Review: Hindsight - Sarah Belle - July 2013

When I saw this book available on Netgalley, I knew I just had to read it as I was captivated from the cover image and when I opened it I was sure on a ride for a great and enjoyable and at sad times novel. Hindsight is first set in the modern world where Juliette is a busy working mum with two boys Ethan and Cal and her husband Chris does most of the parenting. When after a party and a coffee date, Juliette overhears one of the single mothers Anja talking about hooking up with her husband Chris and just waiting for Chris to leave his wife - Juliette. Angry, she confronts him and then falls to sleep after copious amounts of alcohol. The next morning, Juliette awakes only to find herself in the year 1961 instead of 2013 and she is a happy stay-at-home mum with not two boys but three including an older son called Will. Her Mother is alive in this alternate reality but living in an insane asylum. Can Juliette figure out what has happened and play the role of a 1960's housewife or when she starts spouting off and forgetting things - will she find herself carted off to the Mental asylum and unable to return back to the modern world . What will happen though as Juliette comes to embrace the 1960's world and she discovers herself back in modern reality ? Will she mourn for the life she's lost, the son that only she knew and loved , the best friend she made across the road ? Has Juliette been given a second chance of happiness with her family ?
Hindsight is a lovely and sweet contemporary romance and is a quick and fascinating read, in a way it reminded me of the Brendan Fraser Movie when he goes back in time mixed with the Reese Witherspoon and Tobey Maguire - Pleasantville.

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
