Queen B’s Decree: You know, it’s been awhile since I read a Vi Keeland book and Bossman reminded me of why I used to enjoy her books so much. Reese and Chase were both well-written and well-fleshed out characters. Reese was very relatable; I understand her wanting to separate business and pleasure (especially after her […]
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: This one had the best tropes: city girl x cowboy, enemies-to-lovers, he falls first. Mollie was a hard character to like at first. She was such a spoiled rich girl. But…grief and regret are immersive emotions, I understand how she struggled with her distant relationship with her late dad. And she showed […]
Queen B’s Decree: A monster romance where one of the main characters is the Loch Ness Monster? OF COURSE I’m gonna read it. This book was the perfect mix of ridiculousness, hot chemistry, romance, and true emotional depth. Key is in Scotland to spread her father’s ashes (and meet her estranged grandparents for the first […]
Queen B’s Decree: This book had me in a chokehold. I stayed up WAY past my bedtime finishing this one (no ragerts). There was so much I loved about it. I loved the MMC—Wells is obsessive and stalkery, with tons of “touch her and ☠️” vibes. And Ivy, our FMC, ended up being such a […]
Queen B’s Decree: 10 Things I Hate About You was one of my favorite movies as a teenager and The Worst Duke in London is basically that movie…in historical England. Yes, the plot is a little ridiculous—you’re telling me a Duke bare knuckle fights for money?? And the villain is a little cartoonish—but it’s still […]
Queen B’s Decree: I really enjoyed my first read by Josh Petroski, Charm City Killer, and I was definitely happy to hear he’d released another book. Side note: while this is the second, you can read it as a standalone. This one had the same magic as the first. I liked the multiple points-of-view (but […]
Queen B’s Decree: I really resonated with Viola. In my real life career, I am very good at my job—and sometimes that means people perceive me as bitchy, when no one would ever say that if I was a man. So the things Viola goes through (men telling her to smile, boys expecting her to […]
Queen B’s Decree: I got a physical ARC of this as a bonus from my local indie book store last year, so I decided to put it on my “please decrease my physical TBR god please” list for the year. So when my choice for bookclub was randomly chosen, I knew I had to actually […]
Queen B’s Decree: Catbird reads like journal entries from around the time of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, beginning in February 2022. And honestly, after the last few weeks, it felt very timely. I’m not here to debate politics…but the Russian invasion is exceptionally relevant today. Catbird was a much needed reminder that we can’t bury […]
