Queen B’s Decree: Only Between Us had all the things I liked.
A meet-cute that goes badly so they are enemies-ish, but they need to fake date, yet they have so much chemistry, with all the banter, and true emotional connection and vulnerability, and tragic back stories, thus I just ate this one up.
Brooks was so down bad for Siena, I just can never resist a hero that is obsessed with his heroine. His persistence and caring just broke down her protective walls. and I can’t blame her—I’d have given in too. Plus the sexual tension and chemistry between them was so hot and spicy, it just makes sense to give in.
Siena’s history is rough, and the heart to heart she had with her mom? Brought me to full on ugly crying tears. Ugh, so beautiful and loving and I just want them all the have the happiest lives.
I did listen to this one as audio and I think that helped me feel immersed. Mia Barron and Tim Paige hit it out of the park and I’ll be sure to look for more of their work!
