As we continue through the month of May and in turn celebrate International Chick Lit Month, I bring to you an oldie but a goodie book I read when I was first discovering the world of Chick Lit Books.
Review: Wish You Were Here - Phillipa Ashley- 2011
I Paula Phillips am a self-proclaimed lover of Chick Lit Books and I adore the books published by the company "Little Black Dress" for three simple reasons. They are easy-to-read , the stories are romantic and can keep you on edge as you know the way you want it to turn out but everytime you turn the page thinking this will be the moment something else happens and you sit there going will they ever find the right moment and when they do find that perfect moment , it's a special moment. The third reason is that I am a happily ever after type girl and am a romantic at heart. 
In Wish You Were Here by Phillipa Ashley , we meet Beth Allen and Jack.  Eight years ago, Beth and Jack fell in love and had a whirlwind romance, it was perfect until Jack of course asked her to marry him , Beth said Yes and then Jack vanished leaving her confused and heartbroken. Fast forward, eight years Jack is CEO of BigOutdoors and Beth now has a MBA in Business and looking for a job, so that she can help support her family. When a job opens up at BigOutdoors, Beth applies unbeknownst that Jack is in charge and will be her boss. For eight long years, Beth has planned in her head what she would say to Jack, will she get the chance or will the job be too much of an opportunity for her to lose ? 
Beth has a long term partner Marcus, but it seems that the pair aren't well suited and then Jack has a on/off girlfriend with the editor of Voyages magazine, when a work-trip to Corsica arises and Beth and Jack find themselves together will this be the chance they need to rekindle their relationship and for Beth to finally unravel the truth and receive the answers on why Jack stood her up ?
Has Beth and Jack been given a second chance at love or will their current relationship statuses stand in their way ?
Lovers of Sophie Kinsella's book "Can You Keep a Secret ?" will enjoy Wish You Were Here.

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
