Queen B’s Decree: Full disclosure—I didn’t finish Sari, Not Sari by Sonya Singh. I couldn’t connect with the main Heroine, Manny.

He’s back home after an injury ends his […]

Queen B’s Decree: To Marry and to Meddle was my favorite of the series, thus far. It contained one of my favorite tropes: fake relationship turns real.
