Review: What a Boy Needs - Book #2 What a Boy Wants Series - Nyrae Dawn - June 2012
I have to say I am one of those people that tend to read series out of order and back to front, normally because for some annoying reason I can't get book #1 first etc. As most of my Phantom Paragrapher readers know, I have decided to go hard at reading my E-reader as I have such a backlog of books and for some reason Book #2 appeared first so readers here is my review of Book #2 in the What a Boy Wants series by Nyrae Dawn.
Thank goodness that this isn't one of those series where you HAVE to read book #1 to catch the drift as from the first page we discover the series is about a group of four friends Jaden, Priscilla, Sebastian and Aspen. Sebastian and Aspen are now dating after an incident that I'm not sure of happened in Book #1 and Priscilla is dating Chris and it seems that Jaden missed his shot with her big time. The book then continues and we read as Jaden has had it hard, while his friends are off with their loving parents, Jaden is having to put up with his crazy ones . In a way, this reminded me of my living situation as though my parents aren't necessarily like Jaden's in a way me and Jaden are in the same boat - financially and all. One of my favourite parts of the book, was when Jaden and his friends took off to New York as I am heading over to the States in December with my friend Nina. What I loved about it was that no matter how useless and awful and unwanted Jaden was made to feel - he had a strong support group of best friends and Sebastian's parents Roger and Courtney loved Jaden as if he was their own son. 
A great read and now I am looking forward to going back to the beginning and catching up with reading Book #1 in the series "What a Boy Wants".

    I love this series.Myrae Dawn always writes the most amazing boys..you just easily fall for them. Jaden's story is so much different than Sebastian's. I cant wait to hear your thoughts on What a Boy Wants.

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
