Review: Secrets of a Chalet Girl - Book #2 Ski Season Series - Lorraine Wilson - October 2013

From the cover of the book it looks like a fun light-hearted chicklit novel , one that reminds me of the movie Chalet Girl which is what I thought the book would be more about , however what happens is that it's a novel that starts off with a friend's bachelorette party and a dare to kiss the most attractive man in the pub. The girl on the cover is Flora - the main female lead , nervous and out of a bad relationship she lands her eyes on a guy attached to the hand with his cellphone. She walks up and WHAM BAM - sparks fly everywhere. The male lead is named Zac, he too is here for the wedding. What then turns into a one night stand novel and a random hookup becomes quite a deep novel as the author Lorraine Wilson delves deeper into the character's past and we as the reader are confronted with instances of affairs and physical abuse from husbands towards wives etc. Will this fling turn into something more when it's time to part ways or will they discover that what they had actually provides deeper meaning to both their lives  ? This book was a novella and was a quick read if you are looking for something to read either on your lunch break or just before bed . Also I think for this book, you will not have to have read the first one to catch the gist of it. It can be read as a stand-alone or part of the series.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
