Queen B’s Decree: Ice, Love, & Other Penalties had the classic Claudia Burgoa level of angst. But, as always, she addresses it head on and everyone eventually goes to therapy and learns to communicate. Ty was the star here. He deals with his insecurities and dysfunctional family history, and he doesn’t let Indie push him […]
Queen B’s Decree: I fell in love with Abby’s Boys of Lake Chapel series so I was chomping at the bit to get more of Hunter’s and Greedy’s story. And I basically discovered that Greedy is the most wonderful and can do no wrong and that Hunter…needs therapy. It alternates timelines between the past and […]
Queen B’s Decree: Whenever I read a Claudia Burgoa book, I prepare myself for some angst. Famous Last Words does not skimp on the angst, nor the emotional pain. Seraphina and Brahms were childhood friends-to-lovers until a GIANT secret separates them. It’s only years later they reunite, but Seraphina ain’t down for it. Filled with […]
Queen B’s Decree: Talk about some angst. The Way of Us features Heath and his longterm BFF, Atzi. Heath, of course, has been in love with her for years but has never told or shown her his feelings.

We were chatting about One Pucked Up Pack and she told me her alpha/beta readers were crying while reading. I scoffed on the inside; I don’t cry nearly ever when reading romance. Dear Reader…I should have taken […]
Queen B’s Decree: Say I’m the One was all-consuming. I had nearly forgot how Siobhan Davis can dial up the angst. Whenever I think I’d rather read something easy and light, she hooks me and sucks me into this emotional roller coaster. While SITO is a love triangle of sorts, it doesn’t feel that way. […]
Queen B’s Decree: The angst continues in Autumn Night Whiskey. The love triangle that was unresolved in Tequila Rose continues but this time we finally get Robert’s point of view. But Magnolia was so frustrating to read about. So wishy washy and indecisive. It felt like so much of her identity was tied to which […]
Queen B’s Decree: Pieces of Us felt less like a romance and more like a coming of age story. I was surprised by how much of the story happened while Zeke and Ethan were teenagers. They first meet when the Deckers and the Hades clans find them and push them together. Which is my first […]
