Queen B’s Decree: My Saving Grace took the boss/employee and secret/taboo relationship and turned up the angst. We met Grace and Jaxson in A Merry Vested Wedding so I knew going into their story that a breakup was coming. Before that terrible time, the romance between the two was so sweet and adorable. Grace is […]
Queen B’s Decree: Well, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else, right? That’s what Magnolia does when her boyfriend of five years breaks up with her over the phone. She wipes off her tears and gets dressed up and runs into Brody as she’s drinking her sorrows away at […]
Queen B’s Decree: Mafia is not one of my favorite tropes. Sure, I’ve seen the Sopranos multiple times, but in my love stories? Eh. But when I saw my all time love Siobhan Davis was writing a mafia romance…well, maybe I’ll give that trope another try. Ben is a mafia hero I can get behind. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have been waiting for Pierce and Leyla’s story since we first met them in Loved You Once. I had always wondered how they became this divorcing couple, so full of bitterness. And Defying Our Forever gives us their backstory. Pierce and Leyla have an instant connection, but their troubled childhoods (and […]
Queen B’s Decree: Second chance romances is not my favorite trope. I just hate the thought of all that missed time, often due to lack of communication or misunderstandings. But in Love Always, Wild, I felt like the separation between Wild and Jax was so important to both character’s growth. The two met in college, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I hadn’t been looking forward to Semi-Sweet as much as the others in the series. And that’s because it’s of the dreaded “second chance” trope. I should have never doubted Erin Nicholas because Semi-Sweet was so much more than a generic “second chance” romance. Whitney and Cam fell in love while they […]
Queen B’s Decree: Loved You Once was essentially a story with two major plot points. First, we have this strange family dynamic. It almost feels oddly biblical in a sense – the father begets sons upon many. Hayes (our Hero) is the second oldest of this ragtag of brothers from multiple different mothers, and they […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Summer of Us was initially featured as a short story in the Spring Fling anthology. Lincoln and Sunny are both 17 and spending their summer together. Linc’s father is ruthless and abusive; blackmailing and conniving in order to get his way. Lincoln is counting down the minutes until he can access […]
Queen B’s Decree: This one didn’t jive with me. I think it has to do with my inability to forgive fictional characters. I really didn’t believe that Oliver loved Kaitlynn. His actions and decisions never struck me as someone in love. In fact, the more I type here, the more annoyed I am with him. […]
Queen B’s Decree: If you’ve been with us for a while, you probably are already aware of my love of the #Hashtag series. When I saw Cambria Hebert was releasing a new book, I jumped on it. Don’t mind if I do. I opened it up this morning and finished it in one setting. I […]
