Just Playing for Keeps by Lauren Blakely
Like Romeo Loves Juliet by Kalyn Gensic
Queen B’s Decree: I remembered Porter as a side character in the second book, so I was pretty excited to get his story. Maeve has been called back to her hometown to direct the summer faculty performance of Shakespeare, and she’s back in the orbit of Porter, her brother’s best friend who she grew up […]
Missing in Soho by Holly Stars
Queen B’s Decree: I loved the first book in the series, Murder in the Dressing Room, so I was very down to solve some mysteries with Misty again. And I realized I’m maybe more cautious than I thought, because when Misty (or as Joe) was investigating and doing something perhaps illegal, I sided with Miles […]
Loyal by Cala Riley
Queen B’s Decree: There’s just something about Cala Riley MC books that get me. Just the right amount of steam, relationship development, and suspense to keep you hooked. The biggest trope in this one is a reverse age gap, where our FMC Sami is about 10 years older than our MMC, Loyal. But have no […]
In Pieces by Cleo White
Queen B’s Decree: Cleo White has become one of my favorites when I’m in need a quick age gap trope. I devoured In Pieces. Brooks is our older doctor, who has been treating Delta, a professional snow boarder. And though he battles with his growing feelings for her, he absolutely has what is best for […]
A Stage Set for Villains by Shannon J. Spann
Queen B’s Decree: I have never read a book like this before. The storyline was so enthralling, especially to a woman who has long been obsessed with musical theatre. The magical world was so unique. The idea that “players” or actors have this kind of magic that compels normal humans is such a wild thought. […]
A Collection of DNFs: Volume 13
Ahhhh lucky number 13 (although I might stop numbering these, let’s be real, my mood reading will mean I’ll always have DNFs in my life). And the typical disclaimer: these books didn’t work for me but might be the perfect one for you! 🌺Oxford Blood by Rachael Davis-Featherstone — I wanted to like this one […]
Radiant Exception by AJ Wynn
Queen B’s Decree: For a shorter book, Radiant Exception didn’t shy away from heavier topics: grief, PTSD, and panic attacks. You guys know I love a flawed character, and Vaughn definitely fits the bill. I love that despite him looking like a buff, in control captain of the ship, he’s also stubborn, damaged, and really […]
