Love, Utley by S.J. Tilly
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” […]
Summer Kind of Love by Charlène Boutin
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 […]
Heart on Ice by Calliope Stewart
Queen B’s Decree: Wow, and I thought I was stubborn. I’ve got nothing on Ciara. Ciara’s got all these rules to help prevent a romantic relationship. Really, she will literally run away from a guy who is romantically interested in her for more than sex. Literally. But Leith (and his pack) and Jae-Sun are separately […]
Where the Old Roses Grow by Gracie Gable
Queen B’s Decree: Where the Old Roses Grow is the story of Rose and Jahi, a slow progression from teacher and parent, to friends, and eventually to romantic partners. The book itself is actually a collection of seven novella size stories, kind of like a serial. I found the dialogue to be a little stilted […]
Famous Last Words by Claudia Burgoa
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 […]
Till There Was You by Lindsay Hameroff
To Woo and to Wed by Martha Waters
Queen B’s Decree: To Woo and to Wed is the last in The Regency Vows series and I feel like I’ve been anticipating Sophie and West’s story since the very beginning. West was the adoring, cinnamon roll that I can’t resist. He fell for Sophie hard seven years ago and has never recovered. Sophie…was harder […]
All I Want for Christmas is Utahraptor by Lola Faust
Queen B’s Decree: Yes, I know, this is a conscious choice I made. Our Utahraptor is sentient here (unlike the Triceratops book I read earlier this year) and went to high school with human, Holly. Her long term relationship is not going well, and she runs back into 12 FOOT TALL Rocky when she visits […]
Second Chances in New Port Stephen
Queen B’s Decree: Second Chances in New Port Stephen is a second chance (I mean, it’s literally in the title) romance between a trans man and his high school boyfriend. Eli and Nick haven’t seen each other for about twenty years, and a lot has changed since then. Eli…was annoying. So much that happened could […]
