Review: Dear Tabitha - Book #2 Forever Family Series - Trudy Stiles - March 2014

For all those who have read Book #1 in this series "Dear Emily" will know that Tabitha is Emily's mother and that she gave Emily up for adoption as she knew that she couldn't raise her by herself, it was a hard decision that she had to make but Tabitha did ensure that Emily went to an amazing home and her parents were great and continued to let Tabitha build a relationship with Emily. Dear Tabitha has a past and a present point of view. In the past we first see Tabitha's pre-relationship leading up to Emily's birth , from meeting Alex eight years ago to the current time. We also read about Alex's upbringing and the abuse he suffered at the hands of his Pop. The present is set two years after Emily's birth and the passing of Emily onto her adoptive parents. In Tabitha's story, we also learn about Sarah the daughter she was told she had been adopted and given away when she fell into a bad crowd and one mean guy in particular Tony who threatened to kill her. In present times, Tabitha has just recieved a letter from Tony's mother after all these years and what will be written inside the letter will turn Tabitha's life completely topsy-turvy and upside down. In Alex's story, we read about his abusive past and leading up to the time he first meet Tabitha, the time when he knew he was in love with her but of course Alex broke Tabitha's heart. Can he get Tabitha to forgive him ? In the present time , can Alex prove to Tabitha that she is his one and only and that no matter what obstacles that are chucked in their way, that he loves her so much he would do anything for her - even the possibility of having an instant family with her.
Dear Tabitha was another powerful read and that everyone who has ever gone through the adoption process or known the feeling of having someone they love ripped from their arms, or having a piece of them destroyed and eventually put back together will enjoy and find a moving tale.

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
