Review: Like Sweet Potato Pie - Southern Fried Sushi Book #2 - Jennifer Rogers Spinola - March 2012
Once working a great job writing in Japan, Shiloh was living the fast life of work and fun times until one day she was accused of plagarism and fired, around the same time her mother passed away and Shiloh inherited her house in Staunton, Virginia. Seeing this as an opportunity to escape, Shiloh high-tails to Staunton with plans to re-vamp the house and sell it and then restart her former life in Japan. However, Shiloh being away for the past seven years is about to get a culture shock as she goes from city-life to redneckville as where on earth in Staunton will she find Sushi and if the food is anything like it used to be it will definitely be deep fried . Can Shiloh go about her business and start renovating the house for sale before finding herself attached to someone - Adam in Staunton , a member of the local church ? As Shiloh struggles between coming to do what she planned - selling the house and hightailing it out of there and feeling that maybe she was supposed to be here and settle down , it seems her troubles continue with her half-sister Ashley contesting that half of the profits from the house are hers and she's willing to do anything even if it means playing dirty to get her hands on the money.
The only downside about Like Sweet Potato Pie was that in parts the novel was a tad slow , which if you were reading for pleasure and like your books fast-paced may put you off finishing the novel.
A fun novel that has Shiloh teaching us that when things like relationships, friendships and families get too hot to handle , we need to take a step back and look at it Like Sweet Potato Pie on a warm day.

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
