Armed and Fabulous (Lexi Graves Mystery, #1)

Review: Armed and Fabulous - Book #1 Lexi Graves Mysteries Series - Camilla Chafer - May 2012

Coming from a family of cops, you would have thought that possibly Lexi Graves would have gone into the law field as her brothers are policemen, her dad now a retired cop and her sister is a lawyer and ready to make partner. Whereas Lexi is happily working away as a temp in an office where she can play "dumb" and not have to think too much. Her latest job is working as a temp at Green Hand Insurance agency, typing up reports for the VP Martin Dean and trying to avoid the eyes of her boss Adam who BTW is a hunk. One night , she heads in to drop the report when she discovers Martin is dead and next thing she knows she is being pulled into the closet with a hand over her mouth. Turns out that some dodgy dealings have been happening at Green Hand Insurance and that Adam is in fact an Undercover agent and Lexi has now stumbled into a murder mystery.  Think Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and her sidekick Lulu and you have Camilla Chafer's Lexi Graves and her roomie Lily as they try and solve the murder themselves. Instead of Ranger and Joe Morelli , you have Adam and Solomon - Adam is like the Joe Morelli and Solomon is like Ranger and of course , they both want a bit of Lexi and there is chemistry between Lexi and both guys. Can Lexi help the police force to find the killer before she is next as some strange and odd gifts have been piling up on her doorstep and car windscreen.
If you love romantic comedies and humourous spy stories like Stephanie Plum and Charley Davidson , then you will love Camilla Chafer's character Lexi Graves.
To finish off, one of my favourite book quotes:

Cagney and Lacey serious ?
Deadly serious
Castle and Beckett serious ?
Castle and Beckett serious 
Why do I have to be Castle. I want Beckett
Hey. Castle is Sexy and I'm Beckett.
Rizzoli and Isles ?
They are two kick ass women who solve crime and don't need a man.

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...
