Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen
Queen B’s Decree: Good as Gold revisits my favorite small town in Vermont and the Rossi family. But…this one definitely had some second chance trope vibes. Matteo and Leila were best friends as teenagers but Matteo moved away as soon as possible and never really came back. Matteo comes back to his brother’s wedding after […]
Her Fixer Upper by Emily Kerr
Queen B’s Decree: Her Fixer Upper was cute and sweet and relatively predictable. Despite the predictability, it was still pretty enjoyable. Freya was a little neurotic and sometimes I found it hard to understand her reactions, but Charlie was a bit nonchalant for my tastes. But kudos to both of them, there is no way […]
Not Here to Stay Friends by Kaitlyn Hill
The Way of Us by Claudia Burgoa
Queen B’s Decree: Talk about some angst. The Way of Us features Heath and his longterm BFF, Atzi. Heath, of course, has been in love with her for years but has never told or shown her his feelings. And frankly, both of them were so messed up from traumatic events from their respective childhoods, telling […]
Pride & Puppies by Lizzie Shane
Queen B’s Decree: I freely admit: I did not finish Pride & Puppies. I didn’t find either main characters likable, especially Charlotte, our heroine. She’s grown up idealizing romantic relationships (a la Jane Austen) yet doesn’t seem to understand why she’s had so many bad relationships. She’s decided to focus on a puppy and no […]
Bayou With Benefits by Erin Nicholas
Queen B’s Decree: Bayou With Benefits had all the things in an Erin Nicholas story that I love. Great characterizations, hot chemistry, realistic issues, and communication. Andre and Ami have been ignoring their connection for a while, but that all goes out the window after Ami is seriously injured in an accident. I love their […]
Protective Heart by Brighton Walsh
Queen B’s Decree: I first fell in love with Starlight Cove in Defiant Heart, with my favorite enemies-to-lovers trope. Protective Heart is friends-to-lovers, and that doesn’t always work for me. But oh, it SOOOO did here. Grumpy/sunshine here I come! Beck is such a grump and he simps so hard for Everly. They’ve been friends […]
Doing Taboo Things by Alex Grayson
Queen B’s Decree: Alex Grayson has done it again with Doing Taboo Things. Give us a hot, little read with a good plot and character development. Explosive chemistry, great communication, and low angst, Doing Taboo Things was a sexy and fun read. I loved all three main characters and I felt like despite the short […]
