The Australian (Crime Royalty Romance #2) 

Review: The Australian - Book #2 Crime Royalty Romance Series - Lesley Young - March 2015

Have you ever decided one day to pack up everything and leave ? I know the thought as constantly crossed my mind but I have yet to do it. For Charlie Sykes though after her mother overdosed, she decided on a whim after watching Muriel's Wedding one more time to go across the ditch to Sydney, Australia. Reading this book , I gathered that Charlie was on the Asperger's Syndrome Spectrum as throughout the book she talks about the inability to recognise emotions and certain statements and she takes everything very literally. When a job as a PA arises for Knight Enterprises working for Jace Knight, she decides on a whim to go for the job and due to her honestly and bluntness - she gets the job. Though as the novel goes along, we see that Jace wants her as something more than his secretary. What will happen though when Charlie is accosted by Sullivan Blaise - one of Jace's security guys and it is discovered he is in fact an undercover agent with ASIS ( Australia's Secret Intelligence Service) who have been monitoring Jace and now the want Charlie to help them gather intel.  As Charlie is thrust deeper into Jace's world and soon the pair start to develop romantic feelings, can she keep the truth hidden or will she blurt it out to him causing him to feel betrayed and left hurt by the whole thing ? 
Find out in "The Australian" where one decision can lead to new opportunites and one choice can lead to a domino of actions and consequences in the game of life.
After enjoying this book, I am looking forward at reading Book #1 "The Frenchman"

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
