Review: Misbehaving - Book #6 SeaBreeze Series - Abbi Glines - December 2013

One of my favourite New Adult romance writers is Abbi Glines. Most New Adult books tend to focus on some edgy issue and big dramas and play around with the idea and use it as the basis of their story but what I love about Abbi Glines's books is that they are more romantic and though the characters tend to be all messed up in their own ways, she chooses to focus more on the romance aspect rather than the "poor me" I'm this way because of my nasty childhood or something tragic happened to me which caused me to be this way aspects". The other thing that I absolutely love about Abbi Glines books and this goes for both her Rosemary Beach and SeaBreeze books is that the characters all intertwine with one another so in a book they may play a minor or a major character but they feature somewhere.  In Misbehaving by Abbi Glines, which is the sixth book in the SeaBreeze series we have the two main characters of Jess - who is cousin's with Rock and Rock is married to Trisha - who is Marcus and Amanda's older sister and also the couple that adopted Preston's younger siblings after his mum died. Jess in previous novels as made small guest appearances. The male lead goes to Jason Stone who is the younger brother of rockstar Jax Stone. Jax Stone is the one married to Sadie and we had their story in Breathe - Book #1. Sick of always living in his brother's shadow, Jason just wants to hang loose and have fun, but he never thought he would finally find love in SeaBreeze for himself as on a night of wild mayhem he meets Jess - who is from the other side of the tracks. She is everything that he isn't and he should not be near her but he can't help it. So what begins as a little fun and misbehaving though starts to turn into something more solid but what will happen when Jess gets a taste of his world and starts to believe she doesn't and never will belong ? Will she miss her one chance at happiness or will Jason get Jess to realise that she is his one and only ?
As a big fan of the TV Show Gilmore Girls, I really loved the dating analogies from Jess's Mum Starla about the guys in her life and how they relate to being a Dean - First Love , Logan - the rich one and Jess- The Soulmate and of course Rory- the girl. Thinking back to my GG days , I loved the character Jess and always did hope that somewhere along the track Rory got back with him as he did have high hopes and potential.

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
