Review: Ghosts of Romance Past - Laura Briggs - October 2011
Are you a fan of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol ? Watched over and over again the Matthew McCounaghey movie Ghost's of Girlfriend's Past ? I can admit that I have and I just loved the Ghosts of storyline, it's one of my all-time favourites. Just think, how awesome it would be to be visited by people from your past ? When this book came up for review, I knew I just had to read it and I would love it to pieces -no doubt about that and I'm happy to say that Laura did a wonderful job in living up to the renditions of the Ghosts Tale.
In Ghost's of Romance Past, we meet Alice - she is a illustrator working for a Children's book company and her artistic partner is Jamie - little does everybody else realise was that these two were engaged to marry twelve years ago but Alice broke it off. Now Alice and her partner Warren who have been together for two years are about to become engaged and be married when Alice finally says YES. On her way to the bathroom, just after Warren asked her , she falls down and recieves a bump to her head but the bump will become the least of her problems when she starts seeing ghosts or ghostly images of her past. The first is of her Aunt Phil, who Alice had thought had been single all her life only to find that she had a love of her life who slipped away , next is her grandmother Rose who seemed happy but when she discovers her grandmother's journal it tells a different tale and last but not least her great-grandmother and her tale of a love triangle.
Who is Alice's soulmate is it Warren - her current beau or Jamie - the guy she let slip out of her hands twelve years ago and has she been given a second chance at love?
Find out in this awesome romantic rendition of a Christmas Carol.

    I love A Christmas Carol- it is a holiday favorite and a story I can come back to time and time again. I have never seen Ghosts of Girlfriends Past- but it looked good. This book sounds interesting and I bet it will give me a lot to think about! Thanks for sharing!

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...

  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...
