Review: Unattainable - Victoria Escobar - April 2015

Wanting a night off to relax , Gwen heads to a bar to listen to some live music . She sits at the bar and talks to the bartender Yancey about life and how she doesn't really fit into this scene. I quite liked the character of Gwen as she was wearing a Captain America tshirt and since I am one for superhero tshirts, this made me smile and like her immediately.  We learn that Gwen is living a new life but has a hidden past as one of the world's best jewel thiefs and hoping she could move on with her life is one of her main goals , the thing is though is that she is now held on a short leash by Interpol as when one of her last jobs went terribly wrong , she found herself sitting with an ultimatum - work for us or go to prison. This part reminded me of Criminal Minds with Penelope Garcia's life when she used to be a hacker and was caught by the FBI and given the option to go to jail or work for the BAU and she chose the BAU over prison.  In the bar playing that night for all his groupies is lead singer Micah - in all his adorning body artwork and one word stands out in Gwen's mind 'Outcast" . Over the night we see Micah distracted by Gwen as for some reason he can't get it out of his head that she wasn't paying attention to his music like all the others and this draws him to her.  We later learn that Micah again just like Gwen has a dark past which led him into a lot of trouble and now he owes debt to the Chinese Triad run by Madam JingJing. She has a job for him that could wipe out most of his debt , but is it worth it ? During this time Gwen has been contacted by Interpol to help bring down none other than JingJing and her crew which of course Micah is a part of . When their jobs and lives collide what will happen when they start to fall for one another ? Can they make their goal of freedom or will the idea of love be the obstacle that stands in their way and makes their freedom and one desire - unattainable ? 
Find out in this RockStar/Criminal adventure packed novel filled with Danger, Romance and the Desire to be Free.

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
