Review: Ambitious - A Premiere Novel - Monica McKayhan- August 2011
As a fan of all those Dancing Flicks, the ones where they audition and then they don't get in and then along the way something happens and they are given a second shot and make it . I love them from Step Up trilogy to Centre Stage Duo to Make it Happen and Burlesque. Ambitious read a bit between Britannia High, Step Up and Fame. In Ambitious we meet Mari aka Marisol, her passion since she could remember was dancing her Mexican-American butt off , she lives for it and when she's offered the chance to audition for Premiere High - a School of Music, Arts, Dance - her dream school - she jumps at it but of course, theres a few things she has to do first. The first is to persuade her parents to let her audition. However, as we all know dreams can come with a price tag attached and though it may not be monetary it can make you lose and risk everything that you have ever dreamed off. For Mari, the pricetag is new hottie Drew and the goal of getting him to see her more than just a casual friend, this won't be an easy task as Drew as his eyes set on his goals of playing Basketball and winning a scholarship which would be his free ride to College or as we say in New Zealand -University. When Mari starts to obsess over winning Drew , we read as everything else starts to take second best in her life and soon she is so consumed about Drew that she doesn't realise everything else is being pushed further and further away.
Will she realise what's happened before it's too late or has her obsession with Drew destroyed her one goal ?Find out what can happen when Love and Lust takes over. It is interesting this though as I found with my studies , it's quite difficult having a guy around as your'e studies, work etc tends to get pushed to the backburner lol.

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
