Review: Sly Fox - Book #1 Dani Fox Series - Judge Jeanine Pirro-July 2012
For centuries, the legal system and its workers have been dominated by males , but every now and again a female who is great at her job and can withstand the brutality of men , rise up and join them in the ranks of legal work. This book was well-written in the aspect that the author itself knows very well what it is like for a female in this profession and how hard it is to break through the perspex of the glass ceiling. In Sly Fox, we meet Assistant DA Dani Fox, the only female in this court and she is having to go lengths to prove she is the best and maybe even better than most the males in the office. What happens though when she takes on a case of domestic abuse to court and it ends up in deadly results on not just one occasion with one victim but multiple occassions with multiple victims and all females. Has Dani bitten off more than she can chew and will she end up showing the DA's and legal system that women are only good as secretaries or will she prove them wrong by standing up for what is right and winning the cases ? For me as I do love my mysteries in novels was that the murder cases were a bit too glossed over for my liking and would have preferred it maybe if Judge Jeanine Pirro had wandered into a bit more detail , other than that this was a great first book and I look forward to reading more by this author.  Sly Fox is a great read for those fans of Marcia Clark's and Lisa Scottoline's Bernie Rosato Books.

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
