Review: Needles and Pearls -Gil McNeil - May 2010

Is getting together with a group of girlfriends and knitting something that sounds like your cup of tea ? If so then Gil McNeil's next installment in the Beach Street Knitting Group "Needles and Pearls" is the perfect light read for you to sit back and enjoy.
It has been a year since the car accident that took the life of Jo's husband Nick , a year since she arrived in the seaside town with her two boys Archie and Jack to take over her grandmother's knitting shop. Over the past year, Jo has made alot of new friends from Movie Star Grace who is now a mother to a cute baby girl Lily , Connie , Ellen and Elsie.
We read as this seems to be the season of new beginnings as announced are two weddings , a new relationship and a bundle of joy.  Jo's friend Ellen has just announced her engagement to Harry whom is nicknamed Dirty Harry and Jo's Gran is getting married again to Reg. It seems that romance is in the air as Jo is about to experience a lovely relationship with the local carpenter Martin , though just as Jo is getting into the groove of dating again, she is in for a big surprise as she finds out she is pregnant to Daniel- a photographer she had a fling with in Venice. Will Jo's baby put a dent in her relationships or will it be a deciding point in which guy she wishes to spend the rest of her life with - well for now .
All this and more fun in Needles and Pearls which will in parts have you chuckling with the author's sense of humour.

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.

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
