Thrown (Aspen Valley, #1)

Review: Thrown - Book #1 Aspen Valley - Colette Auclair - December 2013

Are you a fan of Horse stories ? Love those romances where your ordinary girl gets the celebrity but not without a lot of drama and troubles ? I may not be a huge animal lover but I have always enjoyed reading horse stories ever since I was a little girl and in love with Pony Pals and The Saddle Club tales. In Thrown we meet Amanda Vogel who was on her way to the Olympics as an amazing rider and jumper but all that came crashing down when her best friend Courtney was killed in an riding accident and it struck Amanda hard as she fell into a depression state. Now she has been offered a job for the summer break which will help with her desperate financial situation. She has been hired as a teacher for Hollywood Celebrity Grady Brunswick's daughters Solstice and Wave. Two very spoilt children who like to get their own ways - one part that made me laugh at how spoiled they were was when Grady asked Amanda if she could make the horses look more like My Little Ponies and Pimp them . As the book goes along we read as Solstice and Wave start to like Amanda and vice versa and soon she becomes like a substitute mum/friend for the girls and things seem to be looking up in the romance department for Amanda and Grady, but will it all fall apart when not only Grady's mother Estelle comes to visit but also Grady's hot co-star and on/off girlfriend actress Priscilla who wants to be the one whose fingers adorn Grady's engagement ring. Will Grady grow a backbone and stand up for what he wants and fight for the one he loves or will she become another missed opportunity for him ?
Find out in Thrown by Colette Auclair , in the Aspen Valley series - a series I am looking at continuing and reading the next two books.

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
