Are you a sweet-tooth ? Wanting a lovely story to sweeten your tastes ?
Review: Grace's Gold - Sweet Treats Series #1 - Mary Manners - August 2011
"For where your treasure is , there your heart will be also - Luke 12v34"
Ever had the thought cross your mind , what if ? Ever had a past love that you have always wondered whether if they came back into your life, you would go with them ? Somebody that has felt like a soul mate , been there with you through the easy and the hard times ?.
For Grace Spencer  , that somebody is Brent Peterson - her best friend since Kindergarten . In High school, Brent nearly told Grace how it felt but he was beaten to it by Dan Spencer - the quarterback and school hunk.  Dan and Grace married , breaking and hurting Brent. Now three years later , Dan has died in an accident and Brent is back in town with the desire to win Grace's heart. He has already won the heart of her son Adam. As the story goes on , we see Grace toss and turn with confusion about her feelings with Brent and is she ready to be over Dan and move on , all is her heart still with her dead husband ? This is a short and sweet novel and not just in the fact that the setting is a delicious bakery called Sweet Treats but the fact that it is a sweet romance between two close friends and the ability to overcome all the obstacles that have been in their path for the past twenty plus years :). Who Knows what might be Grace's Christmas present next year and what exactly is Grace's Gold ?

    Enjoyed reading this review. I haven't read any of Mary Manners' Sweet Treats stories yet, but I'm sure they're all amazing, based on others of her books that I HAVE read. Wonderful author!

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. 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

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
