Check out Abbi Gline's book "Breathe".
Review: Breathe - Abbi Glines - May 2011
One of my favourite things about book blogging and belonging to book groups online and in the world of social networking is that you get to discover new authors , ones that you may never have ventured onto on your own. One of the books recommended to me on a FB group I belong to was Breathe by Abbi Glines and OMG It was an awesome book and I loved it.
If you love the tale of Cinderella or have ever seen those films like Another Cinderella Story or A Cinderella Story : Once Upon a Song , Popstar crossed with Maid in Manhattan but imagining Jennifer Lopez as a teenage girl , then you have Breathe . Breathe follows the tale of Sadie whose mum Jessica is about to have another baby , Jessica though wouldn't be your average mum as she relies on Sadie to help provide for the household ( something that I was semi-familiar with). Sadie, needing a job to help keep the house afloat takes over her mum's job for the summer working as a housemaid for the Stones. The Stones as we are about to discover is the family of teen popstar Jax Stone , at first Sadie is unimpressed by him as Celebrities aren't her style but as the two get to know each other they become an item . However, with celebrities comes paparazzi , pressure and music tours - eventually Jax and Sadie break and this almost kills her. Jax re-appears , but is he home for good ? Can Jax and Sadie rekindle their romance or was it just another Summer fling ?
Breathe by Abbie Glines is definitely a must-read for all those fans like myself whose favourite fairy-tale happens to be Cinderella.


Question Time for the Readers :

Who would you have playing your "Jax Stone" ?
I thought hard about it and though Jax Stone is depicted as a dark-haired in the novel or thats the impression I got, I couldn't help but imagine my Jax Stone as Paul Reid - who used to play Marshall Heywood on Shortland Street and now lives in LA playing in the band Rubicon. Either him or Benji/Joel from Good Charlotte.

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...
