Queen B’s Decree: This should be in the dictionary for “enemies-to-lovers” trope. Hatfield and McCoy. Romeo and Juliet. Add to that Adler and Todd. Since birth, Maggie Todd and Tate Adler have hated each others families…for unknown reasons. It started with their grandfathers and has been passed down through each generation, continuing with Maggie and […]
Queen B’s Decree: There’s so much I want to say, but I can’t without spoiling everything. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions and angst. Lots of flashbacks and dark moments, yet filled with just enough hope and love to keep And I Love You the Most from being too dark. I knew going into […]
Queen B’s Decree: Mafia is not one of my favorite tropes. Sure, I’ve seen the Sopranos multiple times, but in my love stories? Eh. But when I saw my all time love Siobhan Davis was writing a mafia romance…well, maybe I’ll give that trope another try. Ben is a mafia hero I can get behind. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Call You Mine went in a totally different direction than I was expecting. So my complaint from the first book in the series, Loved You Once, was that each brother was a different trope so it felt overdone. Well, we get a bonus trope in Beacon’s story. This is what my major […]
Queen B’s Decree: Make Up Break Up is an interesting enemies-to-lovers concept. Annika Dev and Hudson Craft spend one week in Vegas at a conference and connect and discuss their app ideas…and more naked things. Fast forward to now and they have competing apps: one for falling in love and making up and another that […]
Queen B’s Decree: Turns out this is not a duet, it has instead been extended into a trilogy. Should have realized when I got to 80ish % and so much was still unresolved. The lust/love story between Winston and Ash continues. Winston is still clinging to this as a business transaction while Ash keeps forcing […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Sweetest Fix was the sweetest fix I needed to help my book slump. Reese raced to NYC to audition with an exclusive dancer, but when her bus breaks down and she misses it, she decides to attempt to sweet talk the dancer’s son, Leo, into getting a re-audition. But once she […]
Queen B’s Decree: Big Bad Wolf was…weird. It suffers a bit from “first in a series” syndrome, where the world building overshadows the romance. Neha meets Joe when she’s working as part of his defense team in his murder case. There is some immediate insta-lust on both sides. And for about 40% of the book, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Forevermore is the prequel and introduction to Everlast. We meet Lincoln and Molly as children and get an insight into how their relationship adjusts and changes as they age. But there was never any doubt that they were each other’s soulmate. It was short and sweet, yet is leaving me with some […]
Queen B’s Decree: In December 2020 (the year that must not be named), the Oprah Magazine released a list of their best romance novels for the year. Queen J and I had both read some, heard of others, and owned a few (bought and unread, of course) from the list, so we decided to read […]
