Queen B’s Decree: I first fell in love with Starlight Cove in Defiant Heart, with my favorite enemies-to-lovers trope. Protective Heart is friends-to-lovers, and that doesn’t always work for me. But oh, it SOOOO did here. Grumpy/sunshine here I come! Beck is such a grump and he simps so hard for Everly. They’ve been friends […]
Queen B’s Decree: After the cliffhanger ending (curse you MM!) in Deal With the Devil, I was on tenterhooks, wondering how this could be resolved. We get more background on Jericho and more from his point-of-view, making him a more likable and vulnerable character. Indy also shows some growth, developing a backbone and not so […]
Queen B’s Decree: A little secret about me: I love Hallmark-style movies. Something that makes my heart happy. A Merry Little Meet Cute is basically what if a Hallmark movie and a smutty-smut-smut book have a baby. M.A.G.I.C. The chemistry between Bee and Nolan was perfect. A whole lotta lust with just the right amount […]
Queen B’s Decree: Jericho Forge is essentially a billionaire pirate who lives in the Mediterranean; he’s like a romance novel dream man. And he’s an alpha-hole? Well of course he is, Meghan March doesn’t write boring male Heroes. I loved the secrets and action, watching Jericho manipulate the situation, knowing he will inevitably fall for […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love anything Erin Nicholas writes, and Gotta Be Bayou is no exception. Spencer starts off on the wrong foot with his “girlfriend list,” but it was easy to see that he had that list for the wrong reasons. And I love that we get to delve into his mind; I love […]
Queen B’s Decree: Y’all…I can’t really resist a romance that features healthcare. It’s my *literal* bread and butter, so reading about a character that is similar to someone I could know in real life? Spill ALL the tea, good sir. While their initial connection is full-on chemistry and lust, I love that the author didn’t […]
Queen B’s Decree: Freely admit that I did not finish Ten Years. The premise wasn’t really my favorite trope, but I was open to trying a new author. Ally, Becca’s best friend and Charlie’s fiancé dies from cancer, and every year thereafter the two complete Ally’s bucket list. Becca and Charlie seem to hate each […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a good enemies-to-lovers, so Enemies with Benefits seemed right up my alley. Ben’s teenage behavior almost bordered on bullying for me. But once they reunited as adults, they were both equally enemies. Lots of pranks here! I did feel the chemistry between them. I enjoyed the flashbacks and seeing Ben’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a science-y romance. I’m a scientist at heart—I can’t help it. Love on the Brain had all the things needed for a perfect, nerdy romance. hot, aloof hero quirky, genius heroine just enough science terms without feeling like a lecture misunderstandings because both characters are oblivious a little bit of […]
Queen B’s Decree: Sometimes you just need a Tessa Bailey story to break your losing-read streak. My Killer Vacation features the dirty talking that Tessa Bailey is so great at and has one of my favorite tropes: grumpy/sunshine. The sparks between Taylor and Myles are legitimately on fire. Myles is such a lovable, protective grump. […]
