Midnight Run (Once Upon a Desire Book 1)

Review: Midnight Run - Book #1 Once Upon A Desire - Charity Hillis - May 2015

Are you one for where the "plain jane" , the ordinary one gets the hot guy ? I love stories like that probably more so as I often can relate to the one being called the "plain jane" rather than the stunning pretty leggy blonde girl. In Midnight Run, I instantly liked the character Nora as she lives in New York City and works hard at Books, Brew Coffee shop where she is treated like rubbish by the other employees but she is definitely hardworking and I felt when I was reading the book that she was a kindred spirit.  The book starts with Nora at the coffee shop cleaning up a mess when a hot texan walks in - Kingston and orders a coffee. The two share this amazing spark and then they go their separate ways. Later on in the story Nora joins a Midnight Running group as she has gotten a job promotion which means she can't run in the mornings.  Turns out that Kingston is on the team but the thing is when Nora runs she wears her contacts and her hair up in a runners ponytail and Kingston doesn't recognise her. We then read as Kingston is torn between the two women - the Barista and the Runner except we know they are the same woman. When things start to look up though, will their HEA turn out short-lived when Kingston feels like he has been played ? Can Nora prove to him that she loves him and that it wasn't her intention as she believed he couldn't love someone as plain and boring like her ? Find out in this cutesy HEA tale where the Plain Jane or Nora in this case gets the Hot Guy- Kingston.  PS : one of this things I loved in this book was that Kingston's nephews adding that country feel were called Blake and Shelton :)
This made me smile as I am a big country singer fan.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
