Queen B’s Decree: Faking The Shot had a few of my favorite tropes: fake dating, grumpy x sunshine, hockey. Kaden is a great grump. He’s so focused on hockey, and he suffers from anxiety, so he does what he can to protect himself and shuts out everyone but the game. Even his teammates. So after […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Last Guy On Earth is a second chance trope, so I was anxious while starting. Was there a big miscommunication? A dumb mistake? Thankfully this one felt natural. Jethro and Clay were 22 and 24 respectively when they last met, and their break-up was really just them both being young, dumb, […]
Queen B’s Decree: One Shot does not start lightly; you are immediately hit in the gut with overwhelming grief and sorrow. The first few chapters are heartbreaking; the love Laur has for her brother Nick nearly leaps off the page. Laur is a challenging character. She’s dealing with the grief of losing her brother (throw […]
Queen B’s Decree: Wicked Serve is basically the story of what happens when a summer fling reunites and the feelings never went away. Nikolai is expelled and his last chance to play college hockey is by transferring to McKee, the very same college his summer fling, Izzy, attends. And bonus…her brother is the captain of […]
Queen B’s Decree: Ice, Love, & Other Penalties had the classic Claudia Burgoa level of angst. But, as always, she addresses it head on and everyone eventually goes to therapy and learns to communicate. Ty was the star here. He deals with his insecurities and dysfunctional family history, and he doesn’t let Indie push him […]
Queen B’s Decree: I seriously ran to download this one when I saw it was being re-released by Berkley. I had seen it all over the gram when it was indie and it had so many things going for it. Unfortunately, Summer is a real drag. She’s immature, rude, and downright mean at times. I […]
Queen B’s Decree: I recently binge read another of S.J. Tilly’s series so I ran when I saw she had a hockey series too. HOCKEY! Sleet Princess is the last release, but I didn’t feel out of the loop by not reading the previous books in the series. Luke and Natalie meet while attending different […]
Queen B’s Decree: Every time I read a Brighton Walsh book, I think her hero has peaked and none can surpass them. And yet, every book, I get a new book boyfriend. Brady, Beck, Ford, Aiden…and now Chase. Chase and Addison have a lot of history (ten years’ worth!) and I love their interactions. Chase […]
Queen B’s Decree: When my new book club and I met, we looked through top “book Tok books” to find our first read. Icebreaker was on the list and I already owned it so I was pretty excited that I would finally read a book I own. But…it was not to be. Neither main character […]
Queen B’s Decree: Ahhh yes, I am still in my hockey era. I’m Your Guy is the next in the Hockey Guys series, and it was such a sweet slow-burn. Tommaso has recently bought a new house and needs it decorated and furnished ASAP. He runs into Carter and it’s like kismet. They slowly transition […]
