker sent to be his new receptionist. The thing about Zach…is that […]
Queen B’s Decree: I discovered a new and specific trope I love while reading Fearless Heart. It’s “boy has major crush as a teen but doesn’t know how to handle it so does anything to get her attention, turning them into “enemies;” boy has meaningless flings after girl moves away but immediately stops when she […]
Queen B’s Decree: I had a mix of feelings regarding Forbidden: Part One. I thought Forbidden was very well written and I found minimal grammar or spelling issues, the plot was interesting, and the world building was intriguing. But, I found Forbidden to be a very long read. The story felt like it dragged on […]
Queen B’s Decree: I received a surprise package that included a special edition of Never Saw You Coming, so I couldn’t wait and had to immediately read it. Never Saw You Coming had one of my favorite tropes: instalove. Loch meets Tuesday at a coffee shop and they don’t really have a meet cute; they’re […]
Queen B’s Decree: Talk about some angst. The Way of Us features Heath and his longterm BFF, Atzi. Heath, of course, has been in love with her for years but has never told or shown her his feelings. And frankly, both of them were so messed up from traumatic events from their respective childhoods, telling […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m trying to branch out this year and read new to me authors and genres I don’t often read. What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is about a family and what happens to them after 13 year-old Ruthy goes missing. Ruthy’s two sisters, Nina and Jessica, see a woman named Ruby on a […]
Queen B’s Decree: An Unexpected Chance was a light and refreshing read. No third act break-up, no major miscommunications trope, plenty of steam. The romance is a bit instalove, but what else do you expect from the Insta-Spark Collection? It doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. Simon and Amy are adorably together, and Mia (Simon’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: Something Wild & Wonderful was a beautiful and emotional journey. Alexei and Ben meet while they are hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, an over 2500 mile length hike that spans from Southern California all the way to Canada. For Ben, it’s his last big adventure before he starts his new career as […]
