What Would Lizzy Bennet Do? (The Jane Austen Factor, #1)
Review: What Would Lizzy Bennet Do ? - Book #1 The Jane Austen Factor -Katie Oliver - January 2016

Growing up with the name Lizzy Bennet and living in the same town as a wealthy family called "The Darcy's" has to mean something doesn't it ? For Lizzy Bennet - the middle sister , for the past eight years she has been head over heels in love with Hugh Darcy - the older of the Darcy Boys. Lizzy is excited as she has recieved news that Hugh is finally coming home and what perfect timing to come home as currently a film set is using their property as a backdrop for a Pride and Prejudice remake. It seems fate is pointing in their direction. That is until Hugh comes home with a woman in tow - Holly James - his new fiancee and heiress to a range of Department Stores around England. Lizzy is devastated , but soon she puts on her "WWLD" hat and challenges Holly to several activities as she tries to prove to Hugh that she is his perfect match and not Holly. Meanwhile , Lizzy's younger sister Charlotte has a Hollywood crush on actor Ciaran Duncan who is playing Mr. Wickham and it seems that if Charlotte is not careful - this couple may play out the roles of Lydia and Mr. Wickham as his life seems to resemble that of his role in the movie. If you love Jane Austen renditions and the tale of Pride and Prejudice set in a more contemporary setting , then you will agree with me when I say "It's a truth universally acknowledged, that every Austenite fan should read "What Would Lizzy Bennet Do ? by Katie Oliver this 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...
