Review: An American Girl in Italy - Aubrie Dionne - May 2014

Going to Italy and playing in concerts around Europe would be anyone's dream , a nice vacation with a little music on the side. For Carly though who does not like change and is not one for romantic and spontaneous gestures as we gather from the story, she is not too keen but sees this as a once in a lifetime opportunity and along with her orchestra , she heads to Italy. Reading this book, I would kindly take Carly's place as who wouldn't love a trip to Italy and experience the Italian vineyards, the culture and the history. It seems though that Carly has unintentionally caught the eye of the tour guide Michaelangelo who is hiding a secret that could cause him to not only lose his job but his family's vineyard which was passed onto him, so he has one goal in mind - to focus on taking the tour and not stuffing up, this is hard to do though as Carly has captured not only his attention but also his heart. What will happen though when it seems that he has the attention of spoilt diva Alaina ? Can he let Alaina down easily or is she the type to have everything handed to her and in her world - there is no second best ? An American Girl in Italy was a nice contemporary romance that mixed both the American and Italian cultures together with the occassional stereotype chucked into the mix.

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

  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...
