Dear Jack (Finding Emma, #1.5) 

Review: Dear Jack -Book #1.5 Finding Emma Series - Steena Holmes - November 2012

We first meet Dottie and Jack in the book Finding Emma which was about the discovery that Emma wasn't their granddaughter and that she had been kidnapped by their daughter Megan. Kind of like "The Face on the Milk Carton" type story. Dear Jack takes us back decades ago when Jack went off to War leaving Dottie at home alone with their daughter Megan. In this book it is a quick read novella that contains letters after letters that Dottie has written to Jack expressing her heartfelt emotions, feelings and their everyday life of Dottie and Megan. Alongside the characters is Doug, her husband's best friend and when one day the letters stop - she believes the worst that he is dead and so of course, they start a new life Doug, Dottie and Megan. Then a cliched storyline that we have seen in numerous war movies, books etc - think Pearl Harbour -Jack returns home . Will it be soon enough though or will Dottie and Doug already said their "I Do's" ? Of course, if you have read Finding Emma before this book , then you know how it ends.

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
