Queen B’s Decree: I have to confess, I did not finish The Woman on the Pier. Caroline’s teenage daughter died in a terrorist attack a few months ago, and Caroline is not dealing with her grief well. Her daughter had lied about being in the city and Caroline is determined to make someone pay for […]
Queen B’s Decree: While Second-in-Command is the second in the series, I actually enjoyed it more than The Boss. Marcus took over the operations at the end of the previous book and he’s done a great job of it, relying on his instincts and fighting crime. It’s those instincts that lead him to Missy during […]
Queen B’s Decree: Out of the Blue was a little more angsty than I expected. Blue is working and living at an animal rescue when her best friend from L.A. “volunteers” the farm as the location for mandatory community service for a troubled actor. What she doesn’t expect is his bossy, older brother to move […]
Queen B’s Decree: Love Life started out well, but I soon found myself struggling to finish. Tess, our heroine, discovered her boyfriend in bed with another man and she spirals mentally. She relapses with her old eating disorder and the dark thoughts in her head become loud. It’s those voices that I found so hard […]
Queen B’s Decree: Grumpy/Sunshine was the name of the trope here. Gabriella is the aristocrat here and she’s not your typical rich and spoiled heroine. She’s kind and loving and is always willing to help out her village/community. So it’s hard to understand why Miles, the head gardener of the estate, seems to hate her […]
Queen B’s Decree: Every time I read a new story from Erin Nicholas I think “surely, it can’t be better than *previous book I adored*?” And yet, each time, I find myself unable to put my kindle down and dealing with sore facial muscles from all the smiling I unconsciously do while reading. Sealed With […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Boss starts immediately with Evie on the run from her abusive boyfriend. She stumbles upon Matteo and his people and she is given a choice of either death or marrying Matteo. Not hard to figure out what she chose. Their relationship progression was a little weird for me. It starts with […]
Queen B’s Decree: Finally You was full of angst. Nydia and Mane were childhood best friends that eventually turned into something more until their relationship abruptly ends. They’ve been apart for 11 years and while both claim to have moved on, it’s clear to us readers that they’re lying to themselves. Finally You feels a […]
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 […]
