On the lookout for a new Irish author to try ? Love Family Saga's ?
Review: Three Women - Marita Conlon-McKenna - February 2012
As readers know, I love book covers and blurbs, they are the two things that I will look for if I have never read anything by the author before . If it is an author I've read and enjoyed, I will pick it up regardless.  When I was doing my practicum at Tauranga Girls College, I saw this book come through and I jotted the title down in my books to read and then when I was back at work in Greerton , it came through in the new books bin. 
I grabbed it and started reading it, I could not put it down and I found it quite a quick read. Three Women as the title suggests tells us the journey of three women that one life changing decision will connect them all together, a decision that was made over 20years ago. 
Erin has always known she was adopted and now on her 26th birthday, she yearns to find out all about her biological parents, what they were like and why she was adopted out. She has grown up with a wonderful family - parents Nina and Tom , and a brother Jack. However, she feels that her life is at a standstill and in order to move forth , she must discover her past. All Erin has is a birth certificate with a name Kate ...... , so she makes a trip to the adoption agency and from then on , she learns her mother's name Kate Cassidy.
Kate is a happily married women of 25yrs and has done everything in her power to keep Erin's birth a secret from her husband and three children. What happens when Erin comes back into Kate's life and she is forced to share the secret of Erin's birth - one she has been harbouring inside for 26yrs. Will her husband and family feel betrayed or will Kate realise just how lucky she is with her family ?
Nina is Erin's adopted mother and has been dreading this day ever since Erin arrived in her arms, now that Erin has found Kate . Will Erin feel the same way about Nina or will her job as a mother be resigned to the "other woman" ? What happens though when it looks like Tom might be having an affair , with the added pressure will Nina find herself in a dire strait and Erin torn between Nina and Kate ?

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
