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 […]
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: Till There Was You had potential, but I didn’t really vibe with it. Lexi and Jake meet one night at a dive bar where Jake is performing, and they spend one wonderful weekend together. Soon after Jake travels to LA where he is discovered and overnight, he’s a big star. And then […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Queen B’s Decree: I struggled with Almost in Amalfi, I couldn’t relate to either of the main characters. Val and Ray dated in college and became best friends after their break-up. After Val is cheated on, Ray invites her on a trip to Amalfi. It’s during that trip that he hopes their relationship can become […]
Queen B’s Decree: Until I Get You was a book recommended to me by a close friend…so I didn’t even read the blurb before I dived in. Spoiler alert: I was tricked into reading one of my least favorite tropes – second chance romance. And somehow it didn’t bother me. Lochlan is legitimately a crazy, […]
Queen B’s Decree: A not-so-secret thing about me? I don’t like BDSM. Degradation and humiliation just aren’t my thing. But I kept seeing Sweet Thing all over the gram, and it was novella-length, so I tried it. And I don’t know how it happened, but I enjoyed myself? Antony is too mean for me, and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed Kamila Knows Best so I quickly snapped up Jana Goes Wild as soon as I saw it. I should have read the blurb better, because I soon learned it contains the dreaded “second chance” trope. Jana and Anil had a two week fling that ended badly five years ago, but […]
