Are you a fan of Jane Austen Fiction and love reading her renditions ?
 
Review: Sass and Serendipity - Jennifer Ziegler - July 2011
Is Jane Austen's book Sense and Sensibility your favourite pick ? Do you love the story of the Dashwood Sisters ? For me personally, I have always held a torch to the different renditions of the Austen tales more so than probably the originals though that is not to say I haven't read them all as they sit nicely on my bookshelf in the new Twilight Inspired covers. 
Sass and Serendipity goes into the world of the Rivera family , where Mum - Liz has just seperated from her husband and works long hours , Oldest daughter Gabby who just wants to graduate and go to a great college and get the hell out of their smalltown and youngest Daphne who is all about fairy-tales and true love and all the gooey irresponsible things that come with it. With tight finances, Gabby has been working long hours at her job at the Cinemas and helping her mum out financially whilst Daphne who is supposed to be getting a job is flouncing around trying to get Luke - the new school hottie to date her. When troubles strike and their financial situation starts to go down the toilet so to speak, it looks like they might have to move and sell what they can. In a chance meeting though, it seems that their saviours might come in the form of the Applewhites . For Liz and Daphne this is the solution to all their problems but for Gabby, this is a disaster as a few years ago she fell head over heels for a guy who then died in a car accident , in the car and who survived was none other than Preston Applewhite. Can Gabby get a second chance at love and will her family start to be back on top again or is living at the Applewhites a waiting for disaster to strike moment ?
A great rendition of Sense and Sensibility and for those who are movie types , why not check out Material Girls , From Prada to Nada and Scents and Sensibilities which are all renditions of the Jane Austen tale.

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
