Queen B’s Decree: Pardon My Frenchie was an adorable and easy read. With a bit of an enemies-to-lovers vibe at the beginning, sparks fly between Ashanti and Thad when they butt heads over the care of his grandmother’s dog, Puddin’. But after a video of her dog Duchess and his now dog Puddin’ snuggling goes […]
Queen B’s Decree: I read the Lonesome Dove series as an impressionable college freshman and I was forever changed. The Devil’s Backbone really brought me back to that feeling. It’s a slow burn romance, yes, but it felt more like a true western. A horse sidekick (with an almost spiritual connection with Cass), a revenge […]
Queen B’s Decree: This series was like crack to me. I read the entire first three books in less than 24 hours. Including sleep! I don’t know what it is about this series, but I am totally hooked. A snarky but still likable FMC, different magical beings, academy setting, a super kick-ass pet, angsty folks […]
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: Dragonfly really hit the sweet spot for me. Cash is our grumpy gargoyle, and even though he is literally made of stone, he’s essentially a marshmallow on the inside. He’s so protective of Daphne, I can’t even. Dragonfly had so many of my favorite tropes: fated mates, found family, slow burn. ALL […]
Queen B’s Decree: Ruthless Reign went in a way I never could have expected. I found myself hooked after the first couple chapter. Oliver is a recently fired actor, who has been hired as a replacement for Prince Roman, for reasons we never really get told of. Princess Lucille has been married to Roman for […]
Queen B’s Decree: I fell for Peter immediately. The moment he said his mother used to call him a “champion grudge holder” I knew I was smitten. He was just so socially awkward and adorbable! His relationship with Maria is definitely a slow burn, which is impressive since they are in the middle of a […]
Queen B’s Decree: The was maybe the first historical romance I’ve ever read that featured BIPOC, so that was refreshing. Our Hero is Graham, information collector and parkour-enthusiast of the Wynchesters. And our Heroine is Kuni, a lady-in-waiting to the Balcovian Princess, working to prove herself worthy of becoming a King’s guard. They stumble upon […]
Queen B’s Decree: Smith is the reason that I now go by “Forearm Porn Enthusiast.” He’s just that good. Protector’s Promise is a fantastic addition to the Heat Haven series, and I loved that it was a little different from the others. Cami—aka, pop star Deja Fox—needs a new bodyguard and Smith is the lucky […]
Queen B’s Decree: If you recall, I did not finish book #1 in this series, When Sparks Fly. So naturally, I was a little skeptical about Starry-Eyed Love. Well, I am happy to announce that all my fears were for naught—Starry-Eyed Love won me over. This was a bit of a slow burn. London and […]
