Songbird

Review: Songbird - Victoria Escobar - August 2015

When I first saw this book there were two things that jumped out at me , the first was that it was about music and in particular country music which I love as I am such a fan of country over any other type of music and the second thing was that it was set in Nashville, which I was lucky enough to visit back in December 2013. Nashville has always held a place in my heart as being one of the top homes to country and western music and anytime I read a book there now it makes me smile as I can be like I've been there and more often than not the author will mention something in Nashville and I'm like I've been there or I know where that is and it makes reading the book more real and personal. In Songbird we meet Bianca who reading the story, she had the power to become big and in a famous way huge, but personal life got in the way and obstacles which caused her to instead of embracing the limelight caused her to backtrack and run from her past. However, for most people once you have a passion or talent -no matter how hard you try to escape it  -you can't and for Bianca - her talent and passion was music so she began playing in entertainment halls around Nashville. Then wham, bam she gets a massive break with a country band starring Nicholas Walker and then at that stage the readers can see what's going to happen as these two have a few sparks despite their ups and downs and problems as Nicholas is one of those males who haven't yet grown up - a case of Peter Pan Syndrome. What will happen though when her past , the one she has been running from turns up in full blow mode ? Will Walker stand by his girl or will she realise that when the going gets tough, you have to fight alone ?
Find out in Songbird by Victoria Escobar - a novel where your dreams will always find a way to come true and to stop and look around and realise -that no matter how much you think you are alone in this world, you always have at least one other person standing on your side of the court.
 Songbird by Victoria Escobar is the perfect read for all those wanting to get a fix of a Country Musician and a Romance Fix with a bit of a rollercoaster ride.

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...
