Review: Unlikely Venture - Kristen Luciani - October 2014

Have you watched the TV Show Chasing Life ? The one where the girl discovers that she has Cancer and then tries to keep it a secret and go forth with life and not let the disease rule her life.  That is what sort-of Unlikely Venture reminded me of . The main character Jessica discovers that she has MS and loses her fiance as he can't take the idea of their future with MS. After this , Jessica decides to chuck herself into work by keeping busy. However, it seems life has a whole different plan for her as she meets James Callahan while running late for a meeting. Jessica doesn't think much of it , just as a nuisance to her day but what will happen when she keeps running into him throughout the next few days ? If one guy wasn't enough , she also happens to run into Paul - a guy whom she got terribly drunk and had a one night stand with. A night that she wished she could erase, but it doesn't seem that easy as Paul doesn't want to forget Jessica and along with James has plans in winning her love. What will happen though when she does fall for one of the guys and reveals her secret disease ? Will she find herself left alone once again or will she discover that she can have both - being sick and being in love and that not all guys are jerks and will run off and leave you in a heartbeat.
Unlikely Venture mixes Office romances, the edginess of having a disease and the planning of the future.

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
