Review: Summer In Napa - Book #2 A St. Helena Vineyard Novel - Marina Adair - May 2013

Lexi has lost everything she has ever worked for and all in the name of love and divorce. As fifteen years ago , Lexi married Jeff -though she had always held a soft spot for playboy Marc DeLuca - the timing just never seemed right until fifteen years later when Lexi discovered Jeff in bed with another woman. Fleeing home , Lexi hopes to start her own little cafe business but things start to go terribly wrong when she is served court papers and Jeff is suing her by saying that her family recipes belong to the restaurant that they owned as a couple. If trouble in paradise and trying to move on with her life wasn't hard enough, try adding the fact that her grandmother and her grandmother's best friend ChiChi have set her up a dating profile and a blog and are setting her up with a mountain load of blind dates. What will happen though, when the situation arises and Marc and Lexi decide to come up with the solution of Marc being Lexi's fake boyfriend. Little does the other one realise, that each has strong feelings for the other.  As we all know what formula romances follow we read as the sparks start to fly between Marc and Lexi and just when things are about to heat up and go "POP" along comes Jeff - Marc's best friend and Lexi's ex-husband with the reason why he needed those recipes that have been in her family for centuries and worst thing is that Lexi discovers that Marc is involved somehow.  Breaking her heart all over again, will Lexi be able to forgive Marc and find a second chance at love or will it be a matter of duped twice and left to wallow in spinsterhood for the rest of her life?

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
