Review: Lessons in Love - Clarissa Carlyle - Book #1 LIL Series - February 2014

Life can be a fleeting moment and it can change in a heartbeat, you can go from having everything to having nothing at all. That's what happened to Alexandra Herron when her dad was shot in a wrong place, wrong time shop hold-up. After he died her family lost everything as he had died leaving debt behind. Alex had to leave her private school life and flash house and move to a trailer park with her mum and brother and attend public school. Here she decided to re-invent herself and become Alex Herron - Cheerleader and barely scraping by on her grades and not Alexandra Herron - Violin player and maths genius. Its her last year at school and Alex is Head Captain of the Cheerleading squad and all is going well with her facade until a new maths teacher arrives Mr. Simmons. He is the only one who can see through Alex's facade and soon , they are spending time together in and out of the classroom. Can Mr. Simmons be the push that Alex needs to get her life back on track and to start re-discovering who she is ?
Find out in Book #1 of the Lessons of Love Series. This was a quick read and had that teacher/student relationship going on but what I loved about this book was that the relationship wasn't over-exaggerated and over-sexualised like I have read in the past.

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
