Queen B’s Decree: The older I get, the less patience I have with unlikable characters. The Italian Job had promise. Forced proximity, fake relationship, enemies-to-lovers and all located within a beautiful location. But I couldn’t get over Jake. He was just so mean—the whole time (before respectfully, I quit). I don’t know why he had […]
Queen B’s Decree: First off, I did not finish Blame It on the Brontës. Honestly, I didn’t even finish the first chapter before I knew I couldn’t go on. Athena was a very annoying character, I could see the “secret” from a mile away, and I had no interest in reading a second chance romance […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a grumpy/sunshine trope, especially when the characters are queer. Our grump is Simone, a pastry chef who spends her days writing and testing out new recipes for a dying magazine. Enter Ray, her new kitchen manager—and whom she is begrudgingly attracted to. I related to Simone; change can be hard. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love fairy tale retellings, especially Beauty and the Beast retellings. What’s not to like? There’s always a “beast” hiding his inner marshmallow and often a great redemption arc. Izzy is an overworked editorial assistant and finds herself on the doorstep of the reclusive Beau Towers: who has promised his memoirs to […]
Queen B’s Decree: For full disclosure, I was a beta reader for Sarah but my opinions of Omega’s Obsession would stand regardless of that fact. I fucking love this book. So many omegaverse books have heroines with dark and tragic pasts or they resist the Omega hormones. Omega’s Obsession’s Heroine, Liv, is definitely the other […]
Queen B’s Decree: Right Number, Wrong Girl was a light and entertaining read. Sophie’s best friend works as an event planner and Sophie has to step in when Camilla has to leave for a family emergency. Long story short: she ends up pretending to be Camilla due to a miscommunication, except the Duke’s son, Hugo, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Both Chloe and Burke have a problem: they’ve been scammed. Burke’s “friend” slash business manager is gone and has embezzled his winery’s money. Chloe’s roommate sold the house out from under her, including all her belongings, so she’s effectively homeless. Burke and Chloe met and had a moment not long ago, so […]
Queen B’s Decree: Full disclosure—I didn’t finish Sari, Not Sari by Sonya Singh. I couldn’t connect with the main Heroine, Manny. She’s the CEO of her company Break Up, which basically drafts break-up emails and texts and sends them to your significant other. It was a little confusing; why was I reading a romance novel […]
Queen B’s Decree: I resonated with Solange so much. She accidentally overhears a bride talking with the non-groom and finds that she can’t keep quiet about it, so she crashes and breaks up Dean’s wedding. But Dean’s not so heartsick—his marriage was going to be a modern marriage of convenience. When he perpetuates a white […]
Queen B’s Decree: Doing It Right was low-angst, high-swoon, and a wonderfully easy book to read. It stars Presley and Mason: high school sweethearts who went their separate ways but never really moved on. Presley is now a single mom when Mason walks back into her life. He’s back home after an injury ends his […]
