Review: Homecoming - Jackie Sexton - June 2014

Ariane is the wallflower of her family, especially when it comes to her sisters and she has never had much luck with guys - in fact it is said that the women in her family due to a decision her grandmother made when she was younger were cursed by a gypsy to have bad luck in the romance department and that only when someone in the line could be loved completely and vice versa with an ancestor from the family line that the grandmother rejected would the curse be broken. Ariane's latest love interest has just broken her heart over the internet as he's in Brazil lapping it up with several beach hotties and now it's just in time for her sister's wedding to her high school sweetheart Todd. Liam  is a big star attraction in Hollywood but his heart isn't there and he wants to settle down and make serious films, scripts he actually cares about rather than the continious action puff pieces. When Todd announces his marriage to Liam, it's time for Liam to head home and get away from Hollywood . He has an ulterior motive though as Todd has been sending Liam pictures of Ariane's paintings and he has fallen for her. When the pair meet , he can see her wariness of him but can Liam show her the real "him" beneath the Hollywood star ? Also a twist of fate could see the love curse finally broken with Liam and Ariane.
This was a lovely New Adult Romance and had a hint of supernatural and ancestry history mixed in.

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
