As today is a holiday, it's allowed me to catch up on some book reviews as I have been busy studying and working, this semester is nearly over for me :) about four more weeks to go and then it's only two more papers next semester and I am done .
Review: Unexpected Gifts - Joyce Brennan- January 2012
Unexpected Gifts , was a book that until I opened it like most stories I get sent I am not to certain what type of story it will be. Unexpected gifts starts off with the main character Elizabeth getting a phone call from her best friend Jess asking to come and visit. After the year Elizabeth has had, a year filled with pain,hurt and divorce . She jumps at the chance but when she arrives her friend Jess has a proposition for her. Jess's husband Eric has just received a promotion but  it is in Chicago not the small town of Driftwood and Jess has had her shop for sale but has had no takers. Now as a last resort, Jess wants Elizabeth to run her tea shop for a year and if she decides to after that year - it's hers to purchase. Elizabeth, though knows nothing about working in a tea shop as she has spent her life in Real Estate. Can Elizabeth bring in a profit and make the Tea Shop her own ? Elizabeth , still hurting from her divorce doesn't have relationships on her to do list but neither does Morgan Hart. However , what will happen when they both find themselves falling for each other ?
Unexpected Gifts is a story of when life has been keeping you down and then you are chucked a lifeline, seize the opportunity as you may never know what type of Unexpected Gifts it may bring you this season.
In a way this book reminded me of Trish Perry's novel "Tea For Two".

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
