Review: In the Stillness - Andrea Randall - April 2013
When I picked up In the Stillness, I had heard that it was an emotional ride but other than that I did not know what to expect. What I was handed was a young adult called Natalie who is a mother of twin four-year old boys and a stay @ home mother. That is one side of her , the other side touches the reader more deeply and that is Natalie , ten years ago lost the two of the people she cared and loved for most in the world. Her boyfriend's friend Lucas to death and her boyfriend Ryker to PSTD. Both guys were in the National Guard and sent to Afghanistan. This novel is not only your edgy New Adult type read but it is also a look at the Military side of things - the points of view of the wives and girlfriends of soldiers. The past few months for Natalie has been difficult and she has reacted by cutting herself , when things get too bad though - will she this time around reach out to her best girlfriend Tosha for help ? As things get worst , we read as Natalie looks at the big picture of her family and comes to the reality that she is miserable and has only ever loved one man in her whole life - Ryker. When a chance meeting happens between Ryker and Natalie , though it will bring up a bucketload of painful memories . Is this the solution, the cure that Natalie needs to finally be happy ? Will Natalie recieve a second chance at love and life with Ryker or will the thought of having an instant family scare Ryker ?
In the Stillness is a wonderful read and it really gives the readers, an insight on what it is lie to be in love with a soldier or somebody in the military.

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
