Review: Love this Life - Book #2 Love's Great Adventures Series - Theresa Troutman - June 2014

Tess and Sebastian have moved to NY and are happily settling into their new lives with Tess studying at NYU and working part-time at a bookstore and Sebastian working at an art gallery surrounded by amazing paintings and painters such as Andy Warhol. The book is set in the 1980's and starts in 1986 with Tess's Freshman Year and we read as Tess's eyes wander over to fellow classmate Dan who definitely wants to know Tess a lot more than just in the classroom. Tess loves Sebastian and dreams of marrying him one day, so why is she feeling lust and feelings for Dan ? Can the couple get over this bump as they have only just gotten engaged ? Sebastian still holding that air of finances wants the best of everything for him and Tess but can he learn to budget and handle life without the riches and finances he is used to since he has been disowned by his mother ? With a wedding coming up, Tess wants something nice and simple but will she feel pressured for something more grander and expensive when Sigourney - Sebastian's sister tries to help her organise and purchase items ? 
The next chapter of the book is set in 1987 Tess's Sophomore year and she discovers that she is pregnant, she can't be though as she's not ready for a baby now. It seems though that Sebastian is overjoyed and ready to take on the challenge of fatherhood. As Tess gets more in denial of the baby and their relationship becomes rocky and torn - can the pair pull it together for the baby's sake as well as Tess's. The next and final chapter is four years later and they have a beautiful daughter called Mattie and it seems that with Tess's new job promotion , they will be headed for another of their Love's Great Adventures as they head over to the land of Paddington Bear. 
This was a lovely contemporary romance novel with lots of ups and downs and no matter what the obstacles were thrown in their paths, it shows readers that if you really love someone with all your heart, you can really overcome anything and put it all down to one of Love's Great Adventures.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
