Review: Dreaming of Mr. Darcy - Book #2 Austen Addicts Series - Victoria Connelly - January 2012
Life is at a standstill for fledging artist and Jane Austen Addict Kay Ashton. Her mother passed away and now recently , a women she befriended in the resthome Peggy as also gone. Imagine Kay's surprise when she discovers that Peggy had no ties and wasn't a cat person and has left her estate to Kay. Now Kay , has no reason to waste about living an unhappy life. So without further adieu, Kay picks up everything and heads to the seaside coast of Lume Regis. For Jane Austen addicts, Lyme Regis was where Miss Austen brought us Persuasion. When looking at houses Kay, spots an old rundown Bed and Breakfast titled "Wentworth House" and as a true austen fan would she sees this as a sign and purchases it on the spot.  To her excitement , she has landed in Lyme Regis just as they are starting the filming of the movie "Persuasion". With a hop, skip and a jump she is landed smack-dab into the cast of actors/actresses and soon finds herself captivated and head over heels with actor Oli who is playing Captain Wentworth , but hiding around the corner - as quiet as may be is Adam - who represents the Mr. Darcy character type in Book #2. Will Kay end up as Anne Elliott marrying her Captain Wentworth or will she be an Elizabeth Bennett and wander off into the countryside with her Mr. Darcy ?
Another wonderful installment in the Austen Addicts Trilogy by Victoria Connelly and I look forward to reading Book #3.

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.

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.

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...
