Queen B’s Decree: Ahhh yesssss, it’s been too long since I read a Sarina Bowen hockey romance.
The first half of the book is told in alternating storylines of past and present, and y’all know flashbacks are not my favorite storytelling modus operandi. But there was enough ambiguousness in the present to keep me coming back to the past, needing to know how Chase and Zoe ended up enemies of a sort.
I loved them being forced back into each other’s spaces, yet knowing it was exactly what they needed to communicate and resolve their issues. It was clear to everyone that their chemistry had never gone away, and made me eagerly turn the page for more (metaphorically since I listened as an audiobook).
I felt like the resolution of the miscommunication was a little anticlimactic—but maybe that also makes it more believable? It totally would fit Zoe’s personality to ignore the issue with her mother and just quietly create space and distance.
Overall, I had a great time listening and am so glad to know there will be more books in this hockey universe to come.
