What Happens in London (Adventures Abroad)

Review: What Happens in London - Book #1 Adventures Abroad Series - Jen McConnel - June 2015

This was my favourite Adventures Abroad book so far. Book #1 What Happens in London is Sarah's story.  It starts off with her in London, doing a Nannying job for two little ones Gracie and Ben , that is until the mum starts to manipulate her and Sarah finds herself sick and out of work and even worse, out of a place to stay. This brings Sarah to the hostel where she meets Joelle - Joelle was the one from What Happens in Berlin and What Happens Abroad, the two become fast friends. Also in London, we note that Sarah is a bit of a bookworm and finds herself wandering around London and ending in a bookstore where she meets Carson - one of the workers. The pair meet and sparks fly and soon the two of them despite Sarah's reservations at first become a couple. Things are going well for Sarah and for her birthday Carson treats her to a trip to Amsterdam, this is where things for the pair start to go downhill and fast as Carson finds himself out of cash and Sarah accuses him of stealing and using her - which as we read , we can glimpse this is from her past where she had been verbally abused by her father. This part of the book I could relate to well , as I have been through similar circumstances and you do start to wonder - whether they really do like you or whether you are being the butt of their jokes. This book finishes on a wee cliffhanger and leaves me wondering whether Sarah and Carson will ever get their HEA. I am hoping the author will conclude Sarah's story as she did Camie's in What Happens Abroad.

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
