Queen B’s Decree: You know, second chance trope can be dicey with me. Usually a miscommunication, or one character makes all the decisions for the couple. But Paisley…somehow Paisley wrote it in a way that it made sense and I couldn’t stop reading. Grief is a major theme for this entire series, and it’s done […]
Queen B’s Decree: Holidating is a collection of three different stories: Boyfriend, Blonde Date, and Crossroads. Only Crossroads is new to me, so this review will focus on it. Side note—Boyfriend was wonderful so do not skip it! Crossroads is one of those stories where it’s consistently the “right person, wrong time” trope. Damien and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a marriage of convenience trope—I love watching the characters fall, despite their intentions. Hate the One You’re With also had a second chance romance feel. You get to see how Em and Caleb began and fell for each other…then how they disastrously part. And naturally…it’s all a big misunderstanding. If […]
Queen B’s Decree: The dreaded second chance trope is prevalent in Billionaire Unforgettable, but it’s done so well. Tanner and Hannah actually communicate (🙌🏻HALLELUJAH🙌🏻) and while I always will grieve the time apart, it really felt like they grew to be better people. With relatively low stakes, Billionaire Unforgettable was mostly a story of two […]
Queen B’s Decree: This may be my favorite of Sarah’s books. It’s got everything I love. The Marriage Hex was hilarious (can I get an entire book from Thorin’s POV plz), sexy, fun, and with enough mystery or suspense to keep you hooked. The characters are all so well-written, I got so invested in attaining […]
Queen B’s Decree: Rebel Heart is the final book in the Starlight Cove series, the final sibling—Levi. I’ve been slightly worried about this one. A second chance trope? With over a decade of separation? It gave me anxiety just thinking about it. But I shouldn’t have worried, Brighton knew how to make it okay for […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Pairing starts from Theo’s point-of-view and immediately begins with a break-up. So yes, the dreaded second chance romance trope is alive and well in this novel. And sometimes I can handle it. I could not this time. Theo and Kit are childhood best friends turned lovers then exes, and they meet […]
Queen B’s Decree: Adam Sass, I believe it’s time for me to read your backlog. This is my second from this author and I want more. Cursed Boys and Broken Hearts is a dreaded second chance romance trope, but I still couldn’t get enough. Grant is an 18 year old queer boy and he’s questioning […]
Queen B’s Decree: It’s becoming a fact that I’ll read anything that S.J. Tilly writes. Case in point: Love, Utley is a second chance trope. And yet…I loved it. Despite their time apart, Maddox and Hannah fit together as if no time had passed. Both were equally obsessed with the other, giving you a “soulmates” […]
Queen B’s Decree: Summer Kind of Love was a relatively light romance. Avery meets up with her childhood best friend, Logan, and they reconnect one summer after nearly two decades apart. Avery suffers from (nearly crippling at times) anxiety, and I thought the way her panic attacks were described was very well done. But, she […]
