Queen B’s Decree: The Weekend Escape is about six old friends reconnecting on a weekend trip to an isolated island. Their trip is supposed to be full of fun abseiling and outdoor activities, but almost immediately tragedy strikes with injury. From there, paranoia abounds and everyone is immediately suspicious of the others. The pacing felt […]
Queen B’s Decree: I had some hesitation before diving into There’s Always Someday. The “unrequited love” trope is sometimes so hard for me to read. It’s like watching The Office’s episode of Scott’s Tots. I just can’t watch/read without cringing. But There’s Always Someday surprised me. While Clea has been pining for Nolan for some […]
Queen B’s Decree: Eight Perfect Hours was a bit like a Hallmark movie. Noelle is on her way home from a school reunion when she gets stuck on a major highway during a massive snowstorm. It’s there she spends eight hours with another stranded motorist. It feels like fate to Noelle, but they part without […]
Queen B’s Decree: Under the Whispering Door was beautiful and heartbreaking. I kept thinking “how is a story about someone dying so funny and addicting?” Wallace didn’t live his life to the fullest and now that he’s passed, he’s finding out just what was missing. As he’s in limbo, waiting to cross over, he forms […]
Queen B’s Decree: Harvest of Love is exactly what I expect from the Insta-Spark collection…sweetness and HEAs. Dani is a VP with a high pressure job that is starting to affect her mental health. Needing to escape one day, she drives and drives until she somehow ends up at Noah’s family’s restaurant/store/farm. Immediately there is […]
Queen B’s Decree: I freely admit that as I get older, I have more limits on what I’m willing to put up with. And When Sparks Fly hit my limit. One of my least favorite tropes occurred in When Sparks Fly: the manwhore best friend hero. And something very early on in the storyline turned […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Charm Offensive was adorable. I can’t resist a “The Bachelor”-esque reality TV premise, and seeing this was a LGBTQ story as well? SIGN ME UP. Charlie is a socially awkward tech genius who is on this dating show to get back into the tech world after a problem at his previous […]
Queen B’s Decree: Vance was always my least favorite brother (or at least he was after I read all his other brothers’ books) so I knew Yours to Keep would be a harder book for me to enjoy. Vance is just a harder character to connect to, but his relationship with Dare was really adorable. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Age of Ava was a bit angsty. Hunter has always lived like a rolling stone gathering no moss, but doesn’t know what to do with the feelings inspired by Ava. He’s her new neighbor after he inherits the property from his estranged grandfather and Ava can’t keep herself away. Their relationship felt […]
Queen B’s Decree: Hot Desk had a cute premise but was fairly predictable (except for one major scene/crisis). Alice has been dying to get back to the office after working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, but discovers she’s now sharing a desk with her enemy/crush Jamie. Their friendship begins through post-it notes and emails […]
