    Rosebush was awesome! At first I couldn't get into it, but as it progressed, it got better and better. Definitely movie material. ^_^ I still need to read Wherever Nina Lies.

    Phantom,

    I love how you gave us adult and YA titles! How is it that I've never heard of Long Time Coming By Vanessa Miller? Must check that out. Great list. I love the covers for The Miles Between and Shine, and Wherever Nina Lies!

    Thanks for helping me add some new to me books to my wishlist!

    Dang I haven't read any of these, though I really want to read Forbidden and Shine. Cool list! And thanks for adding if they're adult or YA - that helps me decide what to research for future reading!

    The first half of this (SAVE ME) book provided much thought-provoking information on volunteer moms in the school setting. The story was very exciting and moving with every page providing more incentive to keep on reading. The storyline explores our reaction in a time of emergency when one would have to make a split second decision on saving lives.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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.

I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

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...
