Review: Incarcerated - Inger Iversen - September 2014

When I first saw this book , I read the blurb and was instantly interested in reading it as I am a big fan of anything to do with the justice system be it crime novels or prison stories, the second thing I love is Letter writing. One of my all-time favourite books is a story called Letters from the Inside by John Marsden which is about a prisoner writing letters to an outsider and the two eventually fall in love. Thinking about it , makes me want to re-read it LOL. Incarcerated was along the same story-lines, where we meet Katie who is seen to be like an Oreo due to her growing up in privilege and with a Swedish stepfather. Katie is also now a popular female Romance writer and Logan Whyte who is in prison serving time for armed robbery among other things. He also is semi-racist as was brought up to hate everything that black people represented including blacks in general. When a prison pen-pal program starts up, Katie decides to secretly sign herself up under a fake name as of course her stepfather is a prison guard there so she is ineligible for the programme under her real name. She is paired with Logan and soon the two start writing back and forth to each unaware what each other looks like , soon the letters turn to daily phone calls and they find themselves falling head over heels for each other. What will happen though when it comes to them sending each other photos of themselves and Logan discovers he has fallen in love with a black woman ? Can he get over his prejudice ? Will it be an easy ride for him especially when his old crowd - who hates blacks are waiting for him on the outside ? 
This was such an awesome book which I think everyone should read and will enjoy. It also has the theme that Love is Colourblind and that to really love someone you fall for what's on the inside rather than the outside.

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...
