Today's VBT# is Baroness by Susan May Warren and is on behalf of Litfuse Publicity.
Review: Baroness - Book #2 Daughters of Fortune Series - Susan May Warren - 2012
It seems that novels come and go with themes as a major theme for the past year has been the roaring 1920's , the year of the flappers with The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty , Beautiful days by Anna Godbersen, Vixen by Jillian Lauren and Lillies in the Moonlight by Alison Pittman and of course leading up to the film "The Great Gatsby" which is to be released later this year starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
In Baroness we meet two cousins Lily and Rosie, they are both expected to marry into money and live an extravagant life and to take hold of the family empire which due to some horrible scandals and rumours is starting to crumble. The two girls though have very different dreams , Lily hates the bustling cities of New York and Paris and wishes for the quiet of her old family ranch in Montana , the western scenes in which she can only dream about whilst devouring novels by Zane Grey - a popular Western author even popular in real-life. Rosie on the other hand dreams of being famous , acting on Broadway and seeing her name flashing in lights.  When tragedy strikes the girls and decisions are to be made , will the girls choose their lives of easy pleasures and luxury over the excitement of adventure ? Will the pair accept the sacrifices that will have to be made in order to obtain their dreams even if it means losing the things and people they care about in the process ?
Baroness follows the story of two girls and the lengths that they will take and the measures that they will have to overcome and even sacrifice to get to where they want to be, a somebody in this world.

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...
