Queen B’s Decree: One of my most recent accomplishments was finishing this book. At the time I bought the book, it included 2000+ pages of pure smut. It includes the title book (an erotic novella loosely based on Cinderella) and about a million other stories. (SIDE NOTE: As of today, the page count has decreased…so […]
Queen B’s Decree: Our Heroine is a middle-aged mom and her Hero is her college-aged son’s friend. I have no problem with massive age gaps (looking at you Diana Palmer!) so this didn’t bother me. What bothered me was how boring it was. Plus Heroine’s best friend was over the top. I just couldn’t imagine anyone […]
Queen B’s Decree: Have I ever mentioned my love of obsessive heroes? In case you don’t know me, I have a deep love for obsessive, stalker-ish behavior. In books. Not real life. I don’t want my real life to be Forensic Files material. But in books? Love it. And Gray fits the bill. *SWOON* Book: Notice […]
Queen B’s Decree: So. You’d think I’d love this one. Prisoner of war? Angst? Childhood sweethearts? No. It was too cliched. I just couldn’t finish. Of course she marries some other childhood friend. And of course he’s abusive. Oh surprise! He’s a cop! :/ Book: Tortured by Nicole Williams Series: standalone Genre: Contemporary Hotness: mild salsa? […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m a little late to this one (like three years late!). Normally, musicians aren’t my favorite sort of characters. But Taryn and Trace are different – a country music singer and a rap artist. I couldn’t resist the dichotomy. Well. It worked. Loved the chemistry between Taryn and Trace. Their difficulties felt […]
Queen B’s Decree: Spoiler alert – I have pet peeves and turn offs in plot lines. One of my major turn offs occurred in Love in Lingerie. It didn’t stop me from finishing the book, but it definitely affected my enjoyment. Trey and Kate (our hero and heroine) are coworkers/friends the entire story line, essentially. […]
Today something happened that rarely occurs. Queen B read a non-romance novel. Gold star for me! I might be two years late, but I finally read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. Now I can finally watch the movie! I cringed through some scenes, but I was determined to find out the mystery. […]
Queen B’s Decree: This was my first Winter Renshaw book, even though I have a lot of her books on my Amazon wish list. Initially, I was disappointed to find two “bonus” stories as well. I’m not a fan of extra stories included. I have no real basis for my feelings, I just have them. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t resist this plot summary. Protective older brother raising his young siblings? Warms my heart. Luckily, Tru Blue lived up to its summary. I loved the characterization and interactions of both Truman and Gemma, especially with Tru’s young siblings. This story hit upon some dark sides of life, but it dealt […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m on a mission to read old books – conquer my years old TBR list, so to speak. I rearranged my kindle’s sort order and found this book by browsing. I find I have very little to say about it. It was enjoyable and light. It held my interest, but it won’t […]
