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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Queen B’s Decree: I got sucked into Every Shattered Note. Dex has been part of the music scene his whole life, being born into a record label, part of a giant band, and he’s no stranger to the tabloids. So when Aly confuses him with the guitarist she’s hired for the wedding she’s planned, he […]
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put Strange Familiars down. I lived for the banter between Gwendolynne and Harrisford. Harrisford had such “my father, the inventor of the toaster strudel!” energy while Gwen was very Hermione, scholarship student who is the smartest vibes. Their back and forth was the best. And it was so clear to […]
Queen B’s Decree: Devious Prey was such a quick and enjoyable listen. There’s enough world building, suspense, magic, and just that hint of romance that hooks you. Pearl is assisting her aunt as a smuggler when the airship they are on crashes and they are left stranded on an island with the rest of the […]
