Looking for a new book to get stuck into ?
Did you love Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire and From Ashes by Molly McAdams?
Get ready for another New Adult to add to your ever-growing reading list:
Review: Taking Chances - Book #1 Taking Chances - Molly McAdams - October 2012
Wow , what is it that makes Molly McAdams books so addictive ? As like From Ashes, that was a book I could not out down , I just had to keep reading it even though certain characters frustrated the heck out of me, Taking Chances was better in the way that only slightly did a few characters annoy me and if not for the OMG twist in the book that I so did not ever in my life see coming, it would have been the one I thought she should have landed with.
Taking Chances tells the story of Harper , an 18yr old who is just starting college. All her life she has been home-schooled on a Marines base and now for the first time in her life , she is free to be her.  Once she arrives at her dorm, she immediately clicks with Bree - her roommate and we are transported to Bree's house where we meet her family and friends.  It is also where Harper will meet the two guys that her heart will ache for - Chase and Brandon. Right throughout the novel , it is almost a competition and a race to see who will win her heart. When things start to become clear, just to shake it up Molly McAdams brings in Carter - her best friend from the Marine Base who is also in love with her.
When life-changing decisions occur , who will Harper rely and lean on ? Will her brief college and family interaction she have prepare her for the future she is about to experience ?
Taking Chances for those who have read Beautiful Disaster will find in parts, a similar storyline - the only difference is that Taking Chances will definitely take you on a rollercoaster of raw emotions and intense spots.
After the experience I have had with From Ashes and now Taking Chances, I am adding Molly McAdams to my all-time favourite authors list.

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...
