Do you love Australian Fiction ?
Love getting down and dirty with good ol' Aussie Rural Chick Lit/ or as many call it Chook Lit ?
Review: Jilted - Rachael Johns - June 2012
Have you ever thought when you write a review with coloured font that sometimes certain books just scream out a colour and that's what you associate the story with ? For me Jilted screamed out Purple.
I have to say when it comes to Australian Rural fiction, I am in two minds as I have read some really amazing ones like North Star by Karly Lane , The Girl in the Steel Capped Boots by Loretta Hill and then I have also read a few that I just couldn't get into. Jilted by Rachael Johns falls into the first category of AMAZING. I loved it , from the very first page I was hooked and trying to discover what reasons the main character Ellie could have for standing up Flynn when it was obvious she always loved him and readers, I can tell you I never expected anywhere close to the actual reason and it will blow you readers away.  Jilted tells the tale of Ellie , a big-shot Sydney TV Soap star who has returned to her hometown of Hope's Junction to look after her guardian Matilda while she recuperates from a fall. Her visit home is anything but peachy as the whole town remembers the day she stood Flynn Quartermaine - the golden boy of Hope Junction up at the altar. All Ellie wants to do is look after Matilda and return back to her old life. However, as the novel goes along it seems that Hope's Junction still plays a part in Ellie's life and that no matter what happened she never stopped loving and vice versa Flynn. Can Ellie win not only the heart of Flynn back but also the hearts of those in Hope Junction ? What will happen when tragedy strikes in Ellie's life and it seems that there is no-one who will pick up the pieces ? Will the town come together for Ellie's sake or will she discover what it is truly like to be an Outsider ?
Find out in this awesomeness novel "Jilted" by Rachael Johns and I look forward to seeing and reading what she brings out in future times.

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
