Unleashed (A Sydney Rye Novel)
Review: Unleashed - Emily Kimelman Gilvey- 2011
Have you ever had eveything going for you and then in a flash - just like that lost everything? In a situation like this ,there are two options A) you can cry , have a self-pity party and get depressed or B) you can re-invent yourself into somebody new and exciting. For Joy H, the worst day of her life ended up changing her whole outlook. One day Joy had a boyfriend named Marcus ,a job working in a Coffee Shop for her boss Brad. All in the same day , she was dumped by her boyfriend and fired by her boss. So Joy, went out and did the most outrageous thing - she bought the biggest dog she could find from the local pound and named him Blue. Joy's life starts to take a turn as her neighbour Nona puts Joy onto a job walking dogs and so begins a new step in Joy's life. It just starts off as a menial job but one morning Joy stubles across a dead body and the identity of the man is revealed as one of her dog-walking clients. Soon we read as Joy is tangled up with the mystery of solving the death of her client and with the help of a detective gone rogue - Joy decides it's time to completely re-invent herself as Dog walking Viligiante "Sydney Rye".
Can Joy or should I now call her Sydney Rye solve the crime and find out who is in the business of killing off her dog-owning client or will she find herself in a pile of doggie-doo way over her head ?
Find out in Unleashed by Emily Kimelman Gilvey, a novel of unleashing our inner selves when the going gets tough and the tough gets going.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
