Queen B’s Decree: Greg had some severe himbo energy. It was the perfect foil to grumpy, non-divergent Julien. Greg (cocktails) and Julien (wine sommelier) are kind of work rivals, but are forced to work together to plan happy hour events (also if you don’t know me in real life, you need to know that I […]
Queen B’s Decree: This was the perfect romance novel for people like me, who like fancy food and have watched a lot of Gordon Ramsey TV shows. Alexander is kind of the Gordon Ramsey here. He has three Michelin stars and his staff are all scared of him. Enter Eden—who once knew him as a […]
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 […]
