Review: The Derby Girl -Getting Physical Series Book #2 - Tamara Morgan - August 2013
 
Gretchen is your fun loving middle aged woman . In her 30's she is a lover of learning , a lifesaver and teacher of Aqua jogging , a barista at Java Coffee Club and a member of her local Roller Derby team. On a way home one night from Roller Derby, she comes across a guy - Dr. Jared Fine stranded on the road with a flat tire. Their conversation goes from great to Jared being an jerk within a few minutes. However, Jared hasn't meet anyone so invigorating and awesome and wants to know Gretchen more. Gretchen on the other hand doesn't like getting too attached.  Can a Derby Girl fall in love with a distinguished Doctor ?
I loved this book and the character Gretchen as she didn't care what people thought exactly of her except for her sisters of course which I can understand.  I also loved the fact that she cared for her Gran when no-one else would and that underneath her tough façade of tattoos and roller derby that she is such a sweet and sensitive girl as in the book : note the Wally the Lobster connection. As I have yet to read the first book in this series, I have it on my Ipad to read, I am now looking forward to it and seeing how that one turns out.

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...
