The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst
Queen B’s Decree: I loved both The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse, so I immediately snagged this one, even though I knew it was a standalone. It definitely has a different vibe. Our teenage FMC, Calisa, is spending the summer helping out at her great-aunt’s inn—all to avoid the boyfriend that cheated on her and […]
Live Love Lasso by Hazel Mack
Queen B’s Decree: I’m always interested in a monster romance, and add in fated mates? I’m there. Live Love Lasso was a combination: I know this may a weird thing for me to be saying, but I think there was just too much spice compared to relationship development. They just jump right into spicy stuff […]

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
Queen B’s Decree: I love a Beauty and the Beast retelling, so I was all in on A Curse So Dark and Lonely. For a young adult book, this was surprisingly dark. You’ve got: human trafficking, kidnapping, the Prince turning into a dangerous monster (with a very high kill count), terminal illness. You may be […]
It Seemed Like a Good Idea by Lauren Blakely
The Crowned by SK Horton

I felt for our characters, it was like none of them could ever catch a break. As soon as one roadblock was eliminated, something else would […]
Willing Prey by Allie Oleander
Queen B’s Decree: Before I read this book, I was pretty sure I only liked the primal play kink when it occurred in monster or alien romance. I mean, it’s one thing for a werewolf chasing me down ✨animal instincts✨ and quite another for an insurance agent to chase me. After reading Willing Prey, I […]
Cruel Savior by Lilith Vincent
Queen B’s Decree: One of the things that makes me feral about Lilith Vincent’s books is how over the top her MMCs are. Possessive, protective, obsessive, all of the -ives. And no matter what, they can’t help but be sweet to their women. Adora and Vincenzo have both had some troubled pasts. Adora has been […]
