Review: Soldier On - Sydney Logan - June 2014

Stephanie James has only one goal in mind, to get through her college years and graduate and then move onto a well-paid career. She has always been the hardworker in her group of friends and has made a goal not to date, especially not anyone associated with the military as growing up Steph didn't have a dad. Her dad was a soldier who died just before she was born in Desert Storm. From this her hatred of everything military grew. On the night of a costume party for New Years Eve , Steph while scouring the library has a midnight kiss with a guy dressed in military gear. She kisses him thinking that despite his uniform , he's cute and what the heck it's New Years Eve. The days pass though and Stephanie can't get the guy out of her head and nicknames him GI Joe. The only thing she wishes was that he wasn't dressed like a soldier at the costume party -otherwise he would have been absolutely perfect. We discover that the guy she kissed is Brandon Walker and soon begins the start of dating, the thing is though that he is "really" a soldier and once he graduates he will have to leave to go to the Fort and start training. What will happen though when things get really serious and heated only for Steph to discover he omitted the truth and that he is a soldier. Will she be able to get past her hatred of military or will this relationship turn out to be short-lived ?
Soldier On by Sydney Logan was a good military read and made me think about the TV series NCIS. It also shows readers, that no matter how much you hate of something - if you really love the person then you will be able to learn to live with that something you despise.

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
