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 […]
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 […]
