Believe (True Believers, #3)

Review: Believe - Book #3 True Believers Series - Erin McCarthy -  January 2014

What happens when two people running from their past and trying to start fresh and new fall into each other's arms yet their pasts haven't exactly left them. Can the pair make each other believe that the other person is worth it and that sometimes in the game of love, when all else fails , you have to often believe that you have found a good thing and that though more often than not most good things are too good to be true, that in the darkness if you believe then you have hit the jackpot of love.  Robin used to be the party girl in her group, dressing up to the nines , hooking up with strangers and getting wasted as that's what college was all about right , hanging loose and experimenting ? That was until one party where she got so wasted that she blacked out and when she awoke the next morning, she had done the one thing she thought she would or could never do and that was sleep with her best friend's Kylie's boyfriend Nathan.  As a result of this, Robin goes downhill pretty fast due to guilt which shows us Robin's true character and that no matter what had happened that night, she actually is one of the nicest and decent girls as if she wasn't then she would not have gotten so depressed and sick with guilt over a one night stand that happened due to alcohol.  Phoenix , has just gotten out of jail and is staying with his cousins' till he can find some place to live and get a job. His cousin Riley happens to be Robin's friend Jessica's boyfriend and so the pair meet when he is staying at Riley's. The pair start talking and sparks are a flying, I loved this book as Phoenix had never been spoilt and treated with simple things like picnics, and part of Phoenix's personality and upbringing and then Robin's made me think of my boyfriend and I as there were some similarities in characteristics. I think that's what made me enjoy this story even more so, the other part that I loved about this book was that no matter what the other person had done and thought they could not be forgiven - the other person in question showed them that true love forgives and that nobody is perfect but if you truly love one another flaws and all - things that often are deemed important slide away and you are left with the real gritty details and that if the person still stays when they have seen that side, then ding ding - you have found a winner.
I'm a sucker for the Edgy New Adult Love Stories that have a HEA, and if you are too - then check out Believe as you will be a "Believe"r of True Love once you have turned the last page.

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...
