Queen B’s Decree: Loner sucked me in from the very beginning. Rosalie is locked up in her tower (like Rapunzel) with minimal contact with the outside world. Her mother is convinced that Rosalie is mentally ill and not safe to leave, so Rosalie’s only outside contact is watching the groundskeeper Preston, and chatting with an […]
Queen B’s Decree: Totally Folked started out strong. Jackson and Raquel meet at a wedding in Green Valley and sparks fly. Raquel only has one night before she flies back to LA where she is an actress and she wants to spend it with Jackson. The two click and connect amazingly but as the morning […]
Queen B’s Decree: If the Shoe Fits is basically a body positive play on Cinderella meets The Bachelor. What was great about If the Shoe Fits is that the evil stepmom is missing. Cindy’s stepmother is incredibly loving and supportive and the relationship Cindy has with her stepsisters is #goals. Her mom is a producer […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have to be 100% honest. I didn’t make it very far into The Dating Dare before I was annoyed and quit. I didn’t get any further than chapter one before I exited, stage left. The dialogue and writing were awkward and didn’t flow well. The whole “manwhore persona because it hides […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve discovered something about myself in the reading of Just One Look. I love romances and thrillers featuring male stalkers…but I just can’t get into a female stalker. Internalized sexism, here I come. Cassie was just a hot mess of a character. She’s pretty one-sided with no depth who easily becomes obsessed […]
Queen B’s Decree: Loved by Liam was the most non-angsty story I’ve read recently. Liam and Paige have an instant connection that was extremely emotional. Paige and her adorable daughter Lucy have been dealt a rough hand in life and as soon as Liam meets them, he wants to be their knight in shining armor. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Oh Tessa Bailey, is there anything you write that I won’t love? It Happened One Summer is the story of Piper. I truly didn’t expect to like Piper; she’s a spoiled rich girl who is on the lookout for Instagram likes and social media status. She’s banished to her biological father’s home […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Introvert’s Guide to Speed Dating was a quick read. Gonna be honest…not much happened. London is a single mom who gets talked into a round of speed dating hosted in a family owned bar. She goes to get her mind off her son’s hot soccer coach (excuse me, it’s called football) […]
Queen B’s Decree: I really felt for Ronan. He’s the eldest of triplets and part of a giant family, both by blood and by choice. So sometimes he doesn’t feel like he’s his own person; he’s just one of the triplets, or so-and-so’s cousin/son/etc. I totally understood why upon meeting Beth, he wanted to grab […]
Queen B’s Decree: Flipping Love You had some extremely relatable characters. Zeke is the baby of the family and fully embraces it. Oh, my mom wants to do my laundry? Yes, please, in what universe would I ever say no to that? And Jill is super focused on her work. Her life revolves around penguins…and […]
