Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed the progression in Along Came You. Fern is dealing with the misogyny you sometimes find in male-oriented fields, when out of nowhere, she encounters Elliot at a coffeeshop. Elliot (although he doesn’t admit this to himself until far later) is immediately smitten and does everything he can to help her […]
Queen B’s Decree: Smith is the reason that I now go by “Forearm Porn Enthusiast.” He’s just that good. Protector’s Promise is a fantastic addition to the Heat Haven series, and I loved that it was a little different from the others. Cami—aka, pop star Deja Fox—needs a new bodyguard and Smith is the lucky […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve mentioned it before, but I love the diversity that we’re beginning to see more and more. And realistically, we know there were gay and lesbian relationships back in Regency England, even if everything else portrayed is Jane Austen-esque. I loved how fun The Perks of Loving a Wallflower was. Fun family […]
Queen B’s Decree: Obsessive hero with stalker-like tendencies? Check, please! In Dark Reign, Emerson is called The Collector and is a dark, broody art collector who becomes immediately enamored of innocent artist, Daphne Morelli. Daphne is a daughter of an infamous crime family and just wants to skate by unnoticed and create her art. I […]
Queen B’s Decree: I loved that the heroine in Always Hiding was a beta, not an omega. It felt different to most of the other omegaverse series I’ve read. And after I struggled with book #2s heroine, it was a relief to have a heroine I enjoyed and reminded me why I enjoy this series. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a reverse age gap and Lady Boss did wonderful at it. Our heroine, Penelope, is 12 years older than Kai and used to be his babysitter when she was in high school. He’s now graduated college and worked as her intern—so there’s extra taboo. Boss/employee and age gap. Give all […]
Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed being back in the world of Dillon and Viv, this time years later when their boys are teens. Hold Me Close is less of a romance and more of an extended epilogue. We already knew Dillon and Viv were going to live happily ever after, but I always want to […]
Queen B’s Decree: One thing that has been great about 2022 so far is the emergence of more main stream sapphic and diverse romance. The Romance Recipe features headstrong and micromanaging restaurant owner Amy and her grumpy chef, Sophie. Usually, I am all about a bossy and headstrong heroine. But Amy was too controlling and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have been dying for more of this series. In Of Dreams and Demons, we finally get to see a little bit more of what is happening on Earth through Alistair’s, Rian’s, and Matthieu’s points of view. Side note, I’m learning that Willow Hadley is a fan of multiple POV throughout her […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fantasy is not a genre I often read, so I was hoping that Amethyst Pledge would grab my attention as a YA Fantasy. And I think it would have, except for a mental block I seem to have. Kazari, our heroine, is called to serve the Lady and leaves her home to […]
