Behind Her Smile

Review: Behind Her Smile - Olivia Luck - January 2016

One of my favourite authors that I enjoy is Olivia Luck, so when I saw that she had a new one coming out - I knew I just had to read it.  Behind Her Smile takes us into the life of the Morgans - David and his wife Karolina. Karolina came from nothing , but learned to live in luxury but she discovered as the years went by that having everything costs more than it should - it cost her almost her life.  David had money and wealth and what he wanted, he normally got and if it wasn't looking like he would get it - he would do anything to make it his and so when tragedy struck his family , he did what he thought he needed to in order to succeed he married starstruck and naive Karolina. Over the next five years, we will read as we discover that often the perfect families are not the perfect ones behind closed doors as Karolina suffered abuse at David's hands.  What will happen though now that her life is in danger as both her and David are kidnapped ? Is this finally Karolina's chance of freedom from her life she has lived and learned to hate ? Behind Her Smile flips back and forth from the time just before Karolina first met David to now and after their five year wedding anniversary.  When everything is finally over, will Karolina be able to have someone to lean on or has David made sure she has been ostracised by those who know her and their family ?
Behind Her Smile was another edgy and wonderful book by Olivia Luck and I look forward to what else she has in mind for the upcoming year.

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...
