Scratched (The Anderson Brothers, #2)

Review: Scratched - Book #2 The Anderson Brothers - Marie Long - August 2015

Do you enjoy reading about African-American characters and enjoy reading about books where it's all about the bass, no trouble ? Scratched by Marie Long, I thought judging by the cover would be your usual contemporary romance but I was definitely in for an emotional and bumpy ride as the lives of the characters are anything but rosy and cheerful. Scratched is about Kevin Anderson - he is the middle child and at 24, he is responsible for his younger brother Dom and doing what makes him happy - being a DJ and playing basketball.  Reading Scratched, we learn that Kevin was on his way to the top in basketball and could have easily been drafted until due to family issues - he had to drop out of college. This is the part that gets edgy and if you aren't one for abuse - then do not read any further as this book isn't for you. Dom - the youngest brother was raped by his father who ten years ago almost killed Kevin the same night. His father took the cowards way out and killed himself, but the family has never been the same. Now ten years later, it's their mum's birthday and she wants all her sons under the same roof. Can Kevin get that to work especially with all the bad blood and memories between them all ? The other storyline that runs through is that Kevin wants someone to love him, someone to love him- for him and not for the fame and fortune that comes with his DJ'ing and sport. Has he found that with Trinity ? Or is she only interested in the "Kevintron" side of him and will he allow himself to be "burned" once again ?
Find out in "Scratched" by Marie Long.

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
