Review: Wild Cards - Book #1 Wild Cards -Simone Elkeles-  October 2013 

Derek has pushed too far this time and has found himself expelled from his boarding school and now to make matters worst as his father is underwater for the next five months, he has to move to Chicago with his stepmother and her son Julian.  Meanwhile , Ashtyn's life has been crazy as she has just made the Varsity team football as Captain - a spot most coveted. However in doing so, this has made her love life go down the toilet as her QB boyfriend Landon is severely jealous of her. Now to complicate things, Ashtyn's big sister Brandie has arrived home with her son Julian and stepson Derek in tow. The two at first don't hit it off and then we start to realise that of course, this is a cover-up reaction as they really do like it each other. What happens next is a lot of tension between Derek and Ashtyn as we soon discover that dysfunctional families are not the only thing they have in common. Can the pair afford to take a risk and try their wild cards on each other or is this a doomed relationship from the very start ?
Wild Cards is one of those romance novels that if you love Football , then you will enjoy this. Think Friday Night Lights (TV Show) and you have Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles.

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
