Review: Between Mom and Jo - Julie Anne Peters - December 2007
Are you a fan of the LGBT books ? Ones that target the area of Gay fiction ? As I like reading books that are seen as Edgy content and out the box , I don't mind it as who am I too judge what an author wants to write about and I also on the other hand actually find books like this interesting to read. One of my favourite authors in this area is Julie Anne Peters as her books are real and you can sit back and imagine the situations and events unfolding before your eyes. All of her books have also had their covers redone and for those who have seen the TV Show "The Lying Game" - doesn't the main character Nicholas on the front cover look like Thayer from The Lying Game.
In Between Mom and Jo by Julie Anne Peters we are taken into the world of Nicholas and his two moms Erin and Jo. Erin was his birth mum and Jo -his other mum -the one he always felt a strong connection with. The story goes through his life up till the age of 14-15yrs when Jo and Erin decide to split up after being together for most of Nicholas's life. His mum has meet someone else and it's now Hello Kerri, Goodbye Jo. Now Nicholas is torn between a decision that could change his life as though he is ultimately Erin's son since Jo never adopted him - he wants to live with Jo.
What will happen when Nicholas is forced to choose between his Mom and Jo ? Can they work things out or will he be forced to wallow in misery ?
Find out all this and more in Julie Anne Peter's novel "Between Mom and Jo".

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...
