Queen B’s Decree: Wicked is the Reaper is a gray retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Wicked ‘wins’ the princess, Rowan, and steals her away to his reclusive castle where he locks her in his dungeon. This novella is pretty short, so there isn’t a ton of time for relationship development. But I did still […]
Queen B’s Decree: Bold is the continuation of Sierra and Aodhan’s story, the conclusion of the first book, Demure. At the end of the first, Sierra and Aodhan are separated, soon after Sierra turns from a human to a fae. I loved Sierra’s progression. She doesn’t have Aodhan for the beginning of the story, so […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am completely in love with this series. It’s like a warm hug. Rose and Luc may have been separated for the bulk of this story, but it never feels like it. Both of them are so completely devoted to the other, so sure that they are going to persevere and “beat […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am still so sucked into this series. A Pact of Blood had was more political intrigue than I am used to in romance novels, but it totally works here. Aurelia (the twist ending at book one!) is married to the evil prince after falling in love with the three spare princes. […]
Queen B’s Decree: If you ever wondered how the son of Santa finds his own Mrs. Claus, look no further than Elfemies to Lovers. The enemies-to-lovers trope is pretty mild—the man buys the last of her favorite muffin and that’s all the “hate” there is—but there is a lot of cutesy-ness. Filled with holiday puns, […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Strings of Fate started immediately after the ending The Rebel in Violet, so you definitely need to read the first before diving into this one. With the same narrator as the first, I loved the accent. Again, I felt transported to Rhethos. The story line continues on, with more magic, more […]
Queen B’s Decree: Oh man, I devoured this one. A grumpy old orc who gets paired with a sunshiny young witch? Say less. This series just makes my heart happy. I love the protective Orc men, who will do anything to make their brides happy. And the human/witch women are so capable and just jump […]
Queen B’s Decree: There were a lot of moving parts in The Cavalier with multiple points-of-view. I really enjoyed seeing both sides of the “war,” with Velamir and Natassa slowly understanding there is more happening behind the scenes than they knew about. Velamir was a strong main character; I loved his sense of self and […]
Queen B’s Decree: This story focuses mostly on Deaf of Hard of Hearing boy, Ludik. He’s an orphan after the mountain “ran away” and destroyed his village. On his way to fight the mountain as a young boy, he’s saved and adopted by Heimee, a whisky distiller. Heimee was my favorite character. He was snarky […]
Queen B’s Decree: I felt like this one flew by in a rush, I couldn’t stop reading. Saoirse is the “useless” eldest daughter of the king and queen, a witch without light magic, relegated to working at a bakery in town. Long story short, she meets up with Vane, a darkwing—a being she had been […]
