The Road to Lilyfields


Review: The Road to Lilyfields - Lottie Bloom - March 2015

From New Zealand author Lottie Bloom comes a story of a woman jilted from a relationship she thought was to be "the one" when Rosa walks in on her long-time boyfriend Michael having sex with a mutual acquaintance , she knows that it's really a time for a change and like most people who go through a major upheaval as she was in a long term relationship with Michael, she decides to move away. Sick of the city and fast-paced life , she decides to move to the country-side and start fresh with her inheritance money and a bit of savings. Rosa has found the perfect little cottage "Lilyfields" and despite her brother's constant worry as the house is in dire need of a fix-up , Rosa is determined to make it work and she does for a while as her neighbour - the countryside's local Jack of all trades and appropriately named Jack, has been keeping her company and it seems that Rosa might have found someone new to start a relationship with as the pair get closer and closer. What will happen though when Christmas rolls around and each of them receive blasts from the pasts ? Each blast from the past which holds the key to whether they are strong enough to stick together and work through the kinks or is their relationship still in the flimsy stage where the pair of them are letting their past lives hold them back and hinder them from moving forward ?
The Road to Lilyfields was not only a nice Kiwi Contemporary Romance Chick Lit but also a tale that sometimes a change in scenery and people does help you in the journey to move forward and start new but in doing so , you must still mend the past as it has a way of coming to bite you on the bottom at the most inconvenient times.

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
