Review : The Other Countess - Eve Edwards -2010

"Romance, Deception And Destiny"

The Other Countess is a book that will have girls and even young women swooning over as we travel back in time to the year 1582, the location: England.
The Other Countess is a tale somewhat similiar to Romeo and Juliet , Kate and Leopold. It is a story that is somewhat passed on as a common plot especially in the day and age of Kings, Queens, Earls and Ladies.
William Lacey is coming up to the age of marriage , as an Earl that is on the downfall due to his father's unwise decisions and choices , he must marry a wealthy women in order to restore his families name and reputation among the royals .
Enter Jane , she is in the running to be married to William - she has everything the title , the money and the looks and all the right upbringing. Though for William his heart is not in it as he longs for someone else - Ellie aka Lady Eleanor Rodriguez of San Jaime. She is just like William , in possession of a title that won't mean much to anyone especially not anyone wanting wealth and all the riches in the world. What she lacks in wealth, she makes up for in spirit as her wittiness and feisty attitude captures the hearts of many in the Queen's Elite Court .
Will , Will make the right choice in whom he marries or will he follow his head and rules over his heart ?

The sequel is to come out on February 3rd 2011 , and is titled "The Queen's Lady".

I loved this book as after watching the most amazing DVD "Letters to Juliet" which I bought off www.mightyape.co.nz . I am in love with the theme of Romeo and Juliet and Lost Love/

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
