Queen B’s Decree: I lived for the banter in Beg, Borrow, or Steal. Emily and Jack have been rivals for YEARS and it’s like they don’t know how to live without each other, even if all they do is bicker. As an eldest sibling, Emily was a little too relatable at times. When you’ve been […]
Queen B’s Decree: I honestly couldn’t put this one down. Enemies-to-lovers where they both actually hate each other, but damn, the chemistry can’t be denied? Yes, sir, I’ll take some more. I loved the back and forth between Callum and Aida. Their hate for each other led to some dangerous (and somehow hilarious) antics but […]
Queen B’s Decree: This one had the best tropes: city girl x cowboy, enemies-to-lovers, he falls first. Mollie was a hard character to like at first. She was such a spoiled rich girl. But…grief and regret are immersive emotions, I understand how she struggled with her distant relationship with her late dad. And she showed […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love an enemies-to-lovers trope, and Gus really delivered on the “asshole MMC that becomes a softy.” Teddy/Theodora is the “fixer;” she takes care of everyone, chips in and helps, but who is there to take care of her? And Gus is the same, never wanting to ask for help. It really […]
Queen B’s Decree: If you ever wondered how the son of Santa finds his own Mrs. Claus, look no further than Elfemies to Lovers. The enemies-to-lovers trope is pretty mild—the man buys the last of her favorite muffin and that’s all the “hate” there is—but there is a lot of cutesy-ness. Filled with holiday puns, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I never thought I’d be smiling so much during a creepy monster story, but Dating and Dismemberment was delightful. Darla is the Duchess of Death and haunts the camp near her forest, when she develops some ennui, feeling bored with hunting humans. After a sabbatical, a new monster is in town to […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have to admit, I didn’t adore this one as much as I did its predecessor Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend. So much of the story was basically a long miscommunication that could have easily been prevented had any of the characters just talked?? But of course, it’s Victorian England—we […]
Queen B’s Decree: Pardon My Frenchie was an adorable and easy read. With a bit of an enemies-to-lovers vibe at the beginning, sparks fly between Ashanti and Thad when they butt heads over the care of his grandmother’s dog, Puddin’. But after a video of her dog Duchess and his now dog Puddin’ snuggling goes […]
Queen B’s Decree: Forgotten Ashes has this nostalgic feel for me. Shifters, magical mystery, and a cliffhanger that leaves me wanting more. It’s like the author can read my mind and know all my favorite things (spoiler alert: she can). Briar is such a strong FMC. She’s harboring a secret, one that could be the […]
Queen B’s Decree: This book…was really, really good. Well-fleshed world building that doesn’t overwhelm you, with an Irish folklore feel, you feel immersed from page one. The prose flows from the page so lyrically, it’s almost like I’m hearing a verbal tale, passed down through generations. But what really shines is the characters. Everyone is […]
