Queen B’s Decree: The Night Before Grumpmas was hilarious and light, it felt like the perfect winter read. Jacob was SO grumpy, he even got mad at a candle’s scent. He really was the Grinch. You could tell that his grumpiness was hiding soft emotions inside, ones that he didn’t want to believe existed. And […]
Queen B’s Decree: My Favorite Boss was fun. Grumpy x sunshine, boss x employee, age gap—all fun tropes. Alexander tries to be this ice king at work, but he’s never had an assistant like Magnolia before. I just had so much fun reading this one. Full of witty banter, ridiculous hijinks, sexual chemistry, and a […]
Queen B’s Decree: King of Nothing was a little different from a normal ARR story. No major suspense, stalker, or bad guy attacking. Just a glorious love story. Elora and Roman are two people who don’t have much in common, except both is grieving for the loss of a loved one. And it’s in their […]
Queen B’s Decree: Heartless is full of tropes: age gap, grumpy/sunshine, single dad, small town, cowboys, boss/nanny. Cade was a grump to the extreme, and Willa is free spirit, who never takes things too seriously. Luke is Cade’s adorable son, and he really stole the show. I’m finding that I don’t have too much to […]
Queen B’s Decree: It has been years since I last read a Mariana Zapata slow burn. Y-E-A-R-S. Her books are just so intimidating for me. All the waiting! All Rhodes Lead Here hooked me from the start. Immediately Rhodes is the grump to the sunshine, Aurora. He’s her reluctant landlord, after his son rented out […]
Queen B’s Decree: While yes, sometimes these billionaire stories become a little predictable, the ones from J.S. Scott are always enjoyable. Billionaire Unreachable: Wyatt features one of my favorite tropes: grumpy & sunshine. Wyatt is a grumpy older brother that believes he’s destined to be alone. Shelby is the sunshine; she’s doing her best to […]
Queen B’s Decree: As a self-proclaimed cat lady, I HAD to read A Love Catastrophe about a fellow cat lady. Sadly, it fell a little short for me. Kitty was a hard character to take seriously. She’s unprofessional (who talks to a cat in the middle of a business phone call?), awkward, and over-the-top. She […]
Queen B’s Decree: Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner had a cute concept. Two flatmates, drunk one evening, recreate the lift from Dirty Dancing and post it on social media. After a ton of views, they decide to continue recreating romcom moments. Harry moves into Sally’s flat after he breaks up with his cheating girlfriend. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I actually didn’t really enjoy the FMC, Hallie. She just seemed like a bit of a mess (which fits with the series title, I suppose)—she’s floundering in her job after her grandmother passed, she’s still stuck on this crush she’s had since she was 14, and she’s still a virgin…at nearly 30. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I first fell in love with Starlight Cove in Defiant Heart, with my favorite enemies-to-lovers trope. Protective Heart is friends-to-lovers, and that doesn’t always work for me. But oh, it SOOOO did here. Grumpy/sunshine here I come! Beck is such a grump and he simps so hard for Everly. They’ve been friends […]
