Truth or Beard (Winston Brothers, #1)

Review: Truth or Beard - Book #1 Winston Brothers - Penny Reid - July 2015

Firstly, I love everything that Penny Reid writes as her humour shines through her books and makes me laugh and in places, especially the part about the bananas and coconuts rubbing together and how Jackson's Banana has been wrapped a few times made me crack up and I read it aloud to my partner. The second thing is I adore this cover, with the whole crossstitch imagery going on. So when I had heard that Penny Reid had a new book out , I knew I had to read and try it. I have to say, I did enjoy it but not as much as her other series. In Truth or Beard, we meet Jessica James who is a sexy maths teacher - yes it does happen, I had a sexy science teacher in high school who actually in the same year turned out to be a guest at my cousin's wedding.  All through her schooling , she had a major crush on Beau Winston - one of the twins , he made her swoon whereas Duane Winston - the other twin got her all riled up. Years pass and they are all back in the same town and now it seems that Jessica is falling for not Beau but Duane. If that wasn't bad enough, she has just found out her parents aren't actually her parents - that she was adopted by her Aunt when she was a baby. For this storyline , I was hoping that we would discover more about Jessica's biological dad as I had wondered if he was Razor - part of the Iron Dragons MC. 
Truth or Beard was another great story by Penny Reid and if you love humour with your romance then this is the read for you . I am looking forward to reading more of The Winston Brothers as the other thing I enjoyed about this book was the great family chemistry and connection between The Winston Brothers despite how dysfunctional and troublesome their family had been portrayed.

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...
