Review: Megan's Hope - Book #5 Finding Emma Series - Steena Holmes - December 2014

Fans of the Face on the Milk Carton and Finding Carter will love the Finding Emma series by Steena Holmes as it is all about a little girl Emma who was kidnapped and brought up in a different home with parents she loved, only to discover years later that it wasn't her real family and real home and that somewhere out there - another family , her real family had been looking for her. Emma is five years old and when she was a baby, she was kidnapped by Dottie and Jack's daughter and eventually left on their doorstep to raise which they have been doing for the past five years until somebody notified the authorities and after months of deliberations Emma was returned back to her "real" family . The thing is though that during this time Dottie has passed away, leaving only Jack and Doug in Emma's life. Jack was Emma's Papa and thank goodness that he has been welcomed into Emma's new family life with open arms. This story is the relationship between Emma's real mum Megan and Jack - her adopted Papa. Jack is dying and wishes to spend as much time as he can with Emma before he leaves to be reunited with Dottie, but as Megan gets to know Jack - can she let him go ? Megan's Hope follows Jack's last year month by month as we discover how each character touches one another's lives and that sometimes family really isn't just blood, but those we get to know and love.
This was one sweet novella , that not only has a Christmas theme but if you are wanting a quick family based novel to read with a little bit of sadness entwined with tears of happiness then Megan's Hope is the book for you.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
