Review: Twice in a Lifetime - Book #1 Love Found Series - Ruthie Henrick - January 2014

One of my favourite books of all-time happens to be Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern where the two main characters fall in love with each other and then over the years they write letters to each other as no matter what happens they cannot be together as life and other loves get in the way of their happiness until eventually they are both free of their previous engagements and can finally be together with the one they truly love.  To me, that was Twice in a Lifetime by Ruthie Henrick was similar to as Allie and Jake first meet each other in college as Jake is busy dating Allie's roommate and she decides that Allie needs a night out and sets her up on a blind date with Jake's best friend Ben. Ben and Allie hit it off , though her feelings for Jake will always be in the background as there is a spark between the two. Ben and Allie later marry and have a son called Trey, then 16 years later Ben dies leaving Allie not only a mess due to a secret revealed but alone. Thank goodness though, Jake is still around and she turns her comfort towards him and the pair realise that their love bond is still strong. Can Allie and Jake get to the point where their being together won't feel weird like they are rubbing it in to their dead friend Ben ? Find out to see whether Allie will finally receive the love she has been longing for with Jake in "Twice in a Lifetime". I loved this story as it made me think of personal situations and tales that I know of when it comes to true love and soulmates.

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
