Queen B’s Decree: The Pairing starts from Theo’s point-of-view and immediately begins with a break-up. So yes, the dreaded second chance romance trope is alive and well in this novel. And sometimes I can handle it. I could not this time. Theo and Kit are childhood best friends turned lovers then exes, and they meet […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ll take ‘Emotional Childhood Trauma’ for 200, Alex. While I can commend Chelsea for going to therapy and actively working through her emotionally abusive childhood, she was still a tough character to like. She near purposely self-sabotaged and in doing so, was pretty mean to Bas. Bas was no angel, but he […]
Queen B’s Decree: Yesssssss, this was a satisfying read. It’s almost a grumpy/sunshine: the reclusive tech billionaire who values his privacy at all costs and the young, new college graduate just spending the summer in NYC. And OF COURSE, Bennett finds himself falling for Efa against his will (very P&P of you, sir!). For most […]
Queen B’s Decree: I see Pride and Prejudice-inspired and I go “gimme.” Even my husband goes “another P&P? Haven’t you read enough?” No, husband. I have not. Elizabeth of East Hampton just hit the spot. Close enough to the original story without feeling like it was rewritten verbatim, both likable (and unlikable) characters, modern adaption […]
Queen B’s Decree: King of Nothing was a little different from a normal ARR story. No major suspense, stalker, or bad guy attacking. Just a glorious love story. Elora and Roman are two people who don’t have much in common, except both is grieving for the loss of a loved one. And it’s in their […]
Queen B’s Decree: Hello, it’s me. I’m here to admit I have a problem…with not being able to stop listening to these audiobooks. The Marriage Auction Season 2 has me in a chokehold. It has everything I love: What’s in these books that I can’t resist? I’ll never know, but I can’t get enough of […]
Queen B’s Decree: The “went to Las Vegas and woke up married” is a micro trope that I can’t resist. Singer Maya and football player Sloan wake up married after their first meeting upon a night in Vegas, and when the news goes viral they decide to stay married for mutual professional benefit. The physical […]
Queen B’s Decree: Sarina Bowen never fails me. Nash is my newest book boyfriend. He falls first, he’s protective but doesn’t impose his will, he COOKS, he’s supportive, and he has tattoos and a hot body. Need I go on?? Golden Touch had a wonderful mix of suspense and plot with romance. I was hooked […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Love Plot was a relatively light and fun read. Star is this free spirit, bohemian, with a couple different jobs. While Rafe is this uptight veterinarian from a wealthy family. After an awkward meeting, Rafe pays Star to be his fake girlfriend to get his family to stop trying to set […]
Queen B’s Decree: I struggled with this one. I just didn’t connect with our first FMC, Ellie. She’s Armenian, but basically is doing all she can to not be associated with her culture and heritage. An Americanized nickname, lives away from her family, works in tech, etc. She meets Vanya, another Armenian, at this big […]
