Queen B’s Decree: I was drawn to Duvet Day due to a single line in the blurb: Young lawyer Alexa Humphries’s one true love is her precious duvet Many years ago, Queen J and I took a vacation where we first encountered what we called the “cloud bed,” and the memory of that duvet has […]
Queen B’s Decree: Leif’s Serenity had some serious chemistry. Our heroes are Fernando, known to us as the chef and manager of his family-owned restaurant, and Leif, a travel blogger who is just passing through. Fernando is bogged down with family issues and responsibilities, so he tries to restrict his “fun” with tourists so there’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Soulmate Equation made my nerdy heart happy. Jess is a struggling single mom who does her statistics based freelancing at the same coffee shop every day.

Queen B’s Decree: Callan’s Atlas was a fast paced and quick read. Our main characters are the young, damaged, and broken Callan and the older, bossy, and rebellious Atlas.

Queen B’s Decree: This felt like a coming-of-age story but even after reflecting upon Hurricane Summer, I still don’t know what the lesson was. Everyone sucks and life is terrible? This is supposedly an ode to the wonders of Jamaica, but except for some scenery and landscape all we hear about are poverty, shaming, racism, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Just Last Night was an extremely emotional and beautiful book. This was more of a love story about friendship versus a traditional romance. Just Last Night focuses on the very difficult topic of grief. It was told through Eve’s point of view and I thought it very accurately described the painfully emotional […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m having a hard time categorizing this as a romance, as Somehow Finding Us felt more like a journey about personal growth and acceptance.

It was hilarious and sarcastic, but you could […]
