Review: Full Steam Ahead - Valerie Chase - January 2014

 With the high amount of books published in a genre , sometimes you just feel like you are reading the same thing over and over again and then all of a second - you find one that jumps out at you and makes you go OMG, this is such an awesome book and you want to scream and shout about it. Full Steam Ahead ,people was just that. This started off like any other New Adult novel with the graduating sororities off on a boat cruise and Georgia Cantwell dreading this trip as she had just broken up with rich guy Hunter. Everyone thinks the break-up was mutual but it wasn't.  The reasons go deeper than that as Georgia's family are broke-poor and over their head in debt. Also two years ago, Georgia committed a felony and now she is being blackmailed and threatened if she doesn't pay the blackmailer $15,000 dollars but of course, where on earth is she going to get that money from when she has to buy knock-offs and find free alcohol to fit in ? Meanwhile Georgia now having broken up with Hunter has to share a free room with Jace - one of the frat brothers who has a reputation for being a playboy and also from the wrong side of the tracks. But as they spend time with each other , will Georgia realise that it doesn't matter who you are but what's inside that counts and that often in order to be strong and move forward you need someone who will stand beside you , no matter what happens and who won't be judging you along the way.
For those looking for a hidden treasure in the New Adult world, check out Valerie Chase's Full Steam Ahead.

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...
