Playing with Trouble (Capital Confessions, #2) 

Review: Playing with Trouble - Chanel Cleeton - July 2015

After the scandal that rocked Blair's family in Book #1 when it was discovered that she had a half-sister called Jackie and since her dad is quite a fearsome Senator , the press had a field day especially one tabloid gossip blog in particular "Capitol Confessions" hence where the title of this series comes from. The blog Capitol Confessions, which features a snippet at the heading of each chapter reminded me of the tv show and books "Gossip Girl" where during the series "Gossip Girl" would leak secrets of the cast around, secrets that each and everyone of them were trying to keep hidden to themselves. Blair is studying law and it seems that the hunky Professor Graydon Canter aka Gray, has it in for Blair as he always calls on her during class and loves to see her squirm. The truth of the matter though is this pair are attracted to each other, but their pride stands in the way of them actually getting off their high horses and doing something about it. Fate will push them together not only in a pro bono work project but at charity events as it turns out that Mr Canter is in high demand and has made the hottest "Thirty under Thirty list' which makes him the ideal eligible bachelor. If only is personality didn't make him hard to be around. With not only their lives but careers on the line , can Blair and Gray keep up a front and not let anyone know their secret ,even keeping it quiet from Capitol Confessions -which will be a mission in itself ? Or as the title suggests are the duo "Playing with Trouble" ?
Find out in this hot new Politics Meets Hunky Professor/Student New Adult romance today. Though this is Book #2 - it can also be read as a stand-alone novel.

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...
