Queen B’s Decree: Wish was surprisingly angsty. Almost too angsty for me. Wes and Max grew up so close, and their connection has been clear since they were children. But when Wes’ (and his brother Win, Max’s best friend) parents die when he’s a teenager, Max is made his guardian and that messes with his […]
Queen B’s Decree: I felt a bit of deja vu when reading Truly You, as the beginning mimics the prequel novella Maybe It’s You. So I was a little disappointed to be reading the same information all over again. But once it switched to the new story, it moved quickly. Iksander was a hard character […]
The older I get, the faster time goes by. My final read count was a little more than last year, but pretty similar overall. Another year of minimal rereads, although a couple favorites could be found! This year I narrowed down my choices a little differently. I picked the best read of each month—although I […]
Queen B’s Decree: Cyn was a really amazing heroine. Debts and Diamonds flips back and forth between the past and the present, and the past is used to highlight her interactions with the boys that one day become the Deana-Dhe. Arden, Carrick, and Lorcan essentially bully her and attempt to provoke her into speaking (Cyn […]
Queen B’s Decree: Christmas in Paradise Bay felt like a sneak peak into the future books. We get a little hints and foreshadowing on what will happen to some of the siblings, and revisit the others like they are old friends. It was a cute and short trip back to Paradise Bay and reminded me […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I love an extended epilogue. And Always in San Francisco is essentially that, a collection of vignettes about our favorite SF characters. We revisit Eloise, Tibby, and Madeline and their growing families. There’s moments of hilarity, moments of romance and lust, and moments […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Queen of Quintessence was such a great end to the trilogy. A good mix of suspenseful plot, intense relationship progression, and a bit of magic. Aura and her mates go through the wringer and it feels like they can’t catch a break. They’re getting attacked on both sides and just struggling […]
Queen B’s Decree: Cole & Mistletoe was the epitome of a Hallmark Christmas movie. You’ve got all the important factors! I loved that Sloane and Cole started off on the wrong foot, and yet their romance blossomed quickly. Good level of spice with a complementary amount of relationship progression and growth. Cole & Mistletoe was […]
Queen B’s Decree: Heat Haven Holidays is essentially one of my favorite things ever: extended epilogues. We get to visit all the characters from whole series: Emily, Liv, Cami, and Kelsey. Minimal angst, with a lot of smut, and a whole lot of feelings. Heat Haven Holidays was an extremely satisfying ending to the series. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a good taboo story and Lilith Vincent always delivers. Brutal Conquest was no different. While there is no blood relation, Kristian has been around Zenya as her uncle her whole life. And it stayed family-friendly…but feelings start to change eventually. Honestly Kristian is a giant mess but I still adored […]
