Before & After

Review: Before & After - Nazarea Andrews - July 2015

It's the night of Peyton's best friend Lindsey's bachelorette party and they are having an awesome time until tragedy strikes.. This is NOW. 
 The novel then jumps back three years, where Scott and Rike are working and strutting their stuff at Barrie's Bar as they are in a band and play their quite often when Rike spots a lovely red-head across the room , she is not the type of person who normally hangs out in this scene and she looks a bit out of place. Over time Rike strikes up a conversation with her - Her name is Peyton and the two of them start dating.  Peyton's roommate Lindsey is a bit of a free spirit and has been having casual no-strings fun with Scott - Rike's best friend and soon Scott and Lindsey start dating as well. This is BEFORE.  
Peyton has woken up in hospital and it seems that she is suffering amnesia as she cannot for the life of her , remember the past three years. In fact the last thing she remembers is when she was twenty, and all she can remember is her friend Lindsey - her "new" roommate. Lindsey on the other hand has her memory, but has been paralysed and what should have been the happiest day of her life walking down the aisle and celebrating her honeymoon with Scott has been dampened by the news that she will never walk again. This is AFTER
Can Rike help Peyton remember and will she even want her help as she can't remember who he is to her and why she would find herself with this group of "misfits" as she calls them as they aren't like the life she remembers ? Will Peyton regain her memory and learn to love her friends and life again, or will it be lost forever ?
Nazarea Andrews's book "Before & After" reminded me quite a lot of the movie "The Vow" starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum where they had an accident and she lost her memory and could only remember her perfect life before him.
This is the perfect read for all those who love their Contemporary Romance New Adult Books - a Bit more on the Edgier and Gritter side of life.

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...
