Review: The Bet - Book #1 Bet Series - Rachel Van Dyken - March 2013

I don't know what it is , but I am dreadful at often reading series in order. It's like I have this affinity to read them out of order and trust me it is never an intentional move. The one thing I am glad is that often the ones that I do read out of order , aren't nessecary to have read Book #1 so I can always catch the gist.  The Bet is Book #1 of a series in which I read Book #2 a couple of months back.  In The Bet , we have a wicked love triangle which begins when the three main characters were little children. Kacey is the girl and she has since birth been best friends with Jake - he is one of the guys, the thing is though that Jake's older brother Travis - the other guy is also in love with Kacey and believes that one day she will be his and it will be his ring on her finger not Jake's. When the boys are younger, they start this bet of One Million dollars to see who will have Kacey first and so begins years of back and forth and games with each brother trying to get one better on the other. Now years later,  Kacey has recieved news that Jake and Travis's grandmother is ill and dying and of course her last wish is to see one of her boys married to Kacey. So begins the challenge where Jake asks Kacey for the course of the time she's staying here to be his fake fiance . We have all read books like this and know that more often this can only end in disaster.  Normally in books like this , there isn't a love triangle but in The Bet there is and what will happen when Travis arrives and Kacey finds herself falling for the older brother. Who will win the Bet - Travis or Jake ? Which will get the girl and will any of them actually get the girl when Kacey discovers their little betting game going on ?
Find out in this awesome book by Rachel Van Dyken - the first in her Bet Series . A New Adult Romance that all will enjoy and readers if you love Grandma Mazur from the Stephanie Plum books then you will love Jake and Travis's Grandmother.

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
