Review: Life in the no-dating Zone - Patricia B. Tighe - December 2014

When Claire was 12-14 years old , her family suffered alot of drama which reminded me of life in my family . This drama which included not only her older sister Mimi's relationship but also her parents and played such a big impact on Claire's life that she decided to make a vow. The vow was that during her high school years, she would be in a no-dating zone. All was going well until all her friends started to get boyfriends and things were seen as changing. During this part of the novel as Claire is also big on Lego, it made me wonder if she happened to be Asperger's as a lot of things had to be in routine, follow order otherwise it would be a panic or mini-meltdown for her. Enter Grayson aka Gray , he has had a long-time crush on Claire's best friend Lindsey - the one all the boys like and all the girls hate because she of course is the one that all their boyfriends want. Gray heads over to Claire's to ask her advice and her help in winning Lindsey's affections. As the novel goes we see Claire working with Gray and we the readers, start to catch glimpses of the chemistry between Claire and Gray - though of course they both are trying so hard to either A) not notice it or B) are being oblivious to what others can see. When it comes to the realisation point though, will Gray be with Lindsey or will he realise that it was Claire he loved all along. Will Claire be able to break her no-dating policy for Gray or will she be so set in her ways, that she will miss an opportunity to be happy ?
Find out in this sweet clean teen romance "Life in the No-Dating Zone".

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
