Happily Never After by Lynn Painter
Queen B’s Decree: I can’t resist a Lynn Painter rom com. The way she uses “moron” or “dipshit” as affectionate terms of endearment just works for me. I loved so much of the banter in Happily Never After. Whether it was between Sophie and Max, or between her elderly roommates (LARRY FOREVER), I felt like […]
Love Under the Microscope by Emi Leon
Queen B’s Decree: Love Under the Microscope really felt like a traditional rom com, with Zelda and Parker on opposing sides, but coming together for a common goal. It was filled with witty banter and zany and ridiculous situations. Did I find it funny and humorous? Yes. Did it feel over the top and that […]
At First Spite by Olivia Dade
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put this one down; I couldn’t stop gushing about it to my friends. The set-up is slightly complicated: Athena is engaged to Johnny. Athena meets Johnny’s older brother, Matthew, for the first time at their engagement party—which leads to a “moment.” Fast forward and Johnny dumps Athena a week before […]
The Love Wager by Lynn Painter
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve determined that I am 100% into Lynn Painter’s humor. She just makes me laugh. Hallie and Jack have one hot night after his sister’s wedding and then they assume they’ll never see each other again. Until they find each other on a dating app and start talking—and becoming best friends. They […]
Fancy Meeting You Here by Julie Tieu
Queen B’s Decree: Fancy Meeting You Here was a light and cute Rom Com. Elise is a florist, struggling to keep her studio alive, while simultaneously providing flowers for her three best friends weddings (all in the same time frame). Elise was a little bit complicated; as if she struggled with knowing her own self-worth. […]
My Favorite Kidnapper by Melanie Moreland
Queen B’s Decree: My Favorite Kidnapper was just so fun. Dante sees Brianna at his goddaughter’s wedding, and from then on, he’s obsessed. A little flirting, a little kidnapping, it’s all in good fun. Brianna and Dante have instant sparks, and despite how infuriating Dante is to her, Bri just can’t resist him. Their banter […]
A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting
Queen B’s Decree: As a self-proclaimed cat lady, I HAD to read A Love Catastrophe about a fellow cat lady. Sadly, it fell a little short for me. Kitty was a hard character to take seriously. She’s unprofessional (who talks to a cat in the middle of a business phone call?), awkward, and over-the-top. She […]
Her Fixer Upper by Emily Kerr
Queen B’s Decree: Her Fixer Upper was cute and sweet and relatively predictable. Despite the predictability, it was still pretty enjoyable. Freya was a little neurotic and sometimes I found it hard to understand her reactions, but Charlie was a bit nonchalant for my tastes. But kudos to both of them, there is no way […]
Pity Date by Whitney Dineen
Queen B’s Decree: Pity Date is by a new-to-me author and the cover sold me immediately. But I struggled initially. Faith has just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her, and she is really emotional about it. Maybe I’m heartless, but some of her crying jags were too much for me. I.E., seeing […]
