Review: Dear Emily - Book #1 Forever Family Series - Trudy Stiles - December 2013

Are you wanting to read a heartfelt story ? One that will tug at your heartstrings and may even reflect something in your life ? For me , that was Dear Emily by Trudy Stiles. I have had this book on my wishlist to read ever since I participated in the cover reveal as I loved the cover so much and then reading the blurb it sounded like something up my alley. In Dear Emily, we meet Carly who suffered a tragedy in University and then later as a result she was unable to have children and wanting to adopt a child to help complete her family. The other main female character was Tabitha who is the mother of Emily - the baby that Carly will be adopting. Reading Tabitha's story and what she was feeling was the part that tugged at my heartstrings as due to circumstances I have had two nephews go into other families as my sister in ways resembled Tabitha and was unable to look after her two boys whereas Tabitha had already given up one daughter and was about to give up another. The title comes from the fact that both parties write letters to Emily as she is still in the womb. I loved the way that this author added letters to Emily to thread through the story and I cannot wait for the next book in this series. If you are wanting a new author to discover and a lovely book to settle down with then head now and purchase your copy of "Dear Emily" as this is one book that needs to go on everyone's reading lists for 2013/2014.

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...
