Review: Second Rate Chances by Holly Stephens

-

 
I don't know about how the majority of other readers feel , but I do know that personally for me - the catergory of "New Adult" was an awesome creation as they are all the novels that I have loved reading for years and now there is a WHOLE catergory dedicated to them.
Today's one was AMAZING .....
Review: Second Rate Chances - Holly Stephens - January 2013
Firstly, I have to say I am one who really enjoys the whole amnesiac who reconnects with his past type of girl and when you add this to the whole "I AM IN LOVE WITH NA" you get a doubly excited Paula and OMG this was awesome . The prologue to this novel starts with Lil and Sam buying their first house and the last sentence was "Nothing will tear us apart" , then Chapter #1 starts with three years later and Sam is engaged to someone named Chloe and it gets the reader thinking "wait a minute, have I missed something" and yes I did turn back and re-read the prologue just to be sure. Then at the end of Chapter #1 Sam is injured in an accident and he has lost his memory , which re-enters Lil into the picture as the last thing he remembers was buying the house. He believes him and Lil are still together, but three years ago they split and it broke Lil so badly she had to go to therapy lessons. When doctors persuade her that she is Sam's only hope ,will she help him to discover the last three years ? What will happen though when Sam discovers that three years ago when he turned his back on Lil - he turned his back on his friends and family also. Will Sam like the "New Sam " he had become and when he does regain his memory - will he go back to the life he was living the past three years and get married to Chloe his fiancee or has this accident given Sam and Lil a second chance at the happiness they should have been sharing the past three years ?

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...
